they work so hard to make a product that can rival windows vista. i wonder when they will move past it and surpass what we had 20 years ago 😴

honestly it's inevitable if the whole industry is optimizing for "engagement". basically less games with more mtx. you didn't need many devs to create paypig slop

🤖 as last time sir it's still the earnings report.

oh my God another sequel to the biggest franchises with plenty of sequels? what a fierce and independent leader

all that to be locked out of anything higher than 720p if you dare use a privacy friendly operating system 😂 right, I'll be holding onto my money then

desktop icons will only render on 5090 😎

ah i see, a fellow eloquent butt enjoyer

well shiet 😂 seems i got unexpected +80gb storage space again, let's see which indie studio will get a new customer. bye EA

it's a Chinese distro that looks very pretty but pays a heavy performance penalty

it's what happens whenever the wealth has been extracted successfully... no one can afford anything anymore

don't know about op's claims but one time a crack actually affected my computer - in a really goofy way. it just installed a background wallpaper that was advertising for canned tuna, all in Russian 😂 the brand didn't even exist where i lived. also i could easily reset the background, so it wasn't malicious at all.

bro the problem is tomorrow's dream is probably a ww1 trench again, you don't get to pick the nice ones 😂

I love how everyone understands the issue wrong. It's not about being on Windows or Linux. It's about the ecosystem that is common place and people are used to on Windows or Linux. On windows it's accepted that every stupid anticheat can drop its filthy paws into ring 0 and normies don't mind. Linux has a fostered a less clueless community, but ultimately it's a reminder to keep vigilant and strive for pure and well documented open source with the correct permissions.

BSODs won't come from userspace software

that's true but i think compared to most other consoles nowadays it goes a very sustainable path. valve does nothing to prevent you from running gog games, which are true digital ownership at least. i know physical media are the most tangible option in the moment, but in the long run blurays for example actually have a limited lifespan

😍 we love you too dude

i started with Ubuntu. i think it's fair to respect the distro that works towards getting any rando started

it's a good os. on the other hand everytime i learned anything in windows it would get invalidated by new ux and new bugs...

respectable level of hoarding 🏅

I'll chime in with a weird take: this is a privacy community, we are united in a sense of defending our peaceful and unproblematic browsing on the internet and sending messages to friends from lunatics who seem to want everyone treated with the suspicion of highest criminal activity. the article posted describes a "privacy infringement" onto someone who not only has already broken the rule, but strongly publicized it by making people have to smell it. the perpetrators didn't even have an expectation of privacy, so the premise is ridiculous.

I'll say it like this: if the tv detects nicotine patches on someone's skin, then i pick up the torches and pitchforks.

bro is ranking up heroes of the storm and needs you to not toss around these truthbombs ☠️
