What do you expect? A company giving you stuff without getting a profit from your usage? Gmail profits by using your data. Disroot eg doesn’t get anything from your usage. They loose a small amount of money per user per time, since the serivce is really free.

Why don’t pay if you need more? If the provided features aren’t enough for you, or you need more storage, you can pay them for using more ressources. Thats very fair! And still they don’t collect your data or show ads even when you pay like Gmail. BUT paying users pay for those who can’t and rely on the free service.

To me, thats more than fair to have a 100% free service like that. Why everyone expects stuff to be free everywhere? Just because big companies lure users with cost free services but you pay with time and data? If you don’t want to pay with your time or data, you have to pay with money!

what are your requirements? i love lenovo although i might change to frameworks or system76

why even buy that slop of hardware beforehand? if you dont want that feature, you might be happier with another brands laptop

don’t say manjaro could be better.

• it works… most of the time until it doesn’t
• it looks nice … until you update something and it breaks
• it has many features… which you don’t need by default
• it can be customized easily… if you just want basics
• it is stable… until you update something

but i love it and use it daily

Ohh please tell me this was written entirely by AI without a real person with a working brain going through it

haha yes sorry! my wireless wlan had some issues with my personal pc when i was etablishing a secure ssh connection. could also be an error with my dns system or with the http protocol.

not sure about the legal side because when you install windows you accept eula and much more shit so im sure there is a sentence ‘only keys officially bought from and provided from microsoft shall be used.’

didnt know about massgrave until now. looks promising too.

you can activate any windows or office by using vlmcsd (https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd). you can selfhost it, choose any windows version like 11 pro or enterprise or office product like office 24 enterprise. activate it using your kms server and you can enter the matching licence key every so often to activate it. doesn’t cost a cent except hosting on 512mb/1cpu. i think there are public kms servers with vlmcsd too. obviously JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES ;)

ipv6 is great for public networks/ wan or extreme large nets. but for a small local net, ipv4 is so much easier if you need to access a single device. if ipv6 is parallell too, great but I hope ipv4 wont be disabled/ non existens in the future bc of this

A whole library which was meant to to 10 things, but you only use one. And that for x libraries

Thanks! I’ll buy a new one soon.

as a swiss german (we capitalize nouns for those who don’t know), I sometimes automatically capitalize nouns when writing in english, especially when I just wrote something in german. Its a habit and at least for me, its really hard to prevent me doing it.

Same is for when I wrote mucn in english before, then writing something in german. Then everything is in lowercase.

Ohh that was a good one. best one I think.

Same as having a good backup strategy but didn’t try to restore once.

there are everywhere and everytime excaptios
and yeah like instagram and whatsapp. every update makes the app worse. google assistant too

i already using many alternatives for myself. but for work and hobbies, i still need some of those google apps or social media platforms

it depends about which applications they are and how securitx affined you are. but as a normal user for most apps this is ok

I dont really use critical apps on my phone and on some important apps, i cant use them until I update them. So theres not a big risk or danger for not updating them. still there are some apps i update often but for the big all, twice a year must be enough
