I love how most major US companies commit crimes against humanity and that’s considered very normal and business as usual but whenever Saudi Arabia diversifies its funds it’s suddenly the most horrifying inhumane maniacal evil thing imaginable and we get 500 articles reiterating that. They spent money on football? They’re sportswashing us! It’s all a conspiracy!!!

Meanwhile many US companies run on child slavery, others like Nestle extort precious materials from Africa and intentionally de-stabalize countries there, many western countries such as US support genocide in Israel and so on. But that’s just business as usual, can we PLEASE focus on Saudi Arabia’s spending on sports?!?!?

Mostly aesthetically, but also since Linux Mint is a very stable distro updates are usually slow and the packages it uses are often a little outdated. If you’re the type of person to want to update to the newest thing as soon as it’s out, then it’s probably not for you.

I legitimately don’t understand what they’re hoping to gain from the AMA. Unless spez is going to start with “We were wrong, we’re rolling back the changes” then there’s nothing to be said. They ran over 3rd party apps that millions of their users use for no reason. This will be a total disaster.

I never really liked Twitter as a concept. It feels like it’s built on an “old man yells at cloud” concept where people just shout their thoughts and nobody gains anything from it.

By comparison forums are there to foster discussions and communities. I thought Mastodon would be better but I spent 5 minutes and it’s exactly the same nonsense.
