Hell yeah bro same. I’ve been amazed at how much better Linux is in just about every way, except for native software availability, but it’ll get there. I feel like Microsoft is approaching the tipping point for shit people will put up with, and desktop Linux is so good now that non-technical people can move over to it.

The short answer is that they don’t believe any of the things OP said, or they can overlook them because they believe worse things about Biden/the democrats.

No.

No, it’s obviously better to have the choice (run the game or not). And losing a game that previously worked on Linux is obviously a bad thing, hence the joke about it being good.

Of course you could argue that taking a stance against this kind of intrusive anticheat is good in the long run. If Microsoft had a backbone they’d do the same.

But yeah losing games because of anticheat is obviously a bad thing lol. No need to take it so seriously.

Hey bud. The original comment was a joke.

The drag and drop thing is because it’s an app file. “Installation” is just putting the file in your application folder, or wherever you want it. Apps are (usually) just files, unlike on windows, so you don’t need to go through a complicated installation process, just put them where you want them (usually the applications folder).

The window snapping thing is annoying (but it’s not apple’s fault, Microsoft has a patent on it lol). There’s a bunch of free apps that add window snapping though 🤷‍♀️

Hm yeah weird. I tried chrome just to test and the scrolling is definitely slightly different but I don’t think it’s smoother. Just kinda tweaked differently I guess. Haven’t tried bromite tho.

Feels exactly the same to me (if not slightly faster due to adblocking). You might just be mistaking familiarity with Chrome for it being tangibly better.

This is a very popular opinion lol.

Damn really? I didn’t notice any difference in DiMaggio’s voice but maybe I need to binge the old seasons as I haven’t watched them in a while.

Fry’s voice sounds the same but just slower. Feel like they could fix it by just asking Billy West to talk faster.

Your experiences are valid and I’m not trying to invalidate them, but I do think a lot of the positives you’re talking about come from it just being an electric car, rather than it being a Tesla specifically.

If you are on the market in a few years or so I’d definitely recommend checking out what other brands have to offer, as they’ve finally caught up to Tesla and even surpassed them in some ways.

I’m sure you would have researched all the options anyway though, as you seem like a smart guy.

First result searching for “Tesla reliability”. They’re ranked 27th out of 28 automakers by Consumer Reports with an average of 171 mechanical issues per 100 vehicles, many of these issues being impossible to repair without going through Tesla themselves (though this is becoming more common amongst automakers, it’s still bad lol).

I’m glad your wife’s Tesla has been reliable though. Electric cars by design have the opportunity to be far more reliable due to fewer moving parts and regenerative braking, but unfortunately Tesla are not really living up to that potential.

Engineer here. I wouldn’t buy a Tesla. They’re safe cars (outside of the self driving tech) but their reliability is awful. I’m not in the market for a new car right now but I expect by the time I am, Tesla will likely no longer be the dominant player in the EV market. I appreciate the engineering that went into making them so safe and performant, but every aspect of them that Elon touches is awful, and they’ve arguably already squandered their headstart in the electric car space.

Reddit went batshit for his mediocre lewd drawings of an underage character (I think he called her Chloe?) a few years back. Shit legitimately made me want to leave Reddit at the time but Lemmy wasn’t a thing yet.

The stuff about recording your camera/tracking eyes/recording mic are all bullshit (ish). That stuff is all possible, and does happen, but not from popular apps. You don’t really need to worry about that unless you’re going to really dodgy websites (and giving them access to your camera/mic), OR if you’re a high profile figure who may be targeted by far more sophisticated attacks. These privacy invasions are uncommon in popular websites and apps because it’s very easy for users to discover that kind of data/processing usage, and the blow to their reputation is far more expensive than the profits they’d get from recording you (not even sure what the commercial incentive would be for that). There are thousands of nerds like me in the cyber security industry who monitor websites network activity for this kind of shady shit, so they wouldn’t get away with it.

Location is a far cheaper (and less conspicuous, data-usage-wise) process, so far more apps will be recording that. Google, Facebook, Apple, and likely dozens more companies know exactly where you’ve been throughout the day, whether by GPS or by wifi (maps of the locations of different wifi networks exist).

As for targeted advertising - any app or website that has a share button for Facebook or other apps is most likely sharing your usage habits with those apps. This is a symbiotic relationship for the apps/websites, because letting Facebook know you’ve been searching their site for X means Facebook will start showing you ads for X, and you might go and purchase from them after seeing that ad. Many believe their phones are listening to them because their targeted advertising is so specific, but the reality is they don’t need to listen to you. They get far better info from your searches and browsing history.

Sorry no sources at the moment because I’m at the gym, but I guess my source is that I graduated with a bachelor’s in cyber security in February lol.

You can think of it like HTTPS. It’s just rules for computers to talk to each other. If your computer follows those rules, it can talk to the other computers that adhere to those rules. These rules are necessary because otherwise the internet is just a bunch of 1s and 0s, you need rules to tell computers which 1s and 0s to send, and rules to tell computers what those 1s and 0s mean.

The World Wide Web Consortium are developing this set of rules, just as they’ve developed many other rules. They’re a non-profit organisation just kinda trying to make the web a better place.

Other instances can always wall them out from the beginning. Sure, they might have better UI/servers, but if they’re never federated they’ve essentially just created another Facebook.

The couple of times I’ve checked Reddit since leaving, the top posts have seemed lower effort. A lot more reposts than I remember there being. And the comments are meaner than before.
