Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.
Isn't that pretty much a thing of the past? This meme is maybe true for Facebook, but most sub 40 people don't use that anyway and the "public diary" days are also pretty over. Sure, you can stitch together a lot from geolocating Instagram posts and LinkedIn information, but it's not like it's the searchable database Facebook was in 2012.
Mac owners have money? more like had money
The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich
And then there are the (multiplayer) gamers. It's great that I can play SO many more offline/single player games than I used to on Linux, but I can't help if the ones I like to play are all unsupported (and probably will be for a looong time).
I would have switched to Linux about 20 years ago if it was possible, but unfortunately, developing exploit free, stable anti cheats for competitive multiplayers on multiple OS's is a nightmare, and I get why most developers resort to picking the currently most widely used one. It's just a shame because otherwise I prefer Linux over Windows in many aspects.
Hahaha Windows users having sense
have no idea how to install another OS
I can, I just prefer windows
The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux
I'll have you know I know exactly how to install Linux and simply choose not to!
(I ran Ubuntu for 3 years)
I know how to quit smoking weed erry day, I simply choose not to.
Damn, just call me out dude
It's all in good fun
Well Ubuntu is shit XD
Try KDE.
KDE is available for Ubuntu. There's even an edition that ships with KDE (Kubuntu).
I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.
Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base
In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".
Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"
I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible
A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency
Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.
Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.
Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.
I'm a windows user and I don't deny anything. I'm just too lazy to switch to Linux and I need the full functionality of Teams for my job.
The Linux Teams app works. I'm not sure what is missing other than MS abandoning dev on it
For one thing, you can't make break-out rooms in Linux, which is something I need to do all the time.
Crazy, that the web app is missing this, when the windows app is just webView as well..
Windows users have regrets
Mac users have stockholm syndrome
Linux users have a computer
Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?
There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.
Sonic all stars racong transformed is so peak, i played it on me moms ipad when i was little.
Don’t forget ~~bloodborne~~ nightmare kart
Nightmare Kart is like playing Mario Kart for the first time again, or Chocobo Racing. Gave me nostalgia for a game I never played before.
Thanks, I'd look into it.
Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)
Mario Kart can be fun depending on how your partner is with video games in general and how you are as a couple competitively. Overcooked can also be a good franchise as a coop game but I’ve also heard in some languages it’s referred to as “divorce kitchen” so your mileage may vary.
What the fuck is tuxkart?
Open source kart racer with a bunch of open source mascots as playable characters
from the linux sucks community?
nah it was here just deep in the negative https://lemmy.world/post/20843892
From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol
Just had a look. Weird choice of hill to die on
Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.
TIL I've had Stockholm Syndrome since 1989
If you've consistently only bought products from one company rather than buying the best product available, and never even bothered trying something else, then yes, you do seem to.
I've used both of them, both professionally and personally, for some time.
Linux
Have time to make everything work before doing anything
Also I live in a river in Egypt bitch, guess which one first one guess doesn't count and you can't repeat guesses and only possible answers allowed..
Also there's a camera recording everything I'm doing at all times that's somewhat accessible to hackers.
First guess is "the Nile" second guess is "denial" , third guess is Sinai. Also, what the hell is that, an AI catcher?
I don't know man. I was really bored and being silly and sucking at it.
The idea is that there's only one river in Egypt. The Nile and denial was what I was going for, yes obviously, but that's not a river in Egypt. Egypt the denial isn't just play on words and then I kept on going because that's how I communicate
Hint: :q!
