Shout out to logitech, the G502 Hero wireless I’m using doesn’t install or start anything on it’s own. What a low fucking bar to look at.

Bro, most people don’t even care about their own privacy and keep using edge/chrome in windows. Some lemmy users care about Eich’s beliefs, like you, but most people don’t.

It’s (rightfully) currently illegal, but that doesn’t stop people. Keep it illegal, increase punishment drastically, make AI-created material a grey area.

This law goes both ways. Left or right, extremism comes from every side.

They do fit, but you can only put half as many normal sized bits in there. I’m fine with that personally, making the whole thing bigger would negatively affect ergonomics.

Use LibreWolf. I’ve switched to it from Brave because it’s counted as firefox market share but it gets rid of all the non-browser features (Pocket, Telemetry, etc.) and enables some interesting flags in the config (ResistFingerprinting for example).

I don’t really care if someone fights in both directions if their points are valid. Misgendering or not, mozilla has had some troubling developments internally and it’s good people shed light on it.

you can just move to chromium though, getting chrome performance without google spyware

Thank you to AMD for still requiring neither an account nor collecting data. Crash reports don’t count.

they will show you their own ads through operating system notifications, but without collecting your personal data to do so. the program is also entirely opt-in and is thus disabled by default, so the user has to knowingly and willingly enable it.

it is and has great compatibility with office formats, such as password protected excel spreadsheets.

eGPUs don’t have enough pcie lanes. They’d bottleneck a CPU like this too badly to be worth it.

I’m going to buy a new laptop the second framework offers this CPU.

The start menu entries are stored in an encrypted file somewhere beneath a thousand different folders. But its possible to copy a cleaned start menu file and paste it in the correct directory in the default user folder to give new users an ad-free start menu.

I am shocked that anything regarding Microsoft and windows contains spyware.

My 15 years old Linux laptop can still do everything (except gaming new titles)

Framework laptops are, as far as I know, certified for Ubuntu. Meaning that any distro should run just fine, if maybe with some slight modifications, but Ubuntu (and its derivates) will work perfectly.

well, technically, they reintroduced the XTX naming, as it was already a thing in the early 2010s. Still a bad idea though and I’d prefer they ditch it again.
