The other day it rewrote a registry key that prevented these pop ups.

This is what drove me away. There are like 7 people that figured out how to make these pop-ups disappear and Microsoft invested money to "patch" that "error" to ensure they were forced to continue seeing these ads.

Why would they do that when people use this one all the same?

Plenty of other places to upload images. I think catbox.moe is a popular one.

The poor UI and lack of polish has been a big problem in design communities for a long time

I dunno what to tell you except that it's not a problem now.

For all the deserved shit that Windows gets, it "just works" without ever needing to touch config or a terminal.

Most people don't need to use anything other than a browser, which works fine.

I can't see Reddit anymore

A nice looking UI with good fonts, and a clean interface.

Pretty much anything beats Windows in that regard.

The ability to run random Windows applications with minimal fuss.

I mean if you REALLY can't find a FOSS alternative, Bottles has been extremely successful and easy for me...

All without needing to use the terminal

This is the biggest hangup for me. Even if there is a GUI, most instructions will send you into the terminal nonetheless.

Better question is "why not"?

If you try googling any of this, you will find a shit ton of christian cope

"Cope" is basically the foundation of most religions.

Mostly because 90% of what's in The Bible is gobblederemoved, twisted and contorted by a wide variety of opportunistic con men over the course of thousands of years, written in such a vague way as to easily be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean.

Similar to the way Trump speaks in vague generalities and word salad, and people hear whatever they want to hear, which of course leads to massive problems when you're the leader or aspiring leader of the free world.

Coming at him with a personal insult is not the way to go about this.

The correct way is to point out that most Christmas traditions are not rooted in Christianity, but in paganism.

 

Tried to use OSMAnd last week to navigate around on vacation. For some reason it seems to be incapable of searching for house numbers, which is an instant dealbreaker. I'm very confused as to how or why this is a thing on such a mature product.

I was able to share a location from GMaps WV over to it to get navigation working, and from there the navigation was awesome!

Currently also testing Magic Earth and Organic Maps but I'm very interested to hear from those with more experience.
