That word may be ordinary in Spanish, but something tells me (the complete lack of other Spanish words, as well as the context) that in this case it was meant in the “archaic” form.

Also idk if it’s “archaic at worst,” “at worst” it is still a slur in many contexts. Like, you can talk about The Negro League in historical context referring to baseball and be completely fine, but you absolutely cannot go up to someone and say “What up my Ne–o” (gonna bleep that one, but leave enough context so you can tell it’s not intended to be the other one.) “You are an ignorant stupid ne–o” seems to fit squarely in the context of slur to me and imo its use here is in bad taste at best and frankly I think it is racist.

Not that I disagree with hating trump, I just think hating trump so hard you become racist isn’t really a good solution to the problem, and the church could probably rework that sign.

Good. I don’t trust them dern robuts.

I was here 2y before the exodus, it’s absolutely not just the newbies. Maybe some other -ies…

I for one welcome the shit out of the newbies, I’m thankful to have them and want more, and for them to bring their niche interests with them. They help filter some of the toxicity out.

As of audacity 3.0.3 (or was it 3.1.3? Shit it’s been a while…) it includes telemetry from the russian company that bought it. It was forked to oblivion and Tenacity is the best replacement fork.

Antix will run on old grey boxes with mb of ram, it oughta work for you too.

Fridges 100% die, they’re made to now. If your fridge is really that old and you can manage it, NEVER get rid of it, tell your parents to leave it to you in their will lmao.

no u

You HAVE to be trolling lol.

Just in case you’re actually unaware and not just bullshitting,

Right ok… But what’s on the other PC for for an OS? And why should we bother having another one on a different OS assuming we can afford extra hardware?

Came off snarky, thus rude, and is why I returned it in kind. If you weren’t trying to be rude and it came off that way by mistake, my bad, but it definitely seemed intentionally and unnecessarily snarky.

Well since this thread is about computers unable to run windows 11 due to HW restrictions, meaning they’ll be insecure when the EOL is reached, the point would be “to keep your personal computing secure.” If you’re upgrading to w11, why are we even talking about w10 EOL? Just upgrade then, what’s the problem?

Furthermore, if your company provides a computer at all, you may wish to have your personal computing done on something without their monitoring programs installed. Idk about you but my work doesn’t need to know I googled “boobies” at 10pm on tuesday, or whatever.

Finally, because while upgrading to a computer that can run w11 is costly, buying a used computer off a friend who is upgrading is much cheaper, linux being much less resource intensive and able to run securely and receive critical security updates on cheaper, older hardware can be beneficial to someone who can’t upgrade to w11 due to cost, or who is being forced by their workplace into using w10 (or even w11 with company spyware, really.)

Did I hold your hand well enough this time or are you still confused and being rude about it? Sure, maybe YOU don’t care about security, and in that case you shouldn’t, just run XP who cares, but for those that do it is an option.

Idk my sole interaction is through these headlines lol, I don’t have steam, and haven’t really even played anything since like RDR2 (well, not counting my GBC, I play with that all the time, currently playing Earthworm Jim (GB).)

I thought we were talking about linux being involved, so that. Why? Because of the whole “not receiving security updates” thing w10 will be doing, y’know the whole thing this thread is about, did I have a stroke?

Well, get good I guess.

Or that, but I’m told some things don’t play well in VMs like arcane peripherals.

Does this have anything to do with the other Steam related headline I read in a post earlier: " Games now have to disclose kernel level anticheat on steam?"

Honestly I figure “work computers” are often overlooked because many companies force windows for their spying “productivity monitoring” apps.

That said, there’s always “having a work computer and a separate secure personal computer.” The linux machine doesn’t even have to be particularly powerful, it could be whatever old used machine (w/o nvidia) you can get your hands on.

If whatever programs you need don’t require internet access and you aren’t at risk of evil maid attacks then it hardly matters if win10 isn’t secure. It definitely isn’t ideal, but if the options are:

A) Do all your personal stuff on linux and only boot w10 when you have to, offline.

B) Only have w10 and run hope.exe for security.

I’d choose A.

I have worked jobs like that, collecting donations in the street. And would you believe it, a lot of the people working those jobs are assholes.

Well with a sample size of “you” I think we can assume you’re correct here.

(You can’t just set me up like that and expect me not to hit the ball)

Hey you don’t know any of the commenters either, for all you know we all could have family killed by the IDF.

You unlock them once you enter your 10,000th terminal command.

“If you want super up to date stuff, an LTS is not your best choice, I’d go for something like Fedora and just keep back ups or set up snapper using this easy guide on youtube.” (For example.)

”Package managers are basically your app store, you’ll probably have the official one for your distro and then a general one called flatpak, use these for downloading your ‘apps.’" They can understand a few basic things, they’re windows users not Amish.
