You couldn’t pay me to use that shit.
If I went on a tangent about how game makers shackle themselves to vendor lock-in schemes like DirectX, then this little post wouldn’t have been quite as fun and digestible.
Firefox ESR creates some safe distance between you and these “wonderful” new features that everybody “wants”.
And plenty enough time for a user.js template to be tweaked accordingly.
If I get stuck on something, I just move on. I have quite a large backlog of things that I’d started and plan to revisit once my proficiency in the skill is better. You need to build on what you already have.
I no longer view gatekeeping necessarily as a bad thing. In fact, it can be sometimes be necessary to preserve communities.
I’ve also learned over the years that the only people who succeed in migrating to linux are those who both considerably desire to do so while also having a level of technical competency somewhere north of average. Anyone else is just being strung along by a “helpful” linux evangelist in their family or friends group, and will ultimately drop the solution at the first sign of trouble and frustration.
I really enjoy there being a natural filter through this process. I’d rather people who lack the willpower or cognitive capacity to complete an install be kept within the confines of Windows.
You’re being compelled to use Outlook over some other email service?
Nice try, glowboy
So if a console came out next year that also exceeded Windows in the quantity of games, you which ditch your gaming PC and switch over to New Console™ in a heartbeat?
Answer: A Windows PC + all of the consoles + all of the handhelds + both major mobile device brands.
It just depends on how much you’re willing to sell your soul… in order to amuse yourself.

Well, it is a gradient
Consoles are only a few rungs further down on the freedom ladder than a Windows PC. Both are somewhere near the bottom.
Wow, I think I have more respect for alcoholics than I do for gamers, at this point.
Nobody has really answered the last part of my question. I’m not asking whether or not this is ethical, I’m asking how can I keep the employees who don’t leave in a state of perception where they think I’m ready to fire and replace them at any moment. I don’t want them to realize their position and leverage it against me.
I’ve been thinking about holding the promise of upping wage by a dollar and to keep pushing out the date as means of helping them realize how easy their work is. I’m not going to allow non-committed hires to devour the value of my business over what amounts to easy work. They know it’s easy work.
I don’t appreciate the sarcasm. Things have become tight. And after some knuckleheads couldn’t handle basic tasks in a basic industry, I have found we are able to operate with just half of the staff I used to pay. The ones who stick around know their worth.
What I’m worried about is that the remainder will also try an leave, knowing that I rely on them more than ever before. So my angle is to obfuscate the fact that I actually need them. How do I make sure they can’t read me on that?
For anything new that enters my life, I want 100% for it to not be anything at all to do with digital technology.
And if it absolutely must be digital technology it non-negotiably must be:
Anything mobile is a total lost cause. I have ZERO interest in “smart” phones. Fuck that noise.
“Perfection is only achieved when there is nothing left to take away.”
I have done okay at keeping unnecessary crapware from creeping into my life, but there is the occasional second hand smoke from the masses who will bend over for literally anything.
And also the second hand smoke phenomenon: When you use big tech, you softly compel those around you to also use big tech. The more people that give in and acquiesce, the harder it becomes for the hold outs to continue to resist.
