I mean more or less. This is one of the top posts on r/conservative rn

No, but it’s a sensible security measure. Anything to make it harder.

I think it’s a little kid asking if Minecraft on Xbox could be made free to keep for 5 days as a promotion. Probably just can’t afford it because he’s 10 and barely knows how to spell lol.

Hex bugs were my shit. Each one was unique not because of the patterns, but because of tiny manufacturing tolerances changing their movements, and I thought that was cool as fuck.

Yeah, they’re still useful points of knowledge though. Wholistic education is important to teach kids how the world works.

They still exist and will continue to exist in many contexts indefinitely, such as men’s fashion and clock towers, so there it’s not like they’ll ever be “obsolete” per se. They are also extremely easy to learn, and are a good way to teach concepts like spatial reasoning and gears to kids. I think schools should teach about them for those reasons.

KDE bricked my install on my main desktop after updating to the latest LTS too. No idea how that happens. I’m on opensuse leap now.

And when you point that out to the AI, those code snippets get replaced with even more spaghetti that is maybe 1% closer to actually working, at best. Been there!

Seeing games I don’t play get affected by kernel anti-cheat just gives me this big self-serving biased perception that my taste in games is good.

Steam has an effective monopoly on open, marketplace-style launchers. EGS is their only real competitor and everyone hates it. GOG is years behind the curve and Amazon’s launcher barely exists. At this point in time, Steam is hardly considered third-party since it’s so ubiquitous.

As a Neon user I resent the implication but also understand that it is mostly true

Obviously the Catholic women on reddit see dating as a transaction lmao, fucking classic.

Of course Linux is better for custom, purpose-built hardware. That’s like, its main advantage for the commercial sector.

Realistically you don’t have to if you’re not constantly tinkering, but if you’re changing a lot of low-level stuff without knowing what you’re doing, you have the ability to break things. If you don’t know how to fix them, then it’s easier to just reformat. Basically it’s a skill issue lol.

Alternatively: You can prevent this. Use a different operating system.

KDE Connect is so good that there is a user-maintained version that works in GNOME as well.
