This is exactly what I do… and then never touch it again.

someone who knows everything about you can easily manipulate or even blackmail you

To that end, the ability for people to not only fabricate completely new evidence, but also manipulate existing evidence, I think deserves a lot more attention.

For example, imagine the damage someone can do simply by taking leaked corporate data and slightly messing with it. Who second-guesses the accuracy of leaked data?

the “nothing to hide” argument implies that if you want to keep certain aspects of your life private (i.e., hidden), you must have done something wrong

What has also become more sinister as of late is that the definition of “wrong” can change at the whim of whoever is running your government right now.

I try not to put much stock in black-and-white opinions because I think the answer is rarely that simple.

I wonder how they did not catch this

Because the date command fails most of its unit tests and they decided to ship it anyway. I would also argue they don’t have anywhere near enough tests in the first place.

I think you’ll have an extremely hard time finding any hardware that supports Windows but can’t run linux

My previous laptop couldn’t boot linux for like 2 years until kernel patches came out. It still to this day doesn’t support bluetooth in linux due to an unfixed/wontfix kernel bug. And the wifi only uploads at 1mbps under linux.

By incompatible I don’t mean “won’t boot at all” (even though I’ve had that multiple times, including with my Surface tablet), but it’s all the little stuff that often doesn’t have a 100% working driver (either yet or at all). Maybe you don’t experience this but there’s still lots of people that do.

Personally, every game I care to run works perfectly fine on my Steam Deck

Almost none of my TeknoParrot games work under linux, no matter what version/patch/fork of wine/lutris/proton/etc. I try. Plus there’s tons of people that still want to play those newer games with kernel-level anti-cheat, even if you don’t.

5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:

• Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

• Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)

• You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

• Your company policy requires it

• Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing

Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Linux at all.

What about Blink?

What non-big corporation makes mobile phones?

read it first

and if you’re not a programmer and/or don’t understand code?

Anything ever found from this point on then will just be sold on tor for top dollar to the highest bidder.

peerjs

no TURN

In other words, it will be broken for a huge amount of users, namely those behind CG or symmetrical NAT on both sides.

Oh really? I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.

I don’t see many people talking about it.

Maybe because we have been doing it with DNS66 for 15 years now

Photoshop works fine for me in wine, no VM necessary, and performance is near native.

Not on the list. If you search around online there are tons of threads of people having this same problem for many years now.

different ISPs, physical locations

I think this covers the IP question…

this is objectively worse than “thorn guy”.

I don’t understand how people are even able to use discord in the first place.

Every time I try to make an account, something goes wrong.

• endless captcha loops

• stuck in preview mode forever, no joins to a server ever succeed

• immediate inexplicable ban

• phonewalls right after creating account

• immediate ban after providing a real phone number, that has never been used for discord

• “our automated system is working correctly, appeal denied”

I have tried multiple different desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices, across different browsers, ISPs, physical locations and operating systems, with nothing in common and no VPN/proxy or anything like that. For years. It just does. not. work.

What similarly draconian laws have actually passed in recent time?
