Can’t lock people into some service if you do that. They gotta have that recurring monthly revenue.

You might see some whinging about it in some corners of the Internet, like here, but most people don’t know or don’t give a shit.
It sucks.
tempest@lemmy.cato Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla chairman's salary vs Firefox market share (as of 2023)11·4 months agoIf you look at it from an incentive view point you have to pay people more to Capitan a sinking ship.
Also worth noting is that market share may or may not be relevant. Android has a higher market share world wide compared to Apple, however Apple users generate more revenue.
All this to say that the op graph is at best an incomplete picture of things designed to rile up people who lack critical thinking.
tempest@lemmy.cato Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla chairman's salary vs Firefox market share (as of 2023)314·4 months agoThe CEOs salary has almost zero affect on Firefox’s market share.
That decline can be explained relatively simply by two things.
One, people are increasing using mobile devices and very very rarely do they install another browser so they are using Chrome on Android and Safari on Apple devices.
Two, Google was/is using Google dot com to promote chrome. That is not something Mozilla could ever replicate.
Then there is the other bit where Mozilla tries to diversify their revenue sources and the faithful skewer them for it and tell them “just work on Firefox” when it is clear the market is unwilling to pay for a browser at all.
If you like KDE your night find endeavouros with KDE pretty good. It is an arch derivative so it is rolling release, if that is acceptable then I would say give it a try.
The two party System is more a consequence of first past the post than the system they are voted into.
If you look at Canada as an example in the last 30 years the parties on the right have amalgamated and have been rewarded for it as the vote splitting on the left is what gets them elected. It’s just a matter of time until the left follow suit and then 🎉 two party system.

Stripe is B2B and working with billing code is the worst trifecta of difficult, boring and very important. No company is swapping out for the Palestinians.

That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.
Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.
I would also warm against the copy paste of commands that you don’t know what you are doing with. The one nice thing is that in 2025 you can drop a command into your choice of LLM assistant and get a pretty good description of what it does without breaking out the man pages.
