I only know the German translation where the name is Petterson.

Petterson is iconic but he would be nothing without Findus.

I wish there were actual consequences that matter for this type of appalling greedy behavior.

True but it helps get the concept across so much.

I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.

I agree. I also think ads do influence us way more than almost anyone would believe or admit. Why else would companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars on ads without batting an eye. Many products cost as much or less than their ad campaign cost to make.

So I try to avoid ads as much as possible. I haven’t seen or heard an ad in a long time aside from billboards and posters which are basically impossible to avoid.

As an outsider it seems absolutely weird that the US as a country seems to have accepted people getting shot by other regular people daily as normal.

Crushed Walduts.

Walduts.

How I know?

I think I won. I found a place I like more than reddit. Maybe we won even. We all got this place right here now. It’s nice.

Maybe reddit won. Maybe they wanted to get rid of us and succeeded. Could be easier to milk the platform for shareholders after getting rid of anyone who would protest beforehand.

Maybe it doesn’t matter because neither side needs the other anymore. Both sides changed and don’t fit back together anymore.

Certainly declaring a winner in this situation is dumb.

I actually don’t tell people about it unless they ask for some reason or it comes up. Which as you can imagine rarely happens.

Funny side effect is I had many people use my PC quickly for things. Noone ever comments on things looking different. Do they not notice? Do they not care? I don’t know. Maybe it’s so superior it’s beyond their comprehension.
