Burn it down over and over. Napalm it. Vandalize the trucks and equipment. Sabotage the shit out of it until their insurance costs just aren’t worth it.

I’ll check it out! I’m a glutton for punishment. Thanks for the suggestion.

Career software engineer here, love terminal/CLI, hate using a mouse - keyboard shortcuts are king.

Every 3-4 months I try to switch to Linux and I lose 2-3 days trying 5+ distros only to arrive back on my debloated Windows because things just. don’t. work.

Shortlist of things that don’t work at all or don’t work in a performant manner:

• RDP/ParSec/AnyDesk/RustDesk/xRDP/VNC
• Customizable window tiling managers
• Drivers - whether it’s my earbuds, my keyboard, my mouse, or other various things - at least one thing doesn’t work right
• Font / display scaling
• Teams, which I need for some jobs

I really would love to make it work, but every time I try and something comes up and I ask online about how I can address it the answer is typically, “you can’t” or “you just need to be OK without that”

FWIW my Samsung default eSIM pin was 1234.

That seems like low pay for Meta though?

FWIW, a lot of websites do pretty much the same thing. It isn’t too hard and, for the most part, doesn’t require user permission.

It does if you want full screenshot / video recording, but it doesn’t if you just track mouse movements and what is typed and virtually recreate the DOM.

I really am hoping to leave the US in the next year or so, unfortunately Japan wasn’t on my list but…maybe for that…

Dang I pay $900 for 5gbit

Alright, I’ll give this a go on a VM first. If it can solve my RDP-like issues I’ll be supremely happy - but to my knowledge, Linux just doesn’t support such a thing the way I want to use it.

I’ll test this on Ubuntu, Mint, Pop, and Debian to start but let me know if there is a distro you recommend.

Yeah…no. I leverage AI tooling daily, but I’m not about to go that far.

I love my Surface Snapdragon X. Battery life up the wazoo and I use it largely as a thin client to windows and linux systems so it lasts forever.

I did debloat it heavily though.

And someone will probably say why not install Linux on it, to which I say…for everything I use I’ve yet to find a Linux distro that works without hours of custom efforts. I work 7 days a week and don’t have time to dive down rabbit holes every day to fix shit like my mouse, or my bluetooth ear buds, or RDP, or parsec, or nomachine, or wifi.

I haven’t seen $3/gal in years, but yes, I agree, the US is so weird in so many ways. I hate this place.

I’ve seen as high as $6.79/gal here in the Portland metro area. And we aren’t even the highest in the country, I can’t fathom what it’s like in California

Have you considered that…that is the intent?

Most of America is stupid.

As an 85% windows user, this is hilarious and fuck Microsoft.

Why can’t Kash have an accident already

I keep hearing about people dropping Mullvad for port forwarding…why do y’all need port forwarding while trying to stay anonymous?
