>>107616650I've looked at Fedora and it looks like Gnome without any modifications, or am i wrong?
>>107613252modding games on linux is possible but it is 100000 times more annoying than on windowsyou will have to figure out how to run mod managers and other modding tools from the same prefix wherre the game is being ran from/installed to. then sometimes you will have to do some dll overrides. you have to look that up on the wine documentation
>>107616547GNOME is /essentially/ owned by Red Hat now (has been for a while) so Fedora.
they could be a real competitor in the pc space if they used more standard firmware or had better support for their non standard firmware.
>>107615876>>OMG Apple sucks, they're basically just selling PC hardware nowthat cost 10x more and run 10x slower
>>107616712Yeah, during the Intel era, their main draw was the software.But only until 10.9, after that, that went down the drain.Now, you buy for the hardware and tolerate modern macOS. How the turntables have turntabled.
>>107616722>Now, you buy for the hardwaredumb nigger
>>107616731Hmm, could it be that software is more optimized for Windows?No way. Not like I think you're arguing in good faith. No mentally well person keeps benchmarks like this around.
>>107616755Hmm, could it be that you shit in the street?No way. Not like I think you're arguing in good faith. No mentally well person shits in the street and regurgitates currynigger bullshit like iJeets do.
Linux is basically the child porn OS. Why would you use it for anything other than child porn?
>>107615446This thread is a sign that Linux is good enough to be a threat to MacOS & MSWinOS user baseHave a nice day :)
>>107615769That is my buisiness, and mine alone. Why don't (((you))) give use access to your devices? What are you hiding? We must know in the interest of national security.
>>107616307Ah, so you DO have CSAM on your device.
>>107616545And you're pretending that you don't?
>>107615446the OS doesn't really matter. majority of people caught with CSAM have it on their phone lmfao, they get caught because they're sending it to people on kik or instagram (yes, really).it seems everyone caught with it has zero opsec knowledge, not even basic encryption, it's just out in the open in their fucking photos folder. that means probably most people who AREN'T caught are encrypting their drives, using proxies etc. so it must be very easy to get away with it if your IQ is over 110 or so.on the other hand, a guy only recently got out of jail after being held for like 3 years because he refused to decrypt some hard drives the feds THOUGHT had CSAM on them. they had no way of knowing or proving it yet jailed him anyways to try and force him to incriminate himself.in other court cases people have been compelled to decrypt their drives. it's all legal fuckery and calculated interpretations of the law.

iPhone FoldThe iPhone Fold's inner folding screen measures 7.76" diagonally and has a resolution of 2713x1920. The cover display is 5.49" and has 1422x2088 resolution, for a very unusual aspect ratio. The iPhone Fold measures 120.6 x 83.8 x 9.6 mm when folded, and 120.6 x 167.6 x 4.8 mm when unfolded.
for the life of me I don't get the fold meme
>>107612561It's the new blackberry
>>107612561I want a phone thats a Kindle inside, e paper and shit. Not a fake tablet.
>>107612561I don't get it either, slab phones are about the perfect size right now. Any larger and I would rather be on my 14" laptop, bigger than that and I could be at my desktop.
>>107605838This still mogs the phones of today

I work at a hospital there are so many items that cost like 15k that do most simplest tasks. For example this pill counter which uses computer vision of some sort to count pills costs literally 2k to 10k.Can any anons tell me how they're getting away with such outsourcing price gouging
>>107616444
>>107616147The entire medical industry is just everyone getting scammed.>insurance companies scamming patients>doctors/hospitals scamming insurance companies>medical equipment companies scamming doctors/hospitalsEverything is overpriced to justify the high salaries that people expect in these fields.
>>107616527Why people still have insurance is beyond me.
>>107616147Reason number 5236 of why money and human dont mix. Price sensitivity decreases with absolute wealth. To much admin bloat for anyone to care.Seems like its allowed to continue as it jacks healthcare out of the affordability of many unless their provided health insurance from an employer getting their loans paid off with new loans forcing people into the wage cage
>>107616147It includes 5-10 years warranty plus guaranteed technicians on call and spare parts. Plus the manufacturer has to take liability insurance in case they get sued. Consumer grade appliances don't need to do this and most of the time, people's lives are not depending on it.

>optional progressive rendering for dial-up internet?Sometimes no, this can be helpful in situations with high latency. Imagine how annoying it would be to send a 15 MB image through i2p over Tor.Or when you're stealing internet from a public Wi-Fi using a YAGI antenna.

>>107616153You need a google account to download apps from google servers. You are not required to download them from google. And if you don't you don't need a google account.00s flip phones didn't have app stores so it doesn't even apply.If you don't want any google apps preinstalled just install an alternative android distro like GrapheneOS.
>>107616520>You need a google account to download apps from google servers.No you don't, Aurora>You are not required to download them from google. And if you don't you don't need a google account.Correct>If you don't want any google apps preinstalled just install an alternative android distro like GrapheneOS.LineageOS or even just ADBdebloating are enough for most users, no need for an OS that can only be installed on Google's hardware
>>107616548>You need a google account to download apps from google servers.>No you don't, AuroraWith aurora you are still logging into a google account. They are throwaway google accounts created by aurora (which get banned constantly because they break ToS) but that doesn't change the fact you are still logging into a google account to download apps from google servers.

>>107612849just join the easy general trackers like torrentleech and seedpoo(l) when they're open, that's good enough for most normies
>>107616522Only your download counts not the upload
>>107616325it's in the unofficial forums most places and they do open signups a few times a year
>>107616677how does that help neons?
>>107616522it's like freeleech, but you only get UL credit if you were seeding the torrent before the event started>>107616677lol
Is digital piracy (i.e. the unauthorized copying of digital files and the removal of digital copyright protection systems) morally wrong?
>>107612145Copying of drawings and statues and books etc. I don't think that was ever wrong.
>>107612145If it causes unmerited loss to somebody and/or is driven by a parasitic mindset, it is, by absolute biblical standards.Personally I don't think public archival and preservarion of old digital assets without commercial value or security backups (so long as unauthorized distribution doesn't follow) fall in such category.
Yes.
>>107612145There is so much ancient and not even that ancient content that is ONLY available by means of internet piracy. I collect 90s and early 2000s porn and there is no way to find this content other than pirating it. Another case where piracy is the only option is country blocks, especially relating to streaming music or movies or shows. In a lot of places, there aren't legit options to view the content legally. Anime and manga are a great example of this. Legit English publishers only buy the rights to a fraction of what gets released in Japanese, and for the rest of it the only avenue for reading it in English is piracy.
here's a perfect case for this what your talking about, there is this website that archived VST's it's hosted from 2005 - present there are some VST's in there with keygens for codes to unlock full versions, at the moment in time the developers might have not made money from their software, but their name definitely was made known by people spreading it. All of the big websites that just linked to the developers website when downloading are 404'd That's a problem for multiple reasons, main one is that no one can access it anymore. Locked away , lost to time. Only people able to access it are ones with files on their hard drive.This website is a very special case, at the moment it might have felt unethical to host the files. like a dagger to the back, felling wrong, but ten years later when absolutely no one is hosting the files, feels like you have a time capsule in your hands. Now scale up the idea of just VSTs to other software, movies ect... when you come across that website that is hosting it show love bro
This is not a drill, it's finally confirmed that China has a working EUV prototype since early 2025, it's just undergoing testing and verification right now, expected to enter large scale production by 2028-2030. >In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance, Reuters has learned. Completed in early 2025 and now undergoing testing, the prototype fills nearly an entire factory floor.>The availability of parts from older ASML machines on secondary markets has allowed China to build a domestic prototype, with the government setting a goal of producing working chips on the prototype by 2028, according to the two people.But those close to the project say a more realistic target is 2030, which is still years earlier than the decade that analysts believed it would take China to match the West on chips.>The breakthrough marks the culmination of a six-year government initiative to achieve semiconductor self-sufficiency, one of President Xi Jinping's highest priorities. While China's semiconductor goals have been public, the Shenzhen EUV project has been conducted in secret, according to the people.https://www.reuters.com/world/china/how-china-built-its-manhattan-project-rival-west-ai-chips-2025-12-17/
>>107594906Yeah they make six entire companies all to rip off whatever came out of Gigafactory: Shanghai thanks Elon. Also Ford makes the best EV's but nobody talks about that because everyone is a faggot who just hates Ford for no reason.>>107586506Honestly this is a brilliant masterstroke I never thought of, also paint all the CIA nuke ships in Chinese colors using a Chinese looking crew (all whites in makeup) and get good footage of that shit but not too good ofc, blame China and bully Europe and Israel to recognize it and ignore any doubts
>>107614832you do know that not knowing it only makes you more of a fucking /v/ tourist right?ywnbj btw
>>107615023>This may come as a surprise to you, but the USA is an English country. Or at least was. "European american" isn't really suitable as an indicator for anon's whiteness. What makes it even worse is the fact that iberian moors, potato niggers, balkan mystery meat, slavs, jews, welsh peasants, spaghetti niggers, gay greeks or inbred scots all fall into this european category and non of them are white. The le 56% el goblino has been a meme for a decade for a reason. >Do you have the same reaction to the far more absurd "Asian American" or "African American" labels?No, since it's pretty clear that we're talking about nondescriptive slants or niggers at that point.
it's over for USA lmao
>>107615947...what does a /v/ tourist even mean? why is it an insult? speak like a human
I don't like these new captchasIt reminds me of every time I was rejected for a job because I wasn't fast enough to finish their annoying IQ tests.
>>107582604no shot people can't solve thesemy fucking sides
By far the best captcha that we've ever had, for once nu-nu-nu-4chan does something right. Not only is it easier to do than squinting and sliding along dubious character shapes, it's also a literal IQ tests that filters sub-80iq browns. 10/10
>retarded phone poster captcha automated on day 1 by proxy niggers>being better than old keyboard captcha
>>107616291>automatedFirst I've heard of that. Didn't they just make a better UI?
They're still adding new kinds of pieces.
who else grow up to hate it or simply just not use them?sometimes adding a few more lines of codes is just much better than creating syntax spaghetti hell and yes i'm talking about C++ and Rust
>>107616674Examples faggot
