My general rule of life regarding tech is:
>Computer battlestation dual or triple display setup with audio interface, microphone and all the fancy stuff like HDD-towers to save my own collection of TV series and shit ---- YES !!!
>Social media of any kind ----- NO !!!
>Messengers for keeping contact to IRL friends ----- YES !!!!
>Smartphones or mobile/portable devices that exclude you from real life and environment while outside socialising with people or just walkig/driving from A to B ---- NO !!!
>Smart home appliances and shit like smart fridges that order stuff for you or Amazon, Google or Apple spy microphones ------ NO !!!

I want the Internet and the digital grid stay out of my life when i'm outside and meet with friends. I hate nothing more than meeting with people i haven't seen for a couple years or month and they and up all staring at their smartphone screens instead of talking to each other.
I have left such "meetings" with harsh comments regarding this.
Some took it positive and some felt offended and spewed hate on me for pointing out the bitter truth. Fuck them.

I don't even have a cell phone numer since some years back, and i don't fucking miss it.

Must suck to be young these times.

I couldn't agree more.
But capitalism literally needed people to look at screens all day so they'd consume more.
Capitalism is the driving force behind all technology and its adoption which sickens me. We dont actually need smartphones - companies need us to use them.

THIS !!!!
If people once understood this, they will with a little discipline stop using this shit.

The only smartphone i own is an old Galaxy S4. I bought it for 40 bucks from a friend and i have an offline open street maps on it to navigate with it without the need of a SIM-Card or internet connection. Just enable the GPS module and you're good to go.
Too many people are depending on streaming services and Google maps to be working.

I bet my ass, most people would not be able to manage their normal life without all these shitty apps and internet these require.
We can only hope that for some reason at least cell phone internet will blackout for a few month or weeks to get people waking up.

With regards to clean install
Can I use ventoy to install Win11 or do I use this "Rufus"? I haven't used either.
Also, is there some significance between Win11 24 or ,25 that I should stick with an older version or just whatever is latest on massgrave?

>>107648595
If the Shift+F10 command prompt was blocked in the OOBE so I couldn't set the shit needed to let me through without a net connection in any way, I'd just boot up an 11 install USB, wipe the OEM install completely with diskpart's clean command and re-install stock Windows. If the prompt wasn't blocked I'd just change Home to Enterprise with MAS.
The difference are that they're just feature packs, 24H2 came out late 2024 while 25H2 came out late 2025. And I've been using ShutUp10 forever to set things, and it's best practice to not use multiple of these tools at once. Though Wintoys and CTT WinUtil are much more like toolboxes for an assortment of things besides ShutUp10 just being a toggle setter.

guys, explorerpatcher, retro bar or? startallback is not freeware, dont want to risk pirating shit thats cracking explorer
heard explorerpatcher is often buggy when windows has new installs?

>>107649186
ventoy is better than rufus

ventoy: has its own bootloader, once you install it on a usb stick all you need to do is copy paste an .ISO on your usb stick folder, and it's useful because you can add multiple ones, useful if you wanna test multiple different versions or also want to have quick access to linux distros; once you boot, you get an interface that lists your ISOs and it boots what you need

rufus: older tool, similar but basically can only handle one iso at a time (you don't just drop an iso on it, it formats and installs the iso content on the usb stick instead), can still be useful in some nicher cases but not for what you need now

Nt4 and wn2k uses the nt kernel where as 95, 98 and ME used MSDOS. Up till Windows 7 we had a modified classic 95 theme.

>>107648780
classic theme on windows 7 is crippled because WDDM removed GDI hardware acceleration. Because hardware acceleration is gone, gdi has to be drawn into system memory, and then copied to video memory, these copies are pretty lazy, so the UI is incredibly laggy, its a terrible user experience.

>>107648871
They should have made classic theme compatible with WDDM/DWM.

Anyone use KDevelop on FreeBSD?

>>107649114
what do you mean? they even have official nvidia drivers from nvidia because some contract or some shit.
still I wouldnt use that OS though, not even developers themselves use freebsd. openbsd actually gets used by devs at least.

>>107649172
not him but openbsd is slow and full of bugs despite it's claims about security
most mitigations they have are useless which also goes against the "remove unnneded code" policy

Since the thread doesn't seem to have links to guides, FAQs, etc... Is it advisable to use BSD if I don't have any servers? I mean, for simple desktop use. It always intrigued me, but I've never tried it, and I'm hesitant to install it just for the sake of doing so without a particular purpose. I'm also unaware of the advantages it may have over Linux. I don't mind much about the lack of compatibility.

>>107649076
>Can't they just take the drivers from Linux?
it depends on the licensing, if it's not under a permissive license then no.
now you see why GNU cultists are hypocrites. you either lock yourself into their system or they position you as the bad guy. does that sound like "freedom" to you?
>freedom: The condition of being free of restraints, especially the ability to act without control or interference by another or by circumstance.
GNU people are religious fanatics who want to assimilate everyone at whatever cost. they're paranoid about their code being "stolen" from them the same way a film company is paranoid about losing their sales to piracy. BSD people do not care what corporations do.

>>107648217
Depends, with syncthing for example it would detect conflicts between files, save both versions and ask you to resolve them manually. It may concievably cause instability because normally this check is done per-file, rather than per-folder, so you will need to be careful not to take some files from one browser and some from another when resolving.
No idea how something like dropbox would handle this.

>9060 XT with a 7600X

I'm a huge newfag to PC gaming but why is this happening? in other games like Darktide the power draw never goes above 70-80W even when performance is worse than my framerate cap.
Is this a CPU bottleneck?

>>107648362
>"GPU usage percentage doesn’t directly equal power draw, so a 9060 XT can be at 50–60% load and still consume around 130W depending on clock speeds, voltage, and workload type."

>Stores wouldn't be stocked

>Huge swatches of manufacturing
how much of the economy is this prole crap anymore? like 20%? the lords who own us and rule us don't care. this shit can crash and burn, and you barely contribute to it anyway. for every actually physically productive worker, whose output directly contributes to something other people end up actually using, there are already 10 freeloaders just clogging up the system and serving as distributed consumption engines

you already have barely any purchasing power as a non-elite. most office drones are already largely redundant. if they can reduce the number of caste menials toiling in complex, unstructured environments to a minimum that can be easily ruled, the rest of the teeming masses of humanity and adjacent humanoids become little more than friction in the system, an atavistic evolutionary branch that should be extirpated

>>107644673
>Stores wouldn't be stocked
they would still be stocked, but a more efficient and automatable shelving system would be utilized.
>Trucks and trains wouldn't run

>Huge swatches of manufacturing would be gone

>"i program in a style very unique to myself and it throws people off"
it just sounds like you write garbage-tier code. anyone can barf out spaghetti that kinda works, but that's not what people pay developers to do

>>107647276
when im actually able to execute what im trying to do its usually well recieved and optimized to a point where i can explain it to anyone without much issue. for example i recently made a rudimentary 3D renderer in a 2D engine and the entire thing was only like, 4 threads between 2 object types

>>107647419
Code optimised (for performance) is not always good code for readability or maintainability or robustness for example.
Now one thing that is true is that different areas have different requirements, and gamedev is often the type of programming that cares much less about traditional maintainability and much more about just pure optimisation and also writing it and getting it to work fast. This was especially true on older platforms and consoles were performance was at an extreme premium (and is somewhat less true today on modern engines). So if you're writing game code for esoteric or retro engines then fair enough, it's gonna be weird and that's fine.

For almost anything else though the requirements are usually different. For a user-facing or desktop application, making the code easy to read, understand and expand with new features is much more important. For a business application, the biggest importance might be correctness, so making the code verbose, explicit in all its preconditions and invariants, and heavily testable. Etc. "Weird" code is usually considered trash code in those environments.

If you're a gamedev it changes the context a lot compared to the above.

Unironically the first 2-3 years of undergrad courses can largely be replaced with AI. This was also one of the purposes of community colleges, to act as cheaper feeders for four year institutions. However colleges are a business so obviously there is no incentive to accept transfer credits any more than is necessary to maximize profits.
