tbf Samsung has a decent-ish ecosystem as well…
as long as all your devices are Samsung ones
there’s stuff like automatic earbud switching, dragging files between devices, “continue work on other device”, Samsung seamless codec for audio etc
yes, but most games aren’t.
there’s no reason to avoid good indie games just because they’re not foss, unless you’re a toxic fossbro or something
most games are not foss, and it makes sense.
(games are more like works of art ranter than software after all, so it just doesn’t matter)
copyright will eventually expire after your death
and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal
the author can still sell the work, the NC prevents other people from profiting off of it without explicit permission (this does not prevent exemptions, work can still be sold under cc-by-sa as an exemption)
or CC BY-NC-SA (the non-commercial-use-only one)
i mean you can just buy a Dell laptop with a copy of Ubuntu preloaded instead, they sell those as an option with most models
i mean it’s annoying but how is it disgusting?
it just shows recently opened files/software mixed in with stuff you open frequently, it’s not an ad section or anything.
but yeah i have disabled it on all my machines, because I’m not using it + disabling it adds two extra rows of pinned apps…
that will prevent you from using any features that use gog galaxy stuff tho. achievements, updates, friends, networking etc
it’s currently opt-in rather than opt-out, fully on-device and won’t work on devices with weak NPUs (or on any which completely lack it)
unless it changes in the future it’s not that bad at the moment tbh
there are simd accelerated json decoders
it’s for the official Office keyboard.
it comes wirh shortcuts to ms office stuff and was supposed to work without installing any software, so they bound them to an extremely long key combinations no one will trigger by accident and shipped the changes to all windows users.
also another fun fact: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win corresponds to the “Office” key, and hitting that combination will make Windows silently and automatically download and install the Microsoft/Office 365 App and launch it, even if it was previously removed
I’d argue floating wms are more intuitive and some can still tile pretty well if you want that
administrator in windows != root, it’s more like user account in sudoers file (but without password auth) processes don’t start out with admin rights under administrator accounts on windows, they still need to request the user to elevate (unless uac is off)
I just treat polkit as “set it and forget” kind of thing and leave it on defaults, I’d rather spend my time on something more important
systemd is more of a set of products and software components branded under a single name rather than a single thing.
systemd itself is rather simple, as most other pieces systemd-* software, like systemd-boot, systemd-networkd and systemd-resolvd. these are usually more stable and less bloated than more popular alternatives
sudo is overkill for most users tbh
the clock app has a built in spotify integration and player.
the calculator sends diagnostic data.
