I think that’s exactly their point. Why would Valve tell users to “upgrade” to a more recent version of Windows? Tell them to upgrade to Linux

Our just play games on Linux. Wine/proton is shockingly good. I’ve never had an issue

Reaper works great on mint. Plus yabridge to use your windows plugins.

Haven’t looked much into the breach, but probably the biggest issue is passwords. If unencrypted, and a user uses the same generic password for their email or bank or whatever, that possess a serious concern.

This highlights the importance of not reusing passwords

Edit: looks like passwords were hashed with bcrypt, which is really quite excellent. Very unlikely anybody is getting actual passwords from this leak.

Your pessimism is more optimistic than my optimism

Just wanted to say I saved this comment to come back to, and I’ve been playing catrap and I’ve been really enjoying it. I like the relaxed nature of it. It’s just a puzzle with no time limit and no penalty for fucking up

there’s no way it could be worse than oreo coke

Strong agree with your first 2 points, stronger disagree with your last point. Do you seriously think a 40 year old doesn’t deserve a vote?

Adapters are a cop out. Just put the adapters in the phone. It also means you can’t charge and listen to music.

Also while there are some natively wired usb-c headphones, I can’t think of any. Any decent headphones will use a standard 3.5 or 6.5mm audio jack, and then the dac being built inwith those usb-c headphones means you can’t use a seperate dac, it means you can’t plug them into studio gear. It’s just so incredibly limiting.

There is already a universal standard (3.5mm/6.5mm jack) it carries analog audio, why change to a digital connection which requires digital to analog conversion? Why not let the user be able to have a dedicated piece of gear to do that if they wish.

No professional equipment, or even semi professional equipment uses usb-c. It’s a good old fashioned analog audio jack and it’s like that for a reason

All these people saying they like wireless earphones are completely missing the point. Devices with headphones jacks can do both. Taking away the headphone jack means you have to rely on wireless earphones, which have all the issues the post describes.

I just soft modded my old PS2 so I could boot game backups from a network share. So I’m playing Gran Turismo 3, NFS underground 2, Tony hawk’s Pro skater 4, NBA street vol. 2, and GTA: San Andreas. Basically everything and anything my teenage self loved at the time.

The fact OP posts this question tells me she’s not ready

I use my headphone jack daily. It’s nice to see there are still (albeit very few) manufacturers providing this

You don’t have to be gay to make out with your guy friends

I’d MUCH rather my tax dollars go to public transport for the masses, as opposed to embedding magnets in roads to help wealthy self-driving car owners

I miss using my old lg phones, I had the v30, v40, and v50 and they were basically perfect. Now when I shop for phones it’s like looking for the least bad option

the full screen ads for irrelevent (to you) music is one of my biggest gripes. Spotify i’ve never listened to a Taylor Swift song in my life, i don’t give a shit if she has a new album and you know that!

Microsoft urges me to use a different operating system

Totally in the same boat. Less diversity and less content, but I don’t mind that. I like that I can can run out of content and it’s a nice reminder I’ve probably been on my phone too much and should do something else with my time. Using Lemmy feels healthier than using Reddit.
