The question is why now ? Did ethics not matter to you then ? (Especially during the time when they fucked you over the 1st time)

Because now this stuff is in a better working state.

Linux now supports most video games (successfully played elden ring, drg, and Balatro this weekend) open office is far more reliable.

The options now WORK

I've heard that excuse a million times

This isn't Reddit. You don't need to try to one-up everyone to feel seen.

This is a genuine question.

A question posed to who, the YouTuber?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why is this question important to you? Are you thinking about doing something with the info, or just pontificating about how you think you're better than others for making choices sooner?

What's the harm in asking ?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I didn't say there was, I'm simply asking your purpose. Is there some harm in knowing your purpose?

If it takes this long to look for you to actually care about ethical alternatives, then you are virtue signaling about "Ethics" (Usually)

Ok, so it's a superiority thing. That makes sense.

More like calling out an ethically-bankrupt person

More like calling out a fat guy at the gym.

Everyone has different thresholds for action. When you're talking about replacing your entire professional toolset, it might make sense that they were resistent.

You would think getting screwed once would be enough

I dunno, keep hurting my back but I keep trying to get into heavyweights.

I moved to Linux about 2 years ago. It instantly felt better in terms of security, privacy and speed.

But there were many weeks of frustration trying to get things the way I wanted.

A bit like moving to a new town, you don't know where things are, you miss so many things about your old town, but gradually you learn about the new town and all its features and are glad you moved.

I like this moving to a new town analogy. I may use that in the future.
