Anecdotally I’ve found it to be on par personally, granted haven’t played borderlands on it. Hopefully valve cues in in that specifically and finds out what they’re doing that slows it down.

Personally I’ve found it to be faster on Linux, but that’s anecdotal

I’ve seen way way way too many marketers try to fluff up https as “encrypted”. They clearly heard a keyword and they go off the walls like they’re the most secure company that ever existed. Usually just a single follow up question like “is it encrypted at rest” or “is my data encrypted with a different key than other users”, or even “does your company have the ability to decrypt it” falls flat on them.

I’m glad more people are hearing how it’s this group of standards assholes who are causing it.

We really need a hard fork, or an alternative. Android doesn’t have the same feeling it did 15 years ago, even 10. It was the open alternative, the anti-apple. Now they just want to be apple.

Okay that makes so much sense, because I knew I had calling before in Element but they wanted me to set up all this extra stuff. Is it still a thing to do the plugin?

Wait there’s a jitsi plugin?

Exactly, there’s a saying that when you’re in a field you assume everyone else must know about your field too, and people just don’t. Not just the grandma’s either, but everyday people: friends, family, coworkers, people just want their tech to work. They need to know that they’ll be able to “use office” even if it’s a different program and “check their email” even if it means installing chrome at first.

Element on Matrix is the only one I’m aware of - but it’s not the easiest to set up. I would try creating an account on matrix.org’s server just temporarily to try it out and see if it fits what you’re looking for. I like the decentralized nature of it, but the support is very piecemeal, and onboarding people essentially needs a class.

Agree there, pushing that everyone is using it. I have found with family that using phrasing like “It’s similar to ChromeOS”, which… it isn’t really - but it helps their brains adjust. Like “Okay it’ll be different, but yeah I used ChromeOS and it was fine”

This is a good callout. I’m not sure how much of the video will be “There are alternatives available” vs “Try linux!”, but if we get into Try linux directly I want people to know that yes it works completely

Thought is good, but if life has taught me anything it’s that it’s only a matter of time until someone new takes over and uses it for their nefarious purposes. Forcing it is never a good option, it should be opt in

Love it, that sort of mission statement is exactly what I’m looking for!

Done and done! Found a couple articles about that!

Great idea! I have a local place that does that near me!

The amount of people who treat work devices like their own is insane. When work is over my laptop is shutdown and closed. There’s no need for it to be on at all until I start working again. In a way I kind of get the corpo ITs reasoning why they’d want this, people messaging their friends and families from the same devices that have company secrets on them

Holy setup batman. Was thinking it was going to be another container I spin up, but it’s enabling kernel modules, needs IOMMU, needs a ton of setup and then it looks like you still have to compile it? For now at least that’s above my needs

I’ll send it back to you then, do you have any non-LTT sources that show that it was fake allegations?

Honestly think finally found common ground, and I appreciate the thought out response here. This is the sort of discussion and comment I want to see more of here on Lemmy, thought out good discussion instead of “He’s literally hitler”. That’s really the point I was trying to make, I don’t care about Bill Gates, what I am tired of is everyone demonizing everyone else in the comments and us devolving into reddit comment sections. We’ve been better than Reddit in our comments until recently.

And ad hominem attacks are empty and hollow to me.

The fact that you don’t get the nuance that I’m trying to show and going right to comparing to literally Hitler is exactly my point. That’s not discussion, it’s quite literally the Moral Equivalence fallacy. There have been a few good comments here that made me stop and think, actual discussion, weighing pros and cons. Jumping right to Hitler was not one of them.
