Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I’m just lucky.

If being ready means “runs Windows applications” to you, then obviously Windows will always be the best choice.

Like, what a metric lol

Next you’re gonna tell me MacOS isn’t ready either, because you can’t play many Windows games on it as well

Complaining about hardware compatibility on Linux while Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs is crazy.

Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.

Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.

And then they would have removed them later. Just like all the statues of Adolf Hitler, which no longer exist.

We only learn about the ones with defects, because they are the most interesting. Most people in history were fine.

One historic figure who had no known defects: Alan Turing

If left wing policies were truly more popular, why didn’t the Democrats win? The voters didn’t get Bernie, so if you can’t get your ideal option, you instead take the worse of the two remaining ones? Even if voters were only voting for damage reduction, they’d still vote Democrat in that case.

But the Democrats didn’t win. The voters don’t want damage reduction. The voters want damage.

Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

If the vast majority of Americans believed the Democrats to be less evil, the Democrats would have 90% of the vote. If that were the case, the Republicans would move ever further left, perhaps even overtaking the Democrats, until they get a chance at winning again.

The reason the parties are right wing is because the voters are right wing.

That’s why we need a communist revolution where everyone will be a happy little comrade

The reason that people don’t vote Democrats is the same reason that people won’t join your revolution.

If you found enough people to support a revolution, that’d mean you have enough people to change the system by simple voting.

The behavior of the USA was condemned by both left- and right-wing parties in Germany. The only party that didn’t condemn the behavior, the far right party, is expected to get no more than 20% of the vote. So even though their popularity doubled from last election, which is a significant shift, they’re still a minority who won’t affect Germany’s foreign policies.

The far right party in Germany had 10% last election, and is likely to get 20% this election.

1/5 is a lot, but it’s not the average voter.

(Btw, why use the framing “elites” for left wing and “leaders” for right wing?)

NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you’re not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I’d recommend against using them for personal systems.

I think it’s referring to the driver version 570, which isn’t stable yet but working fine in beta.

I use Wayland with Nvidia (proprietary beta driver) every day (including for applications running over Wine) and have no issues.

So while some may still have issues, I certainly wouldn’t call it “completely busted”.

same with vrr

Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year

Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.

Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.

Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).

So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?

all the downvotes confirm the ccp is here

Not all who disagree with you are paid by a government. Sometimes people just think your take is bad.

I personally think it’s good that the USA did it back then and I think it’s good that China does it now.

Independence and wealth for all.

You seem like a very relaxed person

In Germany, pharmacies look like that today.
