As a straight dude, my first internal knee-jerk reaction was "this is such a stupid solution to a stupid problem", but then my mental "Don't be an asshat because not everybody is like you" guard rail kicked in.

Clearly this is a product for a market of people that it works for and I'm happy for them. Enjoy your neat keyboard thing, long nailed peeps.

There are plenty of "kids" movies and TV that are excellent for adults, too.

Listing a few:

  1. Bluey
  2. Most of Pixar
  3. Adventure Time (after Season 1)
  4. Star Wars Rebels/Clone Wars (again, after Season 1)
  5. Shrek
  6. Star Trek: Prodigy

This is not an exhaustive list, but you get the point.

Repairable technology with encouragement to repair things that break by designing them to be fixable.

Open source technologies becoming the rule, rather than the exception (this is already the case in some ways, but I truly mean EVERYTHING).

Open Standards that make interoperability easier by removing walled gardens (iMessage, G-Sync, etc).

To be fair, Rocket League runs fine in Proton.

Also, to be fair.....agreed. Fuck Epic.

I don't trust any corporation. However, Valve has treated customers with respect and doesn't try to bend us over. For that, I'll keep buying from them.

However, I fear for the day Gabe Newell is no longer running the show.

I'm with you right until you said "Public Utility". I'd say just burn it down.

I work for a company in Texas, USA. We actively discourage Windows being used in our organization and push people to use macOS or Linux.

As long as their demonstration is against military targets (and not what Israel would classify as a "military targets"), I say let them. Bomb every Russian military base within 200 miles of Ukraine into a crater. Russia only seems to respond to a show of force, unfortunately with its current leadership, so give it to them.

I just feel bad for the Russians who have to live under Putin's rule. I know several Russians who have fled Russia to avoid drafts or persecution. Hearing them talk about how they "probably will never be able to go home again" is heartbreaking.

If you want "Apple-like" look and feel, KDE Neon, Ubuntu, or Pop_OS! are good first Linux distros to start with.

I took the joke as Manjaro is a poor impersonation of a pure Arch install, so it's half-assed like the users. It's a meme, though, so don't take it too seriously.

Also, if you use Manjaro, it's just a joke and you're still awesome for being a Linux user.
