I think UBO makes it redundant.

Feel bad for the average Joe over there.

The irony of using an advice animal is so fitting; well done.

I’ve tried playing through AW2 as it was a GOTY contender, but I just… don’t like horror games. I managed to get a bit further by lowering the difficulty, but I still wasn’t liking the spoopy stuff.

I’ll manage one day…

I’ve said for a while that platforms that allow you to easily move make me more comfortable using them, and ironically, more likely to stay around.

Abatoire opens stall at vegan convention.

Really they need to work on power usage and temperature of x86 so the chips are easier to use in mobile devices without a fan and dying in 3 hours. Stationary devices seem to be chugging along with x86 comfortably, but the chips are currently impractical otherwise.

Is it much different to something like Pop_OS? I usually hear of Bazzite as a third-party ROG Ally OS.

With anti-cheat being one of the major things causing games to be Windows dependant, that is hilarious.

I’m just happy I only need to use it on one PC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gonna get to enjoy some reg edits on that machine then!

Edit: So I just looked at that machine that is set to take all new updates, and it doesn’t look to be installed like it is for that guy in the video. However, it looks like this machine hasn’t picked up 24H2 yet, which is strange as I thought it was meant to be worldwide now?

MS really can’t make stuff easy.

On my Windows 11 machine I just uninstalled Copilot via the normal app uninstall process. Unless I’m misunderstanding, I don’t think it’s tied into the OS in any fundamental way. I assume most debloating scripts include the step anyway.

Kinda crap that it’s installed by default though.

I’ve installed it on a Chimera machine also via Decky so I don’t think it’s distro specific.

I always feel like an old granny when I read about passkeys because I’ve never used one, and I’m worried I’ll just lock myself out of an account. I know I probably wouldn’t, but new things are scary.

Are they normally used as a login option or do they completely replace MFA codes? I know how those work; I’m covered with that.

One of my mates has been pinged for it before, but it seems like he just got a stern letter.

I put my setup behind a VPN anyway. Proton hasn’t done me wrong yet.

“They have to get rid of it unless they decide not to.”

I assume it’s just gonna be inherited by Mauritius.

Yeah it’s a pretty shite situation all around. Will be interesting to follow the US DOJ ruling on the split-up of Google.

Well, when there’s only really 2 friends available, and the other options are just those guys in different hats…

But I don’t see any reason why they “wouldn’t be able” to have a deal anymore.

It’s this part of the article that stuck out to me:

the DOJ suggested limiting or prohibiting default agreements and “other revenue-sharing arrangements related to search and search-related products.” That would include Google’s search position agreements with Apple’s iPhone and Samsung devices — deals that cost the company billions of dollars a year in payouts. The agency suggested one way to do this is requiring a “choice screen,” which could allow users to pick from other search engines.

Any guesses on how this would affect Android and Firefox?

I’m not 100% on how the Android business works so I’m not sure how important Goggle’s involvement is.

Firefox relies on Google’s ‘default search engine’ bribe quite a lot, and they might not be able to offer that anymore(?)
