Agree. The installation isn’t a barrier. Basic OS navigation probably isn’t either anymore. Its still having to use alternative software and work arounds that I think is the frustrating part for the average user attempting to switch. Also, it’s that they can’t use Linux at work in many cases and it’s uncomfortable to switch environments on a daily basis from home computing to workplace computing. You’d think with nonsense like the crowds trike crash more businesses would force the switch, but unfortunately I don’t get the sense that is happening.

Deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me clubbing seals and installing windows.

Assuming all of you are 35-55 year old obese guys with beards living in your parents’ basement kept me safe as a teen and I’m sticking with it now too.

Started out thinking this was a motivational metaphor, but then it kind of looked like your answer for the woes of the world is personal fitness? Do you, like own a gym or something?

How are you going to pass on one called great value? Would be like buying something that doesn’t have the word best in it when another product does. I’m not dumb.

People referring to this as “mildly” infuriating is what has us in this mess in the first place. What does it take to get you all actually pissed the fuck off!!? 2025 should have you absolutely livid.

As much as I dislike not having savings and something to hand down, this generational wealth crap is a big part of the inequality we are living in now. The more this is normalized the harder it makes it for anyone that doesn’t have it to succeed. As someone that doesn’t have it I’d personally like to see society bend toward making things more accessible for those without the silver spoons.

Posting this as infuriating seems grossly entitled. Many of us in these younger generations won’t have excess to give to the next generation, why should we feel that is owed to us?

You need to shut up and invite me over for dinner.

Yeah, you can’t just throw a grocery Roma into a fruit salad, but what you describe sounds f’n amazing.

Only on their immature state please (scientifically know as grapes)

Welcome to Lemmy, many communities just have one post.

He’s the ceo of a failed space company now. Not the current ceo of Amazon.

I’ve had two 3m systems and have had no problems. I installed sensors in both for monitoring particles in input and output lines. You don’t need to do this, but I think it’s reassuring to see that your tap input is relatively stable and nothing has gone haywire with system contamination or a bad filter etc. My 3m systems were both quite small and maintance has been simple (once a year). I imagine the different systems are all relatively similar. My first home came with the 3m system and I liked it so installed I next home. Afraid I’m not a good comparative source.

I don’t.

As mentioned already you can get it tested for safety. Plenty of water that has the features you described is indeed safe for consumption. But do you really want to? Most of us don’t drink enough water, and if it’s unpleasant you’ll end up drinking a bare minimum. I can’t say enough good things about installing an RO system. It makes water really enjoyable and you’ll know it’s also being cleaned as well. There are plenty of naysayers about these filters, but they are pretty affordable and work incredibly well. Gamechanger for coffee too.

Probably less than you’d spend on bottled water over two or three months, worthwhile investment if tests show it’s drinkable.

Oh absolutely. They are arranged in the trolly before even getting to checkout too but you are querying a crowd on Lemmy that is going to be biased towards programmer / engineer types that tend to function well in their world due to compulsive features often considered pathologic by others.

Read Kahneman and seriously consider not doing it unless you are a flaming optimist that just can’t be held back.

As with anything Google, I wouldn’t use the phrase “100% free” you are paying with your privacy. Google isn’t transcribing your voicemails just for you, they add that data to their collection and with the AI revolution it’s more valuable to them than ever.
