the number 1 linux user accessory is the word "just"


A computer is a tool - learn to use it like a tool. People spend far more time learning to drive than they do learning to use computers these days, but I'd wager the computer matters more.

But too many companies have discovered that a docile "user" who's fed constant dopamine hits and has no actionable way to use a device other than open their wallet and fork over cash to watch more cats dance, or shop on more stores is exactly what they want.

Why don't you just click here and pay for Onedrive. Or just click there and accept Apple's new ridiculous terms.

If you just want to watch cats dance... you do you. I'll just keep doing me over here.
