I mean, the american idiotic narrative of outraise, outspend, outcapitalist can get bent. when you're faced with such an immense force of vast resources, you don't raise a similar sized force and roll the dice on the outcome - you engage in asymetric warfare.

disperse all that shit in P2P networks with multiple redundancies with no single point of failure. who are they gonna sue, the i2p stack or whatever? fuck those fuckers.

I'd finance something like that with my meager resources, instead of filling some coffers to finance lawyers and whatnot.

disable BD_PROCHOT. msr-tools on linux, Throttlestop on windows.

is there anything more useless than signing online petitions?

there is, either by manually remapping everything using Plasma's keyboard settings or using one of the many Kinto variants.

advice from someone who made the same switch - don't do it. start adapting and relearning. muscle memory is a pain, but it's tameable. you're not going back, there's no point in retaining useless skill.

I tried using bazzite as a media PC and gave up after a couple of days, this isn't even remotely something I want in my household.

try it on fast hardware and make up your own mind. good luck!

p.s.: plasma bigscreen isn't available for public use and kodi and its derivatives should be tossed in the deepest volcanoes we got.

tried three times, either neochat explodes or the messages don't go through. thanks anyway.

yeah I found that but I don't know how to query matrix.org for those settings, no clients I tried can tell me what the settings are. I'm just interested in 1on1 chat where both users are on matrix.org, so federation shouldn't complicate things (?)

so what unlimited cloud storage a la telegram? can you share where that's stated? thanks.

dhh isn't advocating for linux for everybody per se; instead it's addressed at programmers and similar folk who regard linux as way too complex for everyday use. the background story being that he was an Apple fanboy for the longest time and recently made the switch and now can't shut up about it. as a result they (basecamp) developed some insane rice setup that has to be seen to be believed, it's beyond ridiculous.

as an aside, I've met those people he's talking at and they regularly blow my mind. like, how can you utilize a modern toolchain for practically every possible development scenario using an OS that actively fights you every step of the way, the abomination called WSL notwithstanding...

so the idea is the brogrammers will become the early adopters and by way of trickle-down-tech linux will make its way to normies, same way e.g. Android did.

I don't think that's gonna happen in the foreseeable future. the options, distros, DEs, whatevers are way too fragmented and fragile and are infested with the most deluded, rabid "fans" there are, each and everyone of them mired in truckloads of "no true scottsman" fallacies.

Apple has a vertically integrated tech stack - there is one DE, one WM, one codebase for every product they sell and they are free to focus their sinister efforts elsewhere, backed by the deepest coffers there are.

contrast this with the myriad of distros, package managers, DEs, WMs, etc. each pulling in a different direction, abandoned paths and duplicated efforts galore, done predominantly with no funds to speak of; and if there are any, they are squandered on... what was it, shamans?

no math in this universe is gonna make team #2 catch up to team #1, let alone surpass it.

Far Cry 5. you blaspheme your way across montana, killing and pillaging, to a kick-ass soundtrack.

you should definitely pick up a oneplus 6 or POCO F1 or similar (8 GB RAM), they should be in the $50 range and play around with it. the OS will get better with participation and there's a number of things you can do on there that's downright impossible on Android. I'm just cautioning that it's not a substitute; but neither was Linux not that long ago.
