Yup, same here. Using “All” is a shit show, and I never subbed to anything startrek related.

English only with media is a bit over 100GB, at least the kiwix package is

It’s good that you stay home when sick, but just FYI, you can have covid without realizing it. Roughly 1 in 5 cases never get symptoms but are still contagious. That’s one of the reasons lockdowns were so effective. We couldn’t just rely on people staying away when they are sick because they might have it without the sickness. Fuck covid

I guess that is where our opinions differ. I find USB A doesn’t work fine, and is a pain in the ass that I only use because I have to.

If you actually look at those results when searching USB C <thing> you will see that they are nearly all either cheap no name products or come with a dongle (the thing I want to avoid). But back to the customers will change naturally thing, that wont happen until they have the choice. I could see your argument making sense if all manufacturers decided to make every product in both styles for 5 years to see what everone wants to use, but that isn’t going to happen. People will choose devices for what they have, and what they have is nearly 0 USB C ports on everything.

IF 50% of mainstream brand peripherals and IF motherboard manufacturers actually had more than a single USB C port (if any) surrounded by half a dozen USB A ports, people might actually have a choice. Right now its buy USB A or go to dongle hell, which I very much dislike.

If customers really want USB-C, they’ll buy USB-C peripherals and USB-A will drop off naturally.

How? If there are basically no USB-C peripherals, how are people going to buy them to show their support? One side needs to start first so the other will get on board, otherwise people will just stick to USB-A because there is no other real option. Apple is trying, and they are usually the trendsetters in the tech space, but it doesn’t seem like the rest of the market is jumping on board like the usually do.

The people can’t decide if there isn’t anything to decide on.

The more its held onto on devices, the more things will just keep using it. If we had ditched USB A on new devices (desktop motherboards included) companies would start actually releasing USB C peripherals and other devices. Think mouse dongles, keyboards, speakers, etc.

I honestly wish every company would just stop using USB A. So many companies still including it are preventing device manufacturers from going all in on C.

Yeeeah, none of those are particularly hostile sounding to me. He just doesn’t like the platform and is stating so. Notice how he didn’t say something like “Anyone who likes BlueSky can fuck right off”. He shared his opinion on an inanimate webpage, thats all.

What about his comment is hostile?

As a Canadian, the idea of a garbage disposal in a sink has always been insane to me. It can be hard to believe that Americans just grind up stuff and send it down their sink drain.

I broke 1 mini USB on my Blue Yeti over a decade ago, but no port would have been able to survive that torque, lol. Other than that, it’s usually rock solid

I would imagine this also prevents canadian influencers from earning money on tiktok. Maybe Canada is trying to limit the control byte dance has over so many Canadians’ income, who knows

Canadian English is also tire. We have a good mix of both sides

I guess we do, because I have not seen any window management improvements at all when switching to linux.

Did you last try windows 20 years ago or something? Windows definitely has touchpad gestures and robust window management. Dont get me wrong though, I don’t like windows anymore either. Switched off it a year ago

Same here. Its just a much better experience through windows. I made a new system for my daily driver which runs linux and I only turn on my gaming desktop when i want to game. I stream it through steam remote play and it works great

If i remember right, it wasn’t just using brave, but including a referral id in brave searches. It wasn’t intended, and they fixed it, so all good with me.

Because it’s not downloading, which is the thing every one thinks is normal.

Not sure I get what you mean by this

I think we more just disagree with your points rather than miss them. We have never seen this term be scary for the non technically involved people in our lives, nor has the examples you provided to prove your point been considered scary to people we know.

Many times, people in this chain have effectively asked for proof of what you claim, but you just keep reiterating your feeling/opinion.

Now, it’s possible that everyone here just associates with people who aren’t afraid of technology enough to run across it, but that’s all we have to work with until provided evidence.
