It's funny, people said the exact same thing about Windows 10. It had ads and spyware. It also had Cortana, the AI garbage of its time. Consumers will never learn. Can't wait for Windows 12 to also be seen as the one where Microsoft has ruined Windows for real this time.

you don't actually have to do that. for the most part you can just run everything in the same prefix. it's what I usually do.

Hm? Wayland has VRR.

FIFO and commit timing are big for gaming. IIRC the lack of those protocols was a big reason why devs didn't want to enable Wayland support for SDL3 at first.

I've seen Linux users scream over basic transparently implemented opt-in telemetry. Something like this would absolutely not go over well were it implemented in a popular distro.

Nah, Lemmy is not really representative of the wider Windows userbase. The willingness to switch away from Windows is definitely going to be far higher in those who were willing to switch away from Reddit.

I did look it up afterwards and found out it could also be Arizona, but still wasn't sure. I figured porn sites would also be capable of mysteriously mistaking an Azerbaijani IP for a Texan IP. I also figured internationally obscure ISO 3166-2 subdivision codes were much less likely to come up than ISO 3166-1 country codes given that people are much less likely to know what they are, plus they are much more likely to overlap with each other and cause ambiguity. But it is very American to assume everyone else knows the US's subdivision codes and Lemmy probably has far more Arizonans than Azerbaijanis, so I wasn't completely sure either way.

What's AZ? Azerbaijan?

Visit about:compat. Sites already do that. Firefox can deal.

Man, this guy does not give up. Respect, honestly. Hope for the best this time.

try disabling any krunner plugins you don't need. that should make things faster.

Sketchup has always worked pretty well with Wine. It's always just been installing a couple of things with winetricks (like vc runtimes) and then it usually works fine.
