Hahaha, too stable and boring... Do you use OSs as a form of entertainment? No wonder why people can't take Linux enthusiasts seriously.

You basically need professional headphones and speakers to notice any difference, my guess is that 99% of Spotify customers have headphones that didn't cost more than $100, so why would they care? I mean, I have nice headphones and speakers and after some blind tests I couldn't notice any difference.

Except if you're not in the US. Don't get me wrong, it's still expensive to have a kid, but there's no risk of going broke during birth procedures (complicated or not) in most developed and even some developing countries.

Don't know... I hope you are right, but too many people were saying the same in 2016

The gang solved the Argentinian inflation.... music starts

I wish Wine worked well enough to use Excel. We are not talking about adding up numbers in a cell. Once you include macros, or a reference manager in Word, Wine is not good enough. The same can be said about propietary software, like autocad, or software used to control equipment. Also, good luck convincing a regular user to get familiar with wine.

WPS is great for simple files. Again, not good enough for complex files, especially if it is a corporate collaboration environment. I have lost count on the amount of ppt files that didn't display well when it used WPS.

Every other year I try all the alternatives you mention, hoping they got better, and I always come back to use a dual boot or a virtual machine, which is not a thing your regular user wants to do.

You can have something similar to what music streamers are doing. Sure Spotify has a majority, but you still have perfectly fine competitors.

I had not pirated music for more than a decade now.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but I research complex systems. Failure is the best way to improve something, even if you know it's going to fail, you want to see how and what are the repercussions. I've done so many experiments that I knew were doomed, but I still have to do them just because I wanted to see how the system is would react.

Not a fan boy of Elon by the way, not trying to defend him or anything.

Not OP, I don't have respect for JP, but he still was a professor back then. This is like Degree Tyson starts talking BS on behavioural psychology, that doesn't make him wrong about all his previois statements on astrophysics.

I don't agree. I had lots of issues with printers, scanners, cameras, fingerprintreader, styluses. Yes, regular hardware, no issue, peripherals? Different story.

I know this is an issue from the manufacturers, but it's still an issue.

I agree! But it's surprising that even Google doesn't have a native app for Drive. There's one for android, but not for Linux? I'm guessing it all boils down to number of users,, but still...

Wait, are you guys getting money from climate denialists? Count me in!
