Genau das ist falsch!

Wenn man von z.B. Adobe-Produkten "abhängig" ist, führt an Windows kein Weg vorbei.

Nein, #macOS macht das ganze einfacher und besser. Selbst nen fucking #Hackintosh ist stabiler als #Windows!

Und wenn es an Spiele mit Anti-Cheat-Software geht, geht es auch nicht ohne Windows.

Einfach nicht kaufen! Wer #Malware will muss halt damit leben. Und ja, #ClientSideAnticheat ist Malware genauso wie #DRM!

Und auch ich habe trotz meiner Affinität und Vorkenntnis nicht auf Anhieb bei Mint oder Manjaro alles sofort zum Laufen bekommen.

Was eher Herstellern wie #nvidia liegt denn Usern, und das ist eher Ausnahme denn Regel!

Wer einfach nur den PC nutzen will, dem ist das alles zu lästig.

Nein, die neisten sind einfach #TechIlliterate-#Konsumopfer die zur #Windows-#Enshittification groomed wurden!

I.d.R. ist denen das sogar absolut shiceegal was denen vorgesetzt wird, weil denen gehts um ne glorifizierte NSAbook, ShitExpress/eNay/Aperzon, YouNuke-Kiste mit eMail-Zugriff!

Ja, Linux hat enorme Fortschritte gemacht, ist aber immer noch nicht für jeden.

Ja, aber ich würde eher krepieren als die Redmonder Govware jemals anzufassen! Die hat 15 Lebensjahre von mir verschwendet!!!

Allen anderen helfe ich professionell wegzumigrieren!

@wolf480pl @cas it's easy...

The reasons one can despise something and the reason one appreciates it can be different.

I.e. I can appreciate #macOS for it's #accessibility right from the #installer but I can #despise it for #Apple not selling it as a commercial #Unix distro for a #subscription

Same with #bash: I can appreciate it for being better than #sh (unix-#shell) , #tcsh or #csh but I despise it for not having modernized like #fish.

• And with fish I appreciate it but I despise it's not the default #shell for any #Linux distro I can use in #production.

It's called having "mixed feelings" or rather #NuancedOpinion.

• Kinda like how every #skiddie and #TechIlliterate can use #Windows but that Windows is shit and the only reason they can is because they got groomed into being #consoomers that accept #enshittification as a fact of life.

@stevenaleach @hannah The problem is that #Microsoft pays the big #OEM|s $25 per preinstall and #TechIlliterate #Consoomers and #Normies don't know better...

• It's the same with #Adobe #Acrobat: EVERY SINGLE #PDF READER IS BETTER - INCLUDING pdf.js on #InternetExplorer!

@squads no they ain't - they are #WastefulComputing at best if not #exploitation with #clickworkers who have no other means to make ends meet!

• Stop shilling #garbage that only #TechBros who have 0 skills beyond swaying even more #TechIlliterate #VCs into burning money get excited about!

@karl_ist_super weil die meisten "#Normies" einfach nur #TechIlliterate #KonsumOpfer sind, denen alles shiceegal ist.

• Dieselben Leute wählen auch #CDU / #CSU & #NSAfD und sind entweder altersbedingt oder aus Verfassungsfeindlichkeit #Letztwähler die sich zumindest innerlich von #Grundgesetz & #FDGO "abgemeldet" haben!

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Maybe had #Mozilla actually cared they could've convinced #Nokia to do #FirefoxOS and we'd not have the shitty #Duopoly of today, but as we all know the decisions were made by #TechIlliterate suits that are just #HornyForMoney"…

@empathicqubit @crazy_pony @signalapp @monocles @delta

I disagree, because the few steps needed can be taught to literal #TechIlliterates within minutes, and I did so several times, walking them through.

• We as #TechLiterates are responsible to teach #TechLiteracy to #TechIlliterate "#Normies", or we deserve then damnation through our own hubris!

@ryanc @kajer @cR0w this sounds like some #TechIlliterate demanded something because an intern can't do #DNS and just give you an #FQDN instead...

@f @ai6yr @briankrebs I think it's less of a "#political" question but an act of #SelfDefense and #MutualDefense at this point.

• So far @torproject / #TorBrowser set to highest security settings is the most secure option that has proper maintenance & track record and ain't a #TUI-only app like #LynxBrowser.

Re: #TechIlliterates that are unwilling to learn, act like a "#BenevolentDictator" and enshure they can't harm themselves in the sense that they don't get #sudo or other administrative privilegues and can't do any #persistent #changes.

• And if that means they get forced to use #Tails then that's a "necessary evil"...

After all, societies almost everywhere ban people from driving motor vehicles faster than 6 km/h by people who actively refuse to even take basic exams and classes for a #DrivingLicense.

• And I'm convinced one can do more damage as #TechIlliterate with a #PC than a single-cylinger two-stroke engine driven motorcycle...

@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

@lauren I disagree as @signalapp requires a #PhoneNumber = #PII & cost barrier and they restrict access based off #PhoneNumbers.

• Plus it's illegal in an increasing number if juristictions to gmeven attempt to acquire a phone number or SIM anonymously.

Whereas it's so easy and fast to get #TechIlliterates setup with #XMPP+#OMEMO (which uninke #Signal doesn't demand PII!) that I'd challenge you to a #speedrun with step-by-step documentation for every #TechIlliterate to follow along to setup Signal from scratch vs. me doing #XMPP+#OMEMO on @monocles @gajim.

• Cuz I did that on @cryptoparty / #CryptoParty / #CryptoParties quite often.

Also #Signal being #centralized makes it as vulnerable as any other #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution!

• Whereas even if #monocles were to shutdown, one could easily switch over to any other provider or #SelfHosting.

I'd not count on the #Trump-Regime not flexing #CloudAct against anyone they deem undesireable!

@tauon Actually, you want to use a truly secure as in real #E2EE solution like #XMPP+#OMEMO as in @monocles / #monoclesChat and @gajim /#gajim...

• And for those "#TechIlliterate #Normies / #Consoomers" that are too scared to #degoogle or even use @fdroidorg they have a #GlobalSwitchDay #promo right now:https://monocles.social/@monocles/113925173206088469

@bagder Problem with that is (besides occasional bugfixes), most people including myself would see #curl to be functionally complete and anything "nice to have" would be considered not worth the balooning in #complexity and #size.

• I mean, does curl need to be able to do #BitTorrent (magnet:), #IPFS (ipfs://) or god forbid #blockchain (i.e. #EVM) support?

• Do you really want to integrate @torproject / #Tor support natively into curl when using #HTTP (localhost:8118) and #SOCKS5 (localhost:9050) #proxy allows for the same and doesn't necessitate having to handle and ingest Tor arguments as well??

In fact if #toybox didn't have a #wget implementation that I could use for OS/1337 I would've merely chosen tiny-curl -o as a global alias or if #tinycurl wasn't an option, curl -o instead.

• Maybe someone who wants to have said functionality like tor support built-in will go and IDK make i.e. #neocurl or sth. along those lines or build something like #ethcurl or #torcurlor #ipfscurl or whatever...

That being said I am glad curl isn't solely maintained by you but has other contributors (give them a shoutout!) but I also am glad you maintain that vital software that most "#TechIlliterate #Normies" most likely never heard of but propably use on a daily basis as part of all the #tech they use to #consume media with...

• I consider curl to be "the #vim of downloaders" (tho that's kinda insulting and limiting since curl is more than just a downloader and more intuitive than vim) with wget being "the #vi of downloaders" (tho wget is even simpler to use than vi)...

Either way, curl is awesome...

@megmac excellent.choice if #secrity is first priority by a long shot.

• Tho granted #OpenBSD is pretty underwheling as a #Desktop and whilst I could force myself to do that, I'm confident most "#TechIlliterate Normies" would give me the finger within 15 seconds...

But for a #Server that needs to be secure yet accessible on the public internet it's good.

• Espechally if one wants to frustrate #Skiddies and State-sponsored attackers at the same time!

@nixCraft #Funfsct: some #TechIlliterate dipshit wearing a talar most likely things this is "#hacking" or some bs.
