Yes. It’s been disappearing since before I was born in the 80s, and is mostly gone now.
I switched to Arch[-based distros] when I realized I had been getting 90% of my support from the Arch wiki for years
most applications on Linux are design / depend on [GNOME’s] components

Would you spend an hour fixing a problem that will only save you ten minutes total in the rest of your lifetime using the software?
How did you get from “People often ask” to “having recurring conversations with everyone you know”?
The same way anyone else for whom English is a second or third language function in society.
And, since we don’t own or use any Haier appliances, we aren’t subject to their TOS.
Most of my motivation here was recurring conversations with friends and colleagues and strangers about how much time I put into making small contributions to open source projects.
I’m going to click the [-] thread collapse button on Lemmy 50 times in the next ten minutes.
That area of the chart is for people with really repetitive jobs/hobbies. There are MANY jobs where you do the same 5-10 minute thing 50x a day.
I just did an OS reinstall for the first time in about 4 years. Moving from Manjaro back to Arch. Happy New Year!
Sadly the checkout dialog has CORS violations that they probably don’t care to fix.

They can’t afford to do anything that would lose them a large slice of viewers. Same reason websites still support IE.
You’re no more stuck with Windows than a Mac user is stuck on a Mac.
No. I predict we would revert to the status quo of 20-100 years ago, with very affordable state-run schools providing excellent education, and high price private schools catering to the rich. Cheap schools got expensive because we allowed the for-profit student loan industry to run wild.
And then products without that label would gain at least a little a bit of market share. Most people still buy inefficient fridges because they are shinier, but at least a few read those yellow labels mandated by law and choose the more efficient ones.
My proposal is for a mandated label on software and hardware to indicate that it will stop working when some online service goes offline.
Most people who “self host” things are still doing it on a server somewhere outside their home. Could be a VPS, a cloud instance, colocated bare metal, …
If you’re at least a 4/10 woman or an 8/10 man, they are pretty effective. For the rest of us, not so much.
