Yeah I agree, Macs aren't great for high-end gaming unless someone is willing to drop several grand

What's wrong with fully featured Desktop Environments?

I think most people should keep using Windows, especially pirates and pervs who look at nudey youtube, so that most malware continues to be made for Windows. (not that other OS can't get malware)

Tim Cook sucking up to Trump was a huge letdown for me, too. One would think he'd be against a homophobic fascist as a world leader considering the fact that he's openly gay, but whatever. Kind of going against his own interests, in many ways, making himself look bad in the eyes of his shareholders and customers...

I still think they make a solid product regardless of anything else, kind of like how the Tesla Powerwall is a really good powerwall but their cars are shit.

Can't beat a Linux server though, that's always been true.

Linux-only users really hate Microsoft, your rants are always A+

That's a good point. I guess even if you had to go through a few additional steps, it wasn't very difficult for you, so it's worth it.

Personally, I’m not brand loyal to any particular OS. There are good things about a lot of different operating systems, and I even have good things to say about ChromeOS. It just depends on what a user needs from an operating system.

Most Windows-only users I am acquainted with seem to want a device that mostly “just works” out of the box, whereas Linux requires a nonzero amount of tinkering for most distributions. I’ve never encountered a machine for sale with Linux pre-installed outside of niche small businesses selling pre-built PCs.

Windows users seem to want to just buy, have, and use a computer, whereas Linux users seem to enjoy problem solving and tinkering for fun. These two groups of people seem as if they’re very fundamentally different in what they want from a machine, so a user who solely uses Windows moving over to Linux never made much sense to me.

Why did you switch, and what was your process like? What made you choose Linux for your primary computing device, rather than macOS for example?

Yeah but toggles will just break websites and won't optimize it for text-only like Lynx does.

I used to feel this way too. But, there are worse things to be.

I'm looking for a privacy browser that doesn't allow Javascript, I actually want something like Lynx, but that isn't Lynx. Windows, Mac or Linux doesn't matter.

Why is Safari dogshit? I think its pretty good. Edit: Its a whole lot better than Edge

A vague path and something to show for it means using a bunch of energy for something they're not even really doing...?

I’m really impressed with Vivaldi. It’s fast, has good privacy features, and is really user-friendly. I’m so glad someone told me about it.

[-] umbrellacloud@leminal.space 2 points 3 days ago

Not even NoScript?

I was recently told about Vivaldi, and I’m excited about it. I love the privacy features and the tab organization. Proton VPN is built in, so it looks as if Proton is the best VPN extension for the browser. I imagine that other Proton products work well with it too.

What’s your favorite browser and browser extension(s) right now?

It doesn't take that much energy and power to run an LLM or an image generator, and sure, it would take a lot with so many users connecting, across so many servers... but there's just no way they're not mining bitcoin. My math might not be mathing but it seems like AI doesn't justify the power use and it seems like everybody's lying.

Someone who knows more about this inform me of your opinions

That’s weird, considering that porn is banned in China and their sex ed is almost nonexistent.
