Keeping it in your bedroom has advantages, especially if you’re prone to forgetting because you see it right in front of you before you go to bed. It also dries faster (less bacteria growth) and you never have to clear it out to clean your bathroom sink (obviously a non-issue if you have a cabinet).

But uh, I got you

We’re talking about things that take ms to decide and act upon. I mean if you prefer it or you’re used to it that’s fine but for many people I’d argue the cost of change in either direction is higher than the aggregate savings in time.

There is 5+ more years to it than that

Their auth is better than the tool itself (last time I evaluated options which was maybe a year ago)

Except the person who wrote that, regardless of the actual issues with FUTO, cannot be trusted and is an unreliable source.

I really would encourage people to not treat that guy as a real source, but use it as a starting point for evaluating his sources, such as they are, on their own merits.

Having windows on top of each other might be useless but it also doesn’t hurt anything, and KDE already has the ability to snap windows into different positions. So this description doesn’t really capture the problem you’re solving.

My os does not do that

I don’t consider “wanting a secure app to be installed through first party means” to be particularly unusual. I know in Linux it’s standard to just install random stuff from the internet with root. I’ve obviously done that myself, but for secure stuff I want first party. Making a flatpak wouldn’t be hard (they probably just need to review someone else’s work – it’s like an intern project)

If you care to trust random strangers with your secure messenger that’s a choice you can make (admittedly the desktop isn’t particularly secure to begin with but even more reason to use the actual org’s build imo). I’m sure christian heusel is very reputable.

You added it in the subthread to my question and now you appear to be trying to blame me, in your head, for your error. Now that’s interesting.

The signal org produces a debian-compatible package and an apt server. I suppose there are hoops to jump through to make that work reliably on other distros but by that point my interest in using Linux was dwindling. (I actually moved for the performance benefits which didn’t materialize I think due to linux’ piss poor memory handling – I have a pretty low end laptop with only 16 gb of ram. the above we’re all just issues along the way).

I mean your point may have been windows sucks ass but I’m aware of where I am and that’s a completely uninteresting claim here. Why not rant about water being wet – it’s just as unique or interesting as your take on windows.

What I specifically asked about is underhanded backstabs, because that’s a unique and interesting claim I haven’t read 464335735 times before on lemmy.

Hey some of these actually are underhanded backstabs. You get a good star for understanding the assignment! 🌟

Yes, I find Linux terribly unusable on my laptop, way too many driver issues, hard to get into a secure state, and I miss apps like signal (no official build) mpc-hc (the replacements are all trash) and a functional version of thunderbird (lol at the tray icon third party implementation that just doesn’t work). Etc, etc. I don’t have a ton of unique needs but I do want theto work

^and this is of course with KDE, gnome is all that but with just a trash user interface. How many gestures do I need to use to make my computer treat me like an adult ffs.

It’s still of course on my server (an old laptop which ironically can’t be used as a laptop because at some point after some random update the login service broke and won’t accept input from the keyboard lol) and other headless devices I don’t have to actually use, thank god.

I uh…don’t have any of those experiences personally but that isn’t really the point. I asked for underhanded backstabs.

So, to really be sure i get it: adding two search bars is an underhanded backstab?

Now I see why I didn’t get it, the definition being used is literally insane.

Can you enumerate these underhanded backstabs? What a colorful claim.

? Which player?

But the mobile market is filled in now and android is the windows of mobile

This isnt a magical new market.
