As a matter of general principle, I agree with you. That said, I never opt in to writing public reviews on store websites to begin with, both because I don’t care to give free labor to for-profit corporations, and more importantly, because disclosing my consumer preferences is already a privacy risk in and of itself.
I don’t care about benchmarks; I care about compatibility and errors. The specs that would matter to me would be things like CPU architecture, which team made the GPU, and which Linux distro they’re running. Maybe number of monitors/resolution/framerate/use of freesync or framegen, too, since that can affect glitches.
GUIs are great for ad-hoc stuff, but fail when you need a precise record of what you did, e.g. to be able to repeat or automate it.
Man, I miss calling it “getting Slashdotted.”
I’ve been wanting to watch the Olympics, but have so far failed because my previous VPN + Canadian coverage strategy doesn’t work (CBC requires an account now) and I can’t find my TV remote to switch the input from my set-top box to the antenna.
While we’re reporting issues, here’s two more:
I hate to say it (bc Microsoft), but you should’ve used Bing so you’d get a Klingon translation.
I buy TPLink gear, but only because I check to make sure it can be flashed with OpenWRT beforehand. I may not actually do that (my router is running it, but my PoE access points aren’t yet), but I make damn sure I can.
(Also, I almost bought Kasa smart plugs, then checked to see whether they could run ESPHome or Tasmota and picked a different brand instead. You always have to check, every single time!)
I enjoy how Gentoo is listed in both chad and schizo tiers.
My typical Linux installation workflow:
Failing to have graphics drivers for my gaming PC with a GPU I bought the day it launched is one thing, but Debian also failed to have WiFi drivers for the cheap N100 NUCs I bought for my kids the other day – with wifi hardware that’d been out for multiple years at this point – and that’s just ridiculous.
Kubuntu annoys me with Snaps, but it also Just Works in a way Debian unfortunately doesn’t.
Flock is a terrorist organization.
If I had a nickel for every time Google violated someone’s privacy, I’d be richer than Elon Musk.
Expanding on what others have answered, Trump is extremely suggestible due to dementia. He literally just agrees with whoever told him something last because he can’t think on his own anymore.
That’s why it’s even more vital to get rid of fascist advisors like Steven Miller than it is to get rid of Trump himself.
False accusations mean nothing.
there is always going to be cut content
Or said another way, not having cut content means they released their first rough draft instead of editing and refining it.
Two free (major) updates: 1.5 and 1.6 both came out after Haunted Chocolatier was announced.
At this point, I think the vast majority of performance issues would be caused by the browser itself trying to render overcomplicated javascript-infested pages, not the distro or DE. Pick any distro you want, but use a lightweight browser.
You shouldn’t need to run make as root, except maybe for make install.
Dang it, yet another boycott I can’t participate in because I already wasn’t buying the thing in the first place.
