I’ve had aliens visit me to tell me they’ve used their unfathomably advanced technology to prove beyond any doubt that I was right and that your sources were wrong. But you’ll also have to trust me on this. Quid pro quo.
Either that or I just find that logo ugly. Pick whichever.
You’re ignoring the rest of the logo that puts it all together. Ultimately I think what makes the Debian logo particularly ugly is the “painted with a scraggly brush” effect.
Since you haven’t given me a point to counter, there ain’t much else to do. I’ll try another approach.
Let’s see your original point, if you can call it: “…strong wrong opinions…”
So you appear to say that I’m wrong to say that the Debian logo is ugly. From that we can conclude that you find it pretty. I mean, it’s fine. You could have simply argued that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and that it looks good to you. I would have respected that. Here, I’ve created an adequate retort for you. You’re welcome.
And since neither of us will ever be bothered to do an unbiased street survey on the beauty of a curled twig we will have to leave it at that.
Comes back with the same assertion as before except with added verbal frills, thinking it could pass as substance.
To be fair to Debian though I don’t think it ever was intended for being used as a desktop daily driver.
Downvotes. Calls the opinion wrong. Refuses to elaborate. Ignores the discourse going on. Complains of lack of discourse.
We agree, it is ugly. Most Linux logos are made by programmers, not graphic designers and it shows. My point still stands that Debian’s logo stands out as being particularly ugly. I don’t care about the tribal fanboys who predictably took it as a personal attack and piled on the downvotes. Every time I used Debian the first thing I did is get rid of that eyesore everywhere I could.
Also while we’re on the subject can we talk about the K shaped antlers on the KDE mascots? They just never looked like they belong there.
If there was a tier list of Linux Distro logos based purely on logo design quality, Debian would be on bottom tier. It is just an ugly logo. The top would probably be OpenSUSE.
Edit: Suck it, fragile fanboys. The logo IS ugly. The fact that we can’t even point it out without having the downvotes piling on is the reason why Debian still has that eyesore for a logo.
This is trying to play whack-a-mole by whacking one mole every 20 years and then declaring victory.
Blatant costumer abuses and wasteful practices like printer ink cartridges wouldn’t be even allowed to happen if we had an adequate legal framework to begin with.
If you really were still naive enough to think that a public tech company cares about your right to privacy at that point, it’s pretty much on you.
Step 1: Use an open source mail client that doesn’t contain trackers like FairEmail instead of Google’s app.
Step 2 (optional but recommended): Get another email service that respects privacy.
Translation: Microslop’s executives are finally starting to realize that they fucked up.
Of course they want that. So they can control and see everything that people can do on their devices. With Moore’s law there is absolutely no reason why centralizing computers should make sense. This is pure corporate greed and nothing else.
You will own nothing and be happy.
I work for a huge organization and my local IT guys have their hands bound. I couldn’t even make a ripple in that ocean even if I tried.
Happened to me at work where they force us to use Windows 11. I had turned on the autosave feature on a Word document I was working on. Little did I know this meant it stopped saving the changes locally and started saving them on a OneDrive copy. I then worked all day on that file.
The next day I notice the file on OD, find it odd that it is there so I delete it because I want nothing to do with OD. I then open the local word file and realize that none of the work I did the day prior was saved.
I figured out what happened and fortunately the file was still in the recycle bin. But fuck that whole system to begin with. It won’t even let me use the autosave feature locally.
An invasion for a hostile place like that would be extremely reliant on supplies. Running out of supplies means rapidly becoming completely unable to fight and probably even freezing to death.
Ships would be vulnerable to submarines and arctic ice. The US would have to rely mainly on its air power but the weather there can make it extremely difficult, if not impossible for long periods of time. It is also extremely challenging to distribute those supplies on land over long distances.
And that’s even supposing that your soldiers even know the basics of how to survive in an Arctic environment like that or they’d just die on their own. And having done some cold weather exercises with Americans, I can tell you that the vast majority of them don’t stand a chance against the elements. Leave them there to their own devices for two days and the survivors will be surrendering to the locals in exchange for a warm place to be.
Really, a place like that has many, many ways to make an invasion go wrong.
This imbecile talks like he doesn’t seem to realize that he is making himself a huge target should his words ever start a war.
How Russia-esque
That point was never made I had to make it myself to conclude this stupid disagreement with something that made sense. Even after I did so, essentially agreeing to disagree he kept going, making it obvious he wasn’t even taking this seriously. The guy was just out trolling while accusing me of not wanting to have a “discourse”.
Seriously, you post one opinion that isn’t necessarily popular but that you believe in, someone hijacks it with an immediate downvote and some comment to twist it around to make you the “bad guy” and people just pile on the bandwagon because snarkiness seems to beat arguments in places like that. People can’t be bothered to read more than 2 lines. I thought that shit only happened on Reddit.
