I switched my house for a shitty apartment and I’m never going back. I switched my car for a streetcar and bus ride and I’m never going back. I switched my wife for being single, and she’s never coming back.
- Comment on Xubuntu website hijacked to serve malware 5 days ago:
I doubt they bothered to change them. And, if you know how to check hashes then you wouldn’t run an exe file to download an ISO.
- Comment on Xubuntu website hijacked to serve malware 5 days ago:
Poor new Linux users. You choose a good starting distribution. This sucks hard. Linux isos are not exe files. You can also check the hash files, but I don’t know anyone that does that on their personal PC.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 6 days ago:
Yeah, the lack of mass production causes higher prices. Framework and system76 are doing good things and deserve support. However, the issue imo is a legislative one. You should be forced to purchase an operating system with your hardware.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 6 days ago:
ChromeOS and android are about to be the same thing. I know you can buy laptops with Linux for a while (e.g., RHEL on IBM/Lenovo machine); however, it is definitely not the norm. It’s getting much better now, but if you want your choice of hardware it’s probably going to ship with windows. MacOS is quickly becoming a walled Garden too. I just want to be refunded for an operating system that I immediately wipe, and everyone else should too.

And for some reason when I buy a laptop I need to also pay for that disgusting spyware. How is the scam still going on?
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 3 weeks ago:
If the spyware/tracking started and ended at the cell tower it would be a good start. I’m not sure the sensor data would be sent to the tower either. It would just be a general area.

A proper Linux phone cannot come soon enough
- Comment on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks 3 weeks ago:
M1 still doesn’t have full Linux support, unfortunately. They’ve done a lot of good work, but it isn’t there yet. Yet, another reason not to buy snapdragon PCs yet.

No, they made some bangers before going evil.

Isn’t this illegal in Europe? Was that the whole point of forcing apple to allow alternative app stores?

Hmm, i don’t like your tone, but you are correct. Also, ASD has a heritability greater than 80% which is higher than blood pressure and the same as human height. It’s a genetic disorder.
Also, when was it necessary to differentiate ASD from schizophrenia? The age of onset of schizophrenia is around 18-21 and autism is present practically from birth (apparent 1-3 years). I think OP is wrongly interpreting the Kraepelinian dichotomy which is about bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Why does CloudFlare not want an open web? I don’t know why they care. Can someone please explain?

I hate to admit how much FOMO works on me. I’m glad I got a switch 2 to play BOTW again… Of course I have cemu, but I need to buy this other bullshit for some reason. Fuck Nintendo. What were we talking about again?

Umm, I bought it because Gary Oldman said squadron 42 was coming out next year. I want a modern freelancer. That was over a decade. That really seems like a scam…

There’s no room for growth! What are we going to do about it? IDK, so random shit that won’t get adopted to placate the VCs? Give that man a raise! (TGIF gift cards only. We are going to be hemorrhaging cash soon).
