You say that like it's a negative thing.

Some people actually want to know things and are curious about where they came from, what they're made of, who their family is.

Submitting your DNA can increase your knowledge. It sounds like you can't believe people would seek knowledge.

After realizing the Godot package in Ubuntu was terribly outdated, I checked their snap store.

There are half a dozen Godot packages on Snapcraft, uploaded by random people. There is no indication of which a user should actually get, as none are "official". The one package that has a "verified" check also has a full description of just the word "blah", so it's clear it's not the real one and the "verified" checkmark means nothing.

Anyone that wants to upload something can. Non-functional, non-tested apps, others' work, abandoned apps, malware, etc.

And then the system ties your hands behind your back and refuses to let you control things like updates.

Snaps are an abortion and it has been turning people off to Ubuntu like crazy.

After any Ubuntu install:

    apt purge snapd

Gaslight, Obstruct, Project

IPv6 only is still problematic.

Well, you see, it's only been around 20 years or so. We need another 20-40 years of "IPv6 is coming" reminders before people really take a look at it.

Users can block instances

Finally!

I've had enough creepy/disgusting furry and pedophile drawings on my feed. That "yiffit" instance will be the first that I block.

They were willing to fuck over some people and drive them completely out of business.

Which people? Developers. The very people that helped make Unity what it is. Unity wanted to completely crush their own developers. Some estimates put Unity's fees higher than 100% revenue in some scenarios.

Them back-tracking and saying "wow! we didn't expect this to be so hated!" shows that they either don't understand numbers (they do) or that they think their users are idiots.

So why would developers want to come back to them?

I'm still waiting for the spooky stuff I've been hearing about for years.

I'm being tracked. My information sold and exchanged. Big, evil corporations trading my data with other companies like it was baseball cards. All my inner-most desires leaked!

All to get an ad for a "litter box robot" or whatever when I'm browsing memes.

Moto?

Motorola lost my business when they sold me a phone and then provided a grand total of ONE OS upgrade its entire life (Moto G LTE, shipped with an outdated 4.4 build, and then got a single update to 5.1 before being abandoned forever).

There is no potential for brand loyalty when the brand themselves tell their own customers to fuck off.

Well, it's for work stuff, so I don't have a lot of choice.

Several years ago some higher-ups chose Microsoft to provide all services. Exchange, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, etc.

I can use LibreOffice or whatever for documents, but everything else is Microsoft.

A native version of Outlook would be nice.
