Yeah, I’m trying to pitch a new product to them for quick burst data recovery snapshots. I’m calling it backshots!

Or you could pay backblaze a few bucks a month to back up terabytes and not die with you data.

You never know, companies are always looking for new ways to fuck their employees.

Usually ERP means Enterprise Resource Planning but I think they meant EAP, Employee Assistance Program. EAPs are usually free short term counseling provided by your employer.

Not necessarily, lots of open source projects offer enterprise support contracts and in house staff could be retrained. Definitely going to be good for training, consulting, and MSPs though

Lil’ bro is skibidi grinching smh

Lick my As! You chemists can’t stop me from slobbering on every element.

I don’t even use KDE but go off king. You must be a GNOME dev or something lmao

It’s interesting how I never said anything inherently bad about GNOME or good about KDE. I understand the meme is tiring for you and the rest I’ll agree to disagree on. I’m aware open source software is not forcing anything for anyone.

Lastly I’m not lying, it’s hyperbole. I’m just using an extreme example to point out how you’re stonewalling any response given to you with similar bs.

What a novel idea. I’m also allowed to have preferences and post them on the Internet. I’m also allowed to have bad takes.

It doesn’t change the fact that GNOME and Windows are defaults in certain spheres of computing. Which tends to people bitching about the choices those projects make. Certainly as a home user I’m not forced to use them but what about as an employee or student. But I’m your worldview I should opt to be homeless and uneducated.

Anyway, my comment wasn’t entirely fuck GNOME. Their design philosophy is minimalism and simplicity sometimes at the behest of options. Which is not unlike the choice Windows made here. However, that’s not too say that it’s always a bad choice, KDE may have too many options. But, yes, I was being a bit tongue in cheek.

Thanks,

Original guy you replied to

Eh, I admit my comment is kind of tongue in cheek and it isn’t my favorite DE but I used it for a while (esp 2.0). I think it’s kind of a stretch to call it shitting on though. Their design philosophy is literally simplicity and consistency. Which sometimes comes at the behest of customization. That’s not shitting it just is what it is.

Well let’s not forget the corporate sponsorship from the biggest player in Linux, preferable release cycle, and preferable license back in the day.

Hmmm, maybe Windows hired some of the GNOME developers

I use Arch, btw.

Works in my app :P I really wish stuff like this were more standardized across the platform. Not really much point in spoilering it now since everyone is chatting about it.
