That sounds like a cool concept. I’ll have to look into this “Lemmy” thing.

The AI race ends with everyone running cheap local models and no business being able to profit from them.

He’s slacking off at the office, obviously.

Not yet. Had to manually download.

It doesn’t look like it does. It has multiple stackable windows, though.

Yes, finally! I’ve been using the mobile app, and it has been nothing but amazing.

D4 bad. POE2 good.

No, it is Cunningham’s law, demonstrated by you.

But they did misinterpret it, did they not? Didn’t you say you were Chinese?

If so you should know that “getting licked” is the Chinese equivalent of “getting your ass kissed”. You wouldn’t be called sexist for saying you get your ass kissed.

That depends entirely on the currency.

Ethereum l2 has way lower (less than a tenth) transaction fees than credit cards and barely has an impact at all on the environment because there is no mining.

And cryptocurrencies do have consumer protection services but no one ever uses them.

More importantly, however, Visa and mastercard collude and boycott japanese anime and manga websites because they think anime and manga promote gender stereotypes, so credit cards can fuck right off.

This. Why would anyone want their private conversations, out there? Don’t put your password in you will. Put a dead man switch on your PC.

If it is to close down a social media account they can contact the company directly.

If it is to take out money, they can contact the bank directly.

If it is to inform contacts, they can live without knowing.

If it is to cancel subscriptions, you’re going to have to send letters, wait in a phone call for hours, and cancel the credit card either way because of scummy cancellation practices.

Host it on the tor network.

Host it on web 3.0.

Host it outside the US.

Host it over torrents and i2p.

This is why I was secretly rooting for Aether to take off instead of Lemmy.

The one war I hope both sides get annihilated in.

Security updates means patches against exploits like spectre/meltdown, not antivirus updates. You’ll still be getting antivirus updates on windows 10.

Which means that until such an exploit has been discovered, windows 10 would be safer than windows 11 since windows 10 does have a countermeasure against spectre/meltdown while windows 11 doesn’t. Windows 11 literally does not provide security updates to unsupported computers, and the exploits are already known.

You usually don’t need proprietary software and drivers on Linux because of the great general purpose open source alternatives. Even on Windows, a ton of the drivers are actually useless and only bloat your system or perform invasive telemetry.

Personally I don’t even use the RGB features on my gaming PC, but OpenRGB is open source and lightweight. I would probably use it over proprietary RGB profiles even on Windows. You should give it a try.

GPU fan control is already available by default in most Linux distributions and should require no additional drivers.

AMD always have Linux drivers. The Linux adrenaline driver is here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.html

SSD/NVME firmware updates should also already be supported by default in linux. With for example fwupdmgr.

High refresh rate displays should also work out the box on the modern distributions. On Linux Mint and Ubuntu they have a GUI for it, but changing resolution and refresh rate with Xrandr also only takes one or two terminal commands. There likely is software to do it, but if anything I could write you a script that does it if your distribution doesn’t already have GUI for it. I had to write a script to adjust some of my monitors’ drawing area because I mirror, but my displays don’t have the same aspect ratio.

Try BriscCAD. It is very similar to AutoCAD and supports their files.

Revit seems to work fine with Wine, and although wineHQ reports Tekla performance as garbage, that was a very long time ago. It probably works better now.

If you’d rather risk becoming a botnet node than to even consider using alternative software then you are absolutely using it wrong.

If your computer doesn’t support win11, then switching to Linux before win10 ends is the only right choice. The other less right choices are:

Stay on win10, Upgrade to win11 and disconnect it from the network and the internet permanently.

The worst choice is do what OP did.

Except most big open source project are developed by companies, and only the tiny ones aren’t. This applies to all open source projects on all platforms.

Also, most of them already are better. People just don’t want to change their layouts and workflows. And people also don’t value privacy, which if they would, they wouldn’t rate the proprietary software as half as good.

I didn’t say all applications work. I said use better ones.

As for hardware, less computers support win11 than Linux. You can run Linux on 40 year old computers, and on brand new computers.

Ans this article is literally about bypassing the restrictions that were put in place to protect users with CPUs that have the specte and meltdown vulnerabilities. You’re safer on win10 even after they stop supporting it than win11.
