Nah. Hate Musk, deleted Twitter when I heard he was potentially buying it, but there’s really no original logos left.

I can’t remember the name, but there’s a HUGE book of logos, which shows the original date that logo was made, and you can pretty much find every single brand logo in that book. Every single brand is basically an unintentional copy of a logo that has already existed in 1800-1900s.

There is also a clear difference in the logos above. Really, how many different ways can you do an X?

My website uses webp because my images go from 5MB down to 100KB with no quality loss.

My wallet and slow internet users thank me. Plus my website isn’t meant for people to save images. Not sure why you’d be saving images of my products.

Too scary lol. I got it with my index and never played. Really wish valve included a less scary switch in the settings, because it’s one of the best made VR games.

Just can’t do it. Not built for it.

Ya, Play Pass is like Apple arcade. It has also been on the play store for years now.

Just seems weird it took so long to come to Apple arcade, when it was on both the play store and play pass for a long time.

Why did it take so long? Stardew Valley has been on Play Pass for years now. Seems weird.

Ya, you should.

Firefox does this by default. So that.

Literally reads a chain of infuriating events for all to see why one might be angry. “Didn’t happen to meh”.

So why are they angry? What is happening to them, that isn’t happening to me? Are they unable to request refunds? are they unable to buy Microsoft games outside of the Microsoft store? are they unable to buy the DRM free games from Steam?

They are pulling shit from years ago, despite me proving that Microsoft not only makes it easy to cancel, but they do refunds for unused days.

They hate Microsoft and Valve for not being able to “own your games”, despite me showing that steam has plenty of DRM-free games, which doesn’t require Steam or any authentication to play.

They are bringing up the past, despite Microsoft currently showing that they are dedicated to gaming, and providing a really good experience, as well as publishing their games on Steam instead of only their own store.

Why so angry? Why not look at the full picture, and judge based on current events? Microsoft may turn evil, and being skeptical is fine, but at what point are you beyond being skeptical?

Also, not sure why you gotta call me names. Have I called anyone else names this entire time? Can we just have a fucking discussion instead of turning into Reddit 2.0 with trolling and name calling? Jesus Christ.

I tried posting this comment already but it didn’t go through? But I literally got a partial refund from Microsoft for cancelling my subscription. They refunded me for the unused days.

Not sure why you’re so angry at Microsoft.

I’m sorry, but blaming him for breaking his os because he didn’t check for updates first is ridiculous. The difference is that in Windows, the entire os wouldn’t break if you decided to install steam first. If it did, you would blame Microsoft. Same with MacOS.

It’s not his fault. It was a bug in the os, which is the fault of the pop_os! developers. You also can’t blame him if the command he used was wrong, because Linux users love giving terminal commands to people without explanation and refusal to explain how it could also be done via the UI if preferred.

You know what the better reaction would be? To criticise the developers for allowing a bug like that to make it into production. To explain to the user that it happened to that it’s not their fault, it was a rare bug, and was super unfortunate. Offer them an explanation, maybe suggest other distros that are more polished, and help them with their Linux journey.

Blaming them for something that wasn’t their fault isn’t welcoming, isn’t going to want to make them want to stay, and will make sure they think twice before trying again.

Not sure why you’re upset that he didn’t want to use Fedora? That’s the beauty of Linux, there are plenty of distros. That’s what sets Linux apart. Maybe you don’t want to use Ubuntu because of it’s layout, or a different distro because it’s red and you like green. No matter the reason, who cares? Guess what? I’ve had more issues with Fedora than any other distro I’ve ever used. If you asked me, I’d say Linux Mint is the best ootb experience, and I’m sure someone else will tell me that Linux Mint fucked their wife and killed their cat and that I’m a stupid racist for thinking that.

Edit: also want to make it clear that windows and MacOS both have their own issues, some of which are really bad. No OS is perfect, and I think we should stop being weirdly defensive over a damn operating system. If one of them was leagues better, multiple OSes wouldn’t exist.

Okay. I don’t see the need to be a negative Nancy and be upset at everyone all because the company has the potential to screw you over. Microsoft nor Valve are being bad guys right now. They are doing wonders for PC gaming, and as a gamer, I’m really excited.

I’ll change my thoughts and opinions as needed, but for now, I’ll enjoy the small victories in life.

Also you do realize that steam allows developers to upload DRM free games to steam, right? Where you can copy the .exe and play the game without ever installing steam? Not sure why you’re upset over steam or think they are a required DRM.

I know. I didn’t say they were. That’s why I said we can be skeptical, but there’s no reason to be so upset screaming fuck Microsoft when they are currently being really great when it comes to gaming.

The same could be said about steam, by the way. At any moment Gabe can fuck us over, or can die and we get fucked, but until we see that happen, I feel like we all trust steam.

You can be skeptical over Microsoft, especially because of their past, but their new manager in charge of their gaming division is doing really well. In fact, I’d say investing in Microsoft for gaming right now is a better deal, considering it’s a cheaper monthly fee. My steam account has a bit over 10,000 dollars of games in it that Gabe can take back at any time. That’s 666 months (55.5 years) of an Xbox game pass subscription in Canada. It’s more risky for me to continue buying on steam. I won’t, as I love steam as a platform, but it still is more risky.

I know what you’re saying, and it’s definitely possible this will backfire on us, but currently Microsoft has been really dedicated to PC gaming and have been really good to PC gamers.

All games are released on game pass day 1, which means you can play all of their new games for cheap vs having to pay $100 CAD+ for them. They are also releasing their games on steam, which means you don’t even have to use their platform. They are also integrating other companies into game pass, so you can play EA Games and Ubisoft games if you have a game pass subscription. I played the crap out of battlefield 2042 through my game pass subscription.

They also have the ability to play Xbox only games on PC, which is super awesome. It requires the next tier up, and then you can straight up play Xbox games on your PC. I was playing Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. It launches the game in some kind of cloud gaming emulator thing.

So idk. I don’t really agree with your Fuck Microsoft attitude, because they are currently being really incredible for the PC gaming market. I say we can be skeptical about the future, but I don’t really see much to hate on right now.

Edit: Microsoft also doesn’t require a subscription. Like I said, you can buy their games on steam, or you can buy them from the Microsoft store. A subscription is optional, and it’s nice for people who want to pay $15 CAD per month and play a crap ton of different games instead of paying out right for 1 game.

One of the Linux challenge videos. Either part 1 or 2.

The Linux community loves hating on Linus for this, but honestly, it was a bug that popos has now fixed, and the video genuinely shows how difficult Linux can be for the average user.

I’ve been telling people for over a year to not use brave after they did that crypto referral injection thing lol

I have their legacy “professional” plan, and the reason it’s so expensive is because back then, you could pay to add additional custom domains.

I believe they now removed that feature? I cannot find it anywhere.

Basically I have a bunch of custom domains for personal stuff, work stuff, small home business stuff, etc, and I use ProtonMail to consolidate it all into one inbox.

So while ProtonMail has a bunch of pros, and you’ll be able to find them easily, I think it could be more beneficial to tell you about what I would consider cons.

Like what’s happening now, they always roll out features to their top tier plans first, which can definitely suck. They absolutely don’t care about how much people pay them, they care about the random plan badge associated with the account instead. When they finally added the ability to search for your emails, they rolled it out to visionary members first. Quite insane to have something so basic be locked behind a top tier membership for a limited time.

In my couple years being with them, they’ve had a few times where their services crapped the bed for multiple days straight. If I remember correctly, last year their mail and calendar services went down on a Monday and took until Wednesday for them to be fully restored. Absolutely destroyed productivity when you are unable to message your clients or check your calendar.

Proton also makes big claims and almost never meets them. They promised a redesign of the Android app for a couple years, and when it finally came, they were over 1 year past their already extended date. The same thing is happening with the new rewrite of the Android app that is supposed to support basic mail features like email threads.

Overall I like their services. The web UI is clean and has super awesome features like keyboard shortcuts to easily manage your email. Their services haven’t went down at all, or at least not significantly to my knowledge in 2023 yet, which is good. If you’re ignorant, and you don’t keep up to date about their new features or planned features, you’ll be happy. You really only start to get frustrated when you’re waiting for a basic feature and hear it’s limited to a higher tier at the moment.

You also have to be okay using their mobile app, as third party mobile email clients don’t work. On desktop a few different ones will work, like Thunderbird, but only if you use proton bridge with it.

The Windows app is first coming to Proton Lifetime accounts and will be made available to Visionary users later. Beta invites will be sent out at a later stage.

I hate their way of managing so much.

I pay them nearly $150 per month, but I don’t have lifetime or visionary so I’m just screwed and treated like scum.

How about roll it out to everyone that pays at the same time? I understand maybe holding back on free users, but why screw over your paying users? So ridiculous. I don’t know of any other company that does this.

Yes. Most of the world uses them. Let’s rise up against the haters and downvote them instead! 😈

Hopefully he does. I want to host my own instance because I hate how every time I join an instance, they decide to block other instances I enjoy. I am sick of hopping around!

Plex has been crap for at least 5 years now. Switched to Emby a few years ago and couldn’t be happier.

Honestly have no idea why Plex still has such a huge fanbase. It’s so commercialized and gross.
