Hey Ash, watcha wavin’?

Website autoplays a video with audio on. Cannot stress enough how that should never ever happen.

This has been the real answer to every “how to do this thing that windows fucks up” article I’ve seen for years now. People need to start writing articles that start with “how to switch to linux” and leave the workaround as a last resort.

This was so obviously a bad idea from day one, I was shocked at how widely adopted these were right away. In retrospect I shouldnt have been surprised but somehow I just always expect people to be smarter.

Yes. One worker represents them all. Unless it doesn’t benefit our argument. Then they don’t.

Its been years since being able to save files on my laptop hard drive for work. Its all onedrive. The company uses it as protection - if the laptop is stolen theres no proprietary data on the drive. It also ensures if my laptop breaks all my work is intact.

The autosave feature is also linked to allowing several people to work on documents simultaneously. This is probably related to forcing onedrive use. You can share links to the files, and being able to edit simultaneously is useful. If you turn off autosave like I tend to do sometimes then when others open the file at the same time you all end up with your own version and cant see what the others are doing.

At home I use linux. I got fed up ages ago with MS stealing my files.

His idea of free speech is child porn, racism, and pro nazi talking points. When it comes to the latter things you have the freedom to talk about these things without censorship from the government, but you also have the freedom to suffer the consequences from the public and fellow citizens, such as being criticized and told to shut the fuck up.

There are noise ordinances in America too. Timing, volume, and enforcement vary by location. This guy probably would not last long before cops stopped him.

I just pick random shit. Pretty sure Steam thinks I’m 113 years old.

Admittedly this did backfire once when a company wanted my birthday to verify my ID to unlock an account. They were surprised I lied and I was surprised people don’t.

I remember trying to sign up for signal and stopped when it wanted my phone number. It’s no longer anonymous at that point. When I talk about it theres always people who come at me about it being secure and whats my attack vector? Well, its not secure. My vector is a desire to be anonymous, and clearly the anonymity this presents is a facade.

I have to admit that growing up on windows made it really confusing this past week when I installed a new hard drive and had to add it to my steam library. I have to create a partition? And “mount” it? Using the terminal and commands??? Then after following tutorials for that I discovered Bazzite comes with a disk manager which makes it much easier.

I’ve always been aware of propaganda, but had never heard of him. Thanks for that. Was an interesting and somewhat horrifying read.

I do everything in my power to avoid ads and develop an informed opinion but there is no escaping the influence of at least some social manipulations. I suppose its easy for me to forget sometimes how much others are influenced by that too.

Yup got that too. Flipped it to Bazzite, and setting up an old laptop on Mint now too.

Holy shit keeping a device longer than 2 years is “device hoarding” now? Thats fucking nuts.

How do you invest so much money in a device like that and not make it last? I’ve got one phone I use for work calls thats 10 years old. People are still shocked I dont even have a case on it.

I am glad to see articles like this. For too long I have seen articles saying “sick of this windows bullshit??” Only to find advice on workarounds in windows, or suggestions to use a console, or a fucking phone app. For too long Linux has been treated like the evil twin locked in the attic, never to be spoken of or acknowledged.

IT IS TIME! TIME TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE RELEASED THE LINUX AND IT WAS THE GOOD CHILD ALL ALONG! BART WAS THE EVIL ONE AFTER ALL! LET IT BE KNOWN!

I think he still owes us money for solving world hunger first

I thought that was a chode

There are lots of ways to block those signals. Paint is a dubious method. Look into Faraday cages. Tin or copper ceilings and roofs found in old homes have a tendency to do this. Thick concrete works pretty well too.

Here’s the thing - it will block all signals. Say goodbye to cell service. Make sure you have wired connections where you need them.

It was a pretty tame comment too. What a bunch of snow flakes.
