Convenience, time saved.

Yup. Go back a version of xfreerdp. Done.

sudo dnf downgrade xfreerdp (or whst ever is the name of the package)

I don’t imagine there are many alternatives?

I love it. But this part on their website has me scratching my head:

“Your purchase includes a 12-month Sailfish OS full license subscription valued at €59.88 (€4.99/month), granting access to all releases, commercial components, and feature upgrades. After the first year, you can choose to continue your subscription and support Sailfish OS development further. Even without renewal, your device will continue to function, but future software updates and commercial component upgrades will not be available.”

So does this mean they will be cutting the security updates or just feature updares? Because cutting security updates after a year is a bit of a dick move.

I get that you can always apply patches yourself but … it rubs me the wrong way.

Errr … fine. I have a bias. I didnt like fortnite. I grew up playing twitch shooters like quake and UT. The most important things that mattered back then was movement, positioning and ofcourse, aim.

Aim was a huge huge part, back then the input was as analog as it got. Nowadays I feel like raw aim has taken a step back, while still being important, It is not THE diferentiating factor any longer, especially in games like fortnite.

I’m bitter about that because my mechanical skill is still up there even as an older dude, but in todays games everyone runs circles around me, especially in games like fortnite.

I miss the arena shooters, the raw input feel of 1:1 of the analog days. But I guess I’m just another older guy screaming at a cloud.

Fortnite is to UT, like a Dacia is to a porsche.

I’ve been saying this for ages. Golf courses need to go the way of the dodo.

I get the “sport” but if you ever go over some places on google earth, they stand out like a sore thumb.

There is barely any affordable housing, but sure, lets keep our neighborhood-sized opulence “parks”, that a few rich people can take advantage of sometimes.

Get fucked by a cactus.

Ghost commander

This animation style is nice, whats it called?

What the fuck are you on about? Jesus christ, we get ragebait in here too now?

Know your usecases. Thats it. Linux isn’t hard if you do.

But no, let me recommend the jet engine service manual to my 6 year old that is learning to read. You’re going to have a bad time.

For the record, since this post and most comments irked me, arch is fine. I’m using arch on my workstation/personal rig for years. Fedora on the laptop because I need a stable work thing. Alpine VMs on the homelab because it needs light and stable.

USECASES!

I second the fedora kde spin. Been using it for years on my work laptops. Hasnt failed me yet.

Right, yeah, guess I’m in the wrong with this one.

No. The question was technical. Not political. It does not even occur to you that you can explain something without bringing in mention of the political situation, does it?

Does it do “the vpn thing” - yes or no.

Does it record your data - yes or no.

Does it log trafffic - yes or no.

Is it stable - yes or no.

Are there caveats - if yes, which?

I take issue with mentioning the curent political landscape, because it is painfully obvious why we NEED vpn solutions in this day and age. You can flame me for it all you want. I want the discussion to be relevant. Not reddit-like.

Question about vpn … but virginia is conservative and jesus has a trump tramp stamp … dude … please stop making everything about fucking politics, please. Thank you.

Hey man, I wasn’t trying to be a jerk, I was trying to make a joke. Sorry if it came off badly, probably not my best phrasing. I guess there’s a joke to be made about my jokes in there somewhere.

Truth be told, I’m salty about proton, not necessarily about what the ceo said (that too), but its like a canary in the mine, isn’t it, a portent of things to come. So many companies are bending the knee, ufortunately.

I used to pay for proton becase it saved me time and piece of mind, now since I left I have to self-host everything, because I no longer want to move my shit around every time something goes the way of enshittification. That means time and effort spent on setting up and maintaining everything. Its a chore.

Thats why I made the joke the way I did, because I’m salty, I didn’t cook it proper. You have a good one and take care out there stranger.

Congrats! From one trump kneebender right to the other. Is this a speedrun attempt?

Just flash your own.

Maybe I chose the words badly. I meant that want to live in a civilized place, i have been an expat for 10 years and I just want to put down roots with my wife. So far we have been moving with the jobs and I had enough. Thats what I meant with my colourful language.

Yeah, I know, I am in the process of leaving where I am now (eu citizen) and its between uk, germany and the netherlands. The reason I didnt look seriously at swiss, is because of all the stories I heard about people never integrating, despite efforts.

I’m looking for my forever place, that means balls deep in every aspect.
