and has more freedom than windows but its also very secure

>comes with Amazon shit pre-installed

Lol okay

botnet from the get-go

if I ever had to install linux it would be Manjaro

The problem isn't social media. It's doing literally anything else.

like normies do anything else

Right. Everyone who's pro Linux had autism blinders on

>have problem with something on Linux
>try to find help
>literally 100% of the responses you find are:
> works fine for me!
> "You don't actually *need* that program anyway"
> just install (some other flavor of Linux, AKA start all over again)
> install these other 5 programs to work around the problem you're having! "
All of the above come with free links to broken repositories, as an added bonus

just don't be an autist and use software like normie would use it <:pepesmug:589101277879992339>

@Matthew after that .. how long it has been since you actualy used linux last time :P

but given certain weird problems arise at times

similar to "just restart your pc"

"THAT DOES NOT FIX IT YOU FUCK IT JUST MOVED THE PROBLEM"

truth to be told i have had few of those "well you are only one and this dude who never answered how he fixed it"

@Tervy how many times does one have to eat shit to decide they don't like the taste?

technicaly every 5 years iirc as your tastebuds change

but indeed

not everyones cup of tea

and linux is not free.. the cost is the time it takes to learn it

so yeah

specialy these days linux is ever closer to windows bad things thanks to systemD fuckery

>it's not that it's broken, it's that you haven't "taken the time to learn it"

<:madman:589105474226618384>

@Matthew indeed thats what many people say :/

and then refuse to try to understand the newbie in need nor teach him/her

This is like being smug about daily driving a car with 2 flat tires

good old internet

all these flavors and distributions are doing more damage than good

if there was only one and everyone was working on that it would be a lot easier

>heh, he needs "traction" and "stability" in his car. Just gut gud noob

boy, do I have a pic for you guys

keep your furry porn to yourself please

just googled this quick

>not using all the available operating systems daily
oslets

needs this

but yeah all of them have their pros and cons

>consumer Linux
>fighter jet

Linux is fake because nothing works

LOL

it doesn't have that quality control needed for fighter jet

Literally all of Linux devs are >doing it for free

@Sad have you ever used bsd

in fact it doesn't have quality control at all

linux is old cars slavs drive daily

No, and neither has anybody else @Tervy

i doubt that @Matthew

tbf those old cars are reliable af

not comfortable or even running smoothly

but won't leave you freezing in the middle of Siberia

>Linux defense squad came out in droves when I went to go make dinner reservations

not really defense tbh i hate large parts and problems of linux world too

there is just no perfect OS out there sadly

I am not defending it just saying there is a couple of advantages

<:brainlet:589104479887032330>

The advantage is having tons of free time because you won't have the capability to Do anything productive

@foxhunt and when it breaks they know how to fix them

i would jump to any ship if they fixed their shit

just a little bit of duct tape and wire

it will be a year of a linux soon

- Guys since 1999s

- Transwomen since 2010s

but to derail this: Why on earth silicone coated vermiculite fiberglass must be so fucking costly

it already is the year of the linux ||server ||

not quite

most servers run windows server

Linux. In the back end peosumer space or highly specialized space is fine

true companies run some custom oracle solution

But I literally run windows sever on my home server

And it's never had issues

Linux is cool and good

but it's not for everyone

I don't understand why people want to shill it hard or have stances on it at all

"LINUX BAD"

"LINUX GOOD"

the discussion is far broader

It's because a higher adoption of Linux will drive more developers for it

most real scientific environments use Centos

They only have gains to make if they shill Linux.

Shilling linux isn't good as it's only created fuckfests like snap and flatpak

Also if fucking valve couldn't make Linux work. No one can.

Valve *is* making linux work

They just went about it the wrong way the first time

Proton is coming along nicely, still inferior to WINE but hey

Wine's had time to age

Proton's less than 2 years old

Which hurt the image of it and is only going to make adaptation for normies harder

@Rusty people's reasons for preferring Linux are very often political rather than practical

^^^

I don't plan on opening that blocked message

What's it say

Squeeze them hard enough and they'll always, always scream MUH PRIVACY, MUH GOVERNMENT BACKDOOR

>blocking matt. Literally why.

I try browsing nsfw-lewds or this channel sometimes

and every post he makes is some incredibly forced joke

or just nothing of value

And matt is right. To truly have good opsec requires a level of autism far beyond what even the most autistic person is doing

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

There's always a tradeoff between privacy and convenience

Not anymore with the level of privacy being invaded

what

Google can figure out about who you probably are insanely fast.

Lemme find that article

Yeah

and?

I am more worried with ruskies and chink keyloggers than I am with big corporations

Even if you somehow managed to avoid Google, Facebook and Microsoft your entire life

i mean they could if they wanted but kind of proof that they dont want/cant in en masse is how inaccurate their ads are if you are not on their network

There's people around you who haven't

To have true anonymity you have to literally not know anyone who doesn't live like you do

Man. I can't find that fuckin article

No compromised hardware

no phones

no cars (at least not new ones)

or actually

no cars at all, since OBD is technically something that can be manipulated to track you along with the radio

if google already has your info, you won't mind sharing that with me? 🙂

It's a matter of acknowledging that you've already fucked up your privacy one way, but not letting them get the rest of you

or giving them more than what they absolutely need

Is giving crash logs to a developer datamining?

no

Anyway, if you don't block ads and don't have some https extension

you're not trying

if you have noscript and ublock matrix installed

you're overdoing it

Actively reducing your productive output for the sake of intangible safety gains

is just insane to me

implying any of us were ever productive on a computer

its just like firewall once you set it its there and works to that case like it should

but not everyone bothers with their firewall too so~

different strokes for different folks

isn't noscript a whitelist deal where you have to constantly update it to not break the site you're on

Yes

its just like umatrix once you set your site to work it keeps working (given site owner is not total retard and changes whole thing once a month)

Also more convenient on cancerous sites where you'd have to zap 8 elements to use it

Zap with ublock, of course

https://youtu.be/ebH57w1REgY?t=192 this remix is drugs

I just use nano adblocker (ublock origin fork)

seems to get most of the shit out of the way

Just ZOOM my shit up

>gameplay reveal
>there is no gameplay shown.

<:blobsweats:427568683003412505>

Also it looks like a fucking fortnite or something. This will salt the internet.

100 gecs is a true guilty pleasure

@Sad didn't they already make that game like 10 years ago?

It was just revealed ""gameplay"" trailer

So this is what people been waiting for 15 years

sorry wrong chat

Shut up pawp, stop being needy

Wow, gay mod can't even follow his own rules

Also I did the dumb thing and replaced my screen instead of buying a new phone

Ouch

How bad

Now any spelling mistakes are purely on me.

Meh, 105 after taxes

Could have gotten an entirely "new" phone refurbished for that price

Always had horrid luck with refurbs

mainly the battery is shit

Been loving mine.

For all of two months

literally go suckstart the grease traps

Wow.

They warranty the battery to have at least 80% of the capacity for a year, so...?

Just suggesting an alternative that worked for me, John. Don't have to be a twat about it.

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

What seller did you use?

Backmarket

The only thing they don't warranty is that it'll be waterproof, since they had to open it up to refurbish it

Ughhhhhh

Fuck employers

fuck yanwen

"To verify your identity with us we require:
- Background check
- Three forms of ID
- One form of ID witnessed by a Justice of The Peace (????????)
- Signed manual consent form"

Oi, do you have a loisence for loisence

sounds like either scam or government position

government position

I mean

government contractor

<:pepesmug:589101277879992339>

I had to do beaucoup background checks to get my job

And I'm just a vending monkey

Fun fact, I can bypass the TSA because of my government employee ID

<:pepesmug:589101277879992339>

Sweet, for the identity verification I can actually fucking give just my passport

that's it

thank u gummint

I still have to go down to the police station to file this fucking thing though

EH, as long as it's as drop safe

I need to replace screens all the time

So it's not like I take showers with my phone

Same. Get a galaxy active, I think they're only like 150 on there. Rugged little phones.

is the verification last step or first step of job application

last step

ive already signed the employment contract, etc

<:xok:641389392824369173>

nice go get that taxpayer money

straight outta hs, 43k a year and they pay for a vocational college it degree

notbad.jpg

what position

just an apprentice it consultant

since haha consulting they toss me confidentiality shit out the wazoo

AUD or USD?

aud

That's really good if essentially it's a paid internship

Get that money, you retard

Droid is a good boi

Background checks are annoying tho

I have to drive half an hour to get these fucking documents witnessed so my working rights can be confirmed

@Droidbot is it true that a Bush fire means getting from one major city to the other means circumnavigating the entire country?

Aye it's Droid-chan

nig

can’t Australia just kill their wild animals like all civilized counties did millions years ago <:pepesmug:589101277879992339>

how can you lose yo birds

To be fair, they're big birds

Man. I wish dodos were still alive.

RIP @Dodo

youre a dodo @Pawp

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

@Matthew for people in WA, yes

but WA is not a major city

Miserable cunts

Use your obscene taxes to build some roads

We built a big fucking highway

build another

can’t you just drive though middle of Australia

that map was weird

Through all that nothing? Why would you want to

Yes I want to drive through a desert

No I take a fucking flight

It's like $30 to go between states

Look at aus on Google earth. There are "towns" where the public bathroom is the only landmark

don’t you have trains?

<:brainlet:589104479887032330> <:brainlet:589104479887032330> <:brainlet:589104479887032330>

no we don't have a unified train system

each state has their own public transport system

damn, can’t you import some Chinese to build big railway?

You'd have to swap trains like 3 times

to get to WA for example

I’m just being a cunt, sorry mate

Nah it's aight

Country's fucked

There is a private train from Sydney to Perth but it's $600 a ticket EACH WAY

make a public transportation system based on kangaroos <:pepesmug:589101277879992339>

Move to a country worth a damn instead
