I am wondering, what is enjoyable about Windows/Microsoft?
The slow & buggy UI?
The blue screens due to crappy drivers or bc they fucked something up?
The way they erase any customisability, essentially forcing their users to adapt their vision of how a computer should be operated?
How they are coming up with great ideas such as taking system snapshots and having AI analyze them?
The updates that randomly decide to install and then take an eternity with the end user not being able to use their PC whilst an update is taking place?
The 10.000 different ways of updating software?
How they are blatantly ripping off features whilst marketing them as their own ideas?
The way they are turning it more and more into an advertising platform for their own products?
The $139.00 license fee for everything I just mentioned?
Like, the only enjoyable thing I can think of is software availability but thanks to WINE / Proton this advantage is becoming less and less relevant.
Flatpak was designed to be decentralised, Flathub is just the main repository offering flatpaks and yes, probably 99% of all Flatpak applications are downloaded via the main repo but it is technically possible to just launch your own if you are unhappy with the main repo. The Flatpak team literally has this info page for hosting a repository
I for example, am taking AAGL from their own flatpak repo because they are not offering their launcher via the main one (even tho they also tell you to link the main repo - I guess for dependency reasons - but theoretically you could open your own repo and throw all dependency related packages in there or am I getting something wrong here)
How do you think who is going to win big in the elections? - Sadly, probably the conservatives and far right due to overemotionalization & polarization thanks to social media and baity articles who create negative emotions to spark any sort of interaction and publicity for the single cause of profit.
(Interviewer clearly didn't expect nor like that answer) So the FPÖ (alt right) seems to be on their way to dominate this year, what do you think about that? - Well the FPÖ wants to present itself as party for the plebs when they're effectively helping the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer with their neoliberal policies and even worse they're destroying decades of work of unions & social democratic policies. And the millionaires who are profiting the most are those who have large shares in tabloid newspapers convincing the masses to vote for what essentially harms them and suits the millionaires.
AAAND DAMN they didn't like that answer (because they are one of the media bootlicking the FPÖ because their owners like that)...
And guess what... Seems they cut me out... And I thought they were "truly objective, truly critical and truly free"
