Just make sure any sites you goto are https and you should be fine.

If you don’t want them knowing what sites you go to, you could put a VPN client on your phone.

Otherwise if you have lots of data then that’s all moot.

This is why I leave my work phone at work.

Rendering is not what you are doing server side.

Servers would just be checking to make sure a player can actually do something and if they can’t don’t let the client do it. Then any changes made client side would only affect the player making the changes.

It boggles my mind Riot would rather use a hacky method like kernel level anti-cheat instead of just having the servers mirror the game logic and confirm everything. Its all about saving money at our expense.

Start’s off with “Windoes used to mean freedom”. Yep I noped out. This person doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

I mean I switched my work computer to Linux and risked being reprimanded/ losing my job because I’m never using windows ever again in any capacity.

I feel like that’s a little bit closer to a refugee lol. Luckily so far no one has seemed to notice or care.

Couldn’t I just rebuild the database completely? Start from scratch and have it just remake all the metadata?

Clearly you don’t data hoard. Us Data hoarders are never finished.

How does this affect LineageOS?

For me it was battery life. The thing wouldn’t sleep properly.

Nice thing is, usually the dumb phones have removable batteries. So just remove the battery when you’re not using it. Problem solved.

Nixos

Fuck that, I ain’t no slave. My only option under the current system is to sell myself. Funny thing is though, is that I’m a human fucking being, so I get to make decisions.

like putting Linux on my work laptop.

Installing Linux would remove all of that software. Your computer essentially disappears from/stops reporting to their systems. It would likely get removed after a while of inactivity as the lists are cleaned up. All IT jobs ive worked they like to keep the list of computers as alive as possible so that means cleaning up dead or unresponsive computers.

I work IT at a college. I don’t really keep any important data on my device. It’s all either on OneDrive or Teams, which is OneDrive, or maybe a Share.

I’m not too worried about it.

It may be their computer, but it’s my time I’m spending on it. And if I’m going to be doing that it’s not going to be on Windows.

I don’t want Microsoft hearing my voice or collecting any biometric data. I don’t want anything to do with them. They can screw right off. If my job doesn’t value that/me, then bye.

“Former”

This is so accurate, it hurts.

I authenticate just fine. Most of our stuff is in the cloud and web based. There’s Teams for Linux, OneDrive for Linux. I use LibreOffice, and then the rest I just use the web version.

Outlook, I use the web version. Same with all the shares and print stuff.

All it takes to be true is one little USB stick 😉

It’s definitely doable. There’s plenty of companies and governments in Europe that have made the switch to open source away from Microsoft.

You deserve to have an OS that doesnt spy on you. As well if you install linux then your company can’t spy on you either.
