Hmm, I’m still new to Lemmy. How do I block an instance?

I can’t remember exactly why intensive, but it never worked right when I tried it. Weird layers of abstraction, terrible ARM support, blegh.

Snaps promise to do some really cool things. They just are a bitch to use and they are slow and tied too heavily to canonical.

Weren’t use supposed to be able to snap in and out a kernel by now? Like, not even needing a reboot?

Dude if you could convince MAGA of that…

Open up the tv, de soldier the led.

That’s increasingly difficult to do.

Android has been doing shit like this for years. It’s a marketing tool more than anything. But there’s a weird tribalism around Android so everyone just forgives it. But when windows does it people suddenly care about privacy.

I’m tired.

That’s a good point. Better get a giant ass hard drive array going and connect it to something disposable, like an pi.

When they were protesting here in Akron, some asshole put out giant pallets of bricks all along the protest route. Fuckheads.

No

Division by zero in my ass?

That’s not because the registry is important or powerful. It’s the opposite. Microsoft designs their shitty operating systems to always assume the registry is perfect. Question nothing. Everything is literal. There is no sanity checking or error handling. So if something is off about the registry, the OS will just shrug and blue screen.

Stop using windows. It’s for children.

The windows registry is not a magical thing. That’s really all that dangerous. It’s just a giant central config file that you can store binary data in if you know what you’re doing. Malware can hide there too.

Tools that claim to lighten windows are almost always riddled with malware. You should never ever trust them. Those project build a base of loyal users, then change and add in malware later, compromising the system.

Windows is not a system you modify like that. It’s actually surprisingly Mac like in how you have to handle it. Be responsible. Build an OS up and out, bow down and back.

There are 3 movie files that have bad checksums but are still readable for some reason. Literally everything else is fine.

valid, fast and private OS wut?

Microsoft turns things back on all the time though. It doesn’t matter what you set if they can unset it whenever they want.

I firmly believe this will go the way of Cortana once the AI bubble bursts. What I’m more concerned about is the normalization of terrible security and privacy practices.

Linux is everywhere and doing everything already. Windows only continues to exist because business majors are in charge and they are fucking dumb.

I have some artist friends who saw the writing on the wall after Adobe told Apple to fuck off with the iPad and Affinity said hold my beer. One owns her own publishing company and as of a few years ago all new projects were Adobe-free workflows. She still has Adobe but will only use it for older shit that might still need something later. Going forward, she (and therefore her entire operation) are fucking done with Adobe. Another friend learned both so he could adapt to whatever the market has in store for him and since the market sucks for artists he’s going freelance too and has said absolutely no to Adobe.

Adobe is officially legacy software. Vendor lock in won’t save it as the creatives don’t need industry titans to survive.
