I agree on Cyberpunk, though I still played like 20hrs.

I finished a mission and just realised I couldn’t be bothered driving to the next one and blah blah blah and just closed the game for the final time right then.

First time I’ve been playing a game and that had happened.

I guess the game might still be worth it’s sale price at 50% off if you can get 20 hours out of it, but it’s still disappointing in my eyes that It wasn’t able to keep me engaged.

Exactly?..

Linux can run on macbooks, you can probably look up the model online and see if it has good support. I used to run debian on a macbook, though that macbook was from 2013 or something like that.

On the other hand, if you can sell your macbook and get more than a good thinkpad (for your use) is selling for, I would do that.

You make it sounds like a good thing; people will wont have microslops os by default… they may pick loonix!!! (this comment is brought to you by me)

Wait im dumb miceoslip WILL HAVE AGE ASSURANCE!!! GET out everyone will you can

Hmmm… similar to how Aurora store lets you use one of their google accounts to download from play store. Sounds like a good idea for alt clients (though idk if that involves expensive proxying to avoid passing around tokens so maybe not feasible).

The real impossibility is the work force, as far as my knowledge is knowledged from a while back.

Also if they did move 40% of production to the US, I can’t personally see that meaning the US would drop taiwan and let china take it. If you think about that for 1 second longer, you think they’d surrender 60% to china? If I had the best chips, I wouldn’t let anyone else get anywhere near them, lest they steal the secret recipe. (Just my thoughts on the matter).

(p.s. im not smart so maybe im wrong?)

I’m not gonna have an opinion, but I’d like to say that it sounds harsh to exclude someone based on other people being weird, no?

I don’t know if you need a male-only space or a normal-person space (probably the latter).

That being said, I could maybe see how people may not want to make certain jokes in front of certain people, but if youre just having fun and youre not racist or something um idk

ISP will detect it and typically they will send you a letter saying “we know you downloaded _____ illegally, if we catch you again, we will cancel your service”.

It’s actually the studios that own the content you are torrenting that will seed the torrent and then collect a list of all IP addresses that connect to them, then they ask your ISP to shut your internet off.

You ISP doesn’t actually care if you torrent, because if they cancel your internet they lose out on money.

This doesn’t make sense. Some apps require google services, so you can’t get around that, assuming the app is very important to you (best you can do is use it only in a separate profile or just give in and do it on your main, its sandboxed after all).

I agree with the play store part though, Aurora Store is much better (I wouldn’t use aptoide or apkmirror personally, especially when Aurora exists).

Good recommendation. Good to remember that each app has its own sandbox so for most scenarios you are all set anyways (except running google play in general you may be against).

An excellent middle ground, if preferred, would be your main profile with everything that works anonymously and without google, etc, then a second profile that is not so anonymous (ie banking, google maps, etc).

You also likely need your password manager app in both profiles.

p.s. if you also use fingerprint (or any biometric) unlock, remember you can hold the power button to go into lockdown if you ever have a security threat (ie think you might be arrested or robbed or whatever like that). This disables biometrics and requires your pin. (i believe you should do this even if you use only a pin since it takes your phone into a BFU state, which you can google more about if interested).

Pretty annoying because (don’t forget) people in europe are still getting security patches for win10 btw. On each security patch they are specifically ticking “NOT US OR ANYWHERE ELSE” but instead “only eu”.

buddy who has to support Mint installs for work

The “work” part is probably why you have such a bad view of Mint. It could be any OS, but at work there would be a horror story every day (because theres a lot of people, most cant use computers, etc).

The ease of use and not having it break randomly is why you don’t use Arch for normal people who just need to get stuff done.

I have bad eye sight, but also 8k probably never need to be a thing on a tv, more impressive for stuff thats closer to our eyes like VR headsets probably.

I’m sure the encryption was disabled post meta buyout IT JUST MAKES SENSE!

For anyone else, fstab is probably your friend.

If you can afford it

It’s cheaper, no? You just go on ebay or any other used marketplace.

I know it’s a slightly higher initial cost (depending on the phone), but phones last years, you’ll be saving way more over those years.

That’s true, reading your comment reminded me of SUBURBIA!!! Definitely not easy to fix that.

Certainly a good place to start with better zoning as you say.

I guess it’s bound to happen when you gotta pay your bills, but use of AI is lowering your income from your open source work (if any).

Huh? How?

I don’t like tailwind personally, but it is just CSS classes.

When you make a website, you can sometimes end up with your own personal library of classnames (like what tailwind is).

Tailwind just goes to the extreme by making you only use classnames and never making your own library of css again.
