I switched to FF after having enough of Chrome’s shenanigans. I don’t make changes easily, and I took the sacrifice of not being able to receive calls over Facebook (desktop browser, and some of my acquaintances wouldn’t leave FB), and I still preferred Firefox after that.
And now they want to turn it into another Chrome? I could still just use Chrome and have the lost functionality. I mean I won’t, but they will just lose users with that direction.
They want a backdoor to your emails while terrorism has been clear as day and they still haven’t done anything about it in Gaza.
I… I was today years old.
I honestly thought LibreOffice was some rebranded name. It’s been a while since I’ve used any of them.
Apart from the problem of my friends sticking with the same games I play regardless of my decision, the other problem is… yes, most people usually play the games that most people play. I also happen to be in that (high) percentage, so there’s not much room.
BTW I’ve been playing League for a long time, and while cheaters have been a thing for a while, in my experience it practically became a nonexistent problem recently. It doesn’t prove anything, just saying that League isn’t in the ‘cheaters all over’ category anymore (imho).
Thankfully, Rocket League is actually pretty decent in this regard, so that’s a “safe” one - but there’s several more that still necessitates Windows, so I don’t see the point of going back and forth in dual boot every time I switch games.
I wish it was that simple… though I do like my games enough that it’s a pretty unpleasant choice either way, my friends who play also refuse to change games just for my sake, and they don’t mind using Windows. Therefore I can basically stop playing with them, or stick with this rubbish.
That sounds better - now I just wish those were the games that I play.
…which is a completely valid point if you don’t mind not playing those games. But if you do want to play them (for example because back when you got to love them, they didn’t have this), you have yourself a dilemma.
Unless you want to play against a shitload of cheaters every day (ruining the fun whenever you have 30 minutes to wind down), your game should have a decent enough AC to detect when someone loads a cheat, including the lowest level. And guess who doesn’t have a problem with 3rd party programs accessing ring 0.
So there you have it, you either stop playing all multiplayer games (not even just competitive ones!) entirely, or stick with Windows and all the awful things that come with it. I’ve been wanting to switch to Linux for the past 20 years, have been playing various multiplayer games over the past 2 decades, and it was always either the AC or just the sheer incompatibility (especially in the earlier years). There was even a time when people could happily cheat on Linux and get away with it in Counter-Strike: Source, because VAC simply didn’t work on Linux.
I mean, there are communities for funny stuff, but at least speaking of the ones I stumble upon on my main feed, a significant portion of the funny posts is rather old/recycled. Could be just my feed, though.
I’ve done that a few times. Mostly when the previous bag was used the night before, and I was super sleepy in the morning, so didn’t even bother ditching it, saving 1.3 seconds and thinking it would make my new tea stronger.
…yeah, I don’t do that anymore. But this is why I used to.
UPDATE: I just made my tea just the regular way this morning. While stirring, I realised I had left the previous night’s red berry tea bag in it. I didn’t want to waste an otherwise perfectly fine bag of Earl Grey, so I did it again. Not intentionally, though. Also, note to self: red berry Earl Grey is not great.
Even though I’m aware Google would still have a lot of my data even if I deleted everything possible, one of the main reasons I swapped (apart from the manifest V3 controversy) was the privacy problem (yes, I know, I’m still using Facebook, regardless). I haven’t thought of the container aspect, though - thanks for that.
