It might take a while, but when your PC is working on it you are not and searching for words might be easier ^^

I’m excited to hear how well it works ^^

Long videos or voice notes where you’re usually just looking for a small snippet.

But not as big as th-

I’m sorry

Definitely Rocholas.

I don’t write essays often, but when I do it is because things are bothering me. Specifically, these memes are plenty and basically tell me someone like me doesn’t exist. When this collides with people who say things like “I honestly can’t imagine how you can use windows with all the crap” I get annoyed, and at this point I just wanted to make sure the people who write this know that there’s lots of people like me who have good reasons.

Turns out the world is multi-facetted.

I am one of those people.

I’m sorry but I can’t dedicate the time. Last time I tried to install it for someone else I went down a 5h rabbit hole of finding a driver for a scanner, and I was at the point where I had custom pkg repositories and needed to fix pkg dependency conflicts myself and I don’t have the OS knowledge to do all this, and I didn’t have time because I had to travel back again.

When I tried installing it for myself, I was missing critical software for a variety of things. For example, there’s no good DAW on Linux, and even if there was, lots of VST plugins are only Linux compatible. Things like Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects have no solid alternative to this day for Linux and hence I’m struggling to replace them. Blender is on Linux (obv) but for example render engines usually only come with software for windows.

And then there’s a bunch of things where I’m not sure how compatible they are even if they were to run on Linux. Office uses proprietary file format constraints to lock down their ecosystem. Sucks, but everyone uses it, so I’m stuck. Unreal Engine, lots games, my audio interface, drivers for obscure small devices I need? I just don’t know and I have to dedicate time to researching all of it.

I hope you can see why someone like me has a very hard time just switching over. Yes I can just pull the plug and do it, but I will get no work done for a solid 2 weeks and even after that I will be heavily constrained.

And this all on top of the fact that I regularly set up Linux VMs for specific things which break way too often on regular use. Which also does not spark joy.

I hope you can understand why I’m fine debloating windows with Chris Titus for half an hour and then just enjoying 4 years on it without worrying about all of that is easier.

And believe me, I bought a notebook and will try to go CachyOS x KDE Plasma on that, but it will be an experiment and I have lots of doubt that this can replace my setup.

Guys wtf. You are all angry about something the court literally addresses in his ruling. Please always read the full rulings.

Nice

That is so stupid it makes me mad.

WotC and Hasbro are truly the Dalton’s of tabletop gaming.

(Okay)

Aww they’re growing up to be a gold digger

Imagine dancing and then suddenly: accidental sex!

then they came for the civilians. And I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a civilian.

Yeah Thomas Mann’s poem is still relevant and more people need to read it and understand it.

If you “only follow commands”, you are still implicated in every action. If you are a cop you are literally one of the checks in the system of checks and balances.

It also suggests that boycotts are binary.

I’m sure you can see a noticeable decline in player retention for games from all 3 publishers vs the rest of the industry. And this goes for all of them.

They’re cultured over there.

Lots of love for Starbound, that game is underrated af.

It has “safe seas” now iirc

Tbf “our CEO went off making hitler salutes, dismantling our government and issuing shady deals with rich people” is one hell of an excuse. Probably the best one yet for Tesla.

On a serious node, I feel bad for the engineers who came there to do something great and never got to follow through on it. There’s some geniuses working there that should get more deference.

This is probably the best answer. If everything is truly only running on local network and nothing is exposed with a port through your router, you are very safe.

Most issues get introduced when running a server exposed to the Internet.

That said, on the lowest level, if they want to get you, they will. It’s all a risk analysis. And the more interesting you are to adversarial parties, the higher the chances you’ll get pursued.

If you’re Edward Snowden, 99% your calls and conversations are always on record.

If you’re John Doe, truly only your ISP cares when they get a law enforcement request because you really pushed the envelope.

Trending movies are notoriously bad, because movie studios will really try to rake in the revenue.

On the other hand, ripping music from YouTube, no one cares or is able to track it, so risk is very low.

I feel so sorry for the onion.
