My partner keeps telling me to stop trying to install Linux on things… It will fix all the problems though! Like someone that only ever uses chrome they could just have an Ubuntu install and I am sure they will be able to manage using firefox.

If you genuinely think there is going to be a holocaust you should probably be planning assassination of government officials rather than complaining online.

Huh, didn’t know there was already a subscription option. Perhaps that is the first step

And you still can’t stop someone just playing it and recording the audio from outside of the VM.

I want to like GoG but their Linux support can be pretty awful at times. It took over a week for X4 to update the Linux version on GoG compared to steam that in the end I refunded it and bought on steam. Also proton is pretty nice to have.

I remember as kids we shared music by Bluetooth or copying files on a memory stick. You are not stopping that.

I don’t really watch TV much in the first place of my own choice. A few things my partner wants to watch but that’s about it. Music I get download with yt-dpl -x, I think that was it anyway as I set an alias for it

DoH!

Tbh I thought they would have already gone subscription by now. When they announced win11 after saying 10 was the last I was very surprised it wasn’t either free or subscription based. Now I wonder if they will at some point release win12 with AI tools behind pro and make that subscription only.

I use Linux so I won’t be touching it but will see how it goes. Usually end up having to know at least a little about this as people ask me to fix their windows PCs

Linux as my only OS since 2010 here and poked it a little before that. Using Windows is annoying for me at this point

Most users won’t. Users that are happy to fiddle with registry settings might be a little more likely to though

Do Americans actually do this?

I think that comment was sarcasm

Or you aren’t American

Pretty much. At some point stuff like this relies on everyone accepting it. The man in the high castle is a pretty good example of it actually. John didn’t grow up a nazi, doesn’t genuinely believe in it, but goes along with it so he can continue to provide for his family.

In the end what difference does it make it you are just going along with it or if you believe it?

Good thing we have other instances then. Maybe we need a Luigi instance

Hold out a £20 note and set fire to it in front of them. You know, like some of our politicians did when they were in uni.

I know its functionality I have never seen before on a hob or oven. Microwaves do but their timer is required to turn it on in the first place.

Oh they banned lemmy. Let me run limmy then, which is a suspiciously identical fork to lemmy. Also other countries exist so unless they want to go full on China good luck enforcing it if its hosted outside the US. If they do go full on China I can stop caring about the US as they become irrelevant to my internet experience.

How would it know which one to turn off if you had multiple things on? Timer could just as easily be for add the next ingredient as it could be for stop cooking.
