Mastodon is tagged with Privacy but Signal isn’t? I wonder what privacy means to OOP

Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I’m just lucky.

If being ready means “runs Windows applications” to you, then obviously Windows will always be the best choice.

Like, what a metric lol

Next you’re gonna tell me MacOS isn’t ready either, because you can’t play many Windows games on it as well

Complaining about hardware compatibility on Linux while Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs is crazy.

Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.

Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.

Identifying the source of an article is very different from the common use case for search engines.

1:1 quotes of web pages is something conventional search engines are very good at. But usually you aren’t quoting pages 1:1.

Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you’re not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I’d recommend against using them for personal systems.

I think it’s referring to the driver version 570, which isn’t stable yet but working fine in beta.

I use Wayland with Nvidia (proprietary beta driver) every day (including for applications running over Wine) and have no issues.

So while some may still have issues, I certainly wouldn’t call it “completely busted”.

same with vrr

Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year

Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.

Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.

Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).

So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?

You seem like a very relaxed person
