That’s par for the course in the Linux community unfortunately.

If any of us took the time to read the EULA on just about all of our services/devices you’d see all kinds of crap like this. The real question is would you still click “Accept”?

Being first does not equal being better.

And of they can’t due to the TPM requirement?

Why would you want people you upgrade to 11?

Most Americans don’t live in America.

Because a lot of people don’t have access to mental health resources, or even medical ones, and are struggling with the pressures of navigating a life setup for type A brains with a type B brain. They know “something” is off, and find symptoms match up with ADHD.

$220 USD… Ridiculous.

This is why “industry standard” is such a stupid concept. Adobe knows they have a stranglehold on creative professionals.

Being kind to yourself is apparently pretty important.

The future is stupid.

Without a bottom there can be no top.

This isn’t a test. It’s a logic puzzle.

No of course not, but the question is more important to the answer than the “correct” answer.

Nice logic; poor reading comprehension.

Wow you really went out of your way to yuck OPs yum.

It is anger. It’s justifiable anger. I’m not sure about the nasty words part, but ok.

No the world isn’t devils and angels; it’s devils. Attempting to not be less devilish is the point.

Misguided idealism… now that’s funny. Oh no I want things to be fair and good for the majority of all living things without it being taken off the backs of others! Yeah I’m the bad guy in this one all right.

No I can just not use it. It is not an integral part of any functions of my life or yours. It isn’t “here” as much as its forced into our lives; not organically arriving like some tech panacea. It’s was created with stolen data by companies too big to take accountability and you’re just “OH WELL JUST USE IT I DON’T SEE A PROBLEM WITH IT CAUSE IT’S JUST HOW IT IS HURDUR”. Good god, man…

How is it improving our lives?

The point, which you clearly miss at every turn, is that yes we create suffering in every aspect of modern life, but to strive to cause the least amount of suffering is the point.

Things connected to capitalism are bad. Full stop. There is no part of this system that provides ANYTHING but wealth to a small group of people. The way AI has been literally force-fed into our lives is proof that it is nothing but another tool of capitalism used to both create wealth from those with nothing and maintain control to keep that wealth coming. That’s it. Any “advancements” all serve that idea while the people doing the advancing have no control over how those advances are used.

Look, I get it. You don’t value art or the process of art. You don’t value ownership of the self and what the self produces. A lot of you pro AI folks are like this, because whether your like it or not your lack of creativity, mind you likely a product of the very system cramming AI down your throat, devalues creativity. You jump at the next AI automated car from Tesla or you vibe code and see anything it produces as something YOU made… but you didn’t. That picture up there was made by a countless number of artist’s experiences mushed together in a machine and squeezed out like a turd and you guys are like “OH LOOK THIS IS MEANINGFUL”. Like I said… pathetic.
