If only the user has the key then there’s no real concern with the data being handed over

Sure, but tracking period data can be very helpful for people. For a threat model of abortion criminalisation (or maybe trans healthcare criminalisation with treatments stopping periods, or really any kind of restrictions on medical autonomy), encryption at rest of locally stored period data is perfectly sufficient. They are not going to send military intelligence agencies after a random person having an abortion. It is actually a relatively low threat model, like equivalent to buying drugs online or something like that.

Even if they owned the whole LF, the Linux Foundation does not develop systemd lol

Maybe your partner is giving birth through sperm donor, you don’t have to have had sex

I don’t think the bottom of the meme suggests that dropping support for old versions is inherently bad. It’s part of a larger image; in combination with the other screenshots it suggests people being forced to have Recall/other Win11 enshittification.

Fuuuuck there goes my plan to get this monkey to write Hamlet within the lifetime of the universe…

Out of curiosity what’s your use case for dual booting? I know it’s a common choice for new Linux users and I did it too out of fear that I’d be missing something I need Windows for, but I’ve been completely Windows-free for a while and much happier for it. When I did have a Windows partition I never booted into it.

For games, Steam’s Proton works pretty well for most games these days. You can check https://www.protondb.com/ to see if your game works well with Proton.

I’ve also had good experiences with Wine for productivity software. Similarly, you can check https://appdb.winehq.org/ to see how well your program runs on Wine.

Worst case scenario, if you have a decent enough PC, you can always run a Windows VM and that should run more or less anything.

And all of these avoid any trouble with Windows eating your grub install etc

I don’t think the issue is dropping support, but the ridiculous requirements to upgrade to Win11, plus the fact that more recent Windows have serious enshittification that means users don’t want to upgrade in the first place.

Anna’s Archive has some torrents they ask people to seed. I’m seeding a smaller one right now. You can look into that if you want to help out—nobody’s expected to mirror the entire archive!

If they were publicising those videos that sounds illegal to me. If I printed off a copyrighted book for my own personal use, that would be legal. If I started distributing my own reprints of a copyrighted book without permission, the copyright holder could go after me. The businesses can hold copyrighted material without distributing them and not be in breach of the law.

Calling making a subreddit private “harming redditors and Reddit” is insane

Sorry to hear about your ankle. When you’re able to, I’d also like to know what the add-on is

And yet I can’t beat the CAPTCHAs because reCAPTCHA doesn’t like VPNs lol

I never claimed I was trying to “sway over newbies”? Do what you want, this is just my personal preference.

Artix repos > Arch repos > existing AUR package > create my own AUR package

No need to use any of these flatpak/appimage/snaps when I can just make a package for my distro. Most software is not difficult to package.

Again, why use Windows at that point?

At that point please just use another OS. You should be keeping your OS up to date.

I really don’t like the trend of things that should be articles, being videos instead. And I’m very unlikely to watch one of these videos. However, this is a personal preference and I don’t necessarily think videos should be banned from this community. Instead upvotes/downvotes could decide that; if no one wants to see videos, no one should upvote them.
