- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 3 weeks ago:
Makes sense. Would packaging like Flatpak or AppImage be an option? Or just make sure it runs with Wine? Probably all not that straightforward.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 3 weeks ago:
Same here.
Game performance on Linux isn’t always the best. So I’ll keep a Win10 around.
Are Linux ports of games so hard to do? Genuine question. I am not a games dev.

Are “brother” the nice guys at the moment?

Why would you care whether random kids in a bus discus your “coolness”?

I must buy a printer soon. Thank you for reminding me to avoid HP products.

- Comment on Signal President Meredith Whittaker calls out agentic AI as having ‘profound’ security and privacy issues 1 month ago:
Can’t see anything I disagree with in her statements. Imo she’s spot on. The near future looks even bleaker now.
- Comment on Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta 1 month ago:
Sure. You can still be profiled, though. That can open doors for discrimination or other unsavory agendas. One also loses a measure of anonymity. Users don’t clearly see how and know that they are tracked, meaning there’s a loss of transparency.
It’s not just about ads.

Neither well protect you truly from fingerprinting, sadly.

- Comment on Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying) 5 months ago:
I’ve found that some people use Linux just to be apart of the “cool tech kids” on the internet. They don’t understand how to use a CLI… I hope that’s true. If Linux got this far to make PC life possible for the cool kids, I say welcome every single one of then.

You either spend your life really well or you have way too much time in your hands.
Either way I read your post with happy curiosity. 🙂
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 5 months ago:
Well, I completely disagree! Taking things seriously is the only way to have meaningful conversations. If we don’t challenge each other’s views, how will we ever grow and learn? We need the “battleground of ideas”!

- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 5 months ago:
I love Vivaldi. An sad it’s Chromium. Wish Firefox would take a page out of Vivaldi’s features book and innovation approach.
- Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" 5 months ago:
Fair. Just that the selection of quality games is rather limited.
IMO monetisation is fine, after all we all need to make a living. To goad people into spending money is the issue. Enter dark patterns.
A one-off purchase after testing the first level? Awesome! Wait a few hours - or days - for a building to finish? Watch a deceptive ad for a meager reward over and over? No, thanks.
