As a law abiding citizen, I honestly wouldn’t know what to do in this situation. I would probably provide whatever was asked and have my rights exploited by the customs officer.

Guess I should look this up before traveling abroad again.

Next time maybe mention I shouldn’t use soap in the recipe?

I use Logitech MX Vertical with the solaar software. It works fine.

While aosp with microg is a step into the right direction, it’s not Google free. Most android code is made by Google and streamed to aosp.

So you think people must only use software made by nice guys but you can use hardware, services, books, movies, etc. from whoever? What makes software so special?

You’re not hosting a lemmy instance but here we adding content, and therefore value, to the platform. I don’t host hyprland either, I am leeching off the entire devs work for zero dollars. Does that make it okay now?

I give more importance to qualities like open source, safety, privacy and performance other than who supports trump or not.

I’ve gone though the Degoogle journey myself but there’s just no way to run a phone without software made by jerks. And that’s one example.

You can use whatever criteria you want yo pick software, that’s fair. I don’t tend to include politics and personality into the equation myself but I’m not imposing anyone to do the same.

I agree with the sentiment of supporting nice folks, especially in the FOSS ecosystem.

What OS are you going to use on your Smartphone if you remove software from Google and Apple? What VR headset are you going to use? What telecom are you going to use? Are you only going to shop in local food markets? Lemmy’s creators are also biggots, yet here we are…

I financially support projects and people I like, but I use whatever software I enjoy using. FOSS, closed source, made by a nice guy, bad guy. If I feel my experience is good I’ll use that, if something better appears along the way I’ll move on. I don’t want to be a cop and background check the political views of whoever created all the software, hardware, services, movies, books, etc I use. I’d do nothing else with my life.

Have you tried to use only products made by nice guys or nice companies? It’s impossible.

It’s also a bit ironic to post this opinion on Lemmy, whose creators are also bigots.

Honestly I just stopped caring about developer’s personalities or political views. If you only use products made by nice guys who share your political views you won’t use anything in your life. Not even a phone.

I run Hyprland, I love it but I find it very hard to recommend to other people.

Hyprland is basically unusable out of the box (by design). You don’t have wallpaper, notifications, system menu, task bar, lock screen, screen saver, idle lock, a launcher… You have to install, configure and style all these components by yourself.

Why do it, then?

• Tiling window, obviously. It takes a while to get used to it but I can no longer live without it
• Absolute control on how your entire system looks
• Feels lightweight, smooth and honestly very nice
• Documentation is great

Personally I wish they’d invest into a meta-package “Hyprland DE” where it’d install all the components with some sane defaults. It takes a lot of time to make your system look decent, especially if you have no sense of style like myself heh. I found it to be very worth it, but I haven’t personally met anyone willing to do all this work.

This is where I feel COSMIC will shine in the future. The tiled experience with sane defaults.

We finished Split Fiction recently, it was fantastic.

We tried Unravel Two yesterday but I found it a bit underwhelming, not sure it will stick.

Piss on carpet, friend!

Oh don’t worry, it will be way less than an hour :P

The maps in act 2 and 3 already felt too long and repetitive, if normal mobs just take longer to clear that’s a big turnoff to an already underwhelming experience.

I use Linux exclusively but I don’t think it’s relevant to the discussion.

I would rather use windows 11 than any other EOL version of windows. I loved windows XP when it came out, wouldn’t dare to use it today.

It might be a remote exploit or it might not. An OS is not just a program that runs in the background, if it is critically important.

These kind of exploiters don’t tend to attack you in particular, they have botnets scanning the web for any compromised machine.

Running windows 10 is fine today, might not be fine after EOL. It is irresponsible to shrug it off and not even consider the alternatives out there, including windows 11.

The desktop environment is called KDE Plasma. Every distribution with KDE will look and feel very similar.

Fedora is a good and safe bet for a distribution.

The problem is that as soon as a security issue is found on windows 10 it won’t be fixed, it is perpetual. In Windows 11 it will probably be fixed before you even know it exists.

I can understand the console being more expensive, especially since we don’t really know its specs yet (or at least I don’t). Why is Mario Kart 30 euros more expensive, tho? It doesn’t paint a good picture.

It’s not just the console prices that have gone up. Console is, 470 euros, Mario Kart is 90 euros, Pro Controller 2 is 90 euros, the SD card is 60 euros, a webcam is 60 euros…

Meanwhile, their competition is getting cheaper every day.

It’s out in the nintendo stores and general retailers are already accepting preorders at the same price. It’s real, Mario Kart is 90 euros. Insane.
