“that’s ok. they were never an intended user base, they’re the targets.”
--some ceo, somewhere. probably.

so these crazy prices i hear about being implemented (like at github) should actually be at least 10x higher?

not “motorola” (as in the mobile phone company that’s now part of lenovo, or the old cable box/modem company which is owned by arris), but rather a licensee of the name and trademarks for certain networking products… “premier logitech” (which has nothing to do with the computer peripherals company), which is owned by one of those buyout/“investment” firms “tide rock”.

i wouldn’t expect a thing out of them, especially support for gear designed, made or sold prior to tide rock’s ownership (acquired in 2024).

just ream 'em on a receipt review. the franchisee here actually seems to pay attention to ones critical of things relating to wait times and quality of service and product.

the rare occasion where i go to mcdonald’s, i always go inside and order from a real person at a the (there’s only one here now) register. i want to exchange cash for product and that’s the only way to do it.

cynic might suspect that Elon is just juicing expected revenues

given his reputation, previous actions, and thirst for even more wealth… anyone with more than three brain cells should see the scam being set up.

google owns a fair chunk of the company from a substantial investment a decade ago. this is just a further ‘investment’ to boost spacex financials prior to the anticipated ipo. has nothing to do with elon’s pipe dream of data centers in space.

now that’s a happy ending.

gotta inflate those ipo so everybody (that they choose) ‘wins’.

that’s what they’re working towards… removing the extra prime benefits.

but you’ll pay more just for that by the time they’re finished.

iirc (gnome) tweaks has a toggle for separating dialogs from parents.

it’s a dead market. once the current crop of retirees die off, there won’t be anymore because the rest of us will have to work til we die.

gnome dumbed itself down too far, it’s turning into the win10 or 11 of linux–with features, basic features… expected features and functions, now missing… and the bland ui that makes it difficult to even see a damn window border without customizing tf out of it. i do not subscribe to their idea of one workspace per window or application. fk that.

the only thing that was keeping it on a few systems here was an extension. one not even made by them. i found an equivalent kwin script for plasma. starting switching stuff over the next day.

i won’t go back. and i’ve found that gtk and libadwaita stuff actually looks better on kde, anyway. so no change in what i’m using, just what everything runs from.

i might still put gnome on for others, if all they’re looking for is a dumbed-down, simple launcher for their browser–like an alternative to chromebook, but that’s it.

why stop there? what about the others?

i believe that’s one of the reasons why they (‘doge’, et al) was raiding all the government systems and stealing all the data… to build such a thing for the chief grifter/wanna be dick-tator and his masters.
