macOS* VMs. And if you don’t care about that, is it no longer solid?

The universe didn’t offer a manual, but mankind has largely arrived at some orthodoxy for the most efficient and ergonomic ways to fret, bend, pluck, tap, strum, etc. In many cases, these are objectively better techniques to use once mastered, but they’re not the only way.

Genuinely curious to hear what great value you think is being delivered to society by adtech.

It would be if it wasn’t also universally shit.

Very neat looking device for the price you paid, but you do not mention how (and I have doubts that) it competes in the areas of:

Fit and finish (not being made of creaky plastic) Display brightness & colour representation Battery life Trackpad Keyboard

For a portable these are just as important as “the numbers”for most people and definitely more noticeable. Perhaps not the case for you though!

And then only trusted devices with an “acceptable” posture and valid manufacturer attestation can participate! Hellscape.

Yes, parental controls already exist. You’re up and down this thread advocating for this particular bill, but what does the technical solution actually look like to you beyond the controls already available? And with regards to account creation specifically, what do you see as a workable solution that isn’t defeated by a “pinky swear”?

Cmd+F ! Thank goodness!

“Low IQ people”

I just had to look at your post history.

Yep.

If I recall, you just hold option whilst clicking the green button and you get the old behaviour

True, but someone writing for a site called windowscentral.com has a business interest in being a windows guy. Although I find it funny to imagine them furtively using Linux.

But if she’s unfit to drive, should she still be allowed to drive?

This is satire, right?

Comparing crusty old stock markets to the mass appeal of shiny, low-barrier-to-entry Polymarket is somewhat naive.

> supposedly most cheaters were connecting via Linux clients

I always find this so hard to believe, mainly because the majority of players are on Windows, which means that the market for cheats is there and statistically most likely to happen there.

I just don’t play games by devs that snub Linux. There are many to choose from.

I think the democracy you want is not the same as the invaders want

Which VPN provider doesn’t have their addresses flagged? I know a few offer “residential” IP addresses (for quite the premium), but as I understand it, these are a bit of a grey area and are also usually shared, so usually just a matter of time until they’re banned or flagged as proxy/shared/anonymiser.

For now

You didn’t look it up, did you?

Driving is privilege, not a right.

The outcome of what’s being suggested comes with all the same issues and evils of genetic eugenics. Think of how fucked up things would have to get to even police and enforce such a nightmarish system. It’s absurd.

Ah yes, eugenics, that’ll make everything better.

This has been a thing since 26.1 I believe.

Yeah, it most certainly does. Very noticeable on iOS. I don’t know if this is an Apple specific thing, or if it’s a similar story on Android.

It’s WireGuard underneath, which is designed to not be very chatty when idle, so I’d put this down to regular back and forth with Tailscale’s control plane, relays, etc.

It’s a shame really, because a huge value prop of TS is that it’s a VPN you just leave on and forget about. I hate having to toggle it when I inevitably forget to and wonder why I’m getting connection errors to private resources.

Lookup the Tailnet Lock feature.

It’s probably that they’re near impossible to break or end up with an unusable system.

Your comments read like you aren’t actually familiar or have any experience with using what you’re criticising.

ARC Raiders is currently all working perfectly for me. Such a blessing. I hope it stays this way.

My IT lessons in the 90s were “here’s how to use spreadsheets and Microsoft office”. It wasn’t until later that I was taught programming and other more foundational concepts that would take me beyond being an office worker that knew how to format and print a letter. Fortunately, I had computers at home and my parents encouraged me to learn how they worked.

Don’t gatekeep. Headscale is interesting, non commercial and absolutely relevant to the discussion.

And buy what instead exactly? We live in a world (or are shortly to be in one) where government and other primary services like banking and digital IDs require not only a smart phone, but one running a “sanctioned” platform where the OS and hardware state have to be attested by a “trusted” provider (Google, Apple, Samsung, etc). Your rooted, Graphene phone need not apply.
