You have it the wrong way round. SpaceX’s accomplishments are impressive despite Elon.

Who said Wayland was going to be the death? (Excluding canonical) Everyone knew X needed to be replaced and that the transition will be slow until its not.

And systemd is not that bad these days. I do think it’s more complex than it needs to be and startup is a bit slow, but that’s about it.

GNOME making the huge changes inspired the refugees to build Cinnamon and injected some sense into KDE development. Now even GNOME is getting more sensible.

So the excuse you are making is that the performer on stage does not need to speak clearly and loudly, because the people in the first few rows can hear them fine.

Good tip on night mode though.

192kHZ/24bit audio vs 44.1kHZ/16bit

Watching a Christopher Nolan movie I see.

While I appreciate the dedication, I am looking for something more akin to firefox 4.0 levels of functionality and resources usage.

Back when your browser used around 512mb of RAM when you had 40 tabs open.

Now if only browsers can become that lightweight again.

I think they are just using AI to put a positive spin on it. They know hard times are ahead and they need to reduce headcounts to preserve cash.

The free option is not sustainable and does not reward the correct customer/business relationship.

I’m with you, paying is better than supporting the Ad business.

I just wish YouTube did not treat paying customers like criminals with the app based restrictions.

Some arch+hyprland would be awesome on even this hardware.

Intel started running into trouble 15 years ago when they appointed CFO leadership as CEOs. They eroded 20 years of engineering leadership for the sake of “stakeholder value”. They also destroyed the company culture that made them successful and replaced it with MBA corporate BS.

You can’t rebuild that overnight. You basically need to start over.
