I think that may have just been a cultural translation issue. I can very much believe the original Japanese text did in fact suggest to hug your printer, especially back then.

If Microsoft cared about the risk of folks staying on Windows 10, they wouldn’t be making millions of computers into e-waste because they don’t have the right TPM.
I believe the place it was banned, was on consoles.
why ask for a password.
To give the user an extra second to realise they’re doing dumb shit, and should stop?
I kind of think that’s QTs whole deal right? An abstraction layer that allows for devs to not get stuck in the weeds implementing it all manually.
How can a window manager position things if the program doesn’t communicate with it correctly?
Thank you for the history, I appreciate it. Hopefully Valve releases SteamOS properly soon, it could be the resurgence of the Steam Machine!
Disk encryption doesn’t protect against what Secure Boot does. They are very different, often complimentary, systems.
Yeah no, it makes heaps of sense. It just initially sounded to me like the person was implying the Steam Deck is Valve’s escape hatch from running the Steam store. Which would be ridiculous, the two business sectors aren’t even close to the same order of magnitude.
Huh. That’s actually a pretty good take.
What do you mean by an escape hatch. Valve have been messing with hardware and Linux for way longer than the Steam Deck.
This is why Microsoft made WSL, they knew they were losing ground big time amongst devs.
No, it doesn’t, because the cost of that software is on the business because it makes them money. This person is literally smoking crack if they think it should ever be on the employee. There is never, ever, ever a situation where an employee paying an employer is a good thing.
Yes, the word free in English both means free as in gratis, without cost, as well as free as in freedom.
Wow. I don’t think I’ve seen a dumber take than “Windows good because it prevents an Apple monopoly” in a long while.
I’d imagine there would have to be script support, as KDE runs on many distros that all have very different update flows.
I’m actually wondering if it’s not just applications. That text talks of installing drivers to devices, so I’m actually wondering if this is about better support for hardware that’s paired to specific software. The recent use-case that’s got it on my mind is Rekordbox with Pioneer DJ decks. My housemate was curious so I tried running it under WINE and it launches just fine, but it could not see the decks at all, nor the encrypted license key verification it does with it’s driver. And I did manually install the driver into the prefix first.
However, I’m not positive this is it. It’s just a hunch.
Look, owning that means you’re already doing better than 99% of people who do this :)
C’mon, that’s like, worse than not reading the article.
That wasn’t just larger subs. They changed the rules for requesting a takeover of a sub, and there are hundreds of subs it affected. There are even cases of it being really dangerous, there’s a shroom hunting sub that is poorly moderated and has had life-threatening advice left up.
