Thats not their model, and that model also sucks ass for supporting other humans.

I am one of those weirdos who likes to own my media. There are few of us geezers left, but luckily enough that bandcamp exists.

Keep it up bandcamp. We are all waiting for when you enshittify like everyone else but you’ve held it at bay so far.

They do have a point sadly. I absolutely cant convince any of my friends to get the fuck off of fb messenger and x and Instagram, even though its SO EASY to do so and find better alternatives. They sure as shit would never ever buy something like this.

I do kind of want one. But in my smaller city there’s no way id find another person with one.

Ugh. Well they got all my shit already so no point changing now. I use my friends dropbox and hes a photographer and videographer for a living. Ironic that the very service hes paying for is going to scrape his data and replace him.

Most people ive ran into have no idea how to even access a file if its not in a Google drive or dropbox so good luck getting them to understand anything else. My friends complain non stop that I dont use corporate services for every single thing like they do 🙄

Well, I was using virtual box as ive never used anything else, so maybe thats why. Or the mouse firmware updater was just bad.

How does nothing like this exist but open source?? I guess because everyone uses their stupid phone now, but i love having separate devices.

I wonder who at m$ is in charge of the “make windows fuck up all other OSs present” department. Probably makes 800k/yr.

How can you do this without bricking the controller? Have you ever tried updating its firmware this way? In my experience thats a big nono.

You dont want to use windows in a vm to talk to externally connected devices or update them…ask me how I know

Bricked my favorite mouse doing this firmware upgrade for it on linux with a win 10 vm. I was sad but after a few days amazingly, the mfg sent me a custom program to reset the mouse, and it was windows only, had to use a friends pc to do it.

And I did it using usb pass through. I would not trust it again.

Youre totally right. Spoiled brats deserve the enshittification they get because they are lazy and refuse to learn anything. And corporations LOVE that.

Worrying that forums will dissappear too.

The only answer you’ll get are SKUM sponsored bullshit with embedded ads.

Remember before they destroyed the internet? Good times.

The idiots are convinced they’ll “be one of them someday”

Cue the “Fry, you arent rich!” Scene. Its very very real.

I have a friend that literally blames all problems in America on “The Poors” (his words) and when I try to tell him he IS the poors and is nowhere near rich, he doesn’t listen. Doesn’t believe workers should own the means of production because “when he owns HIS business, he wants to keep his money HE earned”

Brainwashed idiocy.

He rents, has a 20 year old car, is a bartender, and shops at Walmart exclusively. Also loves Grok.

America is doomed.

My daily job is win+e alt+d ctrl+v lol. People look at me weird when I rapid fire them and get to a server location before they even right click copied the filepath.

And im not in IT or anything, always wanted to be though! Most People just dont have computer curiosity like us.

While I agree we dont need or want to make linux like windows, im VERY fast on mint cinnamon because all the key combos and the gui make sense to me and it works.

I tried cachyos with xfce and I was horribly slow and clunky, had to use the mouse for everything vs mint I already knew all the key commands.

True

Without money theyd be crazies ranting in the streets thay everyone ignores.

Much like Drumpf should be a drooling ravist idiot grandpa at Thanksgiving that everyone hates, not a president.

Yeahh they do. 90% of kids with a ps5 wanna play bf6 and pubg etc type games. And if a normie even thinks of gamer they think of fortnite bf and cod.

You must not play most of the top 5 fps games then lol.

Literally everything a “normal” gamer plays is not supported on linux.

Gta, bf6, rainbow 6, cod, none of these run because the game studios hate giving linix users anything and its not worth their time.

Most of them are made by horrible companies we shouldn’t be supporting anyways.

How long before windows is literally an edge browser with permanent copilot ?

I give it a year.
