Oh no.

Paint.net is great but it doesn’t even come close to 80% the functionality of photoshop. It’s more like 10%. The plugins are interesting but fairly limited in what they can do.

I like to use paint.net for simple edits like cropping because of how lightweight it is, but as soon as I need to do any substantial image manipulation or drawing I’m opening photoshop. Paint.net will just hold you back. It doesn’t support some of the most common and basic features like masks, brushes, the pen tool and gradients.

Just set it to offline mode

Sorry, what? Youtube is full of ads.

The spotify home page is like the youtube trending page. I don’t care about it, never look at it, and it doesn’t get in my way. It’s really not a big deal. If this helps to keep the price down, great!

Lmao you’re a lost cause

Free for you maybe, at the cost of the artists.

Oh no, the promotional feed shows promotional music?

Spotify lets you download songs if connectivity is your concern.

What a pain. I’ll happily pay to avoid having to go through that.

I’m Dutch so I use my bike multiple times a day. Flats are pretty common.

Nah.

No, by not using it.

Well, not exactly. Those imperial units are all a unique measurement that one would have to learn to use. The SI prefixes meanwhile are simply powers of 10. Deca means 10, hecto means 100, kilo means 1000. Decameter literally means 10 meter. And so people just end up saying that instead, because it’s easier and conventional. But in some situation where you’re frequently dealing with 10s of meters it might be easier to use decameters.

The system also provides prefixes for extremely large or extremely small units. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone referring to a ronnameter (10^27 meter). But it’s there if you ever need it, because it’s again just a power of 10. While megameter (1000km) is pretty much never used, megahertz is very common. SI simply provides a unified system and we can apply it in whatever way is most practical.

Hecto is used in NL for road marks. You’ll find a sign every hectometer on the highway. Makes it easy to tell where you are.

That’s like 5 years of use, seems pretty worth it to me.

By letting them use the OS without ever having to see any browser at all

If you could uninstall edge one could end up in a situation where there are zero browsers installed, which is extremely user unfriendly. Unlike Linux, Windows tries to accommodate any kind of user.

With enough know-how you can absolutely remove edge. They just don’t make it easy. Which is a good thing.

No? I had Bixby removed from the phone entirely.
