In case that link didn’t work of anyone else.

The quest runs on a variant of Android correct? Like everything else that isn’t desktop, Linux is already the industry stander in facetop computing 😎

Well I don’t speak British do I??

Yeah, it’s called performance art. You’re not wrong in disliking it as slop, but the barrier for what is art is empirically low.

Jokes on you, putting up bullshit in an art gallery is a classic art move.

Well Windows sales might, but that’s why you gotta pay for pro mode that removes all the ad shit. Otherwise they would lose out on the additional 2/5 or whatever that comes from their ad-ware

I am less sympathetic about it. He says it’s a love letter wrapped in a complaint, essentially saying ‘Windows is shitty because of all the enshitification they’ve done’, yeah bud, we know.

The engineer assumes far too much good faith by Microsoft. He focuses on the idea that Windows was built for casual users and the online vocal power users that want to stretch the normal use of the system don’t like how their strange choices are handled and yell online setting the narrative. His advice boils down to, 'give a power user mode that lets you control the telemetry, turns off ads and searches in your start menu, lets you boot without an online account, bundle all OEM installed apps in one bundle, respecting changing defaults like web browser." Like, sweetheart, I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this, Microsoft didn’t stumble backwards into including ads and locking out offline accounts, they are incentivized to be shit like this.

He suggests in addition to buying windows it having a monthly fee for this pro mode to allow for such freedoms, “because they can’t just give windows away forever hoping to make it up on OneDrive fees.” Cool, I’d rather stick to linux, thanks.

Anything ever come of this creep and his “favorite magic tricks” usb drive?

I think they mean “Verhältnis” (google says ‘relationship’) doesn’t really mean ratio, but ratio is what we use in english.

Some might argue it requires a terminal level of brain worms to understand what is being said with rule 8. But I for one find beauty in this exactly level and flavor of petty, and I come to the fediverse for it.

Honestly I think if there is a hope for greater detach from “The Cloud” more broadly, it’s a testament to nextcloud that folks that don’t even know enough to know what DB they are running are able to run a server, and host things well enough to consider themselves users.

That has been my method, I wondered if there was something better. But if I stumbled into the answer, that works too!

What high seas have good sources for music these days? I feel like a lot of music is harder to come by on the trackers I’ve searched. Occasionally I can find a particular album but is the more niche stuff invite trackers only?

That would be rad, but isn’t TOR glacial? And VPNs are sketch if you’re not paying for them. What is i2p like, and does it have access to the open web or is it more a siloed space?
