What I find annoying is when the “Sign up with …” button only imports all your data. It doesn’t use OAuth to sign you in and requires you to create a password.

THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF SIGNING IN WITH A THIRD PARTY!

A package manager that does hard-linking helps.

We can? I’ve been blocking it with uBlock Origin.

Edit: Nearly all the settings are locked by my organization except for “Dashboard entry point” which is good enough for me.

This is why I ponder my orb.

If they want to be anonymous, sure. But they should at minimum change their display name to “Anonymous”

There’s a post every so often on !linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Opinion: Games that have “linux support” but explicitly check for Steam Deck hardware should have a disclaimer on the store page or even have their Steam Deck verified status revoked.

Let me just check something on my terminal.

$ uname -sr
Linux 6.14.4-arch1-1

I’m suspicious.

This means they forgot platforms other than Windows exists. It’s likely they’re checking for currently supported systems and anything older is insecure, so blocked for your security.

Likely something like this pseudocode

function isPlatformVersionSupported(useragent) {
    // Windows XP is NT 5.1
    // Windows Vista is NT 6.0
    // Windows 7 is NT 6.1
    // Windows 8 is NT 6.2
    // Windows 8.1 is NT 6.3
    // Windows 10 and 11 is NT 10.0
    if (useragent.name == "Windows" && useragent.version.match(/Windows NT (6\.3|10)/)) {
        return true
    }

    // TODO: insert supported macos versions here

    return false
}

Sometimes I run the update command and there hasn’t been an update since yesterday. I think that’s pretty close.

The windows partition is bloat. Delete it.

You can smuggle imports using importlib.

While I agree with most of the things you said, automatic reboots is a good security feature. And it isn’t android that’s the problem. It’s Google Play Services.

Not just plain text, but hard coded.

I am a 30 year old socialist furry Linux user on the fedi. But that’s just the exception that proves the rule.

Windows does not wake up from “hibernation” to do “updates”. What it really does is sleep walk during S0 sleep (aka Modern Standby) to check for updates, slowly draining your battery. Classic hibernation is not available while S0 sleep is supported by the BIOS.

Mac is also guilty of this.

I’m calling the police.
