I[t] seems unfortunate if we do this work and […] the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. …

Man I just don’t get this mindset of “it was hard for me, can’t have it be easy for someone else. Even if it takes additional work, I’ll make sure the next person struggles at least as much as me”. It’s like companies designing a great product and then spending additional develpment time making sure it’s not user repairable, even if it means compromising a good design.

We’d still be in the stone age if everyone thougt like that.

It doesn’t really make it any better, but at least they let you opt out of data collection after creating the account (you know, when they have already collected your email, first and last name as well as camera serial no.) 🙄

Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.

Too bad, it makes me think “wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don’t want to find out how bad they would be at developing and maintaining a whole OS…”

Never tried it myself, but there is this: Vimium addon for Firefox

Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant, sorry if I wasn’t clear.

I just think in order to reduce the resistance against such a change, it might be good to still provide the “old” method with voter registration for anyone who doesn’t want a government ID because of “muh freedoms”.

That way, any normal citizen can just have a government ID and by identifying themselves be able to vote without further registration. Any citizen who doesn’t want an ID can go through a voter registration process, same as today.

They could just make a government ID that is not mandatory. Much like a passport. And whoever holds a passport or a voluntary govt ID is automatically enabled to vote using their ID / passport, but then would still leave the choice of manually registering for voting for those who don’t trust “the government” and don’t want a govt ID

So he’s saying out loud that he wants to stage a military coup?

Wow so many suggestions, I did not expect that. You all are amazing, what a great community! Thanks, I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow 🎧

Not so much my style, I like the more … idk “epic” sounding stuff better.

Still, thanks for the recommendations, I appreciate it!

That’s cool, thanks! Immediately reminds me of the Homeworld intro scene.

Alternatively when creating the ventoy installation you can chose to leave X amount of space behind the ventoy partition and then create your own data partition there afterwards. You lose the advantage of “dynamically” sharing the available space between ventoy and your data, but with the seperqte partition you can use whatever filesystem you like for your data, and there is a clear seperation between ventoy and your other data.

By not ratio-ing them on their age?
