Find me on Mastodon, if you want.
I have skipped through every single mandatory interactive training thing I’ve ever been assigned and passed the quiz at the end using basic common sense. Every time.
I swear it only exists for the bottom 1% of the workforce who are, in this day and age, are somehow dumb enough to still fall for email scams that have been around for longer than I have.
Yes, not everything needs to work. But everyone needs the things they want to work, if that makes sense. In other words: everyone has different requirements.
I require SteamVR to run acceptably in order to play VR games on my main computer. I have yet to find a distro that satisfies this requirement, so I must use Windows since it is the only thing that works for that use case.
Conversely, I do not require VR support on my laptop. Everything I want to do with my laptop can be done to an acceptable level with Linux, so I run Linux on my laptop. Simple.
Some software unfortunately requires it. Yes, Wine/Proton exists, but it doesn’t fix everything.

Changing the UI elements isn’t the reason why Android exists. The purpose of a phone’s OS is to act like a phone. Both Android and iOS do this perfectly well. If they didn’t, nobody would use them. Everything else they can do is just a nice bonus.
Don’t get me wrong, I much prefer Android because of those features (plus I hate walled gardens), but I think your usage of the word “purpose” might be a bit of a stretch here.
What? Cars and trucks are built for different purposes. Do you think Android phones and iPhones are built for different purposes?
They’re not really that different. They both have apps which you open and use to do different things. In a car that would likely be to communicate with people, listen to music, or to navigate.
I think it’s a bug. I tried watching something a few hours ago and it also wouldn’t start. There’s a bunch of CORS errors in the console. It also won’t play on my phone either. I’m using Firefox on both, so it’s kind ironic that the “privacy-respecting” frontend won’t work on the (relatively) more privacy-respecting browser.
e2e encryption makes it difficult to provide fully cross-platform messaging experience
Why?
I can easily encrypt a message on my x86_64 Windows desktop, send it to my x86_64 Linux laptop, and also my ARM64 Android phone, and be able to decrypt it perfectly.
If I can do it then a development team can too.
Haven’t ads always been recommendations in some roundabout way? Regular ads are technically just a company recommending their own product/service to you (whether you need it or not).
I love Zorin, probably for more superficial reasons than most. I like a clean UI and Zorin provides that by default, no fiddling. I get that people like customisability and ricing and all that, and if I could design my OS as easily as I could write CSS then I probably would, but I’ve yet to find something that lets me do that. And even if I do find it, Zorin still looks good and just works, which is most of what I care about.
Oh look, it’s the same old reposted comment chain that I have seen on Reddit hundreds of times.
Everyone here is saying it’s fantastic and much better compared to 10 years ago, which is completely true.
However, the state of VR gaming is still pretty dire. You can get it working on some hardware setups, but not others, and it’s nontrivial to find out what’s going wrong. I’ve lost a couple of days trying to diagnose problems on multiple distros and it just doesn’t seem to work for me. It may work for you, but the chances are a lot lower than if you were to just play normal games.
Deletion on many online services is “soft”. Which is, exactly as you say, just hiding it and preventing it from contributing to various counts/statistics.
I imagine it’s named like that because “hide” implies “hide from myself only” (like hiding a dialog box), whereas delete implies something more permanent.
Also, when a user wants to get rid of something the first word they’ll look for tends to be “delete”, so why make it harder for them to find that button by naming it something unconventional like “hide from all”? Even if it’s technically more accurate, users just don’t care.
I also imagine some services keep some things for legal reasons, even after “deletion”.
I don’t appear to have any semblance of Android Auto on my phone, so I’d assume it’s safe. But still take a backup, just in case.
The original guide for the Auto1111 WebUI (the one most people use) is here: https://rentry.co/voldy It’s how I got started with it too!
There is also a Docker version maintained by AbdBarho which you can find here: https://github.com/AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker (this is what I use now)
Supporting your position through things created in your brain is called “explaining yourself”, or more specifically “explaining the rationale behind your position”.
Did you think you were being clever?
