I might be ootl, but as far as we know, wasn't EAC ruled out? I recall watching Pirate Software's videos breaking everything down, and iirc, it was more likely that the individual computers were compromised at some point than it was remote code execution. Though it was still up in the air what the hacker could do, as they seemed to be able to send commands the server would accept (eg, gifting thousands of packs to steamers live on stream). Been a while since I watched, and the vids are also hours long so I don't expect anyone else to sit through it, but here's the first if anyone's interested.

I think they're talking moreso about having anything to do at all, not just work. I think we all agree that work can be a drag. But if I didn't need to work to make a living, I'd still be doing things - hobbies, learning new things, whatever. I'd rot away if I just sat on the couch watching tv all day everyday, for example.

I've never heard of this before, and it sounds interesting after a cursory search online. Why the downvotes?

iirc, the only safe time to look directly at the eclipse is during totality, where the moon has completely blocked the sun. But that's a pretty small window, Dustin from SmarterEveryDay put out a really informative video last month if anyone's interested. He interviews Dr. Telepun who wrote a book on it and made an app that audibly walks you through what's happening during the eclipse in real time, really neat stuff.

If you happen to remember what brand name it had or what it was called, I'd love to know. Sounds amazing.

They've said they're committing to keeping perpetual licensing and are using Canva's resources to speed up development though. So far, seems okay to me. At least for now. Unless anyone knows otherwise?

Especially, iirc, since meta now collects data on the space you're in. No thanks.

That is crazy, are there more clips or compilations? I'm just finding out about it through this post

duckduckgo does that with @duck.com email addresses too, I've liked using them so far

I'm in the same boat as you but haven't figured out how to install different DEs yet. Did you find a good guide for installing/uninstalling them?

I keep seeing this, and yes, it's running the image of the Linux community. Even for me who's part of it.

"Help, Windows problem."

"Linux is the answer."

"But I want to use Windows."

"Then you're a stupid ingrate who's below me and deserve nothing good in your life."

Do you hear yourselves? I'm exaggerating, but come on guys. You're better than this, good grief.

Listen I'm all for Linux and use it myself, but this is not the way to get people to switch. Even I'm starting to get annoyed by all the answers in these threads being "Just switch to Linux, there are definitely no problems and it's a 1:1 workflow." (Yes, hyperbole. But you get the idea.) If a user has an issue and does not want, or cannot, switch to Linux, then Linux is not the solution.

You're not wrong. They're still stuck in the "abusive relationship" with MS. In fact you're absolutely right. But trying to push Linux onto these people like this only results in their view of Linux getting worse, and makes them more likely to stay on Windows to avoid the insufferable Linux users. It's coming from a good place, but it's honestly not helping. Every solution needs to consider the user's use case and their parameters, or else it doesn't matter. In the end what you're saying is not wrong at all, but you're still not offering the right solution.
