Sadly I have to disagree. If I have an issue on Windows, I just can never find an answer because every result on my search is the microsoft forums, which of course never has any solutions that work.

On the other hand, specifically for arch, the arch forums always have the answer for me because there are actual smart people on there.

A side note, windows and their products always have terrible documentation, which can add to the frustration at times.

This support is provided at no cost, reflecting Akamai’s commitment to giving back to the open-source community.

Sounds like it wasn’t a choice so much as one of the biggest CDNs in the world giving a free hand out to a project it relies on itself.

Anyways a lot of companies use Akamai, I don’t think its odd.

Personally I find that feature (including tabs in general) very helpful and is something i’d expect from a text editor in the 20th century.

Just my opinion. To each their own, but just wanted to share that it might also be many others’ opinion too.

Yeah, they kinda screwed up Element with combining mobile and desktop features into one app. The first time I tried creating a call on desktop, it was suddenly apparent how confusing they had made it, because you can do it in multiple ways (normal calls & conference calls).

There are other UIs that look very nice, but sadly don’t support voice chat. Hopefully these other clients can catch up, but it’ll likely take a while.

Not to mention that all that car infrastructure is bankrupting US cities/towns (maybe places outside the US too, but I wouldn’t know).

Sadly most people grow up using and are tought Windows from the first time they touch a computer so its quirks and workarounds of bugs are engrained in the users mind.

Uprooting their entire (current) knowlegebase is inconvenient… but it’s still for the greater good of their privacy and in my opinion effectiveness of whatever they do.

Very fun fact, so much so I wanted to know more.

originates from the Greek helix (ἕλιξ), genitive helikos (ἕλῐκος), “helix, spiral, whirl, convolution”[1] and pteron (πτερόν) “wing”

underpowered trash

I hate to say it, but it’s actually quite powerful trash that they produce.

fun fact: animals, exluding humans, kill about 1 MILLION of us humans a year, most of which are not sea animals.

Thats messed up if u can do this without consent of whoever you are tracking.

If you are gonna do this the right way, with consent, there’s probably free apps that can do this (not sure if there are any privacy friendly ones though, but I believe iphones have a tracking feature that’s free).

$10/month is scammy, but they know their target audience ig (abusers probably, like you say).
