You're not wrong about defense however there is a huge caveat. From what I'm told, when a company in defense (in the US) uses FOSS they must sign a waiver saying that they will be responsible for all updates and vulnerabilities discovered with said library. This also means that if the library stops being maintained, the company is responsible for maintaining the library.

I know that the reason why RHEL is preferred over Ubuntu or other distros is the fact RHEL has a paid license and provides regular updates to even "dead" or EoL libraries and packages.

Having said that, I wish more companies would take that dive. I've been in situations where the company would not sign a waiver so we had to essentially re-create a functionality that a FOSS library already provides.

Right now Guild Wars 2 and the Yakuza series. Friends and I also try to get in a few rounds of Brawlhalla every few days.

My parents and I were just talking about this. We're all in agreement that the moment that diamond goes back to India (or any country in SEA), it will "disappear" and never seen again.

I think Zuckerverse has shown that privacy doesn't exist in it. They could implement e2e but it'll be implemented in a way to so they can still sell away your privacy.

I've tried Ubuntu, fedora and regolith-linux

Regolith-linux was the easiest to set up for hdpi and best solution for me. Fedora used to be decent but the fractional scaling just doesn't work.

I was always looking for a mentor. I joined a website for LoL that wanted to update it's website to a modern framework. Initially there were 2 senior web devs and about 3 "junior" devs.

After about 3 months of learning react and picking the seniors brain about web dev, they stepped away due to IRL things. So I volunteered to step up as a lead.

I had maybe 3 months of total web dev experience. But stepping up as a lead forced me to learn quicker, and having junior ask me questions helped me learn quicker as well. For example I could always just give them a stack overflow link, but that's no use because they probably did and didn't understand it. So I tried to break it down for them which meant I had to learn the concept to explain it to them.

People like me are stuck. Not like we can return the TV's after years of owning them.

It's not.

For example when pausing a Hulu stream on my Samsung TV....I'll get an ad for random crap (sometimes for things placed in a show) ok my pause screen.

Samsung TVs are basically giant billboard you pay to have in your home.

Have you given a look into Nextcloud?

I've been running it on my own server and been having a great time with it. I haven't done any massive file syncs or anything. But been syncing Joplin, recipes and documents without issues with it.

15 is my sweet spot. Anything smaller makes doesn't have enough real estate and anything bigger is unwieldy.

The other thing I look for is centered keyboard without numpad. I can't stand laptops with the home row offset to the left because of the numpad.

Vanguard, riots anti-cheat, was one of the worst kernel anti-cheats system I had the displeasure if being forced to use.

My buddies started to play Valorant and they asked me to give it a try. I downloaded and installed it.

First major issue: Must start on boot and has to be running at all times. If you close it, you have to reboot the entire machine to play Valorant.

Second issue: (This has been fixed) All my VMs stopped working. I couldn't start any of them in my VMware Workstation.

Uninstalled Vanguard and Valorant shortly after. There should no reason an anti-cheats needs to run on boot.

Wasn't this a plot in a show or movie?
