I had been using Linux for home and work for the past 10 years, dual booting for games mostly (do basically only to use steam).

Recently I had to change jobs and was given a windows laptop. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the candy crush ad is still present on corporate devices. In a $3500 workstation from a fortune 50. What the hell.

I managed to get a Mac instead. IT is still laughing about me for asking Linux instead

There are at least 5 openly independentist parties, some of which held government, in Catalonia.

How many are there in China?

those identified as leaders or significant participants in secessionist activities, and classify actions causing “significant harm to the state and its people” as offenses that may result in the death penalty.

I have this cherry for you to pick, if you want. Anyway, if your point is “independentism is not exclusively punished by death in China”… Yay? Best dictatorship ever.

ELI5: what does this mean for the end user? Is there any simple test I can do with both to see this?

Should have been called The Legend of Link just to perpetuate the confusion

Keep that in mind next time you consider giving money to Microsoft. I definitely do.

I’m just playing devil’s advocate, and never es l was this name more appropriate.

For an outsider, it was very funny to see women fully dressed for a night out, riding with an umbrella and speaking on the phone at the same time.

Devil’s advocate: the login requires a server, so even old versions won’t work unless they keep them online. And without support, they will be easy target for hackers.

I hate this, and honestly the best would have been to not change the logging at all. I bought a game that didn’t need a MS account to play and this change doesn’t bring any benefit.

Notable products manufactured by Foxconn include the BlackBerry,[6] iPad,[7] iPhone, iPod,[8] Kindle,[9] all Nintendo gaming systems since the GameCube, Nintendo DS models, Sega models, Nokia devices, Cisco products, Sony devices (including most PlayStation gaming consoles), Google Pixel devices, Xiaomi devices, every successor to Microsoft’s Xbox console,[10] and several CPU sockets, including the TR4 CPU socket on some motherboards. As of 2012, Foxconn factories manufactured an estimated 40% of all consumer electronics sold worldwide.[11]

Foxconn is used by A LOT of companies. While I’m always ready to shit on apple for their double standards, let’s not pretend they are the only ones. All those in the quote and many more deserve their share of shitting on.

To be clear, I’m not whatabouting, it’s more “yes, and let’s have the rest accountable too”. I know you’re not saying they only produce Apple, but this is overlooked too often

Being OOS doesn’t change that they read the last one that worked consistently for me. I’m not recommending to use it, just stating my experience.

Not sure were the business comment comes from.

Aside from blocking the add-ons site, they might block the update servers. Linux wouldn’t be affected I think (unless they block rpm, apt… As a whole), but on windows I think it updates from Firefox servers directly.

There are probably ways around it, but it’s a burden for the windows users.

If only the article has that same tone, comments would be more positive.

LGTB are fighting an uphill battle against false accusations of grooming. “This idol activist was also a groomer” is not helping.

“My commitment: We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win,” he wrote. “We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.”

Either he’s full of shit, he did after a horse for sex or both.

It’s time to face reality. That stock you bought at 300 is not going to recover any time soon.

Cut your loses and stop defending your favorite billionaire.

That would be true for the median, but not for the average

Newest versions don’t work very well. The only over that worked consistently got me read 2010.

I think part of the issue is that it’s quite integrated with the system and that makes it harder. Crossover lists 2013 as working, but 2021 as not even installing

The first one I’ve never encountered, but I also never heard about those (only razor). Fit girl always works (the one with Amelie). I’ve tried others and also worked.

It could be those installers have dependencies that are not in your base bottle?

If the alternative is Microsoft, you’re between a rock and another rock that used to claim not being evil.

Libreoffice all the way. Most users don’t need more than that.

Pixel 8 pro already does. I’m not sure, but I think Samsung has something too.

I didn’t downvote it, but I really didn’t like the video. It goes like “the things that are problems in Linux” and then starts talking about an extremely customized system, from DE to kernel, to audio…

I don’t think he gets, in general at least, to explain why those are needed, just how complex it all is. It would have been more interesting to say “this are the problems with an out of the box distro, and the hurdles it took me go fix each one”.

Mind you, this doesn’t mean I think a fresh install of Ubuntu can perfectly work for him. But knowing what didn’t work and why might be more helpful for people considering the same
