Excuse you that is my emotional support Switch. It helps me feel better knowing I have the option to play if shit goes sideways, and tbf it has a couple times and those games came in handy to pass the time.

It’s like part of having a Swiss army knife or a first aid kit; if the day goes well you don’t need it but it helps way more if you have it on hand ¯*(ツ)*/¯

Vari, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Sticking with 10 for a bit, moving to Linux

Adalast,

Ditto. They are stopping support, but I highly doubt they will just brick all Windows 10 machines. If they do, I will just throw Linux on a flash drive and boot from that to recover my data ahead of switching fully to Linux.

I remember seeing a leaked paper about them putting an omnipresent advertising ticket at the top of the screen that will be displayed regardless of full screen status. The only reason I can think that they are forcing this so hard is that a lot of their forced ad servicing plans are not possible to implement in earlier versions of Windows due to root level functionality that cannot be changed. I’m guessing things like direct injection of ads in running processes or that ticker.

Ads have no place in an OS, especially not as kernel level processes. If ads on the internet have taught us anything, it is that bad actors can inject malicious code directly into them without content servers or hosts knowing and compromise untold numbers of machines who just, let me check, rendered the ad.

Between the aggressive plans for in OS advertising and the privacy abolishing actions and policies with AI datascraping, I am done with MS. Windows 10 will be the last one of theit OS’s I run. If work needs me to do something on Windows, it will be on a virtual machine that I remote into.

Dran_Arcana,

They won’t brick it, but you can bet that a lot of people are sitting on unreleased 0-days for win10. It will likely be dangerous to connect to the internet on day 1.

Adalast,

Luckily I already don’t trust the internet already and don’t go anywhere online without script blockers and I don’t open emails as a rule of thumb. I am sure it will be dangerous, but I am not relying on passive security already.

Dran_Arcana,

Every packet you send/receive relies on passive security. Your nic drivers, the driver kernel model, all of the userland applications that sit on top of it. I get that in practical terms, your firewall will do a lot of the heavy lifting but there are passive rce vulnerabilities in previous unsupported versions of Windows that are trivially exploitable today.

Nosavingthrow,

Man, I wish these people would fucking be cool. I just want to play games. There is nothing valuable on my desktop for you

Dran_Arcana,

Me too brother, but I disagree with your assessment on value

An non-blacklisted residential IP address with reasonable throughput is valuable in and of itself. DDOS botnets, proxies to bypass geo blocks or to obfuscate illicit traffic, etc. Also your gaming PC could be used for distributed compute workloads of compromised, usually crypto mining.

Any hardware/connection has value if it’s “free”. It’s just a numbers game beyond that.

Nosavingthrow,

You’ve convinced me. They want access to my connection and maybe some processing power; they DON’T want my dungeons and dragons notes.

Dran_Arcana,

When ML training farms run out of new text to train on, “they” may very well want your original writing too…

Nosavingthrow,

Mother of god. They might steal my ‘Brown’ Elemental, that eats excrement and excretes clean, potable water. It will cimb up your ass and kill you if you sleep in the sewers. They definitely are going to steal this, specially.

MehBlah,

I’m blocking addresses at the router daily. I could live with 11 if I could uninstall their garbage. I’ve tried any number of things to keep crapilot 365 off of my domain machines but I’m told I have to have the enterprise edition to do that.

Adalast,

Yeah, legislation needs passed that any software on any device purchased or leased must be removable without voiding warranties or service contracts. That would go a long way towards making phones, computers, and other devices less invasive and actually privacy protected.

Dran_Arcana,

For now, ctt winutil does a pretty good job at removing the cruft. I’ve long since switched to debian for my daily driver, but as a remote-access sunshine host for games that require kernel level anticheat, it’s surprisingly usable.

For anyone looking to keep windows around in some capacity, I strongly recommend it. github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

MehBlah,

I need something automated that I can run on each machine in the domain. I haven’t read any of the docs on this utility. Perhaps it has a way to do that.

Vari,

Plus, I just want to own my fucking computer. I shouldn’t have to go into the registry to get rid of edge.

rysiek, do wolnyinternet w Jak możemy zmodyfikować ustawę o informacji publicznej tak, żeby zobowiązać podmioty publiczne do wdrożenia przynajmniej częściowo otwartych standardów?

Proponuję pomyśleć, jak RSS itp mogą ułatwić wypełnianie zadań wynikających z UDIP. W ten sposób zamiast kija, mamy marchewkę. 😉

Na przykład:

  • udostępnienie treści poprzez kanał RSS lub Atom wypełnia obowiązek informacyjny wynikający z (cośtam cośtam).
slavistapl, (edited )

Ja stoję na stanowisku, że kanały RSS/Atom by pozwalały na większą transparentność (vide możliwość regularnego obserwowania działań organu państwowego).

Co sądzisz o ustępie 7a? Poniżej sugerowana treść:

Udostępnienie oficjalnych kanałów w standardzie RSS lub Atom dopełnia obowiązek informacyjny wynikający z ustawy o dostępie do informacji publicznej

rysiek,

Nie jestem prawnikiem, więc trudno mi powiedzieć. Warto spytać może Watchdog Polska, podpowiedzą. Generalnie mi chodzi o to, by poszukać takich rozwiązań, które spowodują, że RSS/Atom będzie wygodniejszym/szybszym/łatwiejszym/tańszym wyjściem dla podmiotów implementujących UDIP, niż inne opcje.

I mean tbf the majority of the time I use my Deck is on the train.

Taco2112,

Yeah, I use it mostly while traveling. It might come out a few times at the destination if I’m traveling for work or to my hometown but thankfully it never really comes out when I’m actually on vacation.

WolfLink,

I have a Switch I play mostly on trains and airplanes.

simple, do games w Blue Prince | Review Thread (91/100 OpenCritic)

This came out of nowhere for me. I’ve seen this game floating around in Steam’s Next Fest but I didn’t expect such glowing reviews (mostly put down by Xbox Achievement’s 6.5/10)

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t put much stock in games from unknown developers ahead of their release, but people who got access to this during the review period have been dying to get to the end of the embargo to talk about it.

SirGilles, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 6th

My wife and I have been playing a lot of Enshrouded, lately. With all the new updates, it’s just a lot of fun, though challenging at times. :)

mooncake, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?
@mooncake@lemm.ee avatar

I upgraded to Windows 11.

I tried Linux but but so much stuff isn’t supported so I got rid of it.

histic,

What other then adobe and rootkit anti cheat’s don’t work

crusa187,

For gaming, It’s mostly niche windows things in my experience. In my case I opted to stay on linux anyway. Also worth noting, I find that outside of gaming linux is superior for work and general pc use.

Some manufacturer programs for doing things like mouse macros or controlling LED lighting, auto hotkey scripts, some types of overlays tied to directx apis (yolomouse), etc. These things don’t and probably will never work. I think some of them might if you really know your stuff with wine, but that usually ends up being dependency hell for me and I give up more often than succeeding when trying to force a windows native program to run.

histic,

For the first 2 there are 3rd party programs for it the rest yea probably won’t work

crusa187,

Yeah I’m aware of openrgb, it has limited compatibility but seems to work ok for most of my stuff. Still haven’t found a great way to run my favorite corsair keyboard reactive lighting theme I had setup with their software in windows, but what I came up with in openrgb is good enough.

However, I didn’t think it was possible to run autoIt or autoHotkey at all in Linux. Are you suggesting a Python script to replace it, or something else? AHK has a very peculiar syntax which I don’t believe would translate well to other languages.

histic,

Depends if your on x11 or Wayland ahk does have a port to x11 scripts do require modification otherwise ydotool is available on Wayland I haven’t done much research into it but appears it can do a lot of what you might want

crusa187,

Hey that’s pretty cool, I happen to be on x11 still but plan to switch to Wayland once Cosmic is in beta.

This is great info, will look into this further. Ty!

Kinda why I’m not jumping to get a Steam Deck. I have a desktop, and I already know if I had the deck it would almost never get used outside my apartment anyway, since I’d never actually have time for it.

Now if I was still a kid with no responsibility and didn’t have to drive myself, it would be a different story. That story being I still wouldn’t have a deck because I wouldn’t have money and my parents wouldn’t buy it for me. 😩

frog_brawler, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I run Fedora KDE now, but I’m going to keep my Windows 10 install on Windows 10.

HexesofVexes,

How are you finding it?

frog_brawler,

No complaints about Fedora KDE specifically. I’ve had it on my spare laptop since version 30 or so. Desktop is on 41 now. The only “issues” I’ve had running this full-time is lack of support for Fidelity Active Trader Pro (which kinda sucks anyway), I haven’t been able to make my bluetooth shipping label printer work yet, and I haven’t gotten my Logi MX Keys / Master S mouse working as it works in Logi Options (on windows or mac) to switch over to my work mac as intended. Otherwise, I prefer it to other distros I’ve used.

HexesofVexes,

Thanks for the feedback - currently weighing up disros (was thinking mint, but a few folks have praised fedora KDE based distros now).

Enzy, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Gonna have to.

I don’t mind it, just using w10 for simplicity’s sake.

techognito,
@techognito@lemmy.world avatar

Upgrade to win11 or change to Linux?

Enzy,

Linux of course.

Then all I can do is welcome you and wish for you to have a nice journey

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Steam deck with dock is amazing. I picked up a dock about 6 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it.

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

My Windows 10 PC’s only function at this point is to play FFXIV in my living room, so I’m not super worried about viruses or anything.

But maybe eventually I’ll switch to Linux on that box and do that weird set-up to get FFXIV running there.

Idk I get a lot of use from my Switch Lite when I travel. When I’m home I just play on my ps5.
