Just curious, what is the evil monopoly shit you’re referring to? Is it simply the fact they are effectively a monopoly in games distribution, and that in and of itself is bad, or are there more specific practices or actions you’re thinking of?

Maybe I’m getting things backwards here, but wouldn’t disabling cookie persistence actually stop some of the more malicious forms of tracking, where different websites track your activity across websites? I’m not an expert on this specific matter but my understanding was that website A saves a cookie in your browser, which website B then uses to identify you (maybe with some extra steps of shipping that data off to some data broker or w/e but you get the picture). I thought that disabling persistence would stop that from occurring in the sense that once your restart your browser and go to website B, there is nothing from A for them to look at.

But if you just run it locally an a media server in your home, and you don’t expose the service to the internet, that doesn’t really matter? Though perhaps more people connect to their Jellyfin instances remotely than I realize.

I work as a software developer. My team mate once said he was a “mouse and click kinda guy” when asked why he didn’t use the terminal for git.

I also work in IT, but tbf that sounds a lot more exciting than the projects I work on.

I have a hard time seeing that happening at my workplace, but I see how it can be significant for jobs like medical staff, security, etc.

This is how it is at my current job in Denmark. Never experienced it before working in Denmark.

By that reasoning knowing how to screen share is crucial knowledge for all high-paid jobs

Transferring files that way actually seems really useful, I did not think of that

Why?

I considered it before I switched from 7 to 10, but since 10 still makes it possible to create an offline account and disable most of the spyware and other bloat, I opted to stay with Windows for another generation of OS. 11 is different though, it’s several steps too far into proprietary hell.

I’ve been dipping my toes into it over the years, I’m just not ready to make it my daily driver quite yet

The second Win 10 stops receiving security updates, it’s Linux for me.

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.
