I am mistaken an incorrect then. I’ll have to try it out one of these days.

So the matrix protocol doesnt have voice like I thought.

Do you remember if its happened in the past 2 years? A patch windows put out in 2024 is supposed to fix this.

So voice is done via a different software not matrix?

I have not seen a matrix voice channel ever in any of the servers ive seen. Also using element.

Dual booting us viable, if you’re curious its good to try linux via dual boot. Windows doesnt break the linux bootloader. The incident referencing was a bug I believe. I know plenty of people who’ve been dual booting for 2+ years keeping both OSs up to date with no issue.

it’d get stolen in 5mins.

Yeah thats game was annoyingly short. I wouldnt blame anyone for refunding it.

Below 32gb is unusable. Can’t even load rimworld

They are?

Probably like 5k over 15 yrs

Reddit is a link aggregator. Lemmy is the same and thus reposting things from anywhere on the internet is fine.

Thanks for the write up these are always good to read.

As for convincing people for the first few months on linux its best to not proselytizing to much. Once you understand the pros and cons better then proselytizing is fine. I personally find it most effective to never tell someone they should switch or make them feel bad for not using linux. I just talk about linux positively and my own experiences with it and naturally people are like oh that sounds pretty cool. I usually dont hand hold either if they want to switch I straight up say there will be software you cant run and you will have to learn how to use it. I tell them some of their games wont work and point them to protondb. They are always pleasantly surprised at how many games work. I think the privacy argument is not at all convincing for most people they just dont value it at all. the best argument I’ve found is that Linux is efficient and quick, it gets out of your way and there are cool features that the other operating systems dont have.

I cringe so hard when I see people advertise linux as faster than windows, just works no issue completely easy transition because i know linux and I know something weird will break and shatter the illusion and they will feel extra bad because all they know about linux was that it was a super good just works experience. So I act like there will be minor issues and then they can be surprised if there is none and ready if there are some.

Stop you’re scaring me

Ok I will leave it to you to do what you gotta do to fix it. Bring them in line. You’re in a country with 52 cats right now.

That would be a good place to start

Ok so make it consistent then? Doesnt seem like a problem to me.

I have a 15% vat in my country so I guess im just not used to the US not having a vat. Stupid US stop excluding tax from your prices its insanity

Thats cooked, thats the same as USD

You’re just wrong these are useful metrics not for everyone but for someone. Most companies cant use how much music you listen to but an ad agency can use it to target ads to you. A music company can use it to upsell you. A clothing company can use it to target products at you.

Bowel movements ad agency can target you with supplements, doctors can upsell, etc.

There are some people who think this is an invasion of privacy and some people who see this as an improvement as the products they’re being recommended are more accurate to things they actually want. I fall into the 1st and my sister falls into the 2nd. I thought she was crazy but it seems thats actually the majority opinion.
