I believe I found the problem.

The sad thing is that nobody knew there was a doomsday clock.
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 day ago:
I’m not sure Microsoft would agree, but I feel that’s fair game since the registry is readily available and accessible to any user. It seems clear that Microsoft now treats Windows as a marketing tool to get people to subscribe to their other services, anyway. The way they cram marketing and adverts into every process and corner of the OS, it’s a wonder they are still trying to charge at all.

Aha, I didn’t realize that was an option.
I see there’s a notesnook-sync-server project. Thanks for pointing that out or I’d have missed it!

I think people here are honest about Linux, but there is a catch that often isn’t clarified - there are many distros and desktops out there and they are all optimized for particular use-cases.
Want to game and nothing else without technical headaches? Bazzite. Want to game and love to tinker? EndeavorOS. Want to do productivity stuff? Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Fedora.
MacOS fan? GNOME desktop. Windows fan? KDE Plasma or Cinnamon desktop.
It goes on and on. I still keep a Windows partition because a few things I need simply wont work properly on Linux no matter what I do… notably, the Affinity suite. But Linux as a whole is getting better fast. More people are working on it and that work is starting to snowball. I’m hopeful that in a few years I’ll finally be able to get away from Windows entirely… but you’re right, not everyone can. Not yet.

A freedom-focused decentralized platform is naturally going to attract people who love freedom-focused decentralized software. You should learn to love that about Lemmy, lest your own misguided desires contribute to your suffering.

Check out the debloat script. It can’t get rid of everything (like Edge) but it makes a HUGE difference.

Windows 11 does not allow Edge to be removed. There may be some roundabout ways to do it, but the system actively puts up a LOT of roadblocks. It’s extremely trashy.

Windows 11 is freely available through official channels and only disables some personalization GUIs if you don’t activate. But you can still customize things without the GUI. There may be other gotchas to force you to pay up, but piracy isn’t even necessary.

I just checked it out and at first it looked perfect… then I started noticing local features like exports, notebook counts, etc that were paywalled behind a subscription. For an app that is “open source” that really rubs me the wrong way. I may look through the source code later. I have a feeling they’ve tied those features arbitrarily to web services to drive subscriptions, which would be really creepy… though not as creepy as if the code exists locally and is paywalled. sigh

I haven’t heard of notesnook. I’ll need to check that out.
I don’t love Obsidian, it’s just the best free app I’ve come across so far.

Replace OneDrive with a NAS. You can roll your own with something like OpenMediaVault.
Replace OneNote with Obsidian. It’s not FOSS, but it’s free and cross platform.

I prefer Evolution over Thunderbird, personally. But to be fair, there aren’t any mail clients for Linux that I genuinely would say I like. I’m always open to suggestions, though.

Hip hooks are also great for getting at those muscles, which are otherwise very difficult to stretch.

It still infects the vast majority of Sega and Ubisoft titles, despite their age.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
Devices of all kinds becoming more and more locked down is a thing that is already happening. Without increasingly strong consumer protections like digital ownership, right to repair, and the like, capitalism necessitates that devices and platforms continue to become more locked down, less accessible, less open, less flexible, and less private. Maybe the EU can rise to the occasion before it’s too late, but don’t expect that to happen anywhere else.
- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 5 days ago:
Linux is fantastic for gaming. You’ll even see performance improvements. The only games that have problems are those that intentionally block linux, like Destiny 2, but they’re not worth playing.
The places you are likely to run into problems is with certain desktop apps. For example, the Affinity suite or software designed to support specific devices or peripherals. But if gaming is your focus, Linux is genuinely a better choice than Windows all around.

- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 6 days ago:
While I am primarily a PC gamer, it really is the best thing From Software has ever done and an objective masterpiece. I sometimes waffle between whether Bloodborne or Sekiro is my favorite, but regardless of my own preference, I do think Bloodborne is the best.

Nioh 2 is one of my favorite soulslikes, but falls short of masterpiece in my opinion due to the repeatedly recycled levels.

Mostly this. I’m not paying for something that comes with malware. Not for $80, $20, or $1. Nobody should pay for malware.
- Comment on Fortnite returns to iPhone app store in US, ending exile imposed by Apple 1 week ago:
FYI, this person is a sealion. Their MO is stringing people along with bad faith arguments in an attempt to waste their time.
- Comment on Fortnite returns to iPhone app store in US, ending exile imposed by Apple 1 week ago:
Apple should be forced to allow the owners of Apple devices to install whatever they want. But they’ve created an illegal, monopolistic, anti-competitive trust and they are abusing it to the full extent of their power.
Forcing Apple to allow things on the app store is a remedy for Apple’s wrongdoing the same way as forcing Jason Voorhees to give his victims bandaids would be a remedy. The wrongdoing should not be tolerated in the first place.

Thanks to capitalism, you don’t own most of that “digital legacy” and do not have the right to bequeath or transfer ownership for the vast majority of it.
