I didn’t know basically anything in your entire comment yet you explained it pretty clearly. Thanks for a learning experience 😊

Will intensely think about it. Last I heard no bitlocker. Will research this week.

Hmm. Switchable graphics. Do you mean like integrated & GPU? I didn’t think that could affect dual screen setup. Guess maybe it could? Idk.

I would but my cares are pretty much gone rn. I don’t have enough time to do anything nowadays except work, doomscroll and sleep. Much less to start messing with weird stuff and breaking my $2800 laptop for fun hahah. I think I’ll keep it as it came. I hope Bill Gates one day wakes up and looks at a sneak pic of my balls. If I get fired I’ll boot up my work laptop and install Arch on it though. Always wanted to try it!

Microsoft is adware

Yeah what do you do on a computer without Candy Crush. Could it even connect to the Internet?

All my mom does is browser and Office365. I tried to get her into LibreOffice and I saw her suffering through it for some time and decided to put her out of her misery by MAS’ing her Office.

I’ve tried quite a few distros on an MSI I got and it wouldn’t recognize dual monitors with Nvidia drivers on any I tried. I went with fedora, Debian based ones, kde, etc. And none worked. Had to go back to Windows on that laptop.

Ah my work laptop had the same issue but as soon as I saw it didn’t work I just switched to windows and it worked.

The only laptop I keep permanently Linuxed I use as a VPS lol. Got Nextcloud on it and a few bots.

My ISP doesn’t give a fuck so I don’t use ISP-friendly tools. Not even a VPN. Only for geoblocking.

Just pirate it off https://1337x.to when it comes out. People rip things pretty fast if they’re popular.

Why u swearing things to me 🤔

What is that

Which bundle is this? 😌 I shall try it.

Of course. Your idea is THE idea. You CANNOT get mass adoption without a minimal amount of hops. You won’t get the hordes of pirates running around reading wikis on how to configure their router for piracy and how to get an i2p provider and how to get an index etc.

Torrenting right now is so broadly adopted because you just download a Torrenting client, click the magnet, click OK and you’re good to go.

If you HAD to set up port forwarding, some magnet handling register in windows preferences, just those two would stop the bulk majority of pirates. And that’s not even 1/4 of what you have to do to use i2p correctly.

It’s not even prosecuted where I live. So I couldn’t care less if it’s clearnet or whether my IP address is public.

For open source and lots of features, try Neko / Nekogram. It’s very good. I personally use Plus though, it is closed source but had more and better features, in my opinion. However, it is only downloadable from Play which means it has to follow Google censorship rules. If that matters to you, go Neko.

I don’t recommend any other. No reason to. There’s nothing better than these 2.

OK then my showers are political and my water drinking and air breathing habits are political. I am, for obvious reasons, not using those measures when I talk about apolitical news.

ah yes “Dogs found to carry a gene that lets them bark in ultrasonic waves that mice cannot hear” (fake news title), omg so political. That’s the kind of shit I want sometimes. I don’t know how you came up to the idea that all news is about what political parties and the ruling class are doing in their day to day lives :) I do love some news about how putin is screwing up something, but I also want news about new cool apps, new developments in technology or AI, new cool stuff found around the world, new opportunities and things in this cool world. Sometimes, just sometimes, I don’t wanna hear about what insults Trump is hurling at Biden and viceversa.

It seems like the best way is view “all” not just local

if you’re not subbed to a lot of stuff yeah but i already got to the point you mention where i have a shitton of subs and i get good curated content in my feed.

having said that i do browse All often and did in this case to find this post.

to be fair you can subscribe/unsubscribe from communities. I often do this. If /c/news is too political, i unsub from /c/news, i can then go and find some other news community that posts interesting things that aren’t as political

similarly, /c/[email protected] is not the only technology community out there, as is obvious, so we can go and find other things :) your feed is yours! own it! don’t wait for others to fix it cuz you’ll very often be dissatisfied.
