That’s not a silly argument if your argument is about national security. For the exact same reason, China blocks almost all western apps. It gives a potential route for whatever nation is considered hostile to influence your population, and TikTok has actually activated this influence at least once directly. They tried to activate their users to protest congress from passing laws restricting them.

Basically, they have the ability to influence users, and they also have the will to do so as they’ve already shown. In what world eould they not be a national security threat? It’s also really hard for me to accept this argument from a Chinese company when China has the great firewall to “protect” it’d citizens from outside influence.

You can argue that it is not to benefit the citizens and rather just the state, which is fair. You can’t reasonably argue that the state has nothing to fear.

Yeah, I just don’t like it. I don’t feel strongly, just not what I’d recommend.

No, it’s a comic.

Ah, OK. Yeah. So probably what you’re looking for is a “tiling window manager”. I’ve never used one so I can’t help, but that’s the thing you probably want to search for. I’ve been tempted to try one because using just the keyboard to move windows where I want them seems very useful, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

As other people have said, you have to be carful with dual booting on the same drive with Windows. It doesn’t play nice with others. To add on though, Linux can access your NTFS (or whatever) systems fine*. You can leave them as they are and access the same data on both systems, though Windows is not capable of reading most other filesystems.

*May require installing a package, but every distro I’ve tried could out of the box.

One thing you’ll have to learn to deal with is that it isn’t Windows. Some things will work differently, or the specific tool or functionality you’re used to might not exist. There are probably different solutions to the same problem that might do the job, but may be different than what you had before. It’s the same with everything. There’s tradeoffs, and you have to come to terms with and get used to the differences. You can fight it and try to force it to be what you are used to, or you can get used to what it is.

This isn’t to say to give up on your search. I don’t know what FancyZones is or what it does. I’m just saying be open to learning a new way to do something. I’ve seen a lot of people struggle trying to make their system into a Windows clone, and it ends up being more trouble than just coming to terms with it being different.

There are a ton of options. Plenty of people (me included) wouldn’t recommend Mint, but some will. Everyone has their preferences and tolerance for certain things. The most important step is to just switch. You can always move distros.

Personally, for a new user, I’d say Fedora with KDE is a good choice. I use the gaming version of Garuda, which just comes with some extra stuff for gaming you’ll probably need anyway, which you can do manually or just grab this. Regardless, KDE is probably what you want coming from Windows. It behaves similarly to Windows, but is very customizable. Other DEs have other benefits though, so there will always be other recommendations.

Yeah, fuck MS and everyone should try to run away as fast as possible, but this isn’t the big thing people should be worried about. I literally didn’t notice what was different in those screenshots until I read more. Maybe this is done to add things in the future that’ll be bad, but it itself isn’t. I’d be much more concerned about Recall.

Yeah, I’d just do it on whatever machine I’m developing on. You’ve got to transfer stuff from it anyway, so just include the compiled binary.

The person the article is about was a Chief, and the highest ranked enlisted person on the ship. She would have the respect of all the enlisted members, as well as all the officers. She would be trusted to do her job and not do something stupid like this. She easily had the ability to do this, but you wouldn’t expect her to.

It was the Chief of the ship who installed it. She was the highest ranked enlisted person on the ship. She would have the access and ability to get just about anything on board that she wanted. The fact she was able to is easy to see. The fact the she was willing to and has obtained such a high rank is pretty impressive (and stupid).

Yeah, it’s an exploit but it doesn’t seem illegal. It seems like the issue is with whatever service. They need to fix their contract or their software. Maybe it is in the contract or EULA that you can’t do this sort of thing already though, in which case it’s fair game.

Using a different version of WINE/Proton could work. It may also depend on some extra utilities you need to install on your WINE prefix (Wine tricks is the tool to use for this). If that doesn’t work, the almost guaranteed to work option is a virtual machine running Windows. This comes with a small performance hit, but that may not be a concern.

The first thing I’ll say is the reason you’re more comfortable with Windows is because you’ve been using it for however long and learning to deal with the issues it has. The same needs to be done on Linux. You’ll have to learn how it works just like you forgot you did for Windows.

Second, along with logs like other users said, you have to know how to use a search engine well. Most issues will be easy to solve, but some may take some searching. The Arch wiki is a good resource even if you aren’t using Arch.

And that’s after he spends a ton of money to get it fixed. If he weren’t rich, he’d be bald by now, for example.

Every modern MMO is pretty much solo with people around. I’d say this is especially true for ESO. There’s essentially no reason to socialize from what I recall, but I never made it to end-game. I prefer the FFXIV design where you can play solo if you want, but there’s also reasons to socialize if you want to. It’s much more interesting to hang out in. In ESO, from what I remember, I never felt like hanging out and only played to complete content.

Have you tried it? I played the beta and didn’t care for it, but a few years after release I tried it again, with a different mindset, and enjoyed it. I played it for a few months then. It’s not the best MMO I’ve played, but it’s good enough. If you want a pretty casual MMO in the Elder Scrolls world, it does the job fine enough. I personally don’t think it does enough to push you to socialize (most MMOs now have moved away from this), but it’s a decent single-player theme park with plenty of interesting things to do.

Well, they would have invented the specific formulation they’re using. I’m sure it’s not exactly like this but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same concept with microbeads.

No one invents anything totally new. It’s all adding on to what others have made in the past. Nothing has ever been created from scratch.

It can reflect it out to space. It is possible to make paint the keeps things below ambient. Obviously you’re correct, but only for things not facing upward. Upward facing things will bounce the energy back away from Earth.
