I mean, no matter what, I’m going to prefer raking leaves over dealing with other people’s trash. But I wouldn’t complain about having to deal with other people’s trash if I was doing it as a service to my neighbors who will return that service in kind because we all want to help each other out/want our society to function and not because I need to or I’ll starve.

The idea of being forced to do any of the undesirable jobs would be a lot more tolerable if you only had to do it 1 week a month and could rotate the responsibilities with others. This becomes more complicated the more specialized the work gets, of course.

The codecs thing is wack. I can explain to people that maybe their distro doesn’t come with a video player because the idea is that they get to choose their preference, but I’ve lost once I have to also explain that none of their video files will even work since they didn’t also install codecs.

I think expectations were just really high because it was in development for 7 years. It’s pretty clear it was made with some of the Fallout 4 bones though and that technology just advanced passed them in the time it took them to make it. The jump from Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim was pretty large in a lot of ways but its almost a Duke Nukem Forever situation except they wisely chose not to scrap the game 12 times to implement every new gimmick.

Hostile comment, but ok. Continue enjoying your Windows adware I guess.

Gamepass games generally don’t work on Linux either.

Ask the people who worked on Avatar (the one with the blue people), which was simultaneously the highest grossing movie of all time and also the most pirated movie for several years after its release.
