Win 2k was my favorite. Ran well and gave the user total control over the system.

I didn’t know all of that. What a story.

This was always a possibility, though.

Same thing the guy who delivers my pizza says when he’s taking my food to someone halfway down the block.

Boomers are in their 70s and 80s now. How do they even have Gen Z coworkers?

I use it for the encryption and IP hiding just to make casual surveillance more difficult, more than trying to be 100% anonymous. If I can’t use a site with Tor, I’ll add an exception for it if it’s something I really need. Otherwise, I find an alternative for whatever I was trying to do, and I don’t really care.

Same.

When I was growing up, overpopulation was supposedly this big problem. The number of people on this planet has nearly doubled since then, and now we have the opposite problem?

I agree. I had frequent problems when I used it, which could take days to figure out, and even then might only be solved by a full reinstall. Linux has had significantly fewer problems for me, and those problems are solved much more easily. My bf is a huge Windows fan, but it seems like he’s struggling with some problem he can’t figure out every other month. Half a drive left as unallocated space instead of being included in a partition, causing constant “disk full” messages, was the most recent issue. On top of bad updates. I don’t bother suggesting he switch, because I know he’s happy with it, but Windowt definitely isn’t problem-free.

I use Librewolf +uBlock Origin + uMatrix + tor proxy. Javascript, XHR & 3rd party anything turned off. If some sites don’t work, it’s doing its job.

No reason to assume that. Outside of big cities, many businesses don’t even have an online existence.

Dnscrypt-proxy has no comparison, IMO. DNS encryption, caching, IP & domain blocking, local DoH. It’s so useful.

People call Tiktok brainrot, but I feel like Windows has had the same effect on people.

They have open source versions that run on Linux. I’d say they’re better than VSCode.

I use PDF Arranger for that.

3B is smaller than I would use, but this is interesting.

Too real.

Also llama.cpp, kobold.cpp, TabbyAPI, Aphrodite engine. There’s dozens of programs, at least, that run LLMs locally.

It used to be common.

Whose sperm do you think he’s using?
