If you've got something you're that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it's not listening now, it's only an update away.

Suicide is more like not turning up to the exam and taking it later.

They're not people, they're cancer to society.

Assuming it's not cached and sent next time it talks, of course.

Probably a good starting place would be to take the three apps you need most, and just search the web for guides to running them on Linux. That'll give you an indication of how much work you might/not be in for.

e: also if a guide says "just run this shell script" even chance it's not just that simple.

Yeah, that's why it's the chaotic neutral solution.. We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We'd to have to work together, and that is chaotic.

I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.

Only their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.

HL3 will be a secret minigame you unlock after you beat the HL1 & 2 minigames on hard. Of course HL3 will have been worth the wait.

Nah Gabe working on a god tier game. He just want to be able to say the same thing we all do.. "you mean, you have to use your hands?"

Where we're going, we don't need peripherals.

Just Gabe working on a god tier game.

If they're games, protondb (.com) will tell you how well you can expect them to run. Other stuff, it's often a case of search the web or try and see. Wine takes some getting used to, you'll probably have to get your hands dirty and do a little learning.

We're just waiting for the environment to correct that problem.

It's just not ready yet. Vr in general is too awkward, inconvenient and expensive. The stuff that's available now can be a lot of fun, but it's a long way from where it needs to be, to "change the world". And yeah, I wouldn't want it for free since the acquisition.

It's owned by money, not people. I left with apis and 3rd party apps. Glad I did, quality has taken a real noise dive. Now I just read from old. If there's a reason, without logging in.

In that way I'm like a professional cook that spent all day cooking for others, so when they get home they just don't have the energy to put all that effort into themselves.

Funny that, I'm a Linux admin. I actually run my own servers for everything. I'm a firm believer in whoever owns the hardware owns the data. It's just like work but with tools that I like. I like knowing where it is, and it's not going to end the world if it's offline for a time.

I did windows admin for about 5 years though up to 2008r2, and I have to say I do like AD and ntfs ACLs (except when they break). Those times do contribute to my aversion.

I too know a thing or two about developing, back in the day I did C, pascal, C++. I remember how much easier delphi was than mfc. I got out of developing when they started dumbing down the tools further (why didn't you die, java.. C#, etc.) Electron can't die in a dumpster fire fast enough.

Don't start me on teams. I'd say the same for o365 though. Hard to believe these products make me want work to go back to lotus notes, domino, sametime...

That's really the biggest problem I think Linux has, unfortunately it's also one of Linux's best features - it's not a uniform experience. Yours won't be the same as mine, etc.

Some things that should be simple aren't, and sometimes getting things going can be frustrating, and you will without question at some point have to troubleshoot and fix something.

I'm fortunate that I have a lot of background and experience in the industry, and I can understand people don't want to go to that trouble, just like people don't want to learn to cook.

Most things in Linux I find these days do plug and play to some degree, but there is absolutely missing effort and/or openness from the hardware vendors. Like not being able to configure macro keys/extra mouse buttons without a windows vm.

Having said that, I found the way windows was going, adding crap into the os that I don't want, and constantly changing where settings are etc. Changing my defaults, and so on. There's just too much I don't like about the way it's managed. Also, winsecure.

Well I suppose they were right. Windows 10 was the last version of Windows for me. I'm okay with not using what little only works on windows. Unless you need something more niche/specialised, windows isn't worth the pain.

I suppose, could be harm reduction. Like peeling a bandaid off slowly instead of ripping it off.

They're here, they might not be everywhere yet, but they're here to stay as much as photoshopped images or trick photography are. Just more lies to hide the truth.

All we can do now is get better at dealing with them.

If only it were that easy, we're talking about govt departments here. It's because they've either been brainwashed into it, or the executive profiting from this somehow.

There's a lot of stupid rules about what you should and shouldn't use in gov, and some of the barriers to the should list are very expensive. It's frustrating as hell to know there's a great tool for a job, but not being able to use it because they haven't got some accreditation.

e: clarified individual profit, before it read like the department profits.
