And they all develop their own shitty app for 2FA (the lazy ones just rebrand SecureGo as their own - you still have to install all of them separately) instead of using the 15 year old TOTP standard. The latter is good enough for tiny companies like Google and Amazon but what do they know about itsec, right?

A few more years tops.

I wrote it’s not wrong but the criticism is wrongly addressed. What you wrote is known and that’s why regulations exit. And still we have this kind of slavery. Don’t give your regulators a pass here.

I fear you are right. While I do believe that further policital abuse of that data is inevitable (Trump or the Malaysian civil war were at least partial results of campaigns of Cambridge Analytica, for example), people probably won’t see the impact data analysis had and how they’ve been manipulated.

where the f have these people been for the past 10 years?

They’ve been giving away their data for all that time and it hasn’t visible affected them negatively.

Of course it will eventually and they’ll Pikachu face then but that’s hardly comforting.

Would you agree that what makes Linux laughable as a replacement for consumers is how splitered or fractured it is?

Again, while you might have a point, your tone just sucks and makes me not want to interact with you.

Consumers can just pick one off-the-hook polished distro like Mint and are never even confronted with all the possible choices.

That and your average electrical engineer will consider an LED useful that signals the device has power.

Most probably then don’t consider where the device is actually used. In a well-lit office space that LED doesn’t annoy anyone.

I also think “year of the desktop” is a unicorn (even if it were to come, you wouldn’t pin it on one year - it’s a process) and I personally believe that if Windows is going to die, it will be replaced by some web-only shit instead of another local desktop-based OS.

However, Linux desktop adoption did increase quite steeply in the past few years and to a point I confidently moved also my wife’s and mother’s computers to Linux because it actually causes me less headache than Windows did.

So, no need to be condescending and sarcastic about it.

This is a good summary. It really depends on the game. There even are a few examples where a Windows native game runs faster on Linux with Proton.
