i think xfce people in general don’t fuck around with all that distro gobshitery. it’s fast, works and isn’t fancy.
gnome and kde people more likely to want to show off all the bullshit effects they’re wasting all that ram on.
You wanna know what my ram has in it . . . data, glorious data.
Albeit being inefficiently monged into terrible statistical models by some shitty code i wrote.

they need to give you a 2fa device.
yeah, or rent controls should be in place
That’s what the win XP search dog was for.
They’d send it out hunting for frogs so that they can boil them all.
Bill Gates first programme was a reverse frogger game, he’d get to drive the cars and score get points for squishing frogs.
I think it was called Grand Theft Amphibian or something. The dude just really hates frogs.
Develop own software or support indepndent sw development however you can.
If you really need something, think about your personal dependencies and try to build some resilience / backups , one way or another.
Whatever your craft, a pathway towards ownership and control of tools and maintenance should be a traditional part of mastering the craft.
So that you can eventually do things like extend the toolset, or adapt tools to niche circumstances and advance things along.
If you don’t have that pathway, then you might end up trapped as an apprentice or journeyperson and will continue to be exploited by those who control the things you depend on.
If there’s no freedom and no way to develop competition in the supply chain, then you probably would benefit from - collective organisations such as trades-guilds, or professional associations or trade-unions to counter the power imbalance, and represent your needs - but they can also get captured/bribed so those probably need a bit of effective democracy / transparency/accountability or something. I’m not going to suggest govt regulation, becasuse that’s super easy to capture and national-election democracy is a weak control, but you might get some progressive govts like some European ones that’d think about doing something suppoting foss projects, maybe.
It might not be easy, but you have to look for and support those types of features for the good of your industry.
Corps will eat their industry for a quick $, it’s the workers, tradespeople and masters of the craft and some small businesses who care about the long term. And maybe any enlightened customers if you’re lucky enough to have them.
As an example, for physical 3d cad, personally I don’t like freecad much it’s complex and not very intuitive; but it lets me do all the maths I want in python, with my own made up data structures / object model. So i’ll use and support freecad 100% over all the other more user friendly CAD that i’ve seen - it really is the freedom, and not being so dependant.
I’d forgotten about “dog destroyer for windows XP”
That’s how bad it used to be.

Yes, I can live without youtube I survived the 1980s and 1990s - I’m not saying my life is or was “meaningful” though - that’ll be discernable if the maggots enjoy their dinner whenever the time comes.
I also think there were at least a few generations of humans before that, some of whom may think they led at least slightly meaningful lives.
I don’t think youtube makes anyone’s life more or less “meaningful”, it’s just a way to pass the time - but that’s just my opinion on carbon-shuffling in general. If you accept peoples own objectives instead of mine, then youtube might help them learn stuff - but even then I’d look to measure the content of their consequent actions, much more than learning in abstract. They’ve still got to put their new knowledge together with skills , practice and the real world circumstances to before anyting “meaningful” happens - and that’s due as much to their hard work as much as to their teacher.
But I do prefer to watch a few people’s videos on there as entertainment, only a few of them post on that p2p thing “lbry” or whatever so i dont use that. I will continue to watch youtube videos given the choice, and not having somethign better to do, until those people move their videos to somewhere else.
I’ve recently been finding out that freetube client removes much of the front end unpleasantness.
Sorry, that was my lame joke about the simlar sound of the windows essential tool “regedit”.
My only surviving knowledge from when I used to be able to do things on windows was that it was always a bucket of shite until you “regedit” a bunch of things. These edits were arcane secrets known only to mystical internet guru’s like some bloke called “Fred Vorck” and impossible to figure out by logic, reason or even through mundane hard work. I assumed that’s what the lower panel in the OP is getting at.
But on reflection, I’d be sad if there’s not a forum on reddit called “regedit” will all the advice on what registry keys to fix - so unintentionally it might not be the worst advice - apart from the word “simple”.

Things like freetube seems to be basically a simple yt front-end.
I don’t know what happens if a significant amount of yt users used freetube. but that probably won’t happen.
I find it a lot more pleasant to use than yt.
windows is simple, all configs are keys accesible via reddit
I don’t do anything if it’s not shiny and made by apple
windows is a pain in my glass
I’d pick any random manatee over a human.
Why? Manatees seem nicer than humans, as far as I can tell.
I don’t know that much about manatees though, given a sniff of power maybe they’d turn into arseholes too; but I think I’d rather someone else had a turn than yet more humans.
It’s a gnarly spelling.
Don’t let it gnaw away at you too badly.
no.
Next year will be the year when people say “this will be the year of the linux rennaisance”
That said I guess there is Da Vinci Resolve available.
When is Wayleonardo coming to debian as standard?
