By "the public," do you mean people who are seeing this in person, or people who are seeing it in news articles on the Internet?

Most of the public would be in the latter category, where the context is in clear display.

So you admit the lack of GUIs on Linux is due to a lack of developers?

You don't think it's easier for users to edit configuration files by hand?

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Absolutely!

How am I supposed to know where to find the file? Editing files by hand is also more error-prone compared to using a GUI. It's not for laypeople and they shouldn't have to adjust for it.

A big appeal of software development for me is making things easier for users even if it's harder for the developers to implement. That's good design, and great work.

The UX at the end should never be identical.

It's why laypeople shy away from Linux. They prefer GUIs because GUIs are easier for users.

Don't stoop to their level.

Oh thanks! I'm actually missing a few, although I'm not sure how they fell out.

Discord has gotten way too big for its own good and only focuses on getting people to subscribe to nitro.

There is no excuse for them, just plain greed and laziness.

Well, all the evidence points to a suicide so you don't really have a point here.

I don't hate somebody just because they're a CEO.

I hate all rich people though that aren't using their wealth to improve the lives of others as much as possible.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

This is how disconnected they are from the rest of us.

Truly living in their ivory towers.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Take solace in the fact that some people you'll never know are richer because of your suffering.

Yeah, I would download a car.

You'd have to be a special kind of stupid not to download a car and instead pay the thousands of dollars + dealing with scumbag dealerships.

Or just your average American.
