ok

My props to the boys in Romania, then.

…I never used port forwarding with them and it just kinda works?

I pirate almost exclusively over Qbittorrent.

there’s just gotta be a leak somewhere, that ain’t normal…

If Mullvad is off, and I download a Pixar film, I will get a letter. I have.

If it isn’t, I won’t. I don’t.

shrug port forward or no port forward, the data still flows and my ISP can’t see it.

I’m just lazy.

I can’t be bothered to wonder whether or not your specific flavor of piracy is tracking me or not, and I don’t really care to know.

VPN and just don’t worry about it.

If I hear my provider turned to shit, I move providers. Mullvad rn.

I feel like stability has a different definition for some of us Linux users.

Stability to me as a Linux user is a non-issue. I have so many backup and snapshot solutions to a point that any problem isn’t even a threat. I don’t consider what if’s because I can just walk around anything, even if the entire boot drive corrupts.

Also, what do you mean by stable? The OS? The entire system under heavy graphical load?

Some more, some less as far as Linux goes, but if we’re comparing Windows to a peer like… KDE?

Yeah, they’re about just as buggy.

Does Linux have an issue in that the bugginess is almost directly tied to the experience level of the end user? …Yeah, but at that level, it just means no problem is impassable, you just don’t know what you’re doing. 😬

It should be arch, I also checked HoloISO and they removed all of their releases.

Does SteamOS even have functional desktop

Unlike Windows, yes. It does.

…then I wonder why on earth Valve keeps the link up. Dunno their thinking.

How nice of them to just leave it up there.

Wrong

Old Gfwl bullshit, probably

Linux doesn’t run as many games as Windows

I’d argue it runs more due to compatibility breaks. Wine just-werks with a lot of old installers.

I tried their iso on a mini PC yesterday and uhh… not so good.

Installed mint and had steam running in 15 minutes after the disappointment tho.

I was about like… “Am I on Lemmy?”

Telegram is involved with the shadier end of the crypto market, and for a market that’s shady enough as it is without needing a shadier part, it’s pretty damn dark in there.

Also https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2024/08/25/telegram-is-not-really-an-encrypted-messaging-app/

It isn’t even viable for their uses. They should consider moving upgrading to Matrix or Signal.

An Android camera having a Russian telegram channel basically puts this on the no list for me, dog.

Like, I barely care to even hear their reasons.

It’s Russian AND Telegram? Does it come with hepatitis too?

They bought it…

Not my problem if someone doesn’t read the tiniest bit about a $600+ product before purchase.

Thank God mint exists so everyone has a viable snap-free alternative.

Wish they’d drop it already.

Oh, I’m not defending them. I have no sense of software loyalty. They aren’t the only ftp game in town by a longshot.
