I don't see any of those things reducing microplastics in the environment nor plastic being dumped in the rivers and ocean. The motivation behind recycling has very little to do with climate change.

Use Microsoft authenticator on your account, it won't stop people from trying to access your account but you'll stop getting these and it's generally safer than any kind of email based 2fa

They pioneered modern day planned obsolescence, they also popularised unrepairable electronics. They try to block or bastardise any right to repair bills. They force chip distributors to not sell chips they use so their products can't be repaired. They make building applications for Mac at scale a huge pain in the ass and extremely expensive, the solution I recently built wastes insane amounts of power because of the way Apple licenses their stuff. Overall it's a shitty company who fucks poor people in developing nations, fucks the environment and fucks it's customers. I don't care how well it may or may not work, fuck Apple.

Also OSX ui is shit and annoying.

The part of this that sucks is that one day this shit just stops. Went from skinny stick figure constantly being told to eat more and put on weight while eating SO much, then I hit 35 and all of a sudden I'm 15kg overweight and sporting a nice double chin.

I get that. I do the same often enough. I went from an outgoing fun person to an anxious shut in that is scared of people.

I hope you find that part of yourself that you lost.

The first blue LED I ever saw was on the dashboard of my mom's VW Golf. I always wanted one like that, but now they're everywhere!

Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes..

Based on the colour, it looks like us south Africans still spend tons of time on our phones.

I really want to do this one day.

You could replace Autodeak with Adobe in your post and it'd be exactly the same. These companies are pieces of shit.

I doubt I'll switch any time soon, I use Linux for work and have a dislike for how small issues turn into hours of troubleshooting, but anyway, not the point. I think something that deters a lot of people are the really vocal people who shove it down others throats and treat people who don't want to switch like idiots.

We all have our reasons, I'll keep using Win10 until it becomes too much of a security risk and then reevaluate my options. For now I enjoy having shit that just works, for example, I use Cura, it hasn't had a working Linux release in years, there's a lot of deterrents for the layperson or those who have to troubleshoot and struggle to get shit working for a job and couldn't be arsed to do it in their personal time.

Ah, also, some things I see in these comments I don't really deal with because I use enterprise edition. MS I believe is smart enough to not fuck with their enterprise customers as that's where their profits are, so I guess my experience is slightly different (I was also an MS SysEng for ~12 years)

I'm constantly "coming out", every time someone finds out I'm a lesbian. The whole idea is a bit dumb.

I work in tech and it's honestly exhausting trying to keep up. I already feel this way tbh, it's a non stop procession into the future.
