  • UnitedHealthcare Posted A Tribute To Slain CEO On Facebook — And 90,000 People Reacted With The Same Emoji

    Jump

  • As far as I’m concerned people like this are worse than Osama Bin Laden, so if you were dunking on him dying then why should this be any different? Because what he did was legal? At least Bin Laden had an ideology; he thought he was the goodie, no matter how fucked up that was. This guy profited from people’s death and suffering.

  • I think many people in here need to realise that most people don’t care about their OS, or Copilot or Recall or anything like that. I don’t know what the reason is for this but most people don’t change their OS.

  • I don’t think many people are changing OSs on their laptops, but you may be right about them ditching laptops altogether. 15 years everybody had a computer, now many people just get by with a phone.

  • MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying

    Jump

  • I was reading about this on the BBC feed and it looked like the Conservatives (right wing) were more in favour of this than Labour or Lib Dems(left wing). Not what I was expecting. Most of them seemed to take issue with the legal protections in place to stop people being coerced into ending their lives but some also seemed to be prioritising the family over the terminally ill.

  • Australia bans social media for under 16s

  • Now ban everyone else (except Lemmy of course).

  • Tbf, raw milk is delicious.

  • Linux Mint and Steam

    Jump

  • Can’t really add anything regarding linking the Steam libraries as I just removed all my games from Windows and downloaded them in Linux instead. I used ProtonUp for managing my Proton versions and I started up Cyberpunk using ProtonGE 13, and it runs the same as it does in Windows. I’ve got the GOG version and I’m using Heroic Launcher but I don’t think that’ll make a difference.

    Have you got anything to work using that linked library? Maybe try just installing it locally.

  • Windows VS Linux (part 2)

    Jump

  • But this is the classic Linux user mentality; Linux shouldn’t get easier, users should get smarter.

    If computers can be easier to use then why should people instead sacrifice loads of time learning how to operate them? Most people have other things to be getting on with.

  • Is there a generation of gaming you're just not nostalgic for?

    Jump

  • Anything pre-NES era and PlayStation. I had a ZX Spectrum, which was a British console that was around in the 80s. It had lots of fun games which were plentiful and cheap, they’d only be a couple of quid each. But most of them were just really basic versions of what we have now and I have no intention of getting my old machine out to play them.

    I’m not nostalgic for the PlayStation because I always felt like the only audiences it catered for were the Japanese and people who liked all that money-grabbing type of stuff, like FIFA. Neither of those were for me.

  • Is there an age where you decide to just 'let it go'?

    Jump

  • Well most people get a bit like this after they marry. Are you talking about giving up on finding romance? You can still do it when you’re older but everyone’s gonna be divorced with a kid.

    You shouldn’t ever really give up on your health, as you get older you’re gonna need it more and more.

  • Windows VS Linux (part 2)

    Jump

  • Let’s not cherrypick scenarios to try and pretend Linux is easier than Windows. Most normal people are nervous interacting with a GUI pop-up that gives them two options, never mind putting them into a terminal window where they could seriously fuck up their machine. What about clicking the download link on a webpage, clicking next a few times and having them software on your machine, compared to having to build something from GitHub (how many people here have never had to do that?).

  • Building a new home server

    Jump

  • I don’t know half that software you’re talking about running but I don’t find home servers really need to be that powerful. Companies like Dell and Lenovo have historically done cash back offers on small tower servers. I’m still running a Dell T20 I got like 10 years ago. Maybe keep an eye out for something like that if you’re not in a rush. I only ended up paying about £100 for mine.

  • Windows VS Linux

    Jump

  • I had to install Windows 11 on something a few weeks ago so I decided to do it without an account, it was nowhere near as difficult to do it as this sub would lead you to believe. Pressed a key combination to load up the command prompt then typed in a relatively short command. The GUI restarted and that was it.

  • Upgrade to Freedom! The Switch from Windows 10

    Jump

  • I use it at home just because I wanted to try something different on my laptop, I really don’t understand what some people love about it so much. It’s bot terrible or anything, I just find it a bit clunky and there’s nothing remarkably good.

  • How some Texas parents and historians say a new state curriculum glosses over slavery and racism

    Jump

  • How do they teach the US emerging as a world power? I can kind of imagine them saying it just happened because they’re cleverer and harder working.

  • What search engine should I use?

    Jump

  • I also use DuckDuckGo. If I find I’m not seeing the results I want i just add !g anywhere and the search gets sent over to Google, though I don’t find I need to do that very often.

  • Linux is the best it’s ever been but it’s still too complicated for normal people. Most people don’t even know what a VM or a driver is. I would disagree that drivers are no more of an issue on Linux than Windows. You can plug upwards of 99% of devices into Windows and they’ll just work. Barely and vendors provide support for Linux, not that that’s the fault of anyone really. I can understand why vendors don’t want to commit resources and Linux can’t have built in support for everything.

  • You guys have funding?

  • I have no idea why I sub to this.
