    The only way that has any accuracy is if the Linux photo has a button that quite literally manages most of the other buttons for you, and the more complicated stuff exists really only if you want to do it manually.

    You can get by just fine literally never touching any of those buttons day-to-day. But they’re there for the people who want to get down in the mud with their operating system.





  • No. And I’ll explain by way of a quick example.

    Every lunch hour, high-schoolers from the local comp cut across my work’s parking lot on their way to 7-11. A group of them, the same boys for the most part, laugh and sig heil each other while using their fingers to make fake hitler moustaches.

    Does this make them nazi’s? No. It makes them teenagers who do something idiotic because it’s “edgy” and their peers are doing it. 16 year olds have zero concept of the real world implication of their actions. Their brains are neither fully formed enough or emotionally mature enough to vote responsibly rather than just decide to be a dick bag because it’ll make their friends laugh.

    At best you’re going to end up with a lot of spoiled votes writing in Eric Cartman. And at worst, they’ll actively vote in the asshole that makes honest voters made because that’s the “edgelord” thing to do.


  • I mean, true…but I don’t think the average user is paying for the service rather than they’re paying for not having to worry about setting up everything needed to get syncthing working.

    I don’t consider myself a luddite in any way, but within five seconds of reading syncthing’s install instructions even I basically just said, “yeah…no.” And I say that AS a nearly 12 year semi-advanced linux user. It’s not that it’s difficult. But difficult enough to not be worth it for the average person.
