I am happy that I've been useful ๐Ÿ˜„ The experience on windows will always be worse than on linux sadly. But I have no choice, I have to use winslop for work, so I made it work. ๐Ÿ˜…

I experienced the same bug in winslop: It is not the neovim fault, but the terminal emulator. While WT (default for 11) is good enough, for some computers it is pretty laggy. I recommend wezterm.

Source: I manage many onprem windows PCs with automation, and some 1 of them experienced this issue.

Great now I procrastinating by watching youtube tutorials about how to be more productive, thanks!

Banking and other finance related services are the only place where I don't mind KYC. Others I drop as soon as they request it and I seek alternatives.

But I will drop my online bank as well as soon google enforce the 'only verified developer applications'. 90% of my applications, incuding system applications like laucher, are not installed from the play store. I plan to switch to a linux 'phone' and only use services which are usable from a browser / without google securnet.

pls dont, HDD prices are on the rise as well. Just full format ๐Ÿ˜…

I went nuclear, when gaming was still hit or miss (only wine existed) since I only installed windows to update my BIOS. I advise to use a separate harddrive and do not do as I did: Used gparted to separate space for windows in my data drive, installed, updated the BIOS, used gparted to recover my initial state. I was sweating the whole time, but all of my data was intact.

Simple: I already migrated most of my friends over Signal. I did not know better alternatives at the time. While I agree with you, not about SimpleX I dont have enough info about it, but about that there are better solutions.

We have to choose our threat level. Signal is great when you don't want to expose your data to companies mining it for their profit. It is not so great when you are a person of interest, and need absolute privacy.

The metadata is worthless and pricy to use it for an awarage joe.

oh I should have answered the question:

Either totally separated from everyone because I refuse to give up my privacy, or in a jail cell because I am against surveillance.

AGI is not the stuff we should fear at this moment or near future. Fascist billionaires holding most of our multimedia is way more scary. 100% of the humans do not think they can be manipulated, but here we are look around. Whoever controls the information will govern the world. Nobody cares, aside for gullible CEOs, about AI replacing human workers, its just used to squeeze extra money out of them. They only care about the mass manipulation potencial, which is already started. +Surveillance ofc, but we are already trained to give up our rights without even reading the terms.

That was my 1st account... Not signed for porn, but I switched to lemmy in the first big migratory wave, and no other instance replied to my registration request. I even donated. Since then I have registered to many lemmy, but only this (reddthat.com) survived ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I have used both Arch and Eos. I use a special tiling wm, and I have Nvidia. Form Arch I have to install everything I need, from Eos I just select install without a wm/dm remove some bloat and install the missing. Almost the same outcome, almost the same time to set up. So it does not matter (for me).

Out of the box Eos provieds ease, Arch provides knowledge (along the way). I have friends which are tech savy enough to daily drive Eos, but unintrested to learn how the linux ecosystem works by installing Arch (at least until a bug forces them to read the wiki)
