I don’t think you should proactively “switch to Linux”. Instead you should “play with Linux”, ideally duel boot and a day will come when you can’t remember the last time you used Windows.

Nothing in my post is pro Tory. Tories are for the Triple lock and I’m against it. You didn’t read my post, you didn’t understand my post. You just typed some rude shit in like a dumb fuck.

The triple lock is unsustainable. After a 10% boost because of inflation they’re about to get an 8% boost due to wage rises at a cost of 2.2b to workers. During a decade of stagnation they got the 2.5% boost creating an unsustainable debt.

We give more money to old people than defence, policing and education combined. You get less than 50% return on your taxes handed over.

It’s just not sustainable. These are exactly the people who should be paying tax in a fair society. Rejoining the EU and taxing a few companies won’t suddenly reduce the problems we have, it’s stupid to even suggest it given the gravity of our situation. We have the highest taxes in 75 years, a student loan puts your tax rate to 63%. Boomers got paid to go to uni. Our debt obligation is practically where it was after the Second World War.

People need wage rises to pay for housing that’s tripled in price since the 90s. Old people don’t have mortgages and they got help with their gas bills through other schemes… so why are you defending giving them 18% uplift when workers had to strike for just 6%?

Conspiratorial but has a string of possibility.

User: What are you doing?

Microsoft and Motherboard manufacturers: Putting DRM chips on the motherboard.

User: Why?

Microsoft: No reason.

User: Most businesses would switch to a cheaper toilet paper to save $5, why are you shipping chips and developing software and technology to use these chips.

Microsoft: Oh we’re not going to force anyone to do anything, we just want the ability to. Look at this workaround that we expect 0.015 of our billions of Windows users to use.

A linux distro is a linux distro. It’s you, who invests the time to experiment and understand, who unlocks advanced features. There’s no shortcuts to learning Linux than to use it and read about it and install it many many times.

It was amazing but I was young and it was wonderful to discover. I think people have fond memories for it really.

It’s very similar to Lemmy, if not just the same thing done a different way. I think there were only upvotes (I can Digg it).

For young people discovering Lemmy, as it is now, and discovering Linux subreddits etc, they probably get the same enjoyment/attachment etc.

The redesign of Digg downplayed it’s communities and put mainstream media first (as if Kbins magazine tool was restricted to famous newspapers) and thus it immediately felt like the community had been fractured. Reddit was growing with peoples own blogs and it felt way more community oriented. This is where I think and hope Lemmy will also find its own community.

Go swimming in the sea

Open for ventilation and to hear a potentially screaming kid.

Lining his pockets.

If it’s based on the timing of replies it can be fixed in an iPhone update by simply waiting a few random seconds or minutes before firing a response.

There isn’t much backlash at all. You just live in a Lemmy and github echo chamber.

You can’t live your whole life literally standing shoulder to shoulder with people can you! How are you going to eat or sleep or work? You going to spend your life living like a penguin? Except it’s also billion penguins deep.

I don’t think you’ve started disproving anything yet. You’re a complete idiot.

It’s easy to tell people how to bypass enabling the feature, you play the slow game. They’re waiting for Windows 10 to fade out too. “Oh look you’ve beaten TPM… so clever” but when 90% of machines have it enabled, they will switch on DRM for Netflix and leave you unable to play things. They say you chose to tamper with DRM security and that’s why you can’t watch things.

In terms of conspiracy, motherboards components cost money. TPM adds risk to the operating system. They features are being shipped because they plan to use them. It’s not just for the giggles.

Because they haven’t paid taxes to run the services they want to consume.

Because we can’t all live in the same place and people shouldn’t be forcibly evicted from their homes by violent people.

Because it ruin the lives of people who don’t live on the absolutely lowest rung of quality of life.

If you don’t have a valid token generated by the hardware device on your machine, the website can just refuse to serve you.

A hacked copy of windows wouldnt boot with TPM switched on.

The TPM module only generates valid tokens it if your boot sequence isn’t tampered. That boot sequence can force your machine to validate itself with windows servers to ensure it isn’t hacked.

A hacked copy of Windows may be prevented from working when you go online.

What people really mean when they say this is

it’s in the last place you think to look

This again is a misnomer because, not just because you stop looking… but because people find it hard to admit things are lost. All part of the half serious, half ridiculous psuedo science of Findology (disclaimer: my own blog)

I just want remind everyone that Windows 11 requires your computer to ship with TPM2.0 enabled. This will complete the circuit meaning remote streaming websites can ensure you don’t have DRM on your machine.

TPM is a security token loaded into the firmware of the BIOS put in by the manufacturer to ensure you haven’t tampered with the operating system as shipped and controlled by them.

That will be nice for those websites.

Just use Firefox
