HDMI, what's that ?

I personally see two major factors :

• it's yet another way to collect data for monetization (selling to governments and advertisers).
• it's a symptom of market culture : it exists not to serve the user, but to be a product to sell to the user. In that light, it behaves and evolves exactly as any other thingy which tries to reinvent itself year after year, to keep customers interested, regardless of its intrinsic value as an operating system.

but that's just me, I can't claim to understand the inner workings of Microsoft

I am not interested anymore, sorry... the indie scene makes much, much better games than whatever starfield is. It's honestly a little heartbreaking because I am a longtime Morrowind fan but obviously the magic is gone

So, I settled on Nobara (Plasma desktop) almost week ago now. Besides my troubles with Wacom tablet (it happens with all distros I tried, no solution so far), it's all good. The OS isn't constantly nagging me about something. It doesn't lie about not restarting when I ask it to hold off -and consequently lose no work because of it. There is no random ad on the login screen. No web results sorted to appear first when I type to search for a local file or command. I can disable stuff I don't use, such as window animations, etc. No shovelware like one-fucking-drive or some LLM butler taking up room, ram, and mental health.

All in all, I feel weirdly at peace when using this machine. It's just a tool that's succeeding in getting out of the way.

The only downside is I can't use the Affinity suite, but besides that... perfect

There's a bunch more missing from this one, but given the style, it's probably okay

lol, this is exactly what creates unions

This was such a preventable suicide, lol

It's important to know that any rule like that doesn't necessarily hold up if you move just a few hundred kilometers.

to 4yo me, JP was a horror film. I mean, the kitchen sequence alone. And the run underground in the dark in search of the fuses, only to find a severed arm.

please explain I want to laugh

I can see the two neurons duelling in real time
