We don’t want to work to make someone else rich. That doesn’t mean we don’t want to work. I’m commenting right now using an OS that’s developed by thousands who worked on it for free.
Make the work meaningful and fulfilling, and you most likely wont even have to pay someone to do it.
For example, I love to tinker with and repair electronics. I’d probably be more than happy to diagnose a broken Xbox or TV for you once in a while, because I love doing it.
I didn’t know people keep archives. I just steal shit off the internet as needed.
I’m not the person you commented to but just this month I switched to KDE neon, because I believe I was having issues with some games and Mint’s Cinammon WM with constant crashes and freezes. So far everything on Neon has been running great. I like having a bleeding edge GUI on a rock solid, widely compatible base. Neon is basically Ubuntu but tweaked and molded by the KDE people to run KDE to its fullest potential.
This would be funny to my redneck-ass boomer dad. I’m not sure you’ll get many laughs out of this in here.
Imagine having to have a different web browser for every website you visited
I don’t have to imagine it, I’m old enough to have lived through it. Websites used to say stuff like “best viewed with Netscape Navigator” or “Best with at least 800x600 resolution” because web elements back then were fixed in place and didn’t resize with the browser window or resolution. It was…a different time. Wild west shit.
“Electronic music is too repetitive.”
“Naww man, just listen to this!”
Chiptunes music plays as keygen opens with three more command prompt windows.
Calling people “lemmings” might seem a bit derogatory though. We left all the lemmings behind on Reddit, remember?
I got a family that likes to leave the damn light switches all on at night, I’m no longer going around and shutting them all off when everyone is in bed. Also, they are tied to my alarm, when I disarm the alarm or it goes off, they all come on.
But I’m doing all this through Home Assistant, a local open source automation server, not any of this cloud bullshit.
Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.
