I install Qalculate on every machine I own, even the Windows ones, so for the calc pros in here: which one is better? Thanks.

Not by today' standards or definitions but they were definitely right or left views.

You might have the best intentions but why the hell would I sign up for a service that does what email/IMAP does in the first place?

Hosting is expensive too, free forever is another question in my mind.

Don't people remember what email IS anymore? Make me understand.

You forgot to say “Written in Go” /s

I’ve been checking your client for a while and it looks awesome, thanks for the reminder, finally after 30+ years I think I really got tired and left IRC for good but I’ll download and give it a go later today.

Moved to https://search.brave.com years ago because that's what works/worked the best for me but I'm about to move again I think to https://noai.duckduckgo.com because of that annoying Leo AI that's always wrong.

I'd love to move away from Google entirely but it's a long process, years of business on Google Workspace etc. I hate to be tied to companies like this, when I started I never thought Google would end up like Microsoft.

Linux has been at 100% for years, don't get confused about mouse and keyboard.

I think it's neither, it all comes down to peace of mind and that's the true future of technology.

In the past it was more of a race of companies trying to get "there" first, not anymore, we live in an interesting age where people feel constantly controlled and everyone is exhausted about tech in general.

Linux gives you that middle finger peace of mind like saying "I will never be controlled anymore and ever again" ..funny there is a big Warez article on the HN homepage at the same time of this discussion, that's exactly what it feels like to finally come out on the other side legally.

People took decades to finally being liberated from Windows and Microsoft and many like me will never be controlled that way again and while I respect Apple more than Microsoft for a lot of things in the end it's just another corporation that wants to greedily take your life energy and precious time and enslave you again.

They are creating the best hardware at the worst possible time, but it's good for competition so it's all good.

Always has been.

Not going to happen, Linux already won, doesn’t look like it but you’ll see.

Linux is actually exciting contrary to Apple as a company, their hardware, their prices and macOS in general.

And I’m saying this as a Windows user too, I will NEVER buy a Mac but I’ve used Linux on and off for 30+ years.

For the past 5-10 years Linux has been the only excitement I’ve had personally.

Some run post install, most during, NTLite is good as well but too much work since unattended.xml just works so well.

There was another one too at some point called MSMG Toolkit (IIRC) that worked wonders but who knows what happened to that.

After 30+ years of using every OS I just don't want to deal with an OS that constantly fights with you just to try to make it usable, unattended.xml is MY path of least resistance, configure once, check/update every now and then, no need to learn new tricks.

https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator made all those tools obsolete and useless for the most part, "debloating" after it's installed is always bad business.

https://wpd.app works well too for extra telemetry and https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla still works with Windows 11 but again autounattend.xml works magic.

> hate is a good thing.

Hate more if you care.

The more you hate, the more you care.

Support hate.

Relax people it's a joke, if I have to say it it's not funny anymore.
