  • Likely something to do with English being a secondary language to the vast majority of the world...

  • I love how in a world where we banned straws we are somehow OK with Microsoft pushing people to recycle their old but otherwise adequate system for what, to the vast majority of people, are some paper thin security advantages.

    Anybody who asks me about Windows 10's EOL date will be introduced to the option of using Linux before i'll help them select a replacement system. Especially if they literally only use a browser there really is no reason to go through hoops or spend money to stick with Windows.

  • That was before Steam Deck and Proton, though, so I should probably test it all again.

    The steam deck is exactly what convinced me to give Linux a whirl on my main gaming PC again and honestly I regret not making this move way earlier.

    Everything that runs on a steam deck should run on any Linux PC. This list of games recently crossed 18k.

    So far I have zero regrets, performance of the games i've played to date is on par with what I was seeing on Windows, even with Nvidia's notoriously bad reputation for Linux support.

    Proton is an absolutely bonkers development and Valve's doing legendary work with it's push for Linux.

    I do have to end this by saying I don't do online gaming so I have not had to deal with anti-cheat bullshit that doesn't want to work on anything that's not Windows and 99.9 percent of my games exist in either Steam or GOG. (the latter of which is supported on Linux with the Heroic launcher)

    The way it's looking now, I consider the chance of me migrating back to Windows on my private machines near zero. Games were the only thing keeping me on windows privately.

  • Government needs to fully migrate to open source. Instead of re-inventing the wheel contribute to existing projects.

  • European alternatives to Google's Gmail

  • Proton is fairly far in delivering a polished unified experience in commonly used internet services, including mail + calendar, password manager, file/photo storage and vpn services.

  • German national with U.S. green card detained at ICE facility, family says

    Jump

  • Yeah we cancelled any plans we had for a US visit. Not taking any risks with those action eager ICE pricks with my wife being from Mexico.

    We'll revisit that prospect if and when this hellish insanity dies down.

    I wonder if there's any data on tourism decline since cheeto started flailing his proverbial axe around blindly.

  • Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

    Jump

  • Mark is a smart guy, I'm sure he walks great big circles around anything political, at least publicly.

    His audience is everybody, aligning publicly with any kind of political flow is generally a bad idea if you want that to stay that way, because the only thing you'll likely achieve is shrinking your potential audience.

    I would also be careful with the assumption that all conservatives agree with what's currently happening.

  • He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.

    Jump

  • Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa but had applied for legal residency.

    I have to assume this guy was aware of this. So if you vote to have "illegals" deported, how is this not exactly what you voted for?

    They really don't like having to think about things do they?

    I wonder if he told at all her he votes for people that want her gone.

  • Elon Musk Also Has a Problem with Wikipedia

    Jump

  • Can't shake the feeling Musk doesn't like Wikipedia because Musk only likes facts he can use.

  • I remember elon saying something along the lines of his camera system being just as good and they thusly don't need to employ things like LIDAR.

  • Tech Execs Are Pushing Trump to Build ‘Freedom Cities’ Run by Corporations

    Jump

  • This reads like an email or news message you find on random computers in dystopian computer games like Deus Ex or Cyberpunk 2077.

  • I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.

    Jump

  • Money probably really doesn't make you happy. Most of the things that make me happy have nothing to do with me being able to buy crap I don't need.

    But that dumb sentiment hides the fact that a lack of money can definitely make you miserable.

    Only the people that never had stress over dentist of vet bills will suggest money is somehow not a massive factor in determining your quality of life in a capitalist society.

  • Fuck this village

    Jump

  • Yeah. For single parents and such maybe. But mostly I want to get back to where you can just live off of one FT income so this whole problem doesn't exist.

  • Fuck this village

    Jump

  • This gives me the same vibe as all those "feelgood" stories about communities coming together to pay for some valued member's back surgery or cancer treatment or something.

    It's nice people do that, but what about people that are less liked, and how is it that we have so much wealth going around, and yet extremely basic things like healthcare are still factors people need to concern themselves with being able to afford?

  • Musk blames Ukrainians for cyberattack on X. Experts aren’t convinced.

    Jump

  • Nobody that is even vagualy familiair with how internet works knows Elon can't know where the attack is coming from. Cirtainly not so quickly.

    Even if somebody only leveraged their botnet in Ukraine it could be his next door neighbour beeing the actual puppetmaster.

    Origin IP's mean zilch.

    But ofcourse the people to whom he is Jesus himself will just gobble that conjecture up like it's mama's paella.

  • Musk melts down as Tesla stock price plunges

    Jump

  • So we can add "illegal" to the list of words Trump uses but doesn't know the meaning of.

  • uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store

    Jump

  • The best option here is to just tank Chrome's market share instead of making something that's obviously not ideal, work.

  • Zouden jullie producten uit de VS boykotteren?

    Jump

  • Scherp. Ook die is vervangen. Maar dingen opzoeken op internet na 20 jaar geen "googlen" meer noemen gaat nog wel even wat tijd overheen ben ik bang.

  • Kabinet wil dat Nederlanders een noodpakket voor 72 uur in huis hebben

    Jump

  • Die zijn zeker goed om te hebben, maar ik zou eens beginnen met een jerrycannetje (pp) water die je gewoon ergens hebt staan... als je dat elke 4 of 5 maanden ververst ben je volgens mij prima veilig en heb je voor ruim een week schoon en veilig drinkwater.

    Je moet toch ergens water hebben om in beginsel te reinigen, en om nou gelijk je regenton in te duiken omdat je pilletjes hebt...
