Let’s see how the 30% of nazis and / or uneducated idiots who voted for them will react.

Saving up debt for retirement is the way to go

Well, you are sort of validating my point pretty much with the content of your answer.

The issue is not willingness to tinker or such. It is time. People just don’t realize how much time this kind of tinkering eats. Which is not fun but extremely frustrating when all you want to do is to use your wee bit of free time for something relaxing and fun.

So no, I am not prepared to sacrifice my rare moments of mental recuperation on trying to figure out why something that should just work doesn’t work. Or doesn’t work in the needed way.

Until Linux isn’t utterly install and it works right away intuitively it will NEVER reach the masses.

I’m in my 40s and yea, it’s real. I have these moments of clarity occasionally, where I realize I’ve been in brain fog so long.

I think it is the stress overwhelming my ability to think. Autopilot fog.

Most likely many of us are in the midst of a depression, many without knowing it.

The fediverse is very linux oriented I see again and again.

Sadly most Linux users are so deep into it that they don’t understand the pain of transition from something known to something that you have to invest significant time into to get running as you want it to.

And whenever people say this, several people post Linux versions that are supposedly super easy to set up and very similar to windows… Which shows that they are no longer able to see the relevant differences.

I find it annoying. Essentially as someone who has tried to switch to linux on my own terms(!) and that’s not possible without investing more time than a family dad with job is prepared to invest.

I mean just look at the posts in here. It like reading posts from religious people who would love to go from door to door to “spread the word.”

Rather they grabbed a fancy reason to increase prices because of greed.

The few big ram production companies likely had a chat and decided: “Hey, more money? Yea! More money! We like more money!”

It will still be record sales for GTA6, I bet on it.

People say they care and show outrage… And then pay up anyway

Uhm… Gross oversimplification.

The complexities of decision-making and reasoning seem to be utterly lost in your view. Politicians are often extremely incompetent and the decisions are still difficult and will never make everyone happy, even if they were competent.

And stuff like: “the all don’t want taxes” is just plainly stupid as a statement. In a stable society taxes are simply a way of financing society and community. They are not optional unless you afe asking for anarchy which would be even worse than the shit we have now.
