nah proton is perfectly fine

As a Linux user for a few years now I have to disagree. My friends who still rely on Windows only software for either school or their jobs use Revision OS and installs it with a tool called playbooks which takes only a few minutes and automatically disables feature updates; only allowing security updates to go through. This makes it so all “system updates” are through the playbook app which is pretty cool, it pretty much makes it a Windows fork and won’t revert or break anything when updating

I literally only started hearing people say its a honeypot after that one cat pfp youtuber was reviewing its onion services when proton released it, which used https for the onion domain, which he said “is the same thing honeypots do” or whatever

Tried Vanilla OS and immediatly screamed in my head “what the f**k??” when trying to access an encrypted hard drive.

LUKS was stripped for some very odd reason

man I love those old Eee PC’s! my dad gave me his old Eee 900 one when I was like 14 and I put Lubuntu on it and it was such a blast having this tiny little laptop I could take anywhere with a snes controller and play snes games on it without it taking any room, it came with a really cool Asus case made for it too. Sadly its just been sitting on my shelf collecting some dust not really sure what to do with it.

we anticipate that the kernel, d-i and images teams will cease to support i386 in the near future.

I don’t think it’s fair to jump on Microsoft for this one. Windows 10 has been out for almost 10 years. Apple gives less support for systems than 10 years, they are closer to 8, which is still a while.

it is absolutely fair to blame Microsoft, because they promised their customers, device manufacturers, and even businesses that Windows 10 was going to be their last OS, and flipped that switch out of nowhere when they realized they could be making more money.

Windows 12 supposedly going to be subscription based I feel like is a great example.

water is wet

Twitch is just such a weird fucking place man

holy shit really? looks like there’s hope after all

they seem to have it “covered”

Bluetooth and WiFi never turns back on unless you’re doing it from the control center

Interesting. still annoying tho especially with the whole Flipper Zero shenanigans.

The last article I get but the analytics being reenabled was a bug right?

ehhh? I have no idea how a bug like that happens, it could be my paranoia watching these huge companies play with their consumers that way to not believe it was a bug, but if you read the whole article that “bug” didn’t happen to everyone’s iPhone and Apple responded saying they were “investigating” the issue but never really commented on it afterwards.

I recently went nuclear on Microsoft’s privacy team for constantly emailing me promotions despite being unsubscribed to everything.

is that even legal??

“Significant Locations” and “iPhone Analytics”

also like I said Apple devices likes to randomly re-enable bluetooth or other system settings for some reason

https://www.techradar.com/phones/ios/ios-17-is-resetting-some-users-privacy-settings-and-apple-is-looking-into-it

not the first time they did something anti-consumer via a system update

https://www.ifixit.com/News/9472/ios-update-slows-iphone

this is why I hate both Microsoft and Apple

not sure why this is getting downvoted, this has happened before and even happens on Apple devices where they just re-enable privacy settings you disabled or whatever else the fuck they want like, idk, bluetooth.

also Microsoft “may” block you from updating your system if its unable to reinstall edge like holy shite

Note for Windows users who uninstalled system apps using previous version If you used privacy.sexy (v0.12.6 or v0.12.7) to delete system apps, please follow these steps to avoid potential issues with Windows Updates: Open Command Prompt (Start Menu ➜ type “cmd” ➜ select “Command Prompt”). Copy and paste the following command: PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command “Remove-Item -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\EndOfLife*’ -Force -Verbose” Press Enter. This action ensures that there are no side effects related to Windows Updates, since Microsoft may block updates if it is unable to reinstall Edge.

this is someone probably <13

“RobloxPianoAutoplayer” “Anime-Clicker-Simulator-GUI”

what??

also their “Guardian V2” repo

Q: What is Guardian V2?

A: Guardian V2 is a side project of mine. Its purpose is to protect users from game/user-made malicious functions/scripts. It is highly customizeable

jeepers weepers man isn’t it so cool to have their anti-cheat so customizeable??

I completely understand that with windows, especially with hibernation like what the fuck is “windows modern standby”

but with Linux, it depends on the distro you use.

if you’re using something such as Pop_OS, I can pretty much guarantee you you’re never going to run into a power management issue or even a driver issue for that matter since its based off of Ubuntu and is very well supported.

Honestly, the more these one time accounts try to convince me to remove protonmail and simplelogin, the more I see how much it’s needed to block them. It’s like the marketing team is desperately trying to keep their services from being rightfully flagged and it just makes me want to block them even more. I do hope they won’t cloud your judgement @7c , as these services are used for temp emails by all definitions. If you have any questions you may always ask me from the conversation we have started :)

Shit like this is what makes me want to pull my hair out at night

definitely this

people buy macs for macos or Chromebooks for chrome os because “windows just sucks because it breaks all the time” mentality you always see on Twitter
