  • it does not have to be realistic, it’s a game

    “So, you’ll happily pay $200 for a triple-A game with Atari graphics and not rant about using 0.001% of your recently bought 24Gb GDDR6 graphics card that cost you your kidney, right?”

    Such a bunch of losers, even they don’t know what they want. I bet they’d rant about “lack of graphical improvements” if Konami released the PS2 version with PC compatibility patches.








  • “Parabéns para a AmeriKKKa, entregou sistemas críticos na mão do deus mercado e agora virou mais um refém dele KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK”

    Agora falando sério: era meio previsível que isso podia acontecer caso o governo deixasse tudo nas mãos de uma empresa gigantesca como a Microsoft; a empresa nunca vai assinar um contrato que garanta acesso gratuito a um recurso lucrativo que ela oferece, independente de quem é o cliente. Segundo o próprio artigo, a Microsoft faturou US$ 20 bilhões somente provendo serviços de segurança pra agências federais, como diabos o governo americano espera que ela ofereça os logs “na faixa” se o faturamento está bombando com essas parcerias?

    Fora a péssima decisão de permitir que controlem 80% dos sistemas operacionais usados pelas agências. Quer dizer que se alguém achar uma vulnerabilidade critica no Windows, essa pessoa pode possivelmente comprometer comunicações sigilosas; ter acesso a arquivos ou informações de alto valor; ou em última instância, adquirir credenciais de alto nível e ser capaz de comprometer os outros 20% dos sistemas? Imagina o tamanho da merda que ia dar se isso acontecesse.

    Se bem que tamo falando do governo americano, todo castigo é pouco pra essa corja racista



  • Projects leaching on the work of companies like that, “freeing the code”.

    You mean it the other way, right? Because these companies you defend use the free labor of voluntary developers from the community, which spend hours and hours developing features, fixing bugs and what not, directly or indirectly. That’s how open source works.

    When these companies change the project license to a closed source one, they’re basically saying a big “f*** you” to the community. Forking the latest open source version of the repository is nothing more than an effort to keep things the way they were.

    huge companies will not pay a cent for Linux in the future

    Linux is FOSS, you can do whatever you want with it as long as you redistribute it without modifying the license. Android does that; every GNU/Linux distribution does that. That’s how it works.

    if a license says “you can use it for free, but need to share profits over x$”

    What you’re describing is “freeware”, what this post is discussing is " open source software". There’s a giant gap between the two.







  • Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.

    Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.

    Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.

    Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I’m a proud Proton user, some games just won’t work, like Valorant and PUBG).



  • Snapper also uses btrfs subvolumes to create snapshots, so if you did create them during your installation process, nothing to worry about.

    I don’t remember if there is a way to create them after the installation, neither if it’s a tough process tho. I used to simply reinstall when I messed up with the subvolumes.
