People want to return to a lighter simple Windows OS, but Microsoft is making that increasingly hard to access. The LTSC version of Windows 10 is close(No AI, No Ads, and minimal telemetry that can be disabled), but they dont sell it to the public unless you buy 5 copies, and there is no LTSC version of Windows 11 yet. looks like they finally released it a couple months back, but people are unhappy with it.
Linux offers an alternative, but compatibility is still a huge issue despite the impressive gains Wine and Proton have made in the last few years.
The reality is that if you have a Windows PC you can basically guarantee that you can install anything you might want(barring hardware limitations). You can often make that software work on Linux too, but there is always some tinkering involved and the general public doesn't want to deal with that, nor do they want to change to a FOSS alternative.
Bluesky is...fine. Currently, it operates the way that I wish Twitter did. It lets you curate your feed, it shows the feed in chronological order, and finally and most importantly it has a critical mass of users so there is actual content there, rather than every 5th post complaining about how everyone is on another platform or not using Linux.
Really, the only issue I have with it is that it is owned by a corporation. But like Twitter and Reddit, I am willing to abandon it for something else when it gets shittier.
“I am LGBT and Mentally Ill,” one post by an employee on an internal Meta platform called Workplace reads. “Just to let you know that I’ll be taking time out to look after my mental health.”
Ah, the old calling in to work because you're too gay
I haven't tried to use hamachi in years so I'm not sure about a solution to your problem. However, I can strongly recommend Zerotier as a potential alternative
"Wait, my opinion has already been covered across a few other comments. No one will care about another echo in the chamber, I'll delete that and just upvote those other comments and move on"
Total shot in the dark knowing basically nothing about the situation, but if your house is over 10 years old and you also have cable internet, you might have a MoCA filter somewhere along the coax line(They can be outside too)
They were installed all over the place to prevent interference between cable TV and cable Internet, but sometimes they cause problems getting a stable internet connection
I often explain it as though they're asking an airplane mechanic to fix their Honda Civic. The principals are the same(fuel goes in, rotation comes out) but the machines are so different that doesn't help much from a practical standpoint
I appreciate the work put into this guide. But I'm going to be honest, there are simply no words you can type that will prevent me from cleaning my glasses on my shirt when they get smudged.
You ever lose a rap beef so bad that you try to sue the record company for releasing the diss track?
