Humans aren't perfect either, and often spew confidently wrong information.
This is exactly what I do... and then never touch it again.
someone who knows everything about you can easily manipulate or even blackmail you
To that end, the ability for people to not only fabricate completely new evidence, but also manipulate existing evidence, I think deserves a lot more attention.
For example, imagine the damage someone can do simply by taking leaked corporate data and slightly messing with it. Who second-guesses the accuracy of leaked data?
the “nothing to hide” argument implies that if you want to keep certain aspects of your life private (i.e., hidden), you must have done something wrong
What has also become more sinister as of late is that the definition of "wrong" can change at the whim of whoever is running your government right now.
Unfortunately, none of my TeknoParrot games run under Linux.
I try not to put much stock in black-and-white opinions because I think the answer is rarely that simple.
I wonder how they did not catch this
Because the date command fails most of its unit tests and they decided to ship it anyway. I would also argue they don't have anywhere near enough tests in the first place.
I think you’ll have an extremely hard time finding any hardware that supports Windows but can’t run linux
My previous laptop couldn't boot linux for like 2 years until kernel patches came out. It still to this day doesn't support bluetooth in linux due to an unfixed/wontfix kernel bug. And the wifi only uploads at 1mbps under linux.
By incompatible I don't mean "won't boot at all" (even though I've had that multiple times, including with my Surface tablet), but it's all the little stuff that often doesn't have a 100% working driver (either yet or at all). Maybe you don't experience this but there's still lots of people that do.
Personally, every game I care to run works perfectly fine on my Steam Deck
Almost none of my TeknoParrot games work under linux, no matter what version/patch/fork of wine/lutris/proton/etc. I try. Plus there's tons of people that still want to play those newer games with kernel-level anti-cheat, even if you don't.
5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:
-
Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines
-
Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)
-
You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods
-
Your company policy requires it
-
Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing
Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I'm not saying you shouldn't use Linux at all.
What about Blink?
There's lots of content sitting just below the surface on github. Any time you make a PR on a repo, even if it gets closed or "deleted" by the repo owner, the actual link to the file itself stays there forever if you save it. Github's own dmca repo even has warez links on it, sitting there for years.
