getting a real diagnose in my country means ill be stuck with a mental disability in an extremely psychophobic society with no way to treat it because all adhd meds are banned here

so my only way to cope is to talk to other people who probably have adhd as well and learn how they manage their lives

That ensures a baseline of freedom

that’s not how this works… nothing about android’s licensing could make it impossible to make it impossible to not lock it down

As advanced cruise control, yes. No, but in practice it doesn’t change a thing as humans can bomb civilians just fine themselves. Yes and yes.

If we’re not talking about LLMs which is basically computer slop made up of books and sites pretending to be a brain, using a tool for statistical analysis to analyze a shitload of data (like optical, acoustic and mechanical data to assist driving or seismic data to forecast tsunamis) is a bit of a no-brainer.

Using Russian malware to avoid Israeli malware utilizing backdoors left by American three letter orgs. Gotta love international collaboration.

like the other person said, modern windows is infinitely worse in just about every aspect of its design (you have to fight it if you just want to use your computer without microsoft 3rd wheeling it) and linux app support ranges from “ok” to “straight up doesn’t exist and cannot be ran through any shenanigans”

pirated apps

oh woes.

you’ve found quite possibly the worst source of information on the russian army besides the russian government

relatively weak sandboxing

because xorg exists, not because flatpak can’t do sandboxing well

dependencies get bundled a few times

only if there’s a need to do so. identical runtimes are shared

depends on the application developer to be available to do things like supply chain attacks

yeah as if a rogue package maintainer can’t do the same

Problem is, for any somewhat big project (like discord) updating Electron without something breaking is a nightmarishly complex venture as Electron doesn’t seem to care about backwards compatibility.

Oh my god onedrive is actually the stuff of devils

That’s the kernel apis. Those have to be stable. Userland always changes much faster.

I’m by no means a purest but I’ve found WSL… More annoying than using Linux as is. Network oddities, random programs not functioning and just generally subpar as is.

Russia isn’t prohibiting the use of VPNs but it is making it increasingly more headache inducing (protocol based blocking, ip bans of popular vpn providers).

Oh yeah, VR is currently a pain point too. Anti-cheat is an odd position tho, so I’d recommend checking out every so often.

Linux today is plug and play in almost all areas. Off the top of my head the ones that have problems are creativity (no Adobe and also wacky color management, though it’s getting a complete rework with Wayland setting it on par with macOS) and engineering (next to no support from big CADs).

No, not really. Most image formats produce completely unreadable jumbo only meant to be parsed with clever maths.

ironically enough i think microsoft (at least until very recently) has had a very lenient stance on piracy exactly because of this

piracy is the key to the consumer market in developing countries, consumer market is the key to enterprise (where the actual money lies)
