You don’t need an account. De-bloating scripts take care of most other annoyances. You can fairly easily beat windows into submission

You are indeed correct

Being distracted by a live stream while cutting people off, speeding, running red lights and ignoring police roadblocks while driving a lorry from Spain through the UK to France

This is about the cosmic desktop environment, not a CPU architecture

Does it necessarily need exploits? I might be wrong, but I believe games running in wine can access any file your user can. It should still be able to delete, edit or encrypt them. Wine just translates calls, it doesn’t create a locked down container or anything iirc

Does anyone know if firewalls like OPNSense can do IPS for ads and tracking instead of “normal” intrusions like malware?

Wine might translate the windows calls to Linux depending on what the malware does

AFAIK CTT’s tool literally uses Microsoft provided tooling.

Edit: it’s the same tooling used by companies to modify their own windows installs

Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus’s winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

Sadly you won’t always have a choice. My university has disabled any non-Microsoft client support. They do this to “protect the privacy of the teachers”. Currently I’m running a windows VM on my server with Outlook to forward the emails to my personal email. Which in the end is even worse for them GDPR wise

That’s really cool! Rewriting sudo in Rust actually feels like a no brainer tbh

Markdown supports images and tables. It may depend on the rendered though. The GitHub flavour of Markdown supports this for example and I expect Latex supports it too. If existing tools don’t exist to get the height of elements you can probably make it yourself fairly easily if you you the specific font and styling the renderer uses. You’d just have to parse the file, which is basically plain text, and run the same calculations the renderer would. For which approximation might be fine depending on the use case

This is very different from docz or odt, but maybe its worth looking into converting markdown or latex to PDF with something like pandoc. Maybe that or some other more open and less complex format might help with this?

How would that be different from other countries? Would there be too many cultural similarities?

Like the other commenter said, we generally use the singular form. Though I have heard plural, usually to refer to Vlaamse frieten or Flemish fries. I believe in those cases it’s generally meant to be a fun thing to say though

It’s patat or friet in Dutch. I think it depends on region mostly?

I tend to have a harder time focusing at home compared to at work. I doubt the productivity difference is the same way for everyone

A pipe would be: cat /dev/random | tee /dev/null
