Ogio. I have 5 or 6 bags including some luggage. All have held up for 10s of years. Recently the luggage (7 years old) had a zipper break and Ogio just replaced it no questions asked.

Hole up! Doesn't the existence of clothing imply nudity? Covering the nudity is what clothing is for! I feel like they hadn't thought that through all the way.

Sure, now which pre-existing piece of xmpp based software checks all the feature boxes as noted by both Signal adherents and myself regarding Session? Are you implying the lay user code their own? If that exists you could have just linked to it rather than engage in whatever this is.

I will preface this with, I may be wrong, but as I understand it xmpp is just a protocol. One that, unless it's been revised, imparts no encryption at all. Signal, and Session, are full architectures that enable all of the afrementioned features from my initial post including server and client.

Wow, a bit touchy. I didn't indicate that your world view was problematic. Just US centric. Was not in any way implying some morals to the debate.

Simply stating facts that not all, arguably not even a majority are IT professionals, except perhaps in the US.

Not sure what windows apps you're using but in my 20+ years IT that has absolutely, in most situations, not been the case.

This is pretty US centric thinking. Linux doesn't have licensing. That means it's used extensively in other countries, especially poorer ones. Some countries entire governments use it. It's pretty huge in India too. Africa. Places where common folk, not IT professionals, use it but either have rough or no Internet and aren't communicating in English, especially not GitHub.

I think part of this that I'm not seeing talked about, and perhaps confused for "more tech savvy users", is just the user hostility of Windows.

9 times out of 10 when a Linux app or game crashes I get a verbose error and more often than not one that I can simply copy and paste.

9 times out of 10 when Windows, or much of windows software, crashes it gives some random number or code and in a window I can't even copy and paste out of.

My skill level doesn't change. Linux just isn't user hostile in nature making it easy to search for fixes and report issues. Where as on windows I can't summon the care or effort to manually transcribe the error so I can then do something with it.
