It is a unicorn. I dread the day Gaben dies and Valve ends up going public. It feels like the last bastion of decent online services.

Until they lock it up where you can’t. Or they’ll decide on selling data and injecting ads into your convos or streams.

In other words this hasn’t been enshittified to the max yet at all. There are new and horrible depths to explore.

Prescription meth does wonders for focus. Lol

I’m riding the same struggle bus and there are a lot of us. More like a struggle cruisliner, or struggle ark. Keep up the fight. I know it’s exhausting, but don’t let the bastards drag you down.

…fuck off.

Older stuff, nearly 100%. New stuff, still really high to nearly 100%. The only place you’ll run into trouble is with devices made with only windows drivers etc. So things like a USB label printer or glucose monitor or something like that.

Computer hardware though, very unlikely to see an issue. Servers use both the CPU and GPU. And most servers run some flavor of Linux.

What’s Realtek done? I haven’t kept up on them.

I’ve hated and avoided 11 since I first experienced it. After Xmas I had to help setup my parents new PC. It of course is win 11. I spent so much fucking time getting that shit just to a usable state. I’m more convinced than ever to fuck off from MS for good.

My favorite feature is honestly so simple. Denying network permissions during install.

I’m stoked to give it a try. I left my last PDF application because they injected AI into it. So I’ve been shopping around a little. I’ve been using Okular, but it’s really limited, even as a viewer. This looks awesome. Nicely done! I hope you keep at it!

Lol wait seriously? Surely those are a joke.

It doesn’t come as a surprise. Hence why I said have a good Eid in a few months instead of now. Don’t think my comment warranted the condescending snark but w/e.

I lived in the middle east for a time but I’m still not great at distinguishing Persian from Arabic at a glance. Sorry for the mistake.

That literally has nothing to do with enjoying the end of year holidays. They may originate from Christian stuff, but a majority of the popular stuff is not christian at all.

If you don’t celebrate though then maybe have a happy Ramadan and Eid al-fitr when it comes around in a few months? Just guessing from the Arabic name.

Subjectiveness of art aside she’s just a garbage person. Troll or not, whatever.

New taskbar from ground up. And despite all the requests to bring the feature back, their reasoning amounts to “we’re too lazy”

I use 2x on certain videos where some talks really slow and I want them to get on with the explanation but don’t want to scrub through it trying to hit the right timestamp.

Lol may as well stock up now. It’s coming

Nice, that’s awesome.

Nice, where’d you get that deal?

If being around end users has taught me anything, it’s that idiots will ALWAYS find a way to out-stupid the previous record holder. So even if you are the best idiot, someone is working on claiming your crown this very moment.

This was always the goal when they started adding screens. Screens should always be viewed as ad delivery mechanisms especially if internet connected. That goes triple for devices that absolutely don’t need a screen. Like a fucking fridge. They will slow boil the process at first. But they’ll do it.
