Well they want “official” tech support from a company which they can hold accountable for any problems.

Topic aside: I want to play resident evil requiem. do i have to play previous games as well? I haven’t played any.

I just have one kernel and one Distro with secure boot. So I directly use UEFI.

I have an idea. Linux should start automatically everytime you boot you PC.

Whatever helps you sleep at night :)

because you enjoy corporate oversight and ads? or because you don’t see the benefit to you personally?

Bruh. Everything doesn’t have to be political. I simply don’t have the time, energy and willingness to learn and contribute to a project which people in my community are not even going to use. The incentive simply isn’t their for anyone when there is already a perfectly working solution—as much as I hate to say—from Google. I wish OSM and the maps & navigation apps using it were more popular and better but they aren’t simply because they don’t have dedicated teams.

Google Maps also get contributions from the community (which is much larger than OSM). So google benefits from volunteer contributions as well as their own teams mapping stuff around the world which OSM can never match. It isn’t something like Search, Drive or Photos that can be replaced by a community driven FOSS alternative. It requires huge funding.

I throw a lot of shit at Google but Google Maps is the best piece of software they have ever created. I wish OSM was this upto date with their data but it has a long way to go. I think this that piece of software which needs a big dedicated team or at-least paid volunteers instead of community volunteers because there ain’t no way I am going out to volunteer for free to map out my neighbourhood accurately.

Lol I used to think they scrapped the maps app entirely. Surprised it still exists. Who even uses it outside the US?

it’s optional now but can be mandatory later? It literally takes a baby monkey’s brain to understand that.

Also this is literally in the PR:

Stores the user’s birth date for AGE VERIFICATION, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc.

Good. I will avoid those websites.

I mean if you live within walking/public transport distance of stuff, you don’t need a car thus you don’t need a parking (or as americans call it — the driveway) or the garage in the house, thus you don’t need as big as of a house on the ground floor which can be used by a store, restaurant or cafe instead and people can live above it. It’s a win-win for residents, store owners below, environment, urban planning and communities.

They bred and we got fedora.

It is always like this. Make a very anti consumer decision that everyone hates, then tone it down so the half of those people will say “we won”. This is a loss.

Repeat with me.

INSTALL LINUX!

DLSS 8: Your eyes have AI

(Wasn’t that a Microsoft patent?)

Yep

How does it sit right that a machine is making stuff that is fundamentally supposed to be human creativity and imagination. This is just going make every game look the same with more annoying imperfections that humans won’t make.

DLSS 6: You don’t even need to design your game. AI will generate it in real time.🤡

If someone is dying in a war you have waged, then you are not the one making that sacrifice.

TBH I prefer the modern minimal UIs. It is easy to understand. Although I don’t mind having an option.

I wish I had a cool aunt like Veronica.
