On Microsoft's current Windows versions you don't need an additional Anti-Virus anyway. Windows Defender does the same and generally is as good as or better.
Also avoids trusting more parties.
Community note: Free software is in many cases more convenient than their proprietary alternatives. Proprietary software quickly becomes very inconvenient if you dislike how it works, if you don't want to be a product, or if it has ads (like in your operating system? That's pretty inconvenient, Microsoft).
The meme I stole from is pretty funny:
Idk who made it. Alt Text:
Six habits of happy people
- find meaning in consumerism
- learn to laugh at suffering
- work yourself to exhaustion
- abandon your [redacted]
- become insane
- stop observing objective reality
For others who wonder the same: the announcement is from the 19th this month and they licensed it under Apache 2.0.
This is really cool to see! I hope they are testing the waters for releasing the source engine as free software. I remember Gabe Newell stating that they would consider it if people were interested. Doesn't have to mean anything, but a woman can dream~
Which ironically seems to be very antisemitic to me?
your opinions you can have if you're on lemmy.blahaj.zone:
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
What's the Linux desktop for the playful developer? 🤔
I really like the new logo.
I think mid translates to reliable and boring. Which is desirable for an OS.
I am gonna say the obvious: the echo dots have their own Spotify client. You could use network speakers and stream from your phone to them. I think Spotify even supports them fairly well.
The protocol is... DLNA?
I'm very glad GNOME does such an amazing job staying modern in its look. GNU+Linux and free software would be much worse off without it.
it was me sorry
