Probably not, because it’s a lie.

Every time someone cries about hardware not being supported, you find out they didn’t care to look up compatibility. You can also ask the vendor, if you’re lost.
It’s like you buy a Diesel car and complain that it it’s annyoing because it breaks when you fill in gasoline.
I noticed my posts don’t get submitted when I swear. I also don’t post in this case, because sometimes you need to swear to make a point.
That’s why it’s also called Curry-Howard isomorphism.
Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can’t be, either.
If it’s on company time, it’s fine.
This doesn’t seem to be a problem with snap. Canonical probably tried to show vendors a way how to distribute software commercially. But vendors are on the level of cavemen and don’t know shit about Linux even after serving a solution. Or they simply don’t care about building up a market opportunity.
I don’t want to defend Ubuntu. I don’t like Ubuntu especially, but it might be a simple explanation.
It is a good way to have a fire hazard at home, if you don’t know what you’re doing.
It was getting better after the circuit board came off. (also: gifs that end too soon)
Next time buy from vendors who use USB flash drive or bootable CD-ROM.
Also, I doubt that Google wanted to destroy XMPP. They simply needed a chat then noticed it’s crap for mobile devices. They wanted to offer their users seemless migration to the new proprietary protocol.
I was sad that Google stopped to use an official standard, but there are many better free options left.
That doesn’t make sense, because Android is quite open. You can literally download apps everywhere from the internet.
The only thing that you’re not allowed to do is to take advantage of the Google store and circumvent their microtransaction system. If you want to have own microtransactions, do it on yourself.
Wait, I thought the terminal/shell was the modern UI…
I’ve been using vim/neovim for more than a decade. Here are my favorite plugins (ranked):
You should notice that I use the word “trust”. I install stuff on my servers and PCs from people who I trust. Why should I trust someone who makes an anticheat engine. Why should I have a reason to do that?
You should also understand that a kernel-level piece of code that can be updated is a very good rootkit. It contains all essential tools to modify hardware, kernel, install drivers, keyloggers etc. It satisfies the definition of “rootkit” very well.
One single piece of code is enough to be a rootkit.

Popular definition (e.g . Ionos):
Rootkits: The rootkit is considered to be a type of Trojan horse. Many Trojan horses exhibit the characteristics of a rootkit. The main difference is that rootkits actively conceal themselves in a system and also typically provide the hacker with administrator rights.
If you compromise your system with software that you don’t know and potentially can introduce a backdoor (even involuntary via bugs), you have a rootkit installed.
If you don’t trust it, don’t install it with admin privileges. Maybe don’t install it at all. Anticheat is a shady business. And mostly not owned by the company that produces the maybe trusted product to be protected.
Anti cheat = rootkit. You should not install it at all.
That’s why BBC journalists have been there.
I’m a total newb when I use GUIs. I need max automation… I don’t really know how to do this. Also… I never had issues with drivers. And on Windows there is almost nothing installed. You need to install stuff by using a browser … horrible.
