Again, you’re in the Linux memes sub. Normie knowledge is getting you an enjoyable Linux experience no matter how you slice it. If we are talking about difficulty curve of installing an OS, you are already eliminating all the normies.

Oh so you’re bad at using computers. Got it. I can have windows 11 without telemetry in 10 minutes and with a local user profile instead of a Microsoft account. This argument about what you were able to do and how long it took you doesn’t make you look cool or smart. It makes you look like you have no idea what you’re doing.

I do it every day for work. You must be doing something wrong.

How often are you installing windows? I deploy probably 7-8 a week. I can have an image usable without telemetry in 10 minutes.

Just learn how to install windows the way you want it to be just like you learn the best way to install a distro. Debloated windows takes minutes to install and takes so little actual effort if you know what you’re doing.

You’re in the Linux memes sub. Linux users are the ultimate example of special knowledge PC users…

Build your installer with Rufus and bypass most of the Oobe. Then it’s literally a few clicks. You can be at the windows 11 desktop in 10 minutes from USB boot if you know what you’re doing. And if you argue that having to know what you’re doing makes it harder… Linux…

Most gaming PCs are pre built. Boutiques have been a business for decades. And every major PC OEM has a gaming division.pc building is niche.

Setting up a local user account only is easy. Shift+f10 to open command prompt and then run OOBE\BYPASSNRO and then you can run the setup with zero network requirements and zero account requirements.

Thank me later

Oh please, we spend an hour fucking around in a new Linux install to get things the way we like them too.

The modern porn industry is much more independent than it used to be. Most creators control and own their content and choose where it gets uploaded initially. In the past, the porn business was absolutely abusive to their stars but I think it’s much less the case these days. Filmmakers have to fight for actors because if they don’t treat them well or pay them their worth, they’ll just post their own content directly to their fans. I’m sure there are still huge negatives but I just don’t think it’s as bad as it once was and I certainly don’t think the porn industry is something to be upset about these days.

I think that’s fine. The whole point of getting TSMC to start manufacturing in the US was to ensure that Taiwan wasn’t the only place making the chips the world is using considering China has been actively threatening to take Taiwan back for decades. If TSMC can be sustainable in the US and other countries, even if Taiwan falls off the map, the technology is not China’s alone. If I were TSMC, I would be trying to build plants in Australia and in Europe and South America to diversify and secure preservation should worse come to worst.

Every finite range has 2 limits. A bottom limit and a top limit.

There’s a lot of stuff everyone has that they don’t need. What’s your point? Are you going to go vegan? because technically you don’t need meat. Are you going to stop driving an automatic transmission? Because you don’t need that. Oh, social media (Lemmy included), you definitely don’t need that.

Yes but that isn’t changed by the amount of data used. There is no cost to supply per kb supplied, only a cost to maintain the equipment that governs the speed of the connection.

Here’s an analog example. If the city you lived in started charging you more for the water to come into your house faster as well as charging you for the amount of water you use. Obviously you should pay for the amount of a finite resource you use but the speed at which you acquired that resource should be limited only by the physics of the water transportation system.

Data on the other hand, is not a finite resource. There is no limit to the amount of data one can acquire given endless time and energy. So the only way to bill for that becomes the speed at which you acquire the data. You pay for the data speed and that funds the infrastructure to supply that speed indefinitely. End of story. The only reason data caps exist is that they want to charge more money for you to use less bandwidth so they can sell that bandwidth to other people. When what should really happen is, they should invest in higher bandwidth capacity and sell that to their customers to return on that investment.

Either supply me infinite speed and bill me for the amount of data used or supply me infinite data and bill me for the bandwidth. Not both.

TS has always, and I do mean always, been garbage.

I think this could be better for reading but harder for writing. Like you could write a script that converts between this and the easier to write way if you are working on a project with others.

I won’t claim to be an expert on system architecture. But as far as I understand, the Wii u is running much more demanding software than the 3ds. The difference is that the 3ds is an arm processor and the Wii u is a much older power PC architecture. For native playback, it would require some serious footwork to develop a compatibility layer. For emulation, it might take a savant. You’ll see tons of shmoes that know no more than I do claiming it will never be possible but you can emulate new and snes on a Gameboy advance. That’s saying even less about the quality or accuracy of Desai’s emulation.

Your best bet is probably moonlight streaming citra from a laptop or something similar.

I wasn’t saying to use Netflix that doesn’t even make sense. I was saying that’s the same price as a Netflix subscription…
