Happened to me on Chrome too.

Mozilla's tracking is not even in the same ballpark as Microsoft's and Google's. I agree that the hypocrisy is annoying but saying they're worse than FAANG is just wrong.

That's a false comparison. You can still edit documents using LibreOffice installed via flatpak, or, like probably most users, use Google Docs, Office 365, or OnlyOffice.

Meanwhile without proper HDR support and better color management, Linux desktop is basically a non-starter for any professional creative use-case, including design, animation, illustration, image and video editing.

Ideally both would be done but they seem to have limited resources, so in this scenario I personally fully support their choice as it will enable Linux desktop usage to a whole new user-base (which is also a paying user-base, namely animation studios that use RHEL).

I've moved from Ubuntu to Fedora and it's been more stable while also being more up-to-date without rolling-release distros headaches. Strongly recommend it.

I'm pretty sure replacing an heavily polluting ICE car with an EV in the span of 17 years(!!) isn't comparable to letting people die from disease, no?

No, we shouldn't. ChatGPT isn't a search engine, it's a language model.

The AI isn't getting this made-up information from anywhere on the internet; it's creating it itself because that's what it's made to do: generate good sounding sentences that "make sense" for some user input.

Academia is currently exploring multiple use cases, and some are already being used in real world scenarios. Permissioned blockchains for example can have multiple use cases in enterprise.

An example is supply chain management [0] and supply chain traceability, which is already in use at Walmart [1].

Also, in Portugal you receive 14 months per year instead of 12 (one extra on summer holiday and another on Christmas).

Gnome 40+ is basically perfect for me after adding the "AppIndicators", "Bluetooth Quick Connect" and "Sound Input and Output" extensions.

I absolutely love being able to click a single key and being able to easily:

- see all windows open across monitors

- drag windows to different desktops / monitors

- close any window and re-organize the whole thing (something I can't do on macOS)

Default apps are also pretty good and the whole DE is super stable and snappy. My only complaints are the GTK file picker being useless and the title bars taking too much space on non-gnome apps (which don't have window decorations).

But Apple does have an ad-network, and they do sell access to it. It might not be Google/Facebook-level yet, but nothing stops them from continuing that path as a means to generate more revenue in the future.

I use Linux (Ubuntu) because it's better for my needs and gets out of my way, being open-source is a bonus.

Since Ubuntu is arguably the most proprietary-software-friendly distro and also the most popular, I'd say a good portion of those 3% seem to be on Linux for the same reasons as me, and not for its "licensing status".
