I build my own systems. And I dont know what y’all are smoking but a typical windows installation has the complexity of opening a jar of pickles. Next next yes and away we go.
Linux on the other hand…
Now, if you want to debloat and install without a ms account then yes. But then… Really… Who does that? (i mean of the typical windows users
Hans… Are we… Are we the baddies?
Nobody of the normal populace knew. Do you really think the jews would get on those trains without putting up a real fight? Bringing their belongings, jewellery in suitcases to Dachau, Auschwitz?
Does that sound like actions of someone who knew what was going to happen?
Yes, a lot of people knew what was going on. A lot of people, more people, didn’t know shit. The problem was not that. The problem was that they didn’t care.
No. Lemmy posts are always left leaning. There is no right and no center. Thats disheartening. Next to that most communities are too small so no viable discussions follow. Most communities die in months.
Then again, reddit.com doesnt exist anymore because some schmucks have taken over, resulting in obtrusive ads, profiling and tracking.
I dont post on reddit anymore. Still follow some subs though because they just dont have an alternative.
I went from 1 source (reddit) to several(lemmy, mastodon, 4chan, 9gag). And still it feels empty. Mostly because while some memes are nice, 4chan is filled with morons and 9gag… That’s a “racist app” according to its own users. But it doesn’t stop there. A lot of posts there are just vile. Not just right wing nut job, no, they are worse. And masto is mostly the same as lemmy.
I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.
So many games are lost in time due to this.
My favourite game off all time, Homeworld, got remastered years ago. Its fantastic follow-up, cataclysm could not be included in the renaster. The reason? Lost source code. No backups, studio got bought, diveded, merged, shut down and nobody thoight it prudent to safeguard that what they bought; the code and ip.
It happens. Often.
Which is bullshit. As a sysadmin i was battling with low level tcp/Ip filters and other shit since at least WinXP. And probably nt4sp3.
I’ve been saying that antimalware is worse or at least the same as the stuff it tries to protect against for decades. Invisible cpu cycles. Hidden disk io. Tcp filters. Maxing out your network connection trying to access every resource on your network. Assraping SNMP. Blocking network access when the license expires. (mcafee) criplling java code. (decompressing every jar known to man)
And most of this is still true. Is your pc slow or hanging without any visible reason? Chances are defender is doing some ultra secret very hush hush antimalware shit.
I always disabled everything on my own systems on my own private lan and did ferocious edge protection, log reporting and scanning everything from one node.
Then came ransomware. And the risk of running without on local nodes just became too big.
Anyway This has been an issue since forever. If anything it became less worse as of 09 because everybody got access to documentation so they finally learned what NOT to do.
In other news, water is wet. I only see FUD here.
Shut up. You’re paying for a service and still get almost 50% ads?
Why? How? Which? And do we in the EU also have this awaiting in our future?
There is stuff worth pirating, stuff which can’t be found through other means or is way overpriced. Stuff like old movies or impossible to legally gather roms.
For all others: “convenience is king.”
And you’re smart to not pirate software. The. “no illegal software” rule has saved me many times.
Yeah, no.
The hunt is only fun if you’ve got time to spare.
Throw in a spouse, kids, good but demanding job, a place to live, social obligations, detoriating (geriatric) parents, and you’re so happy you can just mash one single button and your favourite track, game or series starts to play.
That’s the reason why people stop pirating. Time.
When time is not (yet) your most precious resource you can see the fun in anything. Even virus scanning.
Mine isn’t impressed with stuff like that. It’s been like that since we’re together. It’s the normal.
These days she just rolls her eyes when another new thing gets automated.
Pretty much a thing in NL and afaik also BE.

T mobile NL, 5G capped at 22GB. Cost: 20 euro.
35 euro in NL wl give you t mobile unlimited which is capped at 15 GB per day. Other providers charge more or less the same.
@home internet 1up/down GB fiber 45 euro. No datacap.
In this case :wq does not sound right.
I would go with :q! (or :qa!)
Because death always fucks up all your plans.
In your car, your TV, your network, your dns…
Everywhere.
Looks at the top of the line Samsung Odessey 49"/54" ultrawide monitor. Looks at specs. Reread this comment.
Uhuh
