then i must deal with users' complaints for software i have written solely for my own use. this is a waste of my time because if i do not respond to these complaints i will seem unprofessional, and this will negatively affect my public image.

Kind of the wikipedia type thing, people enjoy something so they work on it with others
Honestly though I think it's become a bit of a meme for finding a better job. A hr guy I was talking to at a company called their software "open source" and I called him out on not knowing what the fuck it meant. I asked him to describe their development process if it is open source and he couldn't do it.

Why is Edge so much fucking faster than Chrome? I have been using Chrome for Manx years but I just really wanna make the switch. It also scrolls much smoother.

I'd like to clear up some erroneous information about where I stand that is circulating on 4chan and perhaps elsewhere.
I have a low opinion of Gentoo GNU/Linux.
Gentoo is a GNU/Linux distribution, but its developers don't recognize this; they call it "Gentoo Linux". That means they are treating me and the GNU Project disresepectfully.
More importantly, Gentoo steers the user towards nonfree programs, which is why it is not one of our recognized free distros.

Went to track my amazon package, and then I see a picture of my house with the packages saying "Your package was delivered."
Wtf amazon? Why not take a picture of my dick instead? And can anyone confirm this who ordered a package recently?

What is your problem exactly?
>>
>>61414016
Amazon's own carrier service (Amazon Logistics) usually takes a picture when the package is delivered. I guess it helps with "my package was stolen" disputes or just confirming it was delivered properly.

I'm unironically considering buying one. But for 70 bucks it seems too much.

Nope. Buy another one.

If you have to ask 4chan if you can fix something then you certainly cannot fix it.

It's called traffic shaping and throttling
It's legal since Americans are cucked and let ISPs maintain monopolies and so whatever the fuck they want

You signed a contract agreeing that you were paying for *up to* advertised speeds.
If you didn't want to agree to those terms you shouldn't have agreed to them

I've got a 2006 17" Macbook pro with Intel Core Duo Processor and 2GB RAM. I'd install LXLE on it if Linux wasn't such a bitch to install on 2006 macbooks specifically due to the way their UEFI works. So, what should I do with this thing?

Wait until September and put it on Craigslist near a university. Some poor freshman desperate to fit in will buy it.

Use a normal distro.

Please, do some research before you shitpost.
