I missed that part xD

Just with the rant thought of the root of this problem, and that is the general populace and how they use it xD

Just keep in mind that installing an app via the respective app stores (just install, not custom settings) is often the limit of what people can, and are willing to do.

People just simply don't have the time, willpower and/or knowledge to get a controlled LAN working. It's similar to how you don't expect everyone being able to fly a helicopter, or build a car from scratch.

Because (in NL) you're supposed to wear a full protective suit with padding and a helmet, or get a significantly worse ticket and potential loss of head/limb.

It is. From my experience a couple months back its crisp. Not the highest graphics, and it took a little getting used to from a high-end PC, but it was really nice. In certain aspects even preferable xD

To clarify, as youve not understood the joke, nor read the comments. As far as I understand it, were you to start sailing at the first point, you never have to turn to arrive at the second. That's why it's "straight". On the 2d plane you are completely correct however.

For proper and better informed explanations read the other comments :D

I need permission to load/send data (not sure) via the email. Something something security something something good (but bad)

I mostly want to switch since it feels better. It's a first big step into becoming independent from Microsoft, and I don't like the way they're going with LLM's among other things (I.E. totally oblivious of any security issues or broken code until the internet/EU spanks'm for it)

The main reason though, windows 10 has ShapeCollector.exe to help windows learn your writing style. Windows 11 removed that, and just didn't replace it with anything. Really irks me that.

In terms of thunderbird, school needs to grant permission, which I did ask for. Don't think they've granted it though.

On that last part, theres a difference between elevating a file to admin, and being an admin in Windows.

In a lot of cases the ui is GREATLY simplified when not an admin, to the point where you might only have like 20% of all available options.

For the standard user? Great! Not when you're messing around with permissions.

It's why you ALWAYS log in as Admin when setting up a windows server. Iirc you can't even install tiles without actually being an admin, even if you have all logins.


From my experience with windows, your current guess is correct btw :D

TF is crate ent. on about? They've not even made an RTS, let alone one with love and care out into it? They've got an RPG* (grim dawn) and a city builder (farthest frontier) on steam. Neither come anywhere close to what an RTS is supposed to be, and like others have said, Dune (don't know the specific name), C&C, warcraft and StarCraft we're all impressive mainstream games, all RTS.

Haven't read the post, but what if kind of detached world do they live in?

He has though. Its just not on his main channel. I think his podcast is still up and running, and although I haven't checked it lately the mailing service may be as well
