I remember owning an mp3 player in 1999.

As a mod, this is all I ever did on the platform. Thanks for the appreciation!

Ironic how your comment is downvoted as well. It’s funny to me to observe through platforms like this that most humans are thoughtless pack animals and will just do whatever all the other humans are doing and how discourse goes against our nature. There was a study on Reddit some years ago that found that generally speaking, the first vote determines whether a comment will get up- or downvoted.

I love this term! It’s been added to my active lexicon!

I know we’re all eager to rag on Windows, but can we not act as though Ubuntu is a flawless replacement?

My tech-savvy mother and software engineering spouse have both tried switching to Ubuntu but ultimately switched to Windows and ChromeOS because of the constant errors and unreliability of Ubuntu. Everything from ambiguous “problem detected” messages at startup to terrible video performance and a lack of basic functionality out of the box like DPI settings per display or clipboard history. Even the most basic interaction with display settings cause Ubuntu to go haywire.

I’m well aware that Ubuntu can be customized, but I wish I could say it’s designed for daily use by the same demographic as Windows or Mac. Unfortunately, it’s really not.
