Where Android 16 Open Source?

Great, but when kbigscreen.

I need a decent Chromecast replacement

This posts comment section is literally

Just because you couldnt live without Meat dosent mean you cant respect some ones choice to not eat it, change my mind.

Thats what I mean, in the last few weeks/months, there was no big thing that win users needed to be able to switch.

Linux in a vacuum is a great OS, and what it cant do in the context of Windows is more a „Proprietary formats and software being Industry standard” problem than a Linux problem.

I’m not saying that everyone should just abandon the standards , but that if you need to have these standards, nothing is going to change in a production envoirment that magically makes Linux work for you (in home you can argue about VMs and proton, but that’s not a valid tactic for companies), and you need to keep using windows.

And the other way around, if you don’t need any of these standards, you don’t have any reason to still use Windows, except that you don’t want to change.

This.

For Years, you had the Option to use Linux. Since the release of the win 11 beta, Linux has not made any relevant big steps. The leopards have simply decided to eat your face this time.

A refugee would be someone losing their home in a bombing. A windows 10 turned Linux user is more like a Trump voter turned no kings protestor because he though sending the government emails will sure stop the anti trans laws.

And no, sOmE uSeRs hAvE tO uSe WinDoWs is not an argument. If everyone who was still on windows until now was reliant on it, why are they installing and switching to Linux? Every new Linux user is someone who was simply too ignorant to install it.

Theres also 1337x.

1. use a VPN, preferably mullvad

Leaches are IPs requesting data from other peers who already have their data they need

In order for a leech to request data, it must first know what IPs it can request it from. A Tracker simply tracks how many users are on the torrent and their IPs

Also a magnet link is simply a torrent file, if you remove the file part and have all the data in a long link

Are the banking apps still blocked?

Depends on the app.

You can just install Googles Camera without Gservices if you want

Ubuntu Pro is free for up to 5 machines.

Ubuntu pro Costs handing over your Data to a company.

And if the whole concept of getting extra security updates for unsupported packages really bothers you

And if it Bothers you that a company actually supports the packages it is making availible…

No, Ubuntu pro brings faster Security updates, even for still supported apps.

First 7 words:

Bill Gates just dropped a wild prediction

In other words: Insider trading.

Have you ever though about why millionaires suddenly start predicting stuff? Because they just made a multi million investment and they are looking for such trashy magazines to push their agenda.

So thanks, but no, I won’t get hyped over some words.

Mandatory disclaimer about Gamepass:

Gamepass as a model is not sustainable. It is a loss leader, and there is no way it will go like this without enshittifying.

Not only does it lock you into windows via proprietary APIs, making sure wine can never make it work, it also locks you into its subscription, by, well being a subscription.

If you do not have the money to support the creators directly, just choose the lesser evil, pay less than a third (5$) for mullvad, support one of the best VPNs, and just pirate them.

That way it works on Linux, dosent lock you into anything, and instead of supporting a Megacorp, you are supporting a good company. Still not better than supporting the devs, but better than Microsoft.

For the other 12$ you are saving up, just buy the game you liked most every 3-6 months.

That’s how I do it with RE, Rimworld, and everythibg else I play.

But about your question: if you wanna suck Microsoft dick, you can’t just have the best of both worlds.

Either you stream, or you install Win on your Steamdeck, which will tank the Performance and battery life.

collect your name, social security number, address, or other personal information.

At least where I live there are laws to collect this info. Is it not regulated in Murica?

We secure your account against SIM swaps…with modern cryptography protocols.

This just dosent make ANY sense. Sim swaps are done via social engeneering.

proprietary signaling protection

If they wanted to be private, it would be Open source.

Voicemails can hold sensitive information like 2FA codes.

Since when do people send 2fa codes via voicemail? The fuck? Just use signal.

U.S. Army and worked for Palantir.

Me smell honey

Also, they DO collect your Credit card data. Not they themselves, but Stripe. So Stripe knows every detail about you.
