You can install Tiny11 as your base Windows OS https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder then use a debloat like the ones linked in this thread or this one https://winutil.christitus.com/
I made that on my gaming PC (I use tons of non Linux compatible stuff for flight simming) and zero problems. It’s even riced to not look like Windows DE and act like i3wm.
Officially it is Meta. Facebook is owned by Meta but the Quest headset is not a Facebook product. I get it, it’s easier to say Facebook for everything owned by Zuk, like saying Google for Youtube instead of Alphabet.
But it is not precise nor true and plenty of comments here are saying “just leave Facebook” while OP did not post about Facebook nor having a social media account there.
And TBH, I think all VR headset are kinda ugly, it’s either big rectangle brick on your head or big round brick on your head.
Because it is not a post about Facebook but about the VR Headset Quest 2 and/or 3.
Sadly, the Meta Quest is kind of the best deal in the PC VR world.
Yeah, but Xplane 12 does work natively and perfectly on Linux and MacOS. So there’s that.
But I guess if you start adding several joysticks (minimum of 3 for an aircraft, joystick or yoke, rudder, throttle quadrant) with assorted softwares it becomes a bit of a headache and most probably it won’t be 3 joysticks from the same vendor.
And today we have the Chinese winwings that makes full glareshield and mcdu at acceptable prices https://eu.winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=925 so that’s another software to configure.
And all of that is only for one aircraft type (Airbus in my example) 😅
I am so yes it’s probably why.
The iso from massgrave was made with Rufus that can disable the unnecessary requirements and force creation of a local account instead of windows live 🖕
Then activated and lightly debloated with powershell. That makes windows usable for what I need it to, just launching games.
Everything else is done on a minisforum Linux or framework Linux (even sometimes gaming on it when I’m not at home).
I am 99% Tumbleweed except my gaming PC which is still on Win11 (but I haven’t seen any bloat on it, no ads in winkey menu etc).
I am a huge flight simmer and, besides Xplane, MSFS has Microsoft in its name but the problem is more about the tons of tools around the simulator rather than the sim (aircraft, peripherals, maps&nav, ATC, job manager etc). MSFS do run on proton, but plenty of background tools don’t 😔
Half of those are Norman Reedus in Death Stranding 2.
If I remember correctly it was for the structural organization. Creating channels and topics, marking them done and stuff like that.
A kind of open Slack, more designed for projects or companies organized comms rather than just chatting.
Yep, I didn’t join as I am only there for the general shit talking and not participating in any constructive or useful conversations (it’s a way of life) but Camus, Snoopy, Anansi, THE meerkat and probably others are participating with you on the piefed zulip and codeberg.
The jlailu matrix is still open but inactive and left to slowly wither and die, every sidebars are now linked to the zulip server instead of matrix.
Dunno I am not administrating it so I didn’t checked. We got the sponsorship tiers as a lemmy/piefed instance is an open source project https://zulip.com/help/self-hosted-billing#free-community-plan
I believe Rimu (piefed dev) also got the sponsorship.
We moved our instance Matrix to Zulip. It is much better now and makes peoples talk way more than on Matrix.
Yeah, there’s been an article shared on lemmy a few months ago about couples or families destroyed by AI.
Like the husband thinks he discovered some new truth, kinda religious level about how the world is working and stuff. The he becomes an annoying guru and ruins his social life.
Kind of Qanon people but with chatGPT…
You can easily feel right at home on a Mac with console, homebrew, tiling WM etc. You can find scripts for plenty of things on GitHub.
Before I switched to framework 13, my old MacBook looked and felt like old gnome (with the two taskbars) mixed with i3.
The hardware is good, specially those M* chips, one downside is that with certain languages the keyboard shortcuts are not the same, specially for coding, characters like {[|}] are sometimes annoying to find compared to Linux/Windows keyboard.
In French sorry, but it should be easy to auto translate
Or the paywall TDG with an article that says: Proton ready to quit Geneva if the confederation goes through its plan
TLDR: The Federal Council (aka Bern) wants to add a category for services like Proton and Threema in its surveillance law. They want to modernize this law to include newer forms of communication, possibly giving themselves more power over it to request data if they deem it necessary (opposite to today where they need a court order and companies can go to court to fight and refuse to give the data).
a lot of savings
Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.
So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.
Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?
I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.
My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.
That would cost them enormous amounts of cash and hours of work just for one market.
There’s no point, the best option is just to ignore the US and let them pay more than the rest of the world, even if that means fewer sales.
Also, air traffic controller here with most of my mates being airliners pilots.
We are all tired and alcoholic, it’s even worse among the ground staff at airports.
Good luck on your next holiday 😘
Yeah ok… Clean them like any normal logical human being, aka by using common sense and stuff you already have at home. Or buy those non necessary cleaning kits!
Thanks wired.
Amen brother.
I’ll buy a 13’’ iPad Pro right now if it could do all those “non-mobile OS” things for a perfect small productivity machine.
Hell, I’ll even buy the official pen, keyboard and the non-existent docking station for office use.
From the git above, it downloads an official MS iso and debloat it to create a lighter one. It’s the same as installing a normal iso and then removing stuff like one note etc, except that those are not installed by default so no need to remove them.
Specialized software from laptop brands (asus or whatever) are useless shits. You only need the drivers and an OS.
