  • No, that’s just not true, I moved from ml to world because I made one fucking comment about Russia being a right-wing authoritarian country and some asshole followed me to every thread calling me a capitalist pig, even on shit like dog photos and memes. There’s no getting Lemmy to critical mass while ml is the flagship.

    Edit: Yes, I know I could’ve also made a new account on ml to shake them off, but at that point it became a question about the ethics of indirectly supporting the people there.













  • Outside of specific implementations like Tor’s snowflake protocol, it’s very easy for internet providers to see who’s using a VPN, the only thing it buys you is privacy at the other end (so they’ll know you’re using a VPN, just not know what you’re using the VPN to look at, hence why their panties are in a twist).







  • I jumped in to the Win11 beta and really liked it, they finally got most of the control panel into the new settings architecture and I never once had to dig deep into things to adjust something small, a lot of stuff that took finagling just worked.

    And now I fucking hate it. The release version is jammed so full of bullshit features and useless AI junk that it is an active hindrance to whatever I’m trying to do. And more and more stupid fucking bugs bubble up in to the desktop and never get addressed, all while I get pop up after pop up urging me to try some bullshit new feature.

    I already had one foot into Linux with my desktop but kept this because it was a Surface and nice at some point, but my next buy has to be a Linux 2-in-1, I can’t deal with Microsoft’s horseshit any longer.

    I do want to emphasize that for the moments that it was unadulterated by rent-seeking, the new Win11 actually was kinda great.
