Yeah, same. I have literally zero use for it outside tinkering, and knowing myself, I’ll play with it for a couple of days, then forget it in a drawer, rinse and repeat every handful of months. It’s just expensive enough that it feels pretty wasteful to do so lol

The Docker engine itself, meaning the dockerd daemon, its APIs and the docker CLI, are all under Apache 2.0. The non-free parts are mostly in their Docker Desktop offering, which is mostly a convenience GUI and not absolutely necessary (the easiest, on Windows and macOS, probably, but not the only one) to run Docker on most platforms.

End-users just see “huh, X distro doesn’t have Y app”. Application availability is a major component of adoption of a platform.

They’re a sort of half-assed version of static linking where you get few of the benefits of either, and most of the downsides of both.

I’m… very curious as to what you mean by this take.

People answering your comment seem to be skipping the question mark lol

Hmm, Cloudflare themselves seem to say it’s not.

What WARP Is Not

From a technical perspective, WARP is a VPN. But it is designed for a very different audience than a traditional VPN. WARP is not designed to allow you to access geo-restricted content when you’re traveling. It will not hide your IP address from the websites you visit. If you’re looking for that kind of high-security protection then a traditional VPN or a service like Tor are likely better choices for you.

Which is exactly my point. Not all VPN companies are trustworthy (I’d say most are not, tbh). You’re still stuck trusting some third-party. The problem lies elsewhere. VPNs are a band aid.

Yeah, fair enough. My point still stands though: VPNs are a mere band-aid to the underlying issue, not a solution. You’re merely shifting your trust from your ISP to another company, not fixing the problem.

That’s DNS

Free VPNs should be avoided at all costs for many reasons, and the alternatives are an additional service to pay for, to fix another service you already pay for too that doesn’t work the way it should work in the first place.

I don’t see what’s ineffectual about the complaints. Of course people will, and should, complain. Loudly.

Funny how they ask us to go to the office but keep building their offices where none of their employees can afford to live

But how would they detect that watermark being recorded by a complete separate process or hardware output?

I don’t know how they’d know unless they could read your computer’s process list or something like that… And even then, how would they know if a process is recording or just receiving audio?

This. My old 2nd gen i5-750 doesn’t hold a candle vs. a modern i3.

When people say x86 is not power efficient, it usually means it’s not very efficient for battery powered devices, or is kind of wasteful in situations like in data centers where they’re running thousands of machines. For home use, with a machine that’s gonna probably end up idling most of the time, my best guess is it would cost you a couple tens of dollars a year to run vs a slightly smaller amount.

Personally, just so I don’t have to deal with software compatibility on different architectures, I’ll gladly pay that small difference in power usage, but this will of course vary depending on what you’re looking to run on there.

No judgement if you like it, but do I want and need content like that second one lol?

There’s tons of demo scene stuff on YT, no?

Can’t say there’s no crazy mixed in on PeerTube either lol. And as much as I’d love to like PeerTube… There’s just nothing that brings me back, content wise.

Hmm, that much for textures, really? Did this change in the recent years with the rise of 4K gaming? I always thought raw media files like video/audio were the main culprits.

I’d assume prebuilts are still the default for most desktop users. Yeah, building a PC is easier than its ever been, but it doesn’t mean people are interested in doing it. Also warranty and support if something goes bad - most people will prefer to just take the computer to the store rather than troubleshoot which one it is and deal with RMAs on individual components.

This. It’s not either-or.
