Yes, I worded that too personal. Of course if you use it so much, consciously, you care about it. I'm in the same boat, and I use Linux for the same reason. What I really wanted to say: "Most people don't bother with the OS,

Seems correct to me. I feel like you’re not engaging in good faith.

Seems legit to me. Anything in particular that looks off to you?

Not entirely unlike it. It's also like the foam inserts on a product, when you take it out from its cardboard box. Not shown on every image, but here are some: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GShMjCQXkAAfy40?format=jpg

I'm personally not worried, because crap like this doesn't make it into the LSTC editions, the type of Windows that's expected to be reliable and do actual work. That'll do for my multiplayer gaming needs, and for the re

Is that why developers don't prefer Linux?
68.
by npteljes 11mo ago
The survey accounts for personal use as well. If this was the case, I'd expect the personal Linux use be higher than the professional use.

by npteljes 11mo ago
Even for personal use? If devs preferred Linux so much, I'd expect them to use it at least in their own time. But, what the stats say is that people use Win even more when it comes to personal devices, and Linux, not even a tenth of a

Yes but why waste $10-$20 on a cheap HDMI recorder, when I can create this beautiful software in two person-days of work?

>I know as devs we all would prefer to use Linux/Unix. That's not true. In the 2025 SO survey, both Windows is the most used OS for developers, for both professional and for personal use. https://survey.stackoverflow

I don't think there is an end to Windows gaming. It's the de-facto standard PC gaming platform. If there is a real end to its reign, it will be in decades, as in, at least 20 years.

The funny thing would be for Wine to then extend the WinAPI, and software beginning to use that extension.

It's a lost battle in the purist sense, but impure things can go far in real life. DRM is like my lock on the door. I'm sure it's a joke for LockpickLawyer and even a good many more people out there, but, it has successfully

I have written software to do this kind of recording on a laptop, running 4 of the stream itself (different episodes of the same show). It opened DRM enabled browsers side by side, ffmpeg captured the video from the respective parts of the

In the current times yes, you can basically record your screen with whatever tool you fancy. But even now, many video sites employ DRM, and only the weakest levels of DRM streams can be recorded off the screen. If they crank that up, which

I look at my pictures regularly. They are on my phone, mostly I scroll back 1-3 months to refresh my memory, and I often go further back to check on how living things were around me, and to what my general surrounding looked like. I also li

Yes, things are messed up, but not as much as you describe, especially on the movement level. Focusing on games alone, the GOG store has 11377 games, and you can just download, install and enjoy them, as that's their shtick. DRM free.

Just tried with my win10, msinfo32 says that secure boot is enabled.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I guess in a case like this, even trying another language can work.

That's exactly right. Looking at the Assignment Operator Wiki page, it's also clear where these notations come from. I think an easy way to look at it, for someone coming from a math background, is to think of programming lines as

Pascal also had := for assignment, if I remember correctly. I disliked it, to be honest, = is pretty much universally accepted in the IT world to mean "assign to". I don't think this is something that keeps someone from progr

Not sure how reassuring it is to you, but these computers often have a longer life on the used market, even resold multiple times. The laptops in my Hungarian household always come used, simply because they are selling here capable machines

Don’t talk to me like that. If you’ve got a real critique, say it, if you’re just insulting, stop.

I see. Unfortunately I don't have Win11 to test with.

It's not though, it's 5 bucks more expensive. Supposedly watching a "friend, colleague, or housemate" is free.

Secure Boot doesn't get in the way, I think. I had it disabled for some reason, but I enabled it to test it for you, and my Debian Linux boots just fine. I have no idea about the crypto key situation unfortunately.
