Funny how it is all relative...

Red hat for a few months -> Gentoo for 10 years-> Arch for another 10 years

For me this is the opposite: Every time I am forced to use Ubuntu I feel like I am in a torture chamber especially with 3rd party packages.

Literally every product. People feel so much safer after that :)

The rust one is called bottom (btm) see the other thread :). When you already have a rust environment it is just at a cargo install away which is convenient.

Neovim (nvchad) with copilot to write Rust. Why? The terminal environment is super flexible: I have 2 desktops and a laptop running on Arch Linux, all the same dotfiles with tmux to keep my sessions alive.

It all depends on your application domain: I mainly build embedded Linux code for a transportation drone.

Late stage enshitification

Agreed, why throwing more programming, delays and complexity to it while the main goal is just to first find a new official home, P0 is to pick an instance, move to it and announce it. Then P1 if you want to federate better subcommunities: sure! do it! and the larger lemmy community will benefit from it.

If you switch to Linux you'll probably have to learn at some point to use the terminal but with some recent developments (new fonts, ligatures etc..) console applications evolved to be more and more ... Graphical! And this is awesome: check out btop, neovim/nvchad, lsd etc...

Oh you lost a screw ... Let me see ... That will be $3k for the screw but we do have a cool new iPhone too you know!

Such a sad coincidence

I don't believe so. In KDE3 it was double click IIRC then it changed with the single click during the web mania UI when people suddenly wanted the big unification for everything: phones, fridges, tablets, supercomputers.

Like a lot of other people mention, this is the first thing I flip in plasma too. A mouse with a pointer is just different from a tactile interface.

I don't think you need an economist to understand why it can quickly lead to a runaway disaster... Imagine you see a car price going down every week by 1k, do you buy it this week or next week? The competitor what do you think they need to do to compete? Lower their price too but wait everybody is waiting for next week, so literally nobody is buying anymore ... So as a company you just start to fire people or close shop as quickly as possible, so a lot of people are now on the market so their labor value also goes down, ie. the salaries are dropping... This tsunami of jobless people would they buy a car this week you think? So companies need to continue dropping the prices...

Passed away: This has been used in plain English since the 14th century. This is also a respectful way to say that they passed away to another realm (to whatever people believe in).
