arch seems the coolest, with Wayland, kde, hyperland customization

While I have no experience with Unreal Engine, so I can't give an informed recommendation, I just figured I'd point out that you can do this with every distro

On the one hand, it's about time - APT was released in 1998, and it wasn't even the first package manager.

On the other hand, I'm sure Microsoft will find a way to make it shit.

Pirates never had Sony install a rootkit on their computer. Paying customers did, though.

Well this thread is an absolute shitshow.

Jellyfin is great, but if you refuse to let yourself understand that Plex's ease of setup for remote access is a point in its favour - especially when sharing with non-tech savvy people - then you're just as bad as the supposed "Plex shills".

Plex is well on the enshittification train, and I've always been a bit concerned about how private it may or may not be, but there's absolutely no way I'd have been able to share a Jellyfin instance with my grandfather, especially as his dementia got worse.

In intermediate, there was a guy who was always a massive dick to me, but we had a mutual friend and were in the same house so we interacted far more than I would have liked.

Turns out he fucking killed someone.

If you're buying a PC that doesn't have the specs to run Windows 11, you're probably only using it for web browsing tasks anyway. I'd wager that many of them wouldn't even notice that they're using a different OS.

Still becomes e-waste if Roku drops support for it. Granted, that’s not the best example as I’ve got an old-ass Roku that still works, but the point stands. Same goes for Fire sticks and other devices like that.

Just look at Spotify's Car Thing.

...but then your clothes might look like you've worn them before.

What are you? Poor?

It’s some sort of perverse arms race built around a shared lie we all pretend we don’t know about.

There's a lot of that when it comes to work in general. It's like it's taboo to point out that the only reason people show up to their jobs is because they get paid for it.

...this looks like it was written by a supervisor who has no idea what AI actually is, but desperately wants it shoehorned into the next project because it's the latest buzzword.

Use Firefox.

Even the Android version lets you install uBlock Origin.
