Something that I’ve been confused about ever since people have been talking about this, is that there didn’t seem to be a change of views from mobile devices. Like, I know that adblockers are less common on mobile devices because most people either don’t know they are available or aren’t using browsers that have/support (good) adblockers. But, was there really no noticeable change at all?
How is Windows 11 SE considered a competitor to Chrome OS? I haven’t heard of Windows 11 SE before just now and, from what I’ve read, it seems like it’s intended for a completely different purpose. It just looks like a stripped down version of Windows 11 that can’t run most applications and is intended for educational use, meanwhile Chrome OS wasn’t made for a specific purpose and is designed for general use.
According to Wikipedia, it’s still based on Gentoo, it just uses Debian for running Linux applications in Crostini.
If this happens, I’d be interested in seeing how this effects ChromeOS. I don’t use it but my mom does.
Also, if you’re confused as to why ChromeOS would be effected, while it’s based on Gentoo Linux, ChromeOS uses a modified version of Chrome as it’s Desktop Environment.
The thing that I don’t understand is that, if this is such a big problem for Microsoft, why not just remove the system requirements or at least make an alternative version of Windows 11 that, even if it lacks certain features, doesn’t have those requirements?
Microsoft wants people to switch to Windows 11 but a majority stay with Windows 10 because their systems don’t have what’s required and they’re either not willing to use Linux or they can’t for what ever their reason is. Making Windows 11 more accessible to Windows 10 users would fix this problem for most users but they’re not for some reason. I know they’re Microsoft and Microsoft doesn’t care about their users but they’re seemingly willing to lose a significant portion of their users over something so insignificant, which is out of character for Microsoft.
It seems like I can’t even use it anyways, lol. I’m using Linux Mint and the software required to build it is outdated.
Doesn’t this violate HIPAA, or does HIPAA not cover this?
I always use mine, the audio delay that bluetooth headphones have make them almost useless for me. I’m also not a fan of the fact that they either make loud noises or have some form of a voice to tell you when it’s either connected to a device or got a low battery.
Why? What benefit would Microsoft have in changing the requirements for Windows 11 when Windows 12 will more than likely be the OS they focus most of their resources on?
You know what, this makes me feel a lot better about using an ad-blocker when using their site. Although, I would prefer if the artists I listen to didn’t exclusively use Spotify for some reason.
I’ve never heard of Plex until now, what kind of porn does it actually have? I can’t imagine it being any different from Netflix unless they allow some really “hardcore” stuff.
I know that this is just Microsoft trying get user feedback but because it’s Microsoft, it still seems bad. It’s just seems so disingenuous when a company like Microsoft, that usually ignores all user feedback, tries to get user feedback for a product that, if they actually listened to user feedback, they would already know that a majority of Windows users don’t want.
I once saw someone running Doom on a pregnancy tester, so I’d imagine that it could run Linux as well.
I did that yesterday and it might have fixed it because I didn’t have the issue but I did try multiple things yesterday, so I’m not sure.
I’m not having the issue anymore, I’m not sure what fixed it though as I tried multiple things yesterday.
Also, I’m not using an NVME, I’m actually just using an old laptop hard drive with one of those hard drive cases that basically converts it into an external hard drive.
There’s also PixelCanvas, which has a much bigger area than r/place.
While I’m fine with Linux most of the time, the few times I got frustrated with Linux was when I was following instructions and getting different results because either information was wrong or there were steps that weren’t included. A few examples I can think of are:
There are a lot of games that I’ve played (mainly from Itch) that offer a Linux version, but that version isn’t tested and often times has mismatched libraries. In one case, they forgot to bundle the Linux version with the game’s assets and only included the executable.
A lot of Linux installation guides just tell you that you can just install the distro from it’s LiveCD. Maybe this is the case for some computers but every computer that I’ve installed Linux onto required some extra steps. I’ve always had to disable secure boot and then re-enable it after installing but I’ve never seen a guide mention that, just some random answers on askubuntu that suggested it. They also never mention that you should use the LiveCD to make sure that everything is working properly.
There are some emulators that I’ve never gotten the Linux versions of to work properly and I can only get the Windows versions to work properly. PCem keeps telling me it can’t find any bios even though I put them into the specified folder. Mesen (the pre-Mesen2 version) runs but I can’t change any of the settings and the only documentation that exists is for the Windows version.
Nope, I actually deleted my Reddit account. I already had low support for Reddit because of the response they gave after the last time there was a Reddit blackout. I had been using Lemmy on and off on my old account on the main instance, so when the recent blackout happened, I gave Reddit one last chance but the way they handled the situation was the last straw for me. I came back to my account on Lemmy and used it until the main Lemmy instance started having server problems due to the influx of users.
That works, thanks.
I would say that I’m glad that I don’t live in Texas but the state I live in has also been slowly following this Nazi rhetoric as well, so it’s only a matter of time before we’re effected as well.
