Hi I’m Tim.
I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.
Just go CachyOS if you can’t be bothered with Arch proper. Running an insecure container layer that brings another whole distro so you can run an app is weird when flatpaks exist for this purpose, and are much better suited for this. Seems like you’re creating a “problem” that doesn’t exist and then coming up with the most complicated way to solve this made up “problem”.
When companies have to start funding their own networks because ISPs are all down, or just known to be compromised due to bad actors, it’s going to hit capitalism over the head pretty hard. This is a great way to tank the stock market though if you are betting against “Tech” companies.
Carr said the vote scheduled for November 20 comes after “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.”
Well if they say their doing it, then surely they are, and not just because the law your trying to change required them to. It’s like when Republicans want to deregulate the banks because they are doing so well not exploiting predator loans and/or over leveraging loans trying to make even more $. Deregulation cannot, and will not, work in a capitalist environment. Regulation is the guard rails required to keep capitalism from cannibalizing itself.
I meant changing to Linux doesn’t make sense for you if the games you play have 0% compatibility on Linux. I was agreeing with you! I guess I could have worded that better, sorry about that.
The big issue is I think a large percentage of that group of gamers would love to drop the overhead of Windows but devs are making games designed around Windows lock-in because that is where the user base is. It’s like a circular scenario where unless one of them is willing to break the circle it’s going to continue for the foreseeable future.
I think the point is that they outnumber us by many billions, but humans see themselves as ruling the earth because of our size.
I agree that for you it doesn’t make sense, but outside of the “competitive” FPS genre compatibility covers most everything else, minus things with crazy kernel level DRM rootkits. But you really shouldn’t be playing those on Windows either IMHO. And if more people didn’t support them on Windows devs might be forced to use compatible anti-cheat that would benefit gamers on all platforms.
I’m also a casual gamer that will just move onto something else in my backlog if a dev breaks proton compatibility.
If they were a “computer person” enough to know how, or willing to let the Geek Squad over charge them for something as simple as installing more RAM or HD upgrade. But yes, it’s not like a TPM that would require a motherboard swap, which isn’t a thing for laptops outside of Framework (and then only just recently).
Some people did as they didn’t meet that min specs, but it wasn’t for something silly like the TPM requirement. Locking 11 behind a non-serviceable upgrade is artificially creating e-waste, and they should be forced to pay for it all to be properly recycled, but capitalism cares more about making the graph go up than becoming the earth from Wall-E
The same was said when Microsoft sunset XP and “forced” everyone to use Windows 10 - the last Windows™.
Well doing it themselves would be ambitious for a small dev, which would almost certainly lead to devs using these fly-by-night “verification” companies that you hope are doing the right thing with everyones info.
This sounds like a headache for Google and Apple, and if I was a small dev I would just geo-block Texas rather than jump through their useless hoops.
I think the documentary “How Music Got Free” takes anyone that was around back then right back to the days of scene races, FTP top sites, and IRC bots. And the documentary is about music, but it was the same for most all other media also (movies/games/etc.).
I have already been researching this very topic myself, and I’m thinking I’m either going GraphenOS or off to Apple’s walled garden. I’m hesitant to try something like the ONEPLUS, as they are running a reskinned Android which is the thing I hate about Samsung, and why I’d never buy another.
Low effort/slop videos are different than your right-wing mis/disinformation, conspiracy theory, white supremacy videos though. By all the platforms giving Trump back his accounts they have said they are OK with those again, it’s just the low effort/slop they care about. However, if those circles cross, I’m sure AI slop spreading hate would be now OK.
That sounds like it could be a codec issue, have not experienced any of that on my TV’s or Linux boxes.
Not sure these channels even are (they look like slop vids) , but YouTube is supposed to be taking the ban hammer to low effort and slop videos starting this month. A little housekeeping will be greatly appreciated, as the slop/low effort/“look at me bro!” videos have gotten out of hand.
And outside the US even, and had tens-to-hundreds of thousands of customers over just a 2 year span to boot!

I was suggesting a Flatpak from a supported project over a random package from wherever being run as root on their box, yes.
And I just don’t see why I would install another insecure layer that is just going to use Docker/Podman, why not just install Docker/Podman and be done. And for a desktop app installing a Flatpak seems like a better tool than a pod/docker container if you can’t get a native package.
