I was taking to my sister, who is an artist, about setting up Linux and warned them about poor Adobe support. Their response was “⭐ 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶𝒹𝑜𝒷𝑒 ⭐” due to their AI shenanigans and high costs.

So thanks modern Adobe for making it easier for people to switch to Linux.

I mean, I can kinda see it being useful for people wanting to sell a wee box that does nothing but launch a game on steam.

“I hate systemd, it’s bloated and overengineered” people stay, perched precariously on their huge tower of shell scripts and cron jobs.

People seem oddly optimistic about all of this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the solution they came up with still wouldn’t work in Linux. I don’t know how exactly they’d do it, but I can imagine some encryption key or hardware nonsense that Linux can’t replicate.

Hasn’t Debian relaxed its stance and now allows you to fairly easily use nonfree software?

I actually don’t know! It was a meme a while ago, but they might have fixed it by now.

Apple devices make sense - how else are you going to deal with the overheating problems?

Tbh I’m kind of worried seeing a software group get into hardware. There are a lot of hidden costs and production issues which provide difficult challenges. I hope they succeed, but I worry this will just flop and cost them a lot of money.

Isn’t that just OpenGL/Vulcan and Linux?

Seriously though, I just use Firefox. LibreWolf is basically Firefox with stricter defaults, and over the years I’ve already tweaked Firefox to use all the privacy features anyway.

I know there’s some extra sauce implemented in LibreWolf that Firefox lacks, but that stuff seems like too much of a compromise for me (like canvas fingerprinting).

Plus, I think orange looks nicer in my window list than blue.

I also don’t use tor or a vpn unless I can’t access anything otherwise. I guess I don’t really see the need to, since I don’t think I’m doing anything that’ll draw the government’s attention.

Mostly just working through my “I should get around to playing this” list. Hades, Dome Keeper, Loop Hero and Whisper Squadron: Survivor.

Technically that would mean that one copy of the file is no longer updated when the other is.

You should consider using ln bkp.tar.gz bkp2.tar.gz instead.

Proton isn’t designed to be a security layer and afaik doesn’t go out of its way to sandbox applications. I’d expect a lot of viruses will fail to do anything, but there’ll also be some able to do things like steal your browser or discord passwords.

There’s no reason to risk it; don’t run anything in Proton that you don’t feel safe running on Windows.

Sure you can turn it off, and realistically this isn’t that bad an antifeature. But Microsoft has been making a lot of unpopular decisions (Randomly restarting, Edge shilling, the tpm requirement, general privacy violations, ads in the start menu), and this is by far the worst reaction I’ve seen from Windows users I follow.

Be interesting to see the numbers next month because of the whole Recall thing that people seem to have gotten really mad about.

I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’ve seen a lot of people saying they switched to Linux. But that could just be the circles I’m in though.

“It’s just a moba, how hard can it be?”

Yeah, I get the feeling they might be underestimating the amount of work required. Especially if they want to use something like GDScript. Sure, it’s just a wee hobby project but I hope that people on Reddit and Lemmy don’t harass them about not doing things fast or well enough… Don’t really see it going anywhere beyond being a learning experience for the author.

I use it for “light” games (the 2D stuff, Balatro, Dicey Dungeons, Whisker Squadron Survivor) while sitting in bed. Honestly when I got it, I wasn’t expecting to use it as much as I did.

I’m cool with Obsidian because everything is just a bunch of Markdown files. If they go off into the deep end then I can just switch to VScodium or some random text editor.

Vendor lockin is the real problem with proprietary software.
