… Okay?

CPU usage is famously terrible with Electron, which i also pointed out in the comment you’re replying to. But yes, having multiple chromium instances running for each “app” is terrible

Yes, it really is that bad. 350 MBs of RAM for something that could otherwise have taken less than 100? That isn’t bad to you? And also, it’s not just RAM. It’s every resource, including CPU, which is especially bad with Electron.

I don’t really mind Electron myself because I have enough resources. But pretending the lack of optimization isn’t a real problem is just not right.

They didn’t just quadruple. They’re orders of magnitude higher these days. So content is a real thing.

But that’s not what’s actually being discussed here, memory usage these days is much more of a problem caused by bad practices rather than just content.

So we’re just going to ignore stuff like Electron, unoptimized assets, etc… Basically every other known problem… Yeah let’s just ignore all that

The people you described aren’t the ones being harassed

I think it’s very hypocritical of you to assume that and then call me out for assuming something similar. And then you call this harassment? I made an assumption based on an assumption you felt free to make. But when I make a similar assumption, that’s harassment?

If you are so confident in vegans harrassing almost-vegans who try to live without animal products, please name a single instance.

I’ve personally experienced it, both in real life and on social platforms, including lemmy. I just make it a point to try and avoid interactions like that these days. I don’t go into vegan communities despite being really enthusiastic about stuff like meat substitutes because around 50% of my interactions have been terrible. And 50% is a terrible number btw. The false equivalences, the assumptions and other issues even in this post’s comments section is kind of alarming. But yeah… Play a victim if that’s what suits you i guess.

I like the concept of veganism, but your community isn’t the best to outsiders. One day that too will change hopefully.

You’re probably exactly the type of person being described…

What vegan is out there calling non-vegans rapists?

I’ve been told that before. Not being vegan implies you support terrible breeding practices which makes you a rapist… apparently… Which is especially dumb considering nobody likes the terrible breeding practices to begin with

You could write a script to automatically watch for new files in a folder and strip metadata from every file i guess. I had done something like that for images way before.

Sounds delicious

Use it but don’t rely on it. Celeste uses rclone. The rclone support was temporarily disabled from Proton’s end a while back and also, the rclone backend still has a bunch of bugs and the developer seems to have gone missing

I installed Windows on a device yesterday. I had to switch to the command prompt and type in “OOBE\BYPASSNRO” in order to just not connect it to the internet and skip the Microsoft sign in prompt. And that seems to work for the most part. Sending diagnostic data is still required and not optional but ah well.

A few days ago on another friend’s setup, he didn’t know that this option existed (who does really), so he signed up for a Microsoft account, logged in and his Documents and other folders were automatically getting synced to OneDrive. Now, for you and me, we understand that just uninstalling OneDrive should fix that or even just disable that feature itself. But this is opt-out and not opt-in. And he doesn’t really understand it’s getting synced, he simply sees that there’s oddly increased data usage. This is the kind of person who will have recall enabled without ever realising it exists or even using it, but will still have it as a potential security issue waiting to happen on his setup.

It’s all the opt-ins that Microsoft does. Everything defaults to “yes, do that worst thing possible”. And you and me will probably switch it off, but we’re not the average person. The average person doesn’t understand or care.

Look man, irrespective of who i originally intended to reply to, you responded to me by saying I was simply blaming the user. Which clearly wasn’t the case. If you think his initial anecdote at all is realistic, then you haven’t really used any well established distro in a while. Accessing an SMB share especially is very very straightforward right now if nothing else.

Void is a distro that doesn’t use systemd. That alone would put it out of the contest, let alone being the top-rated distro… It’s fine to not understand why that is, but again, you could have just asked on any community. Again man, stop complicating stuff for yourself… And I never said you’re incompetent, you’re probably really good at this stuff, I feel like you just haven’t taken the time to read through and understand. And again, even that would be fine, just don’t blame Linux in its entirety. Linux is too broad to be blamed in its entirety.

If you go by hype alone, NixOS is probably the most popular distro right now, doesn’t mean I’m going to recommend it to you.

Use an actually well-established distribution like Fedora, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Ubuntu or Linux mint. Use Plasma if you can. Use Flatpaks for packages where possible and use the native repository otherwise. It’s pretty much that easy these days. I even use the Steam flatpak for gaming nowadays. Grass is pretty green over here now, and I’m saying that as someone who does still use Windows. I use Windows both at work and for certain games. So it’s not like I’m out of touch either.

Sorry if that post felt rage fueled by the way, didn’t mean it that way and wasn’t in rage either. I’m just bad with conveying stuff, especially with English not being my first language :)

Yeah but that’s what the guy you replied to was also saying, so you’re agreeing with him right? (Genuinely asking because I’m not sure i understand you, no ill will, i hope you understand)

So you’re agreeing with him, right?

You know, i made my dad try OnlyOffice and he loved it except for the fact that not all shortcuts worked. Years of experience with excel shortcuts didn’t translate in exactly the way he wanted. Which makes sense ig but i think that would give it away

All that said, if you have an ISP bog standard router and one network that plays nice with it, it definitely works as a keyboard and mouse remote…

Agree with what you said before this, but thankfully, this is the majority use case

Plasma 6.1 will release soon with some further improvements. But Plasma 6 with Wayland basically solved all my issues already. My setup is fractional scaling with “Apply scaling themselves” for Legacy Applications (X11) and Adaptive sync set to Automatic. Works better than my Windows setup so far

Photopea is really nice. So is Krita. I wish Affinity would make a Linux version, but i doubt they would ever do that.

DaVinci Resolve works pretty well
