Damn, even as a Linux user I get tired with all these “windows bad” posts. Yes, we all know it sucks. No lemmy user wants to use windows.

“Extra steps for thee, not for me!”

I like it especially on the milk cartons. They really don’t matter if you pour it into something to drink like my coffee.

Nobody should be buying single use bottles anyway if there are alternatives available. Maybe that’s the quiet part - making them less attractive to consumers

Wow. I got played. I did finally switch to just drinking tap water and the number of single use plastic bottles I go through each weak is down by 90% or smth. Just like 2-3 bottles of coke left. I buy some local off-brand stuff cause screw big corporations.

There is usually now a “reject all but essential” button. Well, it’s an improvement.

Something utterly deranged, which is why I care about my privacy. I swear to god if Mozilla starts indexing my mail to train their crappy AI project, I will lose it.

A bunch of them: Kate, Konsole, Dolphin, KCalc, Kdenlive, Okular, Gwenview, Ark, Spectacle, KDEconnect, Elisa and probably a couple more I missed.

Prime works well anywhere tho. I guess you are asking for a GUI to switch between them and/or disable it on a per software basis? For me games via Steam “just work”, they use the Nvidia GPU by default and Lutris has a little switch to enable it. It’s only getting more complicated if you want your Nvidia GPU to fully turn off when not in use.

For my part, I will simply wait until Plasma 6 arrives in the official package sources.

Same. And then I wait a day or two to see if there are any major issues. I do the same for Nvidia updates. I mean I could also just roll back if anything happens, but why bother?

It’s Foe-hammer. Named after some bearded weirdo’s elven sword.

Yes. It’s illegal actually. A Microsoft team has been dispatched and is en route to your place right now to install Win 11 S on all of your devices.

No. Mint is fine for my dad who uses a browser and an email program and nothing else. I’m not gonna recommend it to people who do a lot more with their machines. I can tell them I use Linux and they can ask me anything if they are ever curious about making the switch, but that is it. If they don’t make the conscious decision to use Linux, then they won’t stick with it anyways.

Bro the more popular user space driver isn’t even maintained by AMD at all. I would not be suprised if you tell me you are using amdvlk.

I got an iPad and those are pretty great. A lot of great (paid) apps that work extremely well on tablets. That’s the benefit of having to develop for only so many devices, I guess. Now I don’t use it much these days, but I am definitely gonna try out sideloading. It’s probably gonna take some time to have anything to sideload tho.

We’d love to have you though.

I am gonna guess they have their own ad setup. So they collect the data, setup profiles and whatnot. Then an advertiser can come and pay to use their system for targeted ads. Now does that count as “selling your data”? Not technically I guess. Google does exactly the same thing tho, right? I fail to see how they differ in any way. I suppose you can HOPE that apple cares about its reputation enough to handle your data carefully, but that is about it. Hopes and prayers.

Are you comparing fleeing from war and poverty to moving to some other state because you care about abortions being available?

So? Companies can and have removed features like that at the behest of some dickwad in power. Don’t take anything for granted. We need to heavily regulate them. Or hell take games. Capcom is currently adding DRM to 12+year old games. Garbage like that should be forbidden by law instead of relying on shitstorms to get companies to comply.

The incestual kind.

Well, it’s just capitalism, ain’t it. The goal of the company is to generate as much revenue as possible. That is why we need to regulate the market and everyone who says else is probably a rich asshole who does not care about others.
