Yeah, Google pays other companies lots of money to have its search engine enabled by default. That’s what the lawsuit argued, so I’m not sure how separating chrome from the company will change that…

Where did the ‘windows resets all settings after an update’ thing start?

Somehow I’ve never seen this over using windows 10 for years…

I use a self-hosted invidious instance, and despite the recent issues with Google trying to block them mine works behind Mullvad VPN.

I use the web app on desktop, and Yattee client on my phone/ipad

Ads can’t federate

Never underestimate facebooks capacity to enshittify. If they want to send ads as posts they will make a way. In principle the fediverse should oppose for-profit-line-go-up fuckheads, it’s always the same bullshit.

The comment above yours was referring to the rest of people who could vote but didn’t, and I thought you said they were not to blame.

Anyways it just means most of the US is ok with trump, which is absolutely insane.

Yep, women alone could have put this election in the bag for harris. That confuses me the most out of all of this…

That’s bs, it just takes 1 hour of your day to go put a mark on a piece of paper and be done with it…

Pure laziness and complacency

I’m sure he’s taking full responsibility going to sleep in his mansion tonight, with his big salary and bonuses, which will probably see a nice bump from this.

Has YouTube experienced enshittification?

Ummm, only for the past decade?

With the FBI I guess, but then youtube didn’t do shit, nor his sponsors. It’s all business as usual with mr. beast. Usually platforms are quick to act on these things. It shows they don’t give 2 shits as long as the money flows in.

This Rosanna character is also disgusting because she’s milking all of this for sweet money. I just checked and she has posted regularly about mr beast these past months, and all of those videos are monetized. So yeah, all in all just more shit. I don’t think give a shit either.

The only way to win is to not make their wallets bigger.

He has been exposed for months now and literally nothing came of it. I don’t see how “tHe fBi” would suddenly give a crap, given also that what it’s show in the logs is just a bunch of offensive memes and shit…

So this comes across as someome else trying to get attention and moral points from this…

If you actually want to do the right thing get off those toxic platforms and follow better creators elsewhere. Block ads too, they should not get a penny out of you.

I have already looked up most of what you recommended, and I arrived at the same initial conclusion…

• OpenRGB doesn’t list support for my Gigabyte mobo, or XPG ram (unless I’m reading this wrong). I need this to stop the default behavior which is rainbow puke
• AMD adrenalin only lists 3 distros, and none of which I’d like to use (I’d prefer linux mint LMDE)
• Plus I haven’t even talked about the apps (office for starters, then itunes+icloud which I use to sideload apps)

Linux doesn’t have several programs I use to control my peripherals, the mobo RGB profile, and GPU fan control from Sapphire. It also doesn’t have a proper AMD adrenalin as far as I’ve checked, nor firmware updater for SSD/NVME, and the list goes on and on. I also heard controlling high refresh rate displays on linux is a nightmare.

If I want to use the gaming PC I built to its full potential then I need windows…

The article is still dumb though, anyone left behind using old hardware should not go through the pain of forcing win11 to run. They all should switch to linux

I knew a comment like this was coming, but unless you can show how microsoft can decrypt my kdbx I stand fully by my current setup.

There’s a big difference. You trust entities like bitwarden/lastpass/etc to properly encrypt the data, protect your master key, and trust their entire architecture behind the scenes.

When you encrypt the keepass DB that’s all done by you locally with a open source client. No one knows your master key, and you get a simple encrypted file. You can hand that file to hackers if you want, will be useless without the key.

I put one of the copies of my keepass on onedrive, and syncs perfectly across all devices.

Companies can enshiffity at a moments notice.

Why would anyone trust any company with their passwords??

Just use keepass and not bother with BS

The first game was pretty good, but ran like shit for several years and was full of glitches…

Considering how broken games release these days, and now adding denuvo, I think it’s gonna be a hot pile of garbage. I would delay getting it for a 2 years after release date at this point.

1. Go through ALL the settings in the settings app and turn off the BS you don’t want. You shouldn’t need a debloat script when there’s official toggles. People trust those scripts too much when it’s common that they break stuff. You got Win11 Pro, so you have local group policy editor. Even less reason to rely on a debloat script.
2. Same as 1, go through the privacy settings and toggle all personalizations off. Also try to set Windows up without a microsoft account. This can be done after the initial setup
3. Uninstall photos app (full of AI garbage), paint, notepad, and all those preloaded games. I’m not sure if edge in removable, but it’s worth a try
4. Avoid any app with AI garbage

Nothing, it has become quite common to say ADHD causes every little odd behavior. I’m not sure if all those people are even actually diagnosed and not just lying for internet points…

I assume people with actual ADHD find it offensive their condition is made fun of by “quirky” idiots online.

Imagine using a google service. Do yourselves a favor and use anything else, even outlook, over Google.
