Hello everyone, I have an old desktop PC sitting right there doing nothing. I'm trying to give it a reason to exist and evaluating the idea to install Windows 7 on it.So, can you use Windows 7 in these days? How much do you have to debloat it and uninstall things? And, more important, there's a way to not have it becoming a SECURITY NIGHTMARE?
>>107647565Use it offline
>>107647565yes you can use it dont listen to anyone else, everything works.
>>107647565the amount of halfwits who think Windows 11 is somehow less of a SECURITY NIGHTMARE than 7 amazes. At least with 7, you *might not* have every mouse move and key click monitored and every byte of every file schnuffled thru by Indian-coded truffle hunters.
I get that there's no "third-party security packages"?

Is it worth getting into 3d printing?it looks like a cool hobby but I don't know if people just forget about it after playing around for a month
I'm getting my first 3d printer soonI'll be getting 2 filament spools for now, what colors should I get? heard black is a must
I have both FDM and SLAimo yes they are worth it 100%FDM for cool knick knacks Resin is a gamechanger in regards to minisalso the satisfaction of having a full 2000pts army for the fraction of cost is a very good feelingEvery time I remove supports from a mini I imagine the face of a GW employee in front of me
>>107646387It is almost invisible with lighter matte filament. It's only really visible on glossy black color.>>107646312Get a resin printer. The resolution of printing is insane.
what's the cheapest decent filament to get started?
>>107647676I use polymaker mostly for pla and petg. For nylons I favor taulman alloy 910. I'd start with pla, it's easy to print and fairly durable, main downside is not good for parts that will get hot.
Anyone working in Cybersecurity lurking here who can tell me how to get a job, I have Sec+, Splunk Power User, AZ-900 and SC-200, Do I have to spam SOC/SIEM based projects on a GitHub profile and become a corporate drone on LinkedIn to get a job?
>>107647910>what you lovejackin off>what you are good atnothingwhat do
>>107647910if you can't get in via nepotism go to school and do an internship, companies love students and new grads. doesn't need to be a 4 year program even just a 2 year AS is good enough to get in.
overrated and not useful if you actually do any kind of work.

Linux is often sold as progress, but philosophically it feels like a step backward. The people who shaped the field at its best, Engelbart, Alan Kay, Licklider, were trying to make computers amplify human thought, not turn users into part time system administrators. Engelbart wanted integrated systems that helped people reason, collaborate, and build knowledge. Kay imagined the computer as a living medium, something you could understand, reshape, and learn from. Linux goes in the opposite direction. It inherits the Unix mindset where the system is a miserable little pile of loosely connected tools and the human is expected to glue them together through arcane commands and configuration files. Complexity is not reduced, it is pushed onto the user and normalized as a virtue. Instead of higher level concepts, Linux clings to decades old abstractions like everything being a file, text streams as universal interfaces, and shells as the main way to think. The result is a system no single person can fully understand, held together by conventions, folklore, and cargo cult practices. What makes this worse is the culture that formed around it. A common trait among Linux enthusiasts is a mix of resentment and shallow elitism, where struggling with the system is reframed as proof of intelligence or moral superiority. Difficulty becomes a badge of honor rather than a design failure. Many users overestimate their understanding, mastering a narrow set of commands and rituals while mistaking familiarity for depth. This Dunning–Kruger confidence feeds contempt for ordinary users and for systems that aim to be coherent and humane, as if usability were a flaw rather than the point. Instead of demanding better abstractions, the culture defends rough edges as character building. In that sense, Linux does not just fall short technically. It fosters an attitude that resists the ideals of clarity, empathy, and intellectual humility that the great figures of computing actually stood for.
>>107647505i've seen freetards make the same claim about fedora 3, 13, 23 and 33. but i'm sure it's different this time.
>>107646962 Kay imagined the computer as a living medium, something you could understand, reshape, and learn fromso Grok, ChatGPT and DeepSeek?open source LLMs are to primitive to compete with them, Dolphin Mistral just hallucinates facts. Even Grok does that sometime but with offline usable mistral it happens more often then not.
>>107646962This simply isn't true any longer. Even i, working in a third world public hospital, could see the brown nurses there using Ubuntu for their job. Linux is as easy as Windows if you stick to famous distros and use it for work only, and so long your work doesn't involve using Adobe software.
>>107646962TLDR: Pseudointellectual retardation and also OP is a faggot
>>107647980thanks. Didn't want to read all that and assumed OP was a faggot anyway.
Why does chudware always fail so hard?
>>107643428Lunduke is just another "anti-woke" commentator hate farming off other people with views different to his own.
>>107643428>>107643428>This social progressivism has a strong overlap with Marxism, which teaches that there is a struggle between an oppressor and an oppressed class, and the latter must overthrow the former by any means necessaryUnderstand how I think. I believe human brains are fundementally flawed meat machines which hallucinate epic struggles of good vs evil. I posted a video above to suggest Marxist thinking is a trap most humans fall under with babies dividing the world into a like/dislike biasWokeness isn't marxism nor is its end goal communism. Its a extreme modification of Marx where Judith Butler's gender theory, civil rights, and Frank Furt's post structuralism is merged together and going up against the preceived "white heteronormative capitalist society" They swapped Marx's proliteriat with minorities and the borgeois with white people and added additions to just "capitalist" Marx would not even recognize this ideology.>Lunduke is not a chudyes he is. He strongly supports Israel's genocide and goes out of his way to deadname trans people and likes to make up his own epic narrative about hardworking tech bros overthrowing the trans oppressors using the Trump admin's help. >big citiesGay rights started in the big cities that is where all social progress starts. The cthulu always swims left from there. Back in the 1920s in big cities had underground social clubs where gays, cross dressers and mixed race friendships would chill and play music together despite illegality.>you will see that this gender ideology is considered very radical and is unpopularComment too long.

Pic attached is what not all but a good chunk of Lunduke's side actually believes. Coding software, being nice to people and making friends alone is boring to them. It doesn't light up their brain's reward pathways. They need an epic story of ultimate good vs ultimate evil to spice up good ol boring reality. They need an outgroup to demonize. Their monkey brains have deemed trans people as the ultimate evil outgroup to villanize. For some of them, there entie worldview is based on science reality denying BS, (q-anon, climate hoax, white replacement) but you can't break them free from it. The reason its impossible to break people free from q-anon is because the q-anon conspiracy taps into insticts to protect children and human brains are built to protect children at all cost even when the danger is fantasy novel imaginary evil like q-anon. Trans people do the same psychological traps such as LARPING as anarcho communism vs nazis and hoping a neo soviet union forms and crushes their oppressors. They may see all of human history as an epic class struggle but they aren't making any progress IRL. There is no real world risk of them having a trans girl high socks cat ears communist revolution anytime soon so they and antifa aren't a high threat. Though I do admit antifa can be a limited threat when it comes to doxxing and property destruction but its not 2020 anymore and facts change. Meanwhile Trump is a real far greater threat treating hispanic American's as sub humans, rounding them up in prisons and DHS's official X account finding a very small minority of dangerous hispanic criminals and blowing them up to be the public face of all hispanics so they can strike fear into the general popular.

Being a top 1% user doesn't tell you much if they don't tell you what the range or distribution is.Also apparently I'm a .1% early user which seems elite but I get NOTHING for it.
It might mean total messages actually like an all-time leaderboard.

>>107647864That's what the bouncing bar conveys. It doesn't show progress but shows that there's activity.
>>107647890Yeah, but that's nothing compared to text. Text is way more serious business and makes people think you are an arcane genius for knowing what even 1/64th of it means.
>>107647890bouncing bars don't work in terminal, plus the v option in "tar xvf" is superior to any progress or bouncing bar
>>107647919Yes, but this is a desktop notification. I agree in a terminal you should absolutely list every single file that gets extracted. If you want that then use the God damn terminal.
