Don’t know whether you mean that as a joke, but I can tell you it is very real thing world wide still.
I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

Wait what? What happens in jan 2024?
Edit: ah, unity’s new install based pricing.
I know that long time ago this was one of the things that freaked me out. I went into google account privacy settings and there is a lot of info about you. It really creeps you out when you see info from years ago.
Yup. I had never heard of the fediverse and so glad I got introduced to it with the added benefit of many others doing so as well (so there is content and activity here).
Can vouch for this method, I did something similar and just updated my email on services in order of my entries in password manager.
That’s a bummer… Well my name is there, as useless as it may be.
Signed. Although I wanted to ask if it has any value if it was signed by someone from outside of France/not French?
I am sorry to do this to you, but I have minimum of 30 tabs open at all times. Send help.
Long time ago I heard/read somewhere that true happiness/happy life/being in general happy at all times is not possible and people who are not in a great place get frustrated by never achieving this and seeing that it feels like everyone else has something they don’t.
What true happiness often seems to be (for most happy people) is actually being content
Happiness comes from being content with your life, not constant feeling of joy. When you are content with your life and situation, you’ll enjoy your life more. You’ll be “happy” with your life. And if you are content with your life you suddenly enjoy small things that add up to it.
I’m probably not explaining this very well, but hope you get something out of this comment!
Carighan’s answer to you sums it up why I unsubbed, not due to revenge (me unsubbing isn’t going to hurt them anyway). The comment about how Linus is now is due to how they handled Billet Labs and his answer to all that.
You summed it up pretty nicely why I unsubbed. The part “can’t believe what Linus has become” is mostly about how they handled Billet Labs.
Haven’t been watching LTT (or GN) for a couple of years, but this made me go to LTT’s channel and unsub. Can’t believe what Linus has become. Love the thorough look into all this from Steve.
I feel so hopeless, so pissed, all these news and how these corporations are destroying open web. I really had hope with new generations being more tech savvy and more online would push for openness of web, instead I’ve come to realize that new generations are really into apps and not going beyond that, not interested in deeper look into software and tech - as long as the gadget works and no matter any subscription cost or microtransactions or surveillance.
I try to be hopeful, but damn it is hard to stay optimistic. I’ve been trying little by little to push friends and family in a nice way into using Firefox, alternatives to big corporate software and so on, but I understand it takes too much effort for someone who is not really interested in these things. But I will be advocate of open web forever myself.
Edit: okay unfair to expect anything from new generations, and of course there are more tech savvy people than there probably use to be, but had hoped for a huge change in that demographic.
Yup, this + crackdown on password sharing made me cancel all of my 3 subscription plans and move back to pirating.
The reason for pirating for me isn’t about getting stuff for free, it is about paying a reasonable total sum for the amount I use these streaming platforms.
Same. I want to like working from home, but I get nothing done unless it’s brain dead excel updating or something.
Too many distractions and temptations to not work.
But I personally know people who are more productive and happy to work from home.
Same, I have tried DDG every once in a while but kept going back to google. Now google search doesn’t quite give me relevant results anymore and all the AI crap just takes all of their effort to work on search itself.
Been using DDG for a few weeks now for personal and work related stuff - quite happy with it.
