Suicide linux

So much talk, nothing to back it up. Blatant PR move.

This is good news. I want to use this post to shout out Heroic launcher.

A small team of devs (GitHub says 150 contributors, but likely only a small percentage of that consistently works on it), made a free, open-source launcher that is VASTLY better than Epic’s piece of shit.

I mean, for real, this multi-billion dollar company can’t even properly make a basic-ass piece of software. For over three years it has been a laggy mess that bombards the bottom right of my screen with ads. No significant changes or updates that have made the launcher more usable. I deadass pirate the games epic has given me for free so I don’t have to deal with their launcher.

It’s very obvious ragebait, just don’t respond, it’s what they want.

How right to repair is good for the consumer, complete lie. Daddy Tim Cook is keeping me safe with my glued in phone battery, anti-replacement display chip, Apple repair program required NDA, etc. He also bullies manufacturers into cutting off all direct-to-consumer sales of components, so that no nasty unsafe display ends up in my device. Thanks Tim, and fuck Louis! (obvious /s)

I disagree. But, if true, we have been trolled to an elite level.

Good to know, thank you.

I used Calyx for months, it’s great. Switched to GrapheneOS for some reason, I can’t remember, and haven’t had any reason to switch.

Holy shit, that is so unhinged. Multiple accounts of, what seem to me like, paranoid delusions from the GrapheneOS dev. As a user this is concerning, and I will keep an eye on it going forwadd.

Darranged, racist and borderline-transphobic Denuvo cracker who goes off on unhinged rants pretty often. Generally what she says doesn’t hold much weight.

Check the FreeMediaHeckYeah wiki, but as far as I know 1337x is still generally safe.

As someone who uses GrapheneOS, and likes Louis Rossman, this is very concerning. Could you link me to some info on this?

Don’t forget the: “I’m the greatest philosopher who ever lived” and “I use visions and astral-states to crack my games” parts

I saw this tweet a while ago that was like “Piracy lore is crazy, there’s only like 2 people who know how to crack Denuvo. One of them is a psychotic transphobe who speaks like a JRPG villain, and the other only cracks football games”

I’m paraphrasing, but honestly it’s so accurate…

Edit: For anyone confused, here is a great writeup on the history of Denuvo cracking, and Empresses lunacy

In terms of optimization, Gentoo is the best you’re gonna get, but the word “convenience” makes me hesitant to recommend it to you.

Arch is minimal, and has many resources/guides on battery optimization (Especially for ThinkPads), but if you’d like to learn something else, Void is the way to go.

If you’re looking for a tiling WM, I can wholeheartedly recommend bspwm. Lots of control and customization, but pretty easy to configure when you understand it. Just know, it might be a hard change going from stacking to tiling.

Great read, and right on the nose. Louis Rossman has a good video discussing this issue, especially Reddit’s role in all of it. Forgot the title, but its pretty recent.

The “golden days” of internet social media platforms are gone. It was fun while it lasted, but these companies were BLEEDING venture capitalist money, and at some point they have to show a profit. That time is now, and it’s ugly.

Great simplification tbh.
