i don't hate windows because of design inconsistencies and imagined security differences. i hate windows because it shoves ads in my face and spies on me, and every time i dig through the registry to get it to not do that, it gets undone with the next system update.

i use linux because it doesn't make me do that in order to have a system i consider usable.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It consumes the exact same amount of power whether there's useful data in it or not. Any self-respecting operating system will fill up RAM that applications aren't using with frequently accessed files, so they're ready to go in an instant.

JUST BECAUSE I USE FIREFOX DOESN'T MEAN I'M A FURRY!

I mean, I am a furry.

BUT NOT BECAUSE I USE FIREFOX!

Tell me they didn't. Tell me this isn't an actual slide. This is just too funny.

The libre difference, where immediately upon starting up, your desktop manager throws an Oops!, and it shows the current power consumption in the status bar despite having no idea what the current power consumption is.

You couldn’t use any of the services to find your phone?

GrapheneOS doesn't come with any preinstalled (doing so would kind of go against the whole privacy ethos), and I hadn't yet gone through the hassle of setting up an Owntracks server so I could have a third-party one. I tried calling it, but by the time I realized it was missing, it was out of battery.
