Lmao is that a Lemmy watermark? 💀
Stamp, not a watermark, but yes. There was a post a while back, asking Lemmy OC to have that or something similar. I figured, why not.
Watermarking memes is petty and cringe
Depends on the reason, I suppose. Or the mark. I feel it’s more like attribution, where I attribute this meme as a gift to Lemmy, as opposed to a gift to wherever it finds itself next. No matter where this meme goes, it’s attributed home will always be clear as Lemmy.
Actually its their🇺🇸. Not your, not our. Its their own and you arr kinda like renting it
Who is “their”?
Microsoft?
The bunny is Microsoft and he’s saying ‘our’
I mean bunny should be saying “Mine”
Ah, yes. There should be a toddler meme like this! Hahaha
I use arch btw.
I daily Fedora at home (and Windows at work). Got tired Arch breaking every so often, and wanted something that didn’t come with anxiety with every update haha
Yeah that is completely fine. I would not dare to go Arch on work computer. :D OpenSuse works like a charm, but in general pre/post update snaphosts always save the day.
Yeah, I thought those preupdate snapshotters were crazy paranoid freaks… until my first Arch update hahahaha
I’ve wanted to try OpenSuse for a while now. I have a spare laptop that I was planning on installing Gentoo on, but am dreading the antiquated (by today’s standards) installation process. Maybe I’ll use it for OpenSuse.
YOu can set those pre/post snapshots automatically and not really pay attention. I think OpenSuse does that by default if you install your root on btrfs. They even have an OS version called MicroOS which does a cool thing with snaphosts. Basically if your system does not boot after update it will revert automatically to previous snapshot, or you can pick a snapshot to boot into manually from grub menu. Bit it is quite a different thing than your usual linux distro as it uses read only root FS.
Ooh! Ok cool! I’ve never used btrfs. How does it compare to ext4?
Hmm… it’s complicated since it’s a very opinionated topic. There will be people who like it and there are people who will kill your entire family because you mentioned it :D The benefits depend on what are you using it for. The difference is mainly in features it provides. I am using it mainly for snapshots, subvolumes and raid support. Raid is stable only for jbod, 0, 1 and 10. 5 and 6 are still having issues. Raid is self healing if I am correct. So if there are some checksum errors it will repair stuff from working mirror.
You need to do some research before using it. For example since it is cow FS it is not good for databases or VM images. But you can turn off the QCOW feature for specific directory. The other thing is space usage. Due tyo snapshots and cow feature 'df -h ’ will not show exactly correct usage data. You have 'btrfs filesystem df -h ’ instead. If you kill up the disk it can be more bothersome to clean it up afterwards.
I would say, try it out and decide yourself. There are definitely videos online that explain it better than I did just now.
Sounds like btrfs is still more on the bleeding edge side of things. Sounds pretty cool for a tester laptop. I installed OpenSuse with it last night, but forgot to format the drive first, so it installed on a small partition. I would just rearrange partitions, but the manpages state that it can cause issues with btrfs, so a reinstall it is haha
Install Linux, problem resolved.
I’m gonna have to go for Linux once my current laptop dies. Now way I’m putting up with Windows 11.
Awesome 👍🏻
Linux Mint is massively less frustrating to use than Windows 10 or 11
Install both! That way you can play all the games you want, if you’re a nerd like me, but you can move the other everyday stuff to Linux!
More games are coming to Linux, it’ll be a while for this process to complete.
Nowadays, Its actually harder to find a game that flat out won’t work. Thanks to Proton, the only games that you can’t play on linux are ones that the developer has specifically forbidden from working on linux via whatever AC they use.
Unless it’s unity era Ubuntu
Install kubuntu, KDE rocks and is very easy to understand for windows refugees
Oh agreed. 20+year Linux user here, and I don’t think (or remember) I’ve used anything else but KDE.
The first thing you would do after browsing lemmy would be installing linux because there are many foss enthusiasist and linux users playing around here in lemmy making you switch to linux
I’ve been on Linux for a while but this shit is starting to make my wife ask about switching over. Which is something I never thought I’d see.
Man, I love Linux, but it’s not a replacement for windows. Like, crucify me if you must, fellow Lemmings, but the world still runs on Windows when it comes to many important everyday things.
For me, it’s game servers and the games themselves. I can’t run half the stuff I want to run on Linux. It sucks, but this is the reality we live in.
Would have been so easy to make this point without irrelevant racist imagery.
Explain, please
Not sure where I could have possibly lost you. Formulate a question.
Not sure how my request wasn’t clear, but I’ll elaborate. You stated that the meme, which didn’t include any mention of race or ethnicity, was ‘racist’.
- What about the meme made it ‘racist’?
- What does ‘racist’ mean to you?
Microsoft: advertises to increase profits like a good capitalist
People: “Is this communism?”
Advertising on a product I own is not conducive with me owning the product, but with me renting it. It’s not communism, but it is me not owning something I thought I own.
Renting and subscription services are very much capitalism.
There’s a reason commies hate landlords.
Commies aren’t the only ones who hate landlords…
Yeah sure but that doesn’t make you renting things communism.
My absolute most hated one is when signing in and using a two factor Authenticator. If you don’t use the Microsoft one. Every time you log in it “recommends” you to use their own. Fuck off.
Before anyone says go Linux. This is a work comp. I use Linux and Mac at home.
Yes! I hate that!!
I won’t tell you to use Linux. I feel that it should be your choice. Like Mac, Linux isn’t for everyone. And if you use Microsoft’s email service on Linux, you’ll have the same anyway. It’s not windows that’s the problem at its core, it’s Microsoft.
Only linux is “ours”
Friends don’t let friends drive windows.
Oppression breeds rebellion, why relying on a software you have zero control over, that the company that owns it respects you so litle that they pre install adware and spyware, learn to use Linux or BSD, you don’t have to use it all the time, but learn the basics, understand how this machine you use so much works, seize that litle piece of freedom back, and even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.
When you install windows ypu can set timezone to “world” and it will not be there…
You can also avoid making a microsoft account (or logging in) if you log innusing a@a.com and any password.
Then it will say something went wrong but you can continue, by making an offline account
Removed by mod
That is exactly why you buy cheap keys for your windows install and remove everything you don’t need. Edge got nuked from orbit by me and most annoying ads disappeared with it. I killed all notifications and I am now much happier.
Without Edge, many things don’t work on windows. Also, those cheap license sites have a tendency to sell illegally obtained keys. Once Windows does a key audit, the affected PC can have its key disabled. Although, you strike me as the type of individual that can bypass the key audits. Disabling notifications is one of the first things I do on windows.
Yeah, i disabled basically all telemetry on windows. I also will never upgrade to 11. It sucks donkey balls. Also I haven’t noticed any change in edge being gone. Maybe I just got lucky.
Forgot to say, I got my keys from a system builder who had a shit ton of them but had to get them off the shelves because windows 11 was around the corner. So they are all legally obtained.
What method did you use to shut off telemetry? When I did do on my home computer, the calculator app stopped working. Along with a few more apps I don’t use (phone, i think, people, the Xbox ones, etc)
I have several windows 10 pro keys from laptops I put Linux on. Maybe some day, I’ll use the keys. Unlikely, though.
I used the windows debloater to remove most telemetry and then shut off services that were left in the task manager until something broke completely. It was a bit of a process but it worked. I use my PC for 3d modeling and gaming. Never used half the integrated apps because I have no need or already have better ones or actually a physical calculator. In general with my PCs I just delete anything that I will never use. Like office for example.
It’s been downhill since Windows 7. I think this will be my last Windows PC.
I just don’t feel safe with Windows that next time I boot up there won’t be some fresh horror I didn’t ask for and have to go research how to put back in the bottle.
It’s like having your computer pre-rooted with malware.
Come join the fight against evil, join those who wish to give you control over the shit you own, go ahead and load https://www.fedoraproject.org/ onto a USB and try it out. Most software either has excellent alternatives, or works fine under Wine!
My daily driver.
mine too, although I use Arch on my PC, i use fedora on my laptop (asahi linux ftw!)
