Have you even tried the web UI?

I have four pieces of advice
- btrfs file system for easy backup and recovery
- Encrypt your drive
- use an ad blocker everywhere
- use virus total to scan anything you might be wary of, and if you really feel like you need an AV, they do exist for Linux.
I usually prefer Debian based systems, but when I finally ditched windows 3 weeks ago, I switched to Manjaro, and I’m loving it. You got this!

My experience comes from previous attempts at using wireless headphones. It’s just easier for me to plug in and not have to do literally anything else for a premium listing experience.

Okay, I’ll give you wsl2, and the “average user experience” being better, but Windows is losing its identity with the IT and customization front. For both destroying the win32 control panel and locking down the shell so you can no longer customize it.
Somewhat ironically OSX recently added widgets to the desktop. Something Microsoft did years ago, removed it for no reason, and then added a flyout to tick almost the same check boxes.
As for me, the spike in resource usage and over saturation of “AI” was enough for me to decide to jump ship.
I’m currently attempting to daily drive Manjaro so maybe my opinion will change, but so far, it feels like home.

It’s valid to feel disappointed. Windows 7 was really stable.
My work still has a windows 7 machine with an uptime of something like 12 years.
Windows 7 will idle in the low megabytes. But why does 11 want to use 6-8 Gigs on idle for no good reason?
And it’s not like there’s that much difference between the two operating systems. One is just loaded up with electron wrappers and dpyware
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
My point is if you’re paying anyone, it should be the maintainers and members of an open source project. But I’ve seen people host many other high bandwidth things for free so who knows.

Better than ever? What? Bloated than ever maybe.

Technically literate people could host the relays.

- better computer literacy is always better
- mas adoption -> more contributing -> more features like “share with friends”

Wow, so my decision to switch my machines over to Linux by win10 EOL really isn’t overkill.

I don’t really like this approach, not just because I was flagged as a bot, but because I don’t really like captchas. I swear I’m not a bot guys!

Are they including stuff written by intellisence and boiler plate for legacy code?

Funny considering windows 7 consists of exactly 0% AI generated code.

It doesn’t catch on because entry level devs love committing private keys
- Comment on What would this list look like for your generation? 5 weeks ago:
Fein comes from the Travis Scott song Fe!N. While it is a synonym of “addict”, Travis uses it more as a musical refrain. The repeated and somewhat goofy intonation of the repeated phrase is what lead to the memification of this slang word. When using “fein”, it can be used like any other nonsensical filler word.

You really think that’s a dunk? “Wireless” just means you plug it in when not in use. There’s nothing hard about plugging in a 3.5mm audio jack. I’ve never been sufficiently convinced to actually use wireless headphones. They seem like more of a hassle for a worse listing experience.

Apple has so much bloat, crapware like AI GenMoji don’t even play dumb lol
- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 1 month ago:
No, it’s genuinely good, at least for now. My only issue I’ve experienced is that it would go to sleep and I wouldn’t get notifications anymore.
I switched to QUIKand have been pretty happy. It’s not perfect, but it does what I need it to.

- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 month ago:
He’ll probably succumb to his lifestyle choices first. He might even get bird flu or a virus long thought eradicated. It would be really tragic if it was something climate related like his Florida home sinking into the ocean.
