Who is upvoting this shit?

This shit is starting to sound like the Donald or extremist groups

Wtf? What’s with all these weird extremist posts.

I’ve been using Linux for approximately 20-25 years.

If we’re talking about what one thing steam does well? Gaming!

It handles dependencies, and it makes windows games transparent to Linux users (you don’t even know it’s being emulated). In fact, from my understanding, some games run better than in windows in some cases

If you’re using controllers, steam input also makes games a lot more playable.

If we’re talking about the Unix philosophy though, what one thing does the Linux kernel do?

The Unix philosophy better targets daemons then user facing apps. In fact, if you look at xorg/xfree, one could argue it is one thing. But if you break it down into a different perspective, it could mean many things

Why would you avoid steam 😂

It is popular for a reason and Linux on desktop would be even more dead if it wasn’t for them (and proton)

Ops point is that he watches Murdoch media, and they didnt mention anything.

That’s why trump won. He consumed the news cycle with his temper tantrums whilst the adults were out working

A quick Google however has lots of lists of things he accomplished https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046

For civilians, posting revenge porn like mtg did during congressional hearings would be highly illegal and any judge would take that into consideration. Judges are a lot more lenient than people think and he broke the law, but he is the only one who ever had Congress use revenge porn on…

It is also crazy they spent millions investigating Hunter Biden because they found nothing on Biden himself

If MTG didn’t fiddle herself over Hunter every night and post his dick pics everywhere, sure, Biden shouldnt have done it

But, they did.

The harsh reality is, that Biden should be able to sue for damages, but he can’t do that

Another point is that VPN providers are likely to be a target for authorities. So you’re actually potentially more likely to get monitored by police

There is also the risk that the owners of a VPN provider might change hands at any time, or get taken over by police

Finally, there is a possibility that the VPN provider might get hacked and then all your traffic is getting monitored

They’re basically useful for geo blocking and unprotected public wifi networks, bad ISPs or connecting to your home system.

But they don’t automatically make you safe

So?

This is likely a patch which blocks certain kernel hooks

It’s actually good for both Linux and Windows gaming ultimately because maybe Ubisoft will stop doing stupid anti piracy or anti cheating things that can break your system

My gym took $2 from everyone’s account in a once off for charity unless you opted out.

And then bragged about all the money they raised in their marketing.

Yeah, by illegally stealing it from members

They also like trying to sabotage the economy when they’re not in charge by telling others it’s shit … and there is evidence trump tried to delay deals last election

Don’t be surprised if he did the same to undermine Biden this time

Trump whipped Mexico really well into paying for that wall.

Trump just talks a bunch of shit lol. That’s actually why he won. Because he promised everything to everyone. He doesn’t have any real plans other than those related to genitals and immigrants. He never backs it up with any evidence either

Trump negotiated really well with Foxconn too. Remember that 10 billion factory they were gonna build thanks to Trump?

In fact, I’m actually willing to bet petrol prices and power prices will increase too. Because suddenly, batteries and solar have less competition and even if manufacturered in US, they can raise their prices

It’s just really dumb 😂

Each popularity-contest host is identified by a random 128bit uuid (MY_HOSTID in /etc/popularity-contest.conf). This uuid is used to track submissions issued by the same host. It should be kept secret.

Oh, and by default, IP, unless usetor is enabled

A machine I’d is just a hash too

Can you explain to me how you track Mac address, serial numbers over the internet.

Just fyi, the backend project I made 20 years ago was hardware related. There’s potential reasons to grab this info…

But, if it is a concern, I’m sure they’d welcome submissions to improve the parsing and allow things to be filtered.

In fact, popcon could be used for digital fingerprinting technically

In all likelihood, op never spoke to the manjaro developers either

Don’t like it, don’t opt in

Even Debian has popcon

There are lots of benefits for developers to gather telemetry.

Don’t like that? Fork and do your own distro (presumably though you don’t contribute anything to open source, so id expect such people to simply whine and get angry at contributors)

The biggest issue with Linux at the moment isn’t the os. It’s the community, and because of that, they keep scaring off developers, and ironically many developers only stick around now because they’re hired by a large company

I’ve seen so many developers (including myself), who got smashed by the community so we just gave up

It has definitely gotten better though (vastly) in the past 20 years

People use steam because it’s good service, and a good product.

In fact, they also gave Linux a boost

They also have things like cloud saving

Developers use them because apparently they have some awesome features too for things like multiplayer and such and a great API

I don’t see the point. It’s like twitter. Never saw the point of that either instead of lemmy or Reddit honestly

Hopefully we get DP over USBC soon on the m2 Mac studios

Found the MAGA voter… Btw, your mates won’t see this post online… So not sure why you’re trying to impress them still? You can act normal :)
