I don’t think he actually wants to play any game, I think the satisfaction comes from having all the consoles and making them all worrk together.

It’s more a collectors high thand a gamer’s.

As always, the problem isnt using a new service or super secure app, the problem is making everyone else I talk to use said app, not happening anytime soon sadly.

If you want the best of both worlds, go for EndeavourOS, an arch based distro.

Pretty chill GUI installer, only comes with the basic stuff and what you choose in the installer, like the desktop environment.

A few clicks and you have a functional arch install with everything setup.

Developer Stackholder: Am I pushing the wrong ideas onto the managers?

No, it’s the developers who don’t know how to implement the features I want.

It also helps you getting a starting point when you don’t know how ask a search engine the right question.

But people misinterpret its usefulness and think It can handle complex and context heavy problems, which must of the time will result in hallucinated crap.

I see, that’s greatif it is only locally installed and used, messing with PATH could, probably, break stuff like nvm or others

what if I wanted to use deno or bun? I don’t think that should be their decision to install “default” stuff that have alternatives

I’m all for their improvement tho

Yeah, there are a lot of security layers checks that big providers handle that most beginners users don’t even know exist.

I can’t imagine the damage of someone breaching through your server and reaching your personal network.

Also an extra machine, if you plan to have 99% uptime.

hell yeah, endeavour is such an underrated arch distro, almost plug and play

running kde?

let’s just host all these services for free am I right? who needs to pay energy bills anyway

that would drastically reduce the numbers, a better alternative would be an easier exam with regular re-evaluations, so they keep updated on current regulations

also that would leave a nice groundwork for sueability, since they are supposed to know the laws they didn’t enforce correctly

There’s also few but existing examples of people that resist the selling urge, like the VLC dev

I use their mail system, and it’s pretty good ngl

the problem isn’t switching, the problem is making all the other people using It to switch too, not everyone cares about security or ads

yes, because the average user doesn’t even know there are different browsers, and that they can change the default one, which is great to “vendor lock” your own browser, in this case Safari from iOS

you’re welcome, my endeavoros desktoo theme just shot itself on the head, I don’t even use nvidia, jesus

yeah, discord do be like that

on hindsight they are trying to implement a “forum” like experience, where you can create a dedicated threads channel where you csn search previous threads, but it’s not exactly like a real forum, pretty useful tho

absolutely

while It is a little weaker than the competition and at a higher price, It’s a piece o tech that will last far longer

in 5 or 10 years you would only need to pay for a new cpu or gpu, meanwhile with other brands you’d have to buy a new laptop altogether

and having the ability to swap your IO whenever and with whatever you need, is a game changer for some folks

I don’t think that’s the right perspective to have on this, a good action isn’t bad just because It wasn’t the best action possible.

And the solution you brought upon, would still leave the first problem afloat, “great, we reduced plastic consumption, but who’s going to remove the plastic that is already in there?”, It’s a paradox you see? If he chooses option A, people will burn him at the stake because he didn’t choose option B.

I was skeptical at first when I first got aware of him, then I did some research and there’s a ton of philanthropy there, lots of people got some help they needed.

EVEN if it’s done with ulterior motives, the non changing fact is that people indeed were helped.

Whichever motives he has behind his persona, he has helped more people than most could or would’ve helped in their entire lifetimes.

So you’re suggesting him to:

Drop out of his job (which you may not know).

Stop earning an amount of money that, may or may not be utterly necessary to keep his lifestyle (which you may not know).

Spend months or years learning a new technology, meanwhile unemployed or with a job that may or may not sustain his previous expenses (expenses which you may not know).

Re-make every single project that he owns to a new platform while adapting every single thing to a new environment, meanwhile solving a waterfall of bugs and refactoring problems, ultimately consuming hundreds of hours (bugs which you may not know).

After living miserably for a while, hunt for companies that somehow are using an open source tool that, most of the time, won’t tick all the boxes a company needs from a tool (companies and boxes which you don’t know).

Miraculously find such company and, miraculously rise to a position high enough that you can make a decision which changes the whole core of the development team, impacts licensing for other tools, new hires, compatibilities, and god knows what more down the line (changes which you may not know).

You’re suggesting that he goes down years of an even more uncertain path… just because you feel like It? To me It sounds like an Evil person’s plan. How can you be so assertive saying something which you may not know about? Jesus
