Does he even have a credible rival now? He was on his way out and HAMAS massacre happened. Thank your Islamic fascists.
If you use a rolling/half rolling release like Tumbleweed/Fedora, Nouveau is pretty usable and it progresses. That is unless you are a gamer or do AI stuff. It is Nvidia who had to provide an open source driver to their customers. I don't think Nvidia customers figure they are customers, not beggars as they don't demand it. That even includes governments and the military.
It will be there forever since it got stuck as a "offline" button. People go offline for many reasons and they look for a "plane" icon.
Since when did you see/use a diskette or a dot matrix printer? You use their icons.
I think a better option should exist without breaking the older one. I remember having nightmares to find draft button back on Reddit.
I run KDE 6 on Core 2 Duo with Nvidia 9400/nouveau.
Apple did something like that, I guess in the first version of fast user switching for OSX.
On the bottom of the page containing the cool rotation animation, they wrote "Because we can.'
I think I have read this suggestion at Reddit: "Make people who wants to use API as clients pay. " The app doesn't have to have API key, user pays a very reasonable money to access Reddit with their favourite application. Obviously it would come with sane for human browsing limits and AI leechers should pay millions.
Just like a plain old radio station where you can access from web page for free but you need to subscribe for better AAC, high quality streams and standard VLC support.
You know the very credible sounding theory that Musk bought Twitter to drown it. He used Middle Eastern funds etc. and those people owning these gigantic funds had nightmares because Twitter made it so easy to organise mass unrest. I want to believe this crazy sounding theory since other option would be someone having such a capital, know how and influence is that dumb.
What if this is just a plot to kill Reddit? While crypto bros polluted it a lot, it was very similar with Twitter. Freedom of speech, diversity. It may have bugged people.
What is the term for people who do buy things on your behalf and get their cut no matter what happens? Market manipulators have such connections.
Obviously these people providing the service are crooks and criminals so they can do anything. It isn't like you will call the police :-)
Say a negative thing about Brave or any of alt right hate campaigns against anyone who likes diversity. They will keep down voting whatever you post/comment and insane things happen. E.g. 2 comments supporting the same idea in the same post scoring +20 and -20. The best thing to do against is not to be there at the first place. People who think they are highly technical, nerd, bright or have elite taste shouldn't work for Spez, for free.
Larger market manipulators have every mean to buy the shares, bank accounts at USA etc. I guess they are targeting them to help IPO.
Really weird thing is, distros and flathub kinda pushes users to do system wide installs while most of the packages can work and get updated per user. They are pushing the thing which made Windows almost impossible to use without an administrator user. A dramatic example would be gnu guix, almost never requires root for updates or installs. It is also usable by normal users. From GNU... :-)
