Yeah, fair. Where fiber can be run fiber should be run.

Just scarred from all the times where we spend x billion to expand fiber, it doesn’t happen, somehow nobody gets held accountable.

I mean damn, at least Starlink is providing a service

I’ve been using Projectivy. It’s really simple and great!

Not like these ones. I’m almost tired of having this discussion y’all are blinded by hatred.

First full flow staged combustion engine, dramatically lower launch prices than competitors (cheaper for the government and has enabled more interesting things to go to space), dramatically more access (SpaceX flies multiple times a week!), booster recovery & rocket reuse.

And again I know everyone really is blinded by their seething rage but starship is going to change the whole landscape again.

You can hate the man as much as you want, I’m not saying I don’t. But you discredit yourself by not knowing what SpaceX is actually doing.

I mean, we still wouldn’t have US access to space without SpaceX (Boeing fiasco…).

SpaceX has developed laundry list of new technology to enable Starlink and other endeavors. It’s silly to discount that as worthless.

even less for Starlink

it’s such a game changer when you’re actually using it. night and day, completely different experience.

also, GEO is in many regards more at risk for Kessler syndrome because stuff up there doesn’t deorbit

I don’t think you’ve ever used Starlink if you think clouds make it fail.

…you do realize it started in Seattle, right?

you can change the home screen. I did that on my android tv. android tv kinda rocks actually

probably not a realistic take, even if I agree with it.

Whatsapp is so popular that if you’re outside of the US the expectation is not weird

I love Gnome. People love to hate it, but it’s workflow is SO good.

I think people just get annoyed that they can’t force it to be whatever they want it to be. Which is fine, that’s why other options exist!

But if you really go to the content-focused, workspace + keyboard shortcut flow Gnome is incredibly efficient, consistent, and stable.

Unpopular opinion #2: I love libadwaita and GTK4. Basically, I enjoy when devs are opinionated about things and build what they want to see in the world.

The adaptive part of libadwaita is really exciting for different form factors!

I’m sorry, this is naive.

You may have voted for a pedophile and you just don’t know it yet.

People’s true colors are not always so readily apparent

that’s a very black and white view of things but real life isn’t so pretty.

some people are intentionally misled or just not informed enough.

you alienate people by assuming they’re racist when they’re often not. I mean, it’s a choice. but it’s not gonna win you an election and I don’t think it’ll move the US forward.

I really think it isn’t fair to generalize all rednecks as racist. I grew up in Kentucky and that definitely isn’t how it is.

There’s 3 types of rednecks:

• Not racist
• Ignorant but welcoming (they may say something questionable, but only because they don’t know better and will apologize)
• Racist.

I think most I’ve met have been #1 or #2. If you ostracize a large portion of the population, of course they aren’t going to be on your side

you’re losing a lot of nuances here, just want to add for other readers.

there was and are good reasons for why code wasn’t accepted

I liked it

MDM on MacOS still kinda sucks compared to Linux or Windows. I mean, it’s fine. But they genuinely have work to do there

this MacBook is going to have 10x the battery life of your used laptop, and weigh less.

plus, it’s brand new so it has a warranty and doesn’t require people to spend time searching for a good deal.

this is an excellent product launch at a good price and it is gonna sell like hotcakes

this has been well covered by now. just cause it works in product x, doesn’t mean it was implemented correctly in product y

There were stability issues with the video out. People love to assume malice but most of the time there was actually good reasons

nice to have that sort of freedom, since the majority of companies use some Microsoft products
