fortunately this opinion is becoming more and more popular and widespread.

doesnt have to be an emp or solar flare. one malicious actor getting access to the wallets is all it takes and far more likely in my view

the homm3hd and hota mod keeps it alive

technically nothing but it serves as a privacy respecting alternative to meta/google controlled messengers.

things like mastodon and pixelfed are rather easy to wrap your head around and replace their big tech counterparts with if you are the average user.

there is no real replacement for an instant messaging/sms like experience. matrix is at the moment still a bit too complicated to get into if you have come to expect a workflow like: download an app -> write your phone contacts a message.

so although it is not federated it is the best we have got at the moment in my opinion

a wild guess: try setting LD_PRELOAD=“” %command% Im on mobile and cannot look things up properly but that fixed some weird behaviour for me

i wouldn’t generally say not ready for newbies. It depends on your hardware and your individual way of doing things.

you cannot just expect that year or decade long windows habits translate seamlessly to Linux. so there will be a bit of a wall to climb for most people and many failed attempts. that is ok. just try again if you feel like it and you will arrive eventually with a hell of a new computer related problem solving skillset you automatically pick up along the way

sounds interesting. do you have the name of the tool or is it a custom script

fuck patents like this

I’m at the moment quite sick of competetive multiplayergames in general. If you have to resort to malware to thwart cheating in a cost effective way maybe the very Concept of anonymous(as in playing with randoms instead in small communitys on moderated servers) multiplayer itself is flawed

as far as i am aware protonmail is pretty popular. I am hosting my own mail infrastructure but am considering to switch in the long run

I switched a year or so ago and never looked back. there will be issues you need to overcome though. so better start with dualboot before windows 10 is eol

KDE plasma is one of the main reasons the linux desktop is so extremely good for me.

if you think so too, please consider donating to the project

KDE with version 6 is where it’s at. at least for me. youncan use the default or put hours into customizing. gnome is nice, too but bothers me because i want to minimize, maximize and control things like the volume without barriers. but that is personal preference. choose what you Like. if you arent happy or just curious you can always Switch

well thats unfortunate. Personally I’d rather click away one message per year while knowing I donate 40 euros every quarter than having the project die or degrade in the long run.

I think if you complain, you should contribute(either through effort or donation) to make such pop ups unnesseccary.

KDE Plasma albeit a bit bloated in default state is freaking amazing and getting better with every update.

Enjoy whatever DE you Like and complain as you like but just complaining is not going to fix Problems

it is something to ponder

(i would also Like to know)

but not voting or voting red means actively Supporting fascism. on one side you had an old guy who was visibly getting older and on the other side you have a almost comically evil group of persons who want nothing more than to make life more miserable for all people on earth but themselves

the choice should be obvious

games done quick is on

kde connect is my recommendation also

that is of course an option. not my cup of tea though. if I need to do things like that to play some games, I’d rather not play them at all and put my time into games from devs which don’t actively sabotage linux compatibility. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss playing for example pubg or valorant

this episode suddenly got really dark towards the end
