We’re in a generation of complacency. Nobody cares and our to busy consuming to care.

What about Ronald Reagan?

Wow you should run as governor. I should you give you a suggestion between Florida or Texas.

I would say Apple isn't as severe as something like Meta or "X" but the amount of influence apple has over the industry is insane. There's a reason why so many laptops are losing ports "because the MacBook has it" or why smartphones are stagnating and when they "innovate" they're just removing more features like the SD card reader all simply because "Apple did it". Hell, Windows has been trying to be like Mac OS for years from its flat minimal design to its oversimplification of its design to trying to make their own "eco system". Apple's influence can even extend beyond tech with their flat minimalist, corporate design being applied to every industry and building and design ever to be conceived in 2023. Everyone is trying to be Apple from Tech companies to fast food joints. Truly if we measure their influence and the power they carry moving entire industries to do various things. They are one of the most powerful company in silicon valley. Everything we hate about modern tech and how restrictive it is can be sourced all the way back to Apple.

Fair enough. I respect the response. I've just been seeing some of the same threads throughout my time on lemmy and its essientially the same responses generally from brave users (which is their choice). Its not fully a waste but at this point the mods should just pin this thread.

Then like I said, you can ask the mods to pin this if its so essiential to post this every week and to see the same discussion points as well. Keep it to one megathread or this becomes an excuse to karma farm.

I see this exact thread every week now and it's between the same people:

"Oh ok i stopped using it" to "Naw i'll keep using brave"

At this point can we stop this? Brave is trash but people are either too stubborn or just don't care anymore (which is ironic). Either mods just pin this thread and treat this as a "brave is trash" megathread or I don't know.

Wouldn't it happen by now considering how much MSFT/corporate influence Linux already has?

Both designs really need to make a comeback as an option

neat. Though now i wish my ipod supported opus (besides rockbox) but thats much nicer to know!

whats the difference between opus and 320 mp3?

Based weezer :)

“Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

Yes my satellite that is actively being used in a war should be designed only for Netflix and chill.

I mean really if you don’t like your current DE, you can always just switch within your own distro. For example, you can switch from cinnamon to gnome for mint.

Damn that was a lucky find!!!

I love collecting CDs especially from thrift stores. The hunt for some rare or obscure albums or even some of my favorites is always thrilling.

Hoping that works out!

Thanks actually. I always forget that honestly
