10 was already bad enough, but of course they made it worse. It was bad primarily because of the things that they added to the end, because the actual installation was basically the same as Windows 7. Still, the end of the Windows 10 installation should be enough for someone to think "I'm not gonna use that shit" and remove it and install something else instead.
The sheer number of spyware crap that you can "disable" (yeah, right) is unbelievable, it's multiple pages full of nothing but that. I assume 11 removed that, though, because I bet that they don't even give you the option to "disable" 80 different things just to have a computing experience that at least pretends to be a bit acceptable maybe.
Windows 11, on the other hand, sounds uninstallable for anyone with any amount of self-respect. Maybe if you're paid to do it, but it better be fucking well. I would not do it even then, unless there is a pirated version that cuts all of that crap out. -

Why am I on the bottom right when I hate libertarianism? The political spectrum is bullshit and exclusively for stupid people. People that are not stupid can't be put in (almost literal) boxes created by the establishment to keep the stupid majority fighting so that no problems can ever be solved. Hell, in the 2000s, bottom right would have been put on the bottom left because nonsense is completely arbitrary, so it naturally changes arbitrarily. I have no political positions, I have positions. A position being political automatically makes it wrong. We should ban politics. Not discussing it, just the very concept of it and of politicians, from existence. We should also maybe consider banning society as well, not completely sure about that one yet. https://social.076.moe/url/88395 -

What about travel? Still requiring ze shots? If Japan isn't requiring them, then it's ahead of the US, because they have extended the requirement again until April. And when it gets there, they'll do it again. Probably forever. This is what happens when governments have emergency powers, it will be an emergency forever. -

That "word" makes me angrier than most people can imagine. I actually said a few times that it makes me want to go back in time and kill Steve Jobs before he ruined the entire tech industry forever. Some people really didn't like that. https://social.076.moe/url/76559 -

That's an easy yes. Brave is spyware, and that should have been easily assumed by absolutely everyone from the fact that they were seeing ads for it. If you see ads for something, it's a scam, guaranteed.
The best thing about LibreWolf is that it has strong defaults. Keep in mind that it doesn't keep history by default, though, you have to enable that.

I think I have seen that about GIFs in general, regardless of size. We're in the 2020s for JavaScript, people are fine with that slowing everything down, but suddenly if you use GIFs you have to pretend that we're back in 90s internet speeds.
900 KB would be a pretty big one, so you wouldn't want too many of those on every page (though you would need fucking 50 of them to get even close to the size of a bunch of websites), but it's fine. It's just like any other image, you don't want a ton of gigantic PNGs in your website either.
My mentality is that anything that was fine in the early 2000s is DEFINITELY fine now. It worked back then, and it works now, on much faster connections. If you use small GIFs, you can use a massive amount of them with no negative effect on performance.
And you can use small ones, because one thing that people don't get nowadays is that not everything has to be as big as possible. Most images don't really benefit from being in a huge resolution, and some of them, like buttons on a website, don't benefit from not being as small as possible.
You can see it in art nowadays, how there are so many pictures in really simple art styles, that have no reason to be even 1 MB in size, but are like, 5, or 10. Why does a stick figure need to be drawn in "4K"? It doesn't, it's a stick figure, it's a simple thing, it doesn't have the amount of detail that would require that.
Also, you see this in video. Why do people record videos that are mostly static images in 60 FPS? Or even 30, even that is overkill. If you are going to record a game running at 60 FPS, then record it at 60 as well, but if you're doing a tech video, then why not do 20? Or maybe even less? There's just not enough motion to justify that many frames.
And it applies to resolution as well. Have you ever noticed how people that do tech videos are constantly making their font size bigger during the video, so people can see what they're doing? Are they slow in the head? Why don't people just lower the fucking resolution?! It makes things larger, and easier to see without fullscreen, AND it makes the file sizes smaller, so it's easier to archive things, or even host them yourself!
My Libsixel video is 68.3 MB for over 27 minutes. And I don't even know how to do the best possible compression, I just did the default ffmpeg one. And the frame rate could have been lower (my gaming videos, on the other hand, are 60 FPS, but the lowest resolution that I can set X to on my system, which is 640x480). But I have downloaded videos before, that were mostly static images, that were like, a GB in size, and not even as long.
Ridiculously wasteful. And this trend of larger and larger file sizes gives corporations more power, by making things artificially harder to host! It also makes it harder for people to download things and keep them. You would think that tech people in particular would care more about efficiency, especially the MUH MEMEMALISM people. https://social.076.moe/url/74764 -

I don't know about that. They like making people think that "we're totally losing, guys, don't worry about what we're doing, Trump 2024". BUT... I can see them being in trouble, because they have been too open. You probably remember even in 2021, relatively few people know about them, and now you see them being mentioned everywhere. Now if you go to random boards on 4chan, you will see pictures of Klaus Schwab and "you vill eat ze bugs" being memed.
So, awareness of their plans has grown immensely. It's still not big enough, the aim should be as close as possible to 100% awareness and opposition, but it has indeed grown massively, to the point that people working for them may now turn against them, and they may end up being assassinated by the people that they are paying to guard them, which would be one of the better outcomes. Though really, the best outcome would be to capture some of them and drug and torture them to make them talk, and to make them confess who is above them, and then take them out as well. The Rockefellers are definitely one family, but there are many others, and most of them probably avoid the spotlight. Those families should be wiped out of existence. -

I bet that some current year soydevs would actually have the audacity to say that you shouldn't use GIFs because they slow things down. Meanwhile they use 50 MB (which is 6.25 times bigger than Super Mario 64) to get black text on a white background, on top of requiring enormous web browsers that also have no features because they were all removed, so you have to add them all back through extensions, and install more extensions to replace all the broken shit that doesn't work right. It's awful.
Speaking of games, this game does the internet better than the internet, and I don't have it, but I fucking bet that it runs better than actual websites do on actual browsers.

I looked it up, and it doesn't seem to be necessarily true. One article says that George Soros didn't attend, but apparently Klaus Schwab did. Another one says that Bill Gates never had the intention to attend, so he didn't "pull out". -

And of course, that just gets more people to question it. The fact that people are "not allowed" to question it is probably the #1 reason why they do it. Anyway, people in places like that could just say things like "of course I don't question the holocaust, it sounds like a great idea, sounds like it could take care of the problem, but manufacturing and wasting a shitload of bug spray is a very impractical way of doing it".
By the way, it's always worth reminding people that there are actually retards out there that think that Putin is going to save them from the Jews. https://social.076.moe/url/71700 -

'If anyone else does it, it's called "carpet bombing innocent civilians".'
And even in those cases, it's generally "terrorists" that they armed, that did it so that NATO could blame it on somebody else, as an excuse to invade. -

Pretty damn based. I don't know if it's possible for me to be in group chats considering the way that I communicate, though. You have seen how gigantic my posts get. That's how I communicate all the time (except in real life, where I don't communicate, because I fucking hate almost everyone that I have ever met).
Imagine trying to do that in a group chat, though, and trying to reply to multiple things at once. Not possible. Also, XMPP does have group chats as well. But IRC is the most classic and boomerpilled, for that purpose, so you can't go wrong with it. https://social.076.moe/url/67591 -

Stability is something that I heard complaints about from multiple people. Apparently the graphical package installer thing conflicts with pacman, or something? Absolutely retarded. Why not just make a GUI front-end for pacman? It's not even hard. It's not even harder, it's EASIER! Anyway, I used Arch for years and it never broke, it's very stable. Probably the most stable distribution that I have ever used along with Devuan. Least stable would be Ubuntu and everything based on it. Never actually used Manjaro, though.
The whole stability meme is basically the inverse of reality. Arch is more stable than Ubuntu, and so are even Gentoo and Funtoo (not sure if you used source-based distributions). All of these distributions "for beginners" are unstable. You can go to DistroWatch and read people's reviews of the dumb shit that happened to them. Not the case with a distribution like Devuan. And I don't remember Arch's reviews, but generally, with a popular "install your own shit" distribution like that, nothing goes wrong unless you do something stupid, because there is so little that can go wrong.
A program can break, that happens, but the system keeps working, and you generally have a good idea of what is wrong because you have installed it and set it up yourself. You don't really get the entire thing falling apart for no reason like you get on desktop environments and "beginner" distributions. People meme that distributions like that break all the time... I don't know where the fuck that comes from.
I look back at when I used Windows, and it's weird to even think about. Constant errors and crashes, and the system slowing down over time for no reason. That just doesn't happen anymore (other than the system freezing from running out of memory, which is not something that any OS handles well anyway). My systems have been stable since they have been installed, and that is probably because I only used distributions like Devuan and Arch as my daily drivers. I only really used distributions like Ubuntu to learn, on secondary computers, so they broke, but it didn't matter. -

I think I have never asked random people for help with software, ever. Though that's what I do with problems in general. Especially in real life, if solving a problem requires talking to someone, it stays unsolved until I can't tolerate it anymore, which generally doesn't happen, I just keep tolerating it. It's hell, but I still take it over actually talking to people. https://social.076.moe/url/59511 -

Yeah, which is a funny name considering that Pikachu gets boxed immediately because it's pretty much useless. The one in that cartridge was the American version, though. The only Japanese Gen 1 game I had was Green, and I think I maybe beat it, because I have memories of the post-game dungeon. Probably beat it with Mew, though, which is not legit, because I remember catching it with the glitch and seeing the original sprite, that people find disturbing. And I remember getting to that point without being able to read anything.
I probably had way more Japanese games than most people, because my games were all bootlegs. It was actually a really big positive in the case of some PS1 games, because the west removed songs with Japanese lyrics, because we can't let kids know that other cultures exist, but also muh racism. Good old fucking western hypocrisy. Also, you have probably seen videos of early dubs in video games. Truly horrendous shit. Other than Metal Gear Solid (that was really good, I guess Konami really made sure that it got done well), it was pretty much all painfully awful. -

All of my games were bootlegs other than Silver. But I was lucky, because I got a cartridge with like, 80 games (not hyperbole, I think it was 83 or 86?), and the games were all different, and it also had Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow (the American releases, so Red and Blue are both versions of what in Japan is Pokemon Blue, which is kind of a remake, so it they have the item swap glitch fixed, but not most of the rest of them, and with the Missingno glitch because they fucked up), AND it had Pokemon Green, Gold and Silver in Japanese (by the way, the version-exclusives in those were flipped in the west, for some reason). Also, saves worked normally, so I could have one save per game in that cartridge.
I had Crystal and Blue as well before that, but I actually traded for that cartridge, because it was clearly worth it, and I tested it in advance at it worked. The difference between Silver and Crystal is small enough that it didn't matter to me. Anyway, that was really big deal, because I'd get one bootleg a year, two if I was lucky. So, getting 80 games was a really fucking big deal. It had a lot of random stuff, and other than Pokemon Yellow, Gold and Silver, they were all regular Game Boy games, not Color. Some examples are Super Mario Land (only the first one, unfortunately, but of course, I played the second on emulator), Super Chinese Land (what a name), Soukoban, Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima, Spartan X, and a bunch of shit that I don't even remember the name of, and also a few truly horrendous games.
Also, I had Pokemon Jade, and your reaction to that may be "what the fuck is that?", and it's a bootleg version of the first Keitai Denjuu Telefang, with truly horrendous translation. I liked it, though. And no, the "translation" doesn't mention the word Pokemon, it only on the box and I think the intro screen (actually forgot that, I just remember the stupid creature, that I'm pretty sure is not in the game either). There's also Pokemon Diamond, it's the other version, but Jade is easier to look up for obvious reasons. It's fucked up how GameFreak stole the name from the bootleggers, they should sue. Other than that, I had another cartridge with a bunch of games, but a lot were repeats. So I had like, 100 of them, which is ironically more than rich kids get, in areas that don't have bootleg cartridges.
After that, I never got a GBA, but I did find out that I could emulate it, so I did. But I shouldn't ramble about that or this single post will be too long and I won't have time to sleep today. But I was really into Rockman.EXE and Zero, and also the Summon Night Craftsword Monogatari games (actually played through half of the second one first, in Japanese, and then Atlus released the translation for the first one shortly afterwards), maybe the only games from that franchise that I can play to this day because it's Japan only. Really good, still some of my favorite games ever.
I recommend going back to the GB. I did it myself years ago and beat a bunch of games in a short period of time. I beat I think Spartan X, Ninja Gaiden Shadow (Ninja Ryukenden GB), Rockman World 1 ~ 5 and Dragon Quest (heard that the GB version was good so I played it, because why not?), Dracula Densetsu, and maybe something else. Should do it more. Hell, I should play games more, I barely do it anymore, and when I do it, I tend to play once and forget to continue. Went from beating a bunch of games every year to beating maybe one or two. Not doing it as much makes sense, but barely doing it at all is kinda sad. https://social.076.moe/url/57578
