This is disappointing to see - especially since I like a few of their products.

I’m not sure how it is in London, but there’s a strong government push to get people to go back to office (the city). Since politics is every politicians side hustle, and a lot of them own commercial real estate that’s been tanking post pandemic, I feel like they are forcing companies to bring people back to re-inflate the real estate value.

Since companies can’t outright say it’s the government, they have to come up with excuses.

The worst part is I don’t know what’s worse: if I’m wrong or if I’m right :(

I’ve seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They’re Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I’ve had more success here.

Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

EDIT: If you’re hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you’ll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

photons traveling at the speed of light too! that’s quite dangerous

This was inevitable. Their business model required cutting necessary expenses to drive their prices below taxis, but that’s not sustainable.

Hopefully this encourages the use of biking, public transportation, or at the very least, transportation services that provide better employee benefits.

Uber needs to remember that society functioned just fine before them. It can survive just fine without them.

I’d recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.

If Gartner comes out with a decent AI model, you could replace over half of your CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, etc. Most of them lack any real leadership qualities and simply parrot what they’re told/what they’ve read. They’re their through nepotism.

Also, most of them use AI as a crutch, so that’s all they know. Meanwhile, the rest of us use it as a tool (what it’s meant to be).

I agree. I had to explain to a younger family member today that when I say “open notepad”, I meant the application that’s been on every Windows version since they were born, not to Google “notepad”

Gave me a crisis that people know so little of what would have been considered basic computer usage a while back.

Google owns YouTube

Same here. I knew there was a reason this shirt called to me this morning

The headline sounded good but the article lists a lot of negatives too. They’re removing discounts for veterans/first responders, they recently laid off 10% of staff, and their price now matches Amazon and Apple. So don’t mistake this for good intention; this is just a business’ survival instincts taking over.

same here. or at least i finally recognized their potential. but it’s not just the performance, it’s the power efficiency too!

While the shell is cool, I’m not a fan of orange. I’ll probably buy a clear back shell

I was able to order a regular one. I didn’t feel like paying an extra 30usd for the LE version
