Flatfire

Plasma ended up being my DE of choice a year ago. Native Wayland support, HDR and VRR, and general adherence to the same Windows paradigm for managing apps/desktop shortcuts made things easy. I don't think that design is wrong, and it's been plenty efficient. It was also the only DE at the time that seemed to be prioritizing matching Windows features where they were clearly strongest rather than trying to pretend Windows had nothing to boast about at all.

Now, if we could talk about letting me enable display outputs without using the terminal that would be greeeeaaaat.

You may want to look into a GROM audio subsystem. They work remarkably well. Buddy installed one in his 2004 Volvo and you'd never know it was there.

Apologies, I didn't mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but they're definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences

Unfortunately I believe both of them are currently in Romania/US at the moment. The UK may have brought charges against them, but they seem to have pretty much escaped prosecution in Romania and have found Asylum in the US under the current government. It's unlikely that either Tates step back into the UK.

War on the poor

Anyone with a job that has to take time away from it to attend. Most tickets aren't likely to exceed that lost time.

Damn, no wonder the kids ain't alright.

I feel like the post is more about the moment of, not the days after. Making several days worth of food doesn't delay the need to do dishes once you're done eating tonight's dinner.

Oh yeah, at the time there was no support for my current registrar. It was a fun enough project to put my own script together anyways.

This is probably not what you're looking for, but I found registering a cheap domain name and using a dynamic DNS script that checks every hour or so against your public IP to be a good way to mitigate issues. It also depends on your ISP. Mine typically only renews upon a reboot of the modem or a new PPPoE authentication.

Others have also suggested Tailscale, and I think that's also a worthwhile option. It's a pretty easy thing to set and forget, working like any oher VPN client. This is the least complex option to navigate, and if Plex was the only service you were forwarding then it's likely the best option.

Ultimately this change, while frustrating, probably doesn't change the initial value for those who fit these two categories:

• Needs Windows
• Cares about their privacy

These people were already going to go out of their way to use the OOBE bypass. They still will. This is no more effort thanbit already was.

Microsoft crossed the line already by disallowing offline account creation through their default setup process.

I mean, not really. You had to open command prompt anyways. The command is just a bit different now. There's no monetary penalty here, just a few more keystrokes.
