Bread and circuses. They're gouging us on the bread and making the circuses inaccessible, these dipshits are practically begging for a red terror, by making the worst outcome still better than the ongoing white.
If I were making their decisions for them; I'm not sure I could do much better at priming the populace for revolution.
Then wait until windows breaks it or it technically functions trapped in an unusable shell, and lose everything.
Vlc is pretty good, and I run a pretty strange distro. If I'm extra scared, I'll use qubes or get a sacrifice machine.
I think the poor having culture is important. Either art is important, or it Fucking isn't. You seem to be arguing its the frivolity, not the substance and fruit of civilization.
Video isnt my favorite medium, I have a lot of criticisms of it, but its still art, still precious. And so everyone deserves to have it.
This is true. Hence the piracy. Only way to go ad free.
Yeah that sounds probable, and I'm worried what happens to all the data on windows machines when they do.
See, ive had Linux problems, but my problem with windows is that I gave to actively fight the system to get anything done. It feels like PvP, and there's fiat bullshit reverts of stuff. And the GUI is runny garbage!
Linux isn't good enough, I agree.
But windows is far enough into enshitification that it isnt either anymore, and its getting worse. So fucking fast; its getting worse. I fucking miss usable windows; I'd still be on 7 if I could. But I can't.
So if at this point Linux isn't adequate, that means computers aren't adequate. I use Linux so I don't lose my computer, so it can do something at least.
Linux isnt quite ready for prime time.
But neither is windows anymore, and Linux isnt generally shitting itself and taking features, features you might rely on away from you
The fucking precarity of modern windows, man. Plus the amount it must spy on you.
Not even gnome is this fucking awful.
We just need to stop using this garbage. Its not going to get better. Migrate to Linux and hope for support.
Wine does a Lotta shit. I know I have an NTFS drive running on my debian-family machine.
Why? Why even fucking do this? What do they get? And why is their default ux so aggressively terrible?
Not a jump scare; conservation. The warm fuzzy part?
Why do you want people in charge without coordination? That seems remarkably unpleasant.
