I kinda disagree. If you need something to connect to the internet, it needs to be rather up to date.

The whole “Apple products are great because they control both software and hardware” always made about as much sense to me as someone claiming “this product is secure because we invented our own secret encryption”.
I don’t find it at all annoying to keep NewPipe up to date.
I think you may need to take a look at Obtainium.
You can get e.g. pylance to work if you trick it:

So, at least in that instance, it’s just Microsoft being a little petty.
The problem with that is the power consumption. It adds up.
You think that’s a lot? I don’t have a single laptop younger than 6 years, at home or work.
VS Code is mostly open source though, with an independent build being circulated under the name “VS Codium”. Some proprietary Microsoft extensions will however refuse to run on it out of spite though.
The proprietary version of Inkscape would be Adobe Illustrator, I guess.
Never used it though.
You can definitely mount a windows share on a linux machine. I was doing it at my last job, because it allows you to do anything on it transparently as if its part of the local filesystem.
Here instructions from the Ubuntu wiki, most things should carry over to most other distros.
No car is fun in those instances. But that is how we spend the majority of our time on the road.
Hence, “fun driving is over”.
There are still fun cars. It’s getting incredibily difficult to have fun driving them.
I have not.
Do they somehow make it fun to be queueing at a busy intersection?
Is driving 70km/h behind a truck somehow a blast if you’re in a Tesla?
If so I’ll make it a priority to try one out ASAP!
Honestly, I lived in Antwerp for a while… I think the transmission is the least of their problems.
Agree that fun driving is essentially over, but I don’t think automatic cars are as common outside North America.
In Europe ~80% of cars have manual transmission, mainly due to the (in the past) better fuel efficiency.
Modern automatic cars have often slightly better fuel efficiency, but they cost quite a bit more to buy and maintain, and very nearly everyone knows how to drive stick, so people usually don’t bother.
Edit: As we stop having fun driving cars, should we finally also say goodbye to race biking, and fun motorcycling, once and for all?
Oh, I can confirm I have met a person in Belgium who could only drive automatic.
My current laptop is 7 years old, and I Love It!
I still even play games with it. Not the newest stuff, but I have such a huge backlog of indies and not-so-new games that I could play for 15 years…
If someone told me this will be garbage in 3 years… I would hit them with the laptop. It’s a T470p, their skull is the part that would break.
