What do you expect us to do? I don't buy anti-consumer products as much as possible and I advise everyone I know to do the same. I explain why things are bad, but most people don't care enough to listen. On top of that, these companies collude so that all the options end up being anti-consumer bullshit and you're stuck trying to find the least bad one.

I don't know Oracle's product but the company I work for has had a ton of people working on VDI for like 15 years now. It's a solved problem. The only real annoying part was that it required pretty solid bandwidth and people would try using it on shitty Internet and then expect us to fix it. I'm kind of surprised it took this long for a consumer version to get off the ground. I would never use it because it sounds like a privacy nightmare but most people don't think about that shit.

How? There's barely anything I've written on my own name that an AI would have access to and I change details constantly in my anonymous posts.

15 minutes on a weeknight is like 1/8th of the time I have to myself. Two hours of the weekend is a much smaller chunk

Same. If it's something I can just rinse or wipe down I'll do it now but if it's going to require elbow grease it will keep til Saturday (or soak til tomorrow when it will be rinse and wipeable). Saturdays are for cleaning. Every few weeks I take a Monday so I can deep clean without regret.

I use none of those and my lower back is fine. Lifting weights fixed all that shit almost immediately.

The world starts make a lot more sense when you realize the vast majority of people are just trying to be part of a herd and are either scared to think for themselves or completely incapable. It explains all the gargling of corporate nuts we see at every turn.

The company I work for makes us. We have chrome but they're constantly threatening to remove it and if you have a technical issue with something web based and you're not using edge IT won't help you.

Okay yeah that was the impression I had too. I was excited when I first heard about it but from what I read it didn't seem like you could do much with it. I'm still interested in playing around with it though if I find some free time. Ham didn't really interest me as it requires a license which kind of defeats the purpose of this imo.

I will simply continue to maintain my old ass civic until it rusts to bits. Something will probably kill me by then anyway.

What're the data rates like on meshtastic and ham? Wasn't looking great when I briefly looked at it.

Until the government beats down the door of whoever's not following their BS laws and shuts them down.

 

I've backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?
