I second this motion

This is the way… even better, have no Meta accounts of any kind

something is wrong. I have a gaming rig I also use for work, it has 16GB on it and I have never strugled running anything

I dont know what you mean by a lot but i normally have 10 sites opened (including ms 365 garbage), teams, omnissa client, a few specs usually PDFs, signal, deezer all running on Hyprland and it runs smooth like butter

what do you mean? not working well with 16 gb??

many Linux distros are optimized to use as much available RAM as possible, free RAM is wasted RAM

Most would still run with a lot less anyway

some yes, I’m currently using hyde for hyprland and I’ve been tinkering with almost every script that holds the project together

Man Plex when fully enshitified FAST!

Well, the truth of that is quite a bit different than how you put it, and it’s also more carrot than stick.

True, I misremembered… however, this is anti-competitive practice 101 anyway

What Microsoft did surely sucked for everyone, but fortunately, we live in a world where their recent efforts to do similar things aren’t working.

But the fact they keep trying these anti-competitive strategies and have no consequences for them is a problem. We cannot rely on “it didn’t work for them this time” as if that is a solution because next time it would work for them and then we are all fucked for another few decades

I learnt most of the story from this book Renegades of the Empire

The story is summarized here: https://gist.github.com/kirkegaard/1055336

It’s all about how DirectX/Direct3D was launching and competing with OpenGL (the open standard).

In a nutshell, MS literally ported games for free to Windows (Doom95 being the flagship example) and/or subsidized the development of games for Direct3D so there would be no appetite for OpenGL.

This is equivalent to Amazon or Walmart selling their stuff at a loss until all competitors go bankrupt

when Windows “challenges” others, they don’t compete on merit… it’s easier to blackmail game developers by threatening to kick them out of Windows / Xbox platforms if they develop for Linux… this is how we ended up with “windows is the only os for gaming” back in the 90s

we used to think this was a joke based on wild exaggeration… then you elected trump twice

This is basigally the summary of my life and now I think Ido have ADHD

Transparency mode was a game changer for me

that’s an irrationally high trust in the flimsy lid

added, best of luck with the rest of the development

I don’t disagree with the premise. I may disagree encrypted hard drive by default a sensible choice

such a “hack” would only work in a poorly written tv show

an unencrypted drive is like being able to look into a bank though a window, not ideal but things of value could/should/would still be in a safe or somewhere else completely

Almost no Linux distro has disk encryption turned on by default (PopOS being the major exception).

it’s usually an option in the guided disk partition

If an unencrypted computer is now unacceptable on Android, then it should be on Linux too. No excuses.

Linux is about choice, not whatever someone else thinks it’s acceptable
