"HERE we go" has that. Although i dont think its open source, its probably miles better than google.

*windows users trying to navigate in three different styled setting layouts

what would an artificial delay do? Litteraly nothing. Also they can scan posts after they have been uploaded. And a scan shouldnt take even a second.

What your talking about is rate limiting. And pretty much every social media already does that. The issue with adding requirements like phone number etc, is that it also makes it more difficult and annoying for regular users. Besides, bot account owners litteraly have large amounts of fake valid mobile phone numbers they can use to "verify" their bot accounts. Then they also use change their ip addresses, so rate limiting can't be enforced. Instagram also has a massive bot issue, but its just an endless amount of bot accounts, not just one that is spamming all over the place.

Adding a fake 10 second delay would stop absolutely nothing and make the experience even worse for regular users.

There needs to be more laws and regulations. In this system, companies will use every legal way to make as much money as possible. This is especially true for public companies.

Linux mint still going fresh as every day.

joewilliams007 , 2 months ago

well kinda feel sorry for ya that your job requires excel or any of that office trash. Obviously doesnt work out for you then.

I run mint for some years on desktop and about a year on laptop now. I dont have any issues on either and it just feels good booting into them. I never once had the urge or need to go back to windows. And i think this is true for many people.

And the terminal is just sth thats at its core. If you dont want to learn it then a system like that isnt for you. In all reality, if one learns its, it is much easier than using three different windows setting interfaces with bloat popping up everywhere. Installing software in linux easy. In windows navigate through twenty ads or visit a poor store.

Or windows having a mix of consoles/powershells and more shit nowadays with different command namings. In Linux. Its just sinple terminal. Not to mention command prompt and its siblings taking four+ seconds to open on a new decent windows pc. Wtf?

imo windows bloat makes it unusable. The skill required to learn terminal basics is far smaller than learning all that windows shit.

Samsung just says:

Can't auto update Installed from Google play store.
And Can't auto update Installed from Aurora store.

You can easily see from what store an app has been installed in android.

go to linux alreadiii

joewilliams007 , 3 months ago

uh hu, you locked yourself in. Imo if you dont need Excel, OneNote or any of that shit, its perfectly cool. For devs its even nicer not to have to deal with all the windows shit ways of doing things. As for documents, LaTeX is great.

Also, in the end, the command line is even easier than having to learn shitty user interfaces. And you get much faster with command line too. Windows likes to have 3 different design languages from different decades for no reason.

Using it as OS and as Server, it has been perfect for years.

People who don't use it either have a life and simply dont want things to change, or are too foolish to realise they are getting trolled with every update.

For people starting, just dual boot a Linux Distro. For the shit that requires windows boot into it. The rest can all be done in linux. Even boots faster.

And for average people probably the google documents / slides [...] will be more than enough.

Rip to people that need windows shit to be in their life for work. Though they could also use a windows vm.

and please do as .pdf aswell if you have students. Sometimes one of our profs powerpoint slides dont show equasions with a libre Software. So annoying!

Just buy a used car. Look for low KM and good climate rating.

Why care for privacy when in the end your using android auto or apple play?

And a home assistant breaks the point even further.

joewilliams007 , 4 months ago

sorry. Didnt know what home assistant was.

thats ok with me. Wouldnt buy a ios device anyways. Exactly, because they dont allow third party apps.
