If you’ve never had to dig into a registry file or obscure hidden folder path in Windows, you aren’t enough of a power user to ever have to in a Linux distro either.

Don’t be too optimistic, you probably haven’t seen it because it’s not being rolled out universally just yet; they like to A/B test their massive feature changes.
Endeavour is a great example for gui only users for sure.
It was honestly the one thing I still have never found a feature parity Linux alt for after years; it will always bug me no matter what other “it’s basically the same” suggested player I use instead.
That said, currently I’m making do with Quodlibet, and I have no major complaints. But nothing is an exact replica enough for me not to constantly compare it to Wimamp & complain.
Not a serious suggestion, but I can confirm that WACUP does at least have no noticeable issues using WINE
Source: they made it up
That whole timeline is insane, and the fact that anyone even found this in the totally coincidental way they did is very lucky for the rest of us.
It’s essentially just a remote desktop app, so yeah kinda. Depending on your screen resolution it’ll be either be more or less annoying to click on smaller UI elements, but it’s certainly possible.
I keep my Bluetooth headphones connected to the PC, and there’s maybe a split second delay. Otherwise it’s perfect, because you can still navigate your PC with the touch screen as a mouse, and it even nicely supports my 3 monitors at once.
Still holding out for desktop streaming via SteamLink to work on Wayland. I use it almost nightly to mirror my screen to my phone so I can watch what’s on my PC while cooking dinner via my phone.
Oh sick, thanks!
How do they unload that? Do they kind of just tilt it into the water, or is there a giant crane freighter ship waiting at its destination?
Duly noted, thanks.
Interesting stance.
So, not to throw around too many hypotheticals, but it sounds like by your logic you also would have been opposed to our participation in World War II as well?
I’m just trying to parse your train of thought here.
They must fight their own battle…
To what end? Is this stance worth losing a free nation to Russia if only supporting via arms isn’t enough anymore?
I’m honestly curious why you feel this way.
For me, generally, I don’t really enjoy the idea of sending our military into places like the Middle East; at best we’re teetering on the line of actually being the aggressors in those conflicts, and at worst actually are just clearly at fault. But I kind of think, for once, the issue at hand in Ukraine is pretty cut and dry at this point. If push came to shove and they really desperately needed support from allies, I can’t think of a more righteous use of our military than to defend Ukraine.
Gotta start double-knotting those laces.
Insane take.
You’re talking about outlawing the equivalent of a lock picking set. This tool is used by legitimate security researchers and professional penetration testers all the time. Making this type of hardware less accessible only hurts.
I made a concerted effort one evening to go into my downloads folder on my PC, rename all the nameless garbage filenames, and then actually move and sort them into my pictures/documents/etc folders.
Was a huge pain in the ass, but it saved me so much effort looking for stuff later on down the line. Also, changing Firefox’s default download setting to prompt me for a name and location every time certainly helped.
Isn’t pink generally the same phenomenon? Something about it being the “absence of green light” rather than its own distinct spot on the visible spectrum.
And yet all websites seem to still exist using only email verification.
Yes, and unless you haven’t noticed spam comments and fake account are rampant across most popular online services.
that a server admin and a company shouldn’t be asking for excessive security for recreational uses.
And yet most people don’t care, and just add their phone number to their Discord account without a second thought; because it’s not excessive, it’s the norm. You can’t even make an account on Instagram without providing your phone number, and in some cases and selfie while holding up a security code on a piece of paper to verify you are human. I’m not saying this slow creep into collecting user date should just be hand-waived away by virtue of it’s widespread adoption, but the matter of fact is that if it was really viewed as such an egregious breach of privacy by the average person, then it wouldn’t have survived since no one would be using the affected services.
they need to look into other methods of securing their servers
You seem to be willfully ignoring the fact that phone number verification is the answer to this question. Real people tend to have one phone number, fake phone numbers are easy to create but cost money, emails do not cost money.
Do you really not see the intrinsic benefit of requiring a phone number as the strictest form of online security for a tragically spam-laden service like Discord?
Even Endeavour comes with Discover installed, and stuff like Octopi exists and is pretty bug free these days.
