Streaming services like netflix and prime helped reduce piracy to all time lows. But then corps started getting stupid again and making their own exclusive streaming services, requiring you to have 20 subscriptions just get all the same shit you had with 2. Now drm enforcement on top of that and piracy is back on the rise…

Agree, i have rarely seen people who actually use adblock outside my work. I had to practically tie up my entire family, in-laws included to get ublock installed on all their computers.

I’m probably going to get flammed for this, so let me just say I’m already a Linux user.

We need to cool our jets here. Windows 12 isn’t even confirmed yet, and there’s no proof that it will require a subscription. That being said, a subscription service isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it will allow users to have access to features they need, or replace other existing subscription services like xbox game pass, cloud storage, media, etc…

Just a general reminder for folks to generate content. Don’t worry if it doesn’t get a lot of attention yet, the fact that it’s there will bring people in.

Meh, kinda depends. Most issues I’ve had with Arch are related to bugs with apps rather than system breakage (looking at you early Plasma). Overall Arch is stable and issues are resolved quickly, though sometimes you may need to avoid major software releases for a while.

Just installed windows on a new hardrive and even that muthafucker couldn’t get the audio driver to work properly!

Browsing lemmy with a 2 in 1 Riced Arch laptop in bed…

Windows drivers can be hell at times, even more so than Linux.
