The point is to ditch the dependency on a corporate Overlord, not to find a different daddy

No, you are right. In your situation, Linux is just not an option - yet.

I think these posts are meant for the 95% of people that use a browser, and maaaaybe a mail client on their PC.

Photoshop/Illustrator will only ever get ported if enough people have already made the move that Adobe can't afford to ignore Linux any longer.

That being said, if those requirements are just for work, what's keeping you on Windows on your private devices?

IDK. They will certainly be fine here, on earth. Even if everything else goes to shit, they will continue living in luxury.

On a spaceship / station / Mars colony though? As much as I love sci-fi, living there will be ROUGH, regardless of how rich you are.

I think it's more an ego thing: "I want to go down in history as the first human on another planet, lest I be forgotten" combined with an unhealthy dose of not giving a fuck about other people, which is kinda a prerequisite to being a billionaire in the first place.

I dont exactly like passkeys, but yes, from a technical standpoint, they do indeed solve Phishing

Ngl, being able to wear leggins is about 90% of the benefit of SRS for me.

It's been 5 or 6 years, 100% worth it.

I can recommend Grav as a flatfile CMS for those use-cases where the site is 90% static, the customer just wants to get able to sometimes update some of the content.

That's awesome. Lemmy is great, but old-school forums are just something else.

For a burst of nostalgia for at least some of you nerds (lovingly), let me add forums.spacebattles.com to the list

Anything involving US, probably no, agreed.

However, I have been on 3 flights in the past 2 years which were international (albeit inter-european) where I wasn't required to show my ID even once.

Just thought it's kinda funny :D

NO, not "rule now"!! "Rule never"! Tss, looks like you still haven't learned your lesson, princess...

I did have a weird issue with my printer under nix, turns out it was a bug. I guess 1h time investment is about right.

But that also meant that my Laptop and my GF's PC were a 0 seconds time investment.

I think that's neat :D
