Is "good bot" a thing on Lemmy?

I didn't mean that King had read the stand, just that he would be wrong for that part. I can't think of one he read that he wasn't a good choice for, except maybe Desperation.

It isn't, though. Made that way, I mean. I update maybe weekly and restart my system when I do. That's it. I seldom get notification that I need to update unless I open the Gnome Software app, and unless it's a security update, it's not imperative to do it just because it's there. And even then, it doesn't always require a restart.

I've been using Fedora off and on (mostly on) for the better part of a decade, and I've never run into what you're describing. So no. It isn't "made that way." I imagine if it were, it would be a hell of a lot less popular.

It doesn't seem like nothing at all! Great job and welcome to the fam!

Wow this takes me back to the first time I set up a FreeBSD desktop. That sense of accomplishment, I mean, wow. I haven't felt that in a while.

Maybe I'll build a new system with Funtoo… or I could go real crazy and use NetBSD…

Whether they're online or not, if they're preloaded with crapware they're preloaded with crapware, and they're still technically "smart". If you're trying to avoid dealing with those smart UIs, then they're still a problem.

True. Also, folks with cancer tend to lose weight, so cancer needs to be discussed as a practical weight loss solution.

/s, for anyone who can't tell I'm being an asshole.

This is kinda funny to me because I hadn't realized how terrible the Windows workflow was for me until Gnome 3 came out.

Ever since, while I'll use extensions for stuff like alphabetical app grid and Caffeine, I never do anything that changes the Gnome workflow. It's not for everyone, but it absolutely is for me.

Yes, that was the gist of their point I think. The thinking being that choosing the lesser evil is still choosing evil. My point was that if evil is going to win no matter what you do, isn't it better to pick which evil you're going to have to deal with?

Ugh. I'm not pro establishment. People who are pro establishment think it works. People who are pro establishment have hope

Where the fuck did you get that out of what I wrote? Do I sound hopeful? Or like I think the system in any way works?

Or is that just your canned response when someone disagrees with you and you can't think of a decent comeback?

Is that what you kids call a "cope"? It sounds like a "cope". My generation just calls it "What the fuck are you even talking about?"

This represents me as well, except the green line hasn't gone up in like 7 years.

Fedora's XFCE spin if you're happy with your current desktop environment. If you want to try a different Desktop, try the standard Workstation version, or the KDE spin if you're really into customization. Stable, up to date, and easy to maintain

Oh I hate myself for doing this but…
