Nowadays, pretty much yes. I more or less use the command line as much as I did on windows. Of course things like installing software via the repos is more efficient via the command line, but most GUI tools will work perfectly fine for most people.

You can only pick 2 games from steam to play for the rest of your life, what games are they? (sh.itjust.works)

I have a large library of steam games, but yet always come back to Garry mod and ravensfield. I keep coming back for the modded content and every other game is excellent, don’t get me wrong. But a lot of big games like RD2 and watchdogs 2 just seem like such a long time investment. What 2 games do you infinitely come back to?

Phones

You don’t really need an 8-core CPU and 12 gigs of RAM for making calls and browsing the web, which is what 95% of people use their phones for. Not even buying such phone for the sake of longevity is worth it since most manufacturers drop support for their phones after 5 years at most.

It would be good if valve ported many of these changes like HUD scaling to their other GoldSrc games as well.

I have to say, they’re certainly an impovement over Breeze, but I still prefer the Oxygen ones

Didn’t EA shut down Origin or at least make it optional?

Technically no. EA now just calls it “The EA App”

Windows 12 is already a failure and it hasn’t even been formally announced yet. Congrats Microsoft! You’ve successfully failed for the second time in a row to deliver a windows version that most users actually like even to the slightest bit.

I guess the actual YOTLD will finally arrive after 20 years.

A laptop with fully libre firmware that actually has good specs.

They take up too much space. Considering that you need to install flatpak versions of stuff that you already have on your system, this makes 200MB applications take up like 800MB or smth.

HTTPS everywhere has been phased out since Firefox already has an HTTPS-only mode in the settings.

Firefox also has the ability to reopen closed tabs even without having to enable browsing history so you don’t need the “Undo Close Tab” extension.

As a fan of FPS games, I prefer games which have a very high amount of depth and complexity either in terms of movement or shooting. That’s the reason why I’m not a fan of arcade shooters like COD or Halo.

Mod support is also a decisive factor for me.

@owiseedoubleyou@lemmy.ml avatar

When I mean movement complexity I refer to arena shooter level of complexity and no, Halo is not an arena shooter.

The generic and uninspired look of flat design

I have mixed feelings on it.

I like the improvements Source 2 has brought as well as the map-based ranking system.

It feels kind of rushed though. Many maps and gamemodes like arms race are missing and valve seems to have removed macOS support. The increase in graphical fidelity has caused performance to drop by half at least on my old-ass PC.

I fucking hate how Americans divide politics between liberals and conservatives. The pollster could have at least given a third ‘neither’ option.

It can be used to track your movements even without internet connection.

Firefox if you take the time to harden it. You can also use librewolf which is hardened OOTB.

I only find Chromium useful for very browser-intensive things like browser games

You need to do a lot of stuff like disabling telemetry, installing addons like ublock origin as well as making a few tweaks in about:config just to name a few.

Great to see good ol’ Mandrake still going.

Jitsi, the open-source video conferencing platform, now requires a Google, Microsoft, or Facebook account for their online service (jitsi.org)

While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account....

@owiseedoubleyou@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s hypocritical to call your service “privacy friendly” and then require the use of a Google/Facebook/GitHub account to log in. I kinda understand the reason why they do this, but they could have at least allowed you to use a more private email provider.

None. I prefer reporting an issue manually.

We greeks are once again on world news for our incompetence at doing…anything.

Every year around late july and august we see the same shit. Either a disaster or a big scandal from Greece makes international headlines.
