Of course. I am shocked people don’t. But it’s not entirely the act of peeing, it’s the fact a sink and soap are right there. It’s a good idea to wash your hands occasionally, so how about now?

I have always hated the term “seats”. Get bent microsoft.

I disagree.

Legal stuff would be Use at your own risk, or answers may not be correct.

This is really strong language.

This is not true:

If checking your mail, browsing and streaming is all you care about without the Windows nonsense, with some scattershot choice of gaming, then Linux is for you.

Everything else in your post is preference, which is fine. I do not understand the love for Notepad++ but that is your choice.

But when you said Linux is basically checking mail and the rare game, well that is nonsense.

I use Linux because I need reliability and no bullshit so I can do my work. I remote into all sorts of environments and deal with Windows often, I would never want any of that on my home or work computer. Windows is too slow and too broken for me to rely on for earning money.

But I also do all my hobbies: music production, photography, graphic design, 3d modeling, 3d printing, creating web pages, etc. There is really nothing I need windows for.

As for games: My library shows 1200 games ready to play, so I am not sure why you say “scattershot”. I am playing the latest Resident Evil Requiem right now. Works perfectly, no set up steps at all.

So fine, maybe linux isn’t for you, but no reason to spread fud.

Copilot? You mean the AI with terms of service that are in bold and explicit: “for entertainment purposes only”?

Which is why its in the title and not the article? EntertainBait?

So you don’t understand why agriculture is the root of all our problems?

What exactly is “honest work”? Commenting bullshit on Lemmy like you? Using, I don’t know, technology that someone made, so you support that kind of work?

I missed a good old troll in the wild. Thanks.

Dumbest comment today.

Want to blame someone? Blame a farmer. We were doing fine until we invented agriculture.

But just like the tech worker, farmers today are not to blame for the problems introduced in the past.

Been doing this conversation online thing since the mid 80’s.

I have never blocked anyone.

People seem to use it all the time since social media became a thing, I always thought it was weird.

Was that because people did not learn to stay anonymous online?

I often play “update open street map”. Gotta get the lines just right, add some text, and everybody wins.

I can’t help you with full encryption after the fact, but if you do decide to do it, make a snapshot first. Clonezilla makes it easy, and you can encrypt it.

If anything goes wrong when you do the encryption, you can always roll back to your snapshot.

You may already know all that, but I thought I would mention it.

I use the same tool to make snapshot when I change OS and drives, and use the snapshot to make a VM. If I forgot anything in the new OS, it’s all their in the VM of my old OS.

Really? I always considered irfanview to be tolerable if I had to use windows but nothing special, and the licensing has issues.

Only ten years?

KDE, better then ever.

You need a Smart TV

No.

Nobody in their right mind connects their TV to the internet. If they do, well they are already fucked.

I would never give that clown a dime.

floatplane

With Linus? You couldn’t pay me to watch that.

Edit: I did grab a subscription to Nebula for a year for €25 because I like someone on there. Seemed reasonable for a whole year of everything they have, and I do like watching Legal Eagle these days.

YouTube is such a great source for adding skills and knowledge

Slowly though. Watching is wasting a lot of time, and nearly everyone on there stretches it out in the name of “content” and sponsers.

There are a few that don’t, but realistically, that knowledge is elsewhere. It’s a shame people don’t self host videos as much any more. I just embed them in my web page if I absolutely need to.

Or simply make the files available, which if you look around, a lot of them are out there, so download and watch at your pace, and delete when done.

got it. It is as simple as them adding the channel. It doesn’t have a lot of features, but it is serviceable.

Its done for me, there is nothing there I need to see.

Personally I think it’s time to just move on you tube is done.

But if it’s roku they can add the playlet channel. Youtube without ads.
