The relevant comparison between Linux (FOSS in general) and Veganism here is that we’re at the stage of acceptance where the ceiling is how many potential allies who would immediately “get it” when presented with the idea. Making people talk about Linux/Veganism more is effective, even if it means being as loud and obnoxious as possible (all publicity is good publicity!)

Yes, creating one Vegan is ten million times more desirable than creating one Linux user, but like most “radical progressive” ideas; I think one does more to reinforce, than steal breath from, the other.

I’m willing to bet the average FOSS advocate is significantly more likely to be Vegan too.

Actively spitting on my face with that even while the money I’m planning to pay them counter ticks up. Can’t you settle for the $70 cash I’m about to hand you??

A lot of these “apps” would have been tray programs or terminal one liners as well. Making that into a whole app is a form of clutter.

Hmm is it like a disco rave inside and they have to jump over the lasers for hours until they can’t anymore? Can we televise this?

Damn we gonna smoke the rich? Do you get a high from that or is it just for flavor?

We need to create a new cool af retro sci fi guillotine for the tech companies’ CEOs because they ruined computers and the internet. I’m thinking either laser guillotine or like a gigantic Jacob’s ladder in reverse. I’m open to suggestions.

Right? A computer is a computer. I can theoretically run any arbitrary program on this thing. So why is every phone app so objectively shitass?

There’s momentum on phones to make programs that aren’t for the existing user, they’re for the new user, the potential next user. They go so far as to define first time users’ experience as “user friendly”. Well I’m a user too and it certainly isn’t very friendly to me when I have to go hunting for a feature you took away last week and hid somewhere.

Also, any time a UX designer says the word " cluttered" they should be immediately shot because that word means “this app is too useful and it might scare grandma if she sees three too many buttons”

The worst are when someone takes something that already exists and slaps ads on it. It’s as difficult to find a good sudoku app on the play/app store that isn’t riddled with ads or wants you to make an account as it is to find a bad one in my Linux package manager. What value did you provide making yet another shitty sudoku app? None, yet you serve me ads? The gall!
