Dyskolos

I’m a windows-fan since… Errr… The first one. I’m a pro also with tons of win-certificates for everything. Even i started to effing hate w11. It started nice with the hdr and such, but the startmenu alone made me go nuts. Bought the one from stardock, didn’t satisfy me, made my own. If they don’t rudder back with their obnoxious ui in w12, I’m probably leaving and only dual booting for optimal gaming. I’m not troubled by the whole consumer annoyances coz I’m in a local domain with a lot of group-policies. Also global ad-/telemetry-block and firewall.

Check out GhostSpectre. Or just the LTSC versions. Or the enterprise-versions where you can tell it what you want or not.

Worry not. According to tradition, win 12 will be pretty solid 😉

Guess that’s a very overlapping part of our culture. Fucking stupid ads for fucking stupid products.

I’d personally love for the assnugget responsible for the ad to have to watch it on repeat for a whole day. Everyone should be forced to watch their own shit for some hours nonstop prior to airing. I bet we’d have way fewer bullcrap-ads.

I mostly hate that they take us for absolute dimwits devoid of any kind of reflection or without a faint flimmer of intelligence.

Just pisses me off. If i happen to see an ad unwillingly, I’ll try to boycott the product. I know i don’t matter, but it’s for me.

Oh i wasn’t… But it’s firewalled anyway 😁

Novalauncher Tasker Automate Fairmail

Ah yes… It’s on gog btw and still works fine. Although i still own the retail version. Gonna have to revisit it

As i sadly have not found them here:

-Gothic (all three). One of the first non-us-centric and it showef

• giants:citizen kabuto. Weird genre-mashup that also was funny.

And a ton more I’m too lazy to list.

Yeah like that 😁 But I’m on the net since day1 and i stopped asking WHY a long time ago 😂

… To which i fell victim. Thanks to the commenter before you for wasting time. And thanks to the world being weird enough to make me believe this without hesitation.

And what is it with my attitude? To have a strong opinion?

I remember the times where we didn’t have a tiny computer with us all day to be reachable. And if I’d be lonely because i don’t give a rats ass about WA, fb and the likes, that’d be indeed lonely but not due to that

I use both. Windows for the domain, backup, Video-surveillance, emby and some other critical things, and linux for proxmox and a lot of diverse vms. Mainly ubuntu lts.

It’s not a religous thing, it’s a pragmatic one. Best tool for the job

This is sadly the exact reason it will stay like this. People can’t reach me because i don’t use WhatsApp? Well bad luck. Use a better app or just don’t. I can’t reach them because they only use WA? What a bummer but so be it.

As long as people install WhatsCrapp because some distant aunt still uses it for the xmas-greetings, it will continue to be #1.

Back in the early days we did it for competition/sports and maybe “fame” . Not for monetary reasons. Most of us never knew financial problems due to employers fighting over us 😁

Can’t speak for the modern crews. But it’s still unlikely. Other crews would find out, call out and their reputation would be done for. Not worth it as there are other options to get some bucks out of it

I dunno where you got that shit, but i never suggested to use a file or whatever. I’m keepassxc-user.

That is actually a good idea. I’m not using one rn as i only manually transfer it. Might be worth considering. Thanks

I don’t know. You wouldn’t really need it, if you’re concerned. If you’re fine you can just C&P or even let keepassxc use it’s auto-type. So no addon needed. It’s just more comfortable. And you can never have security AND comfort. Security is absolutely always uncomfortable.

Even IF there was a quantum-safe-cryptography, doesn’t change the fact, that your most private stuff is in a cloud and you have absolutely no idea what the future might bring. And if i have anything in the past decades in the IT, then it’s that there is always a past-past-something.
