Speaking of enshittification… why just post a youtube video with zero explanation of the content?

Cunts.

I guess my 13 year abstention from purchasing Ubisoft games continues (bought HoMMVI and experienced Uplay in 2012, vowed never again).

Even better do journalctl -r -b -1 to get the latest logs first

Or you can just do journalctl -r --since "5min ago" if it just happened

Seems like PEBCAK to me. What an embarrassing article for someone who is supposed to know about PCs for a living.

I think the author only knows about very popular games and Windows as opposed to PCs in general.

The killswitch isn’t safe for bittorrent on your own PC as they have a tendency to expose your IP briefly when the connection drops before it kicks in. Binding your torrent client to your VPN network is 100% reliable though so no need for a seedbox.

Fair enough, I totally agree about Ubuntu, although Mint doesn’t have most of the bad Ubuntu stuff. What it does benefit from is Ubuntu’s superior hardware support, PPAs (most important for up-to-date Mesa) and GUI stuff like Driver Manager/Update Manager. For a beginner or casual user there’s no contest.

Yes, I know Mint is downstream of Ubuntu, that’s how I know it doesn’t include Snaps. What exactly other “nonsense” is there or was your statement just a general LMDE puritan hand-wave?

Which Ubuntu stuff does Mint Cinnamon have? I thought the point of Mint was that they removed a bunch of that stuff like Snaps.

Private trackers are the WoW raiding guilds of piracy xD

It was a couple of years ago. Continuing enshittification of Windows pissed me off enough to look into it (10/11 restricting of options, CoPilot, various bloat etc).

2 years later, i’m running Mint on my laptop, Arch on my desktop, a server with OpenMediaVault and a miniPC with Batocera. My computer life has never been better!

To be fair, most people who use Windows are ignorant of any of this stuff so while I guess they are technically part of the problem (debatably), it’s not knowingly. With that in mind it seems unwise to tar them all with the same brush and set them up as the enemy if we hope to convince any of them to abandon it.

Just my usual Ski Jumping vods, maybe some anime. Always look forward to the Four Hills tournament.

Have loads of game to play already, will start the Metro series soon.
