I had someone here on lemmy literally tell me that history doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. The ignorance was fucking astounding.
Lemmy is very STEM-brained, maybe even more than Reddit
My favorite is when you point out someone outside the USA lives in a country where they shouldn't be throwing stones in their glass house continue to do so.
Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren't necessary and a waste of processing power.
Can't really reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
Were they arguing that extra antivirus wasn’t necessary? Cause windows built in has been better than alternatives for years now (well, idk about 11, but 7, 8, and 10 all had good antivirus).
When I was a strapping young lad, I would rather just reinstall the system in case of viruses than living with the antivirus software
It's been long enough I don't think I could faithfully remember the details of their argument. I think they were insisting that no AV was needed at all though, not that Windows' built in protections are sufficient, which has indeed been true for a while.
Unfortunately a lot of AV “solutions” on Windows are proprietary which makes it a no for me.
Windows Defender has been sufficient for most users for a while. Which is just a default part of the OS unless you go out of your way to remove it.
Are there any open source av programs, and any that don't cost money?
Just use Linux and don't be an idiot on the Internet
I want to switch to linux for sure, both in phone and computer. Too late on the idiot part. Just joking though I've not said anything prosecutable.
