Blame folks like Jobs and Gates for this and all other tech giants who made technology extremely user friendly instead of educating the masses how to actually understand and use your computer safely. Now they are just sheeps.

But I don’t think it would make any difference. What would actually secure the account is the internal account password which both Signal and Whatsapp already have.

If a phone gets stolen, you can easily file a complaint, get that sim deactivated and a replacement within an hour. Put it in another phone and logout of any accounts from the stolen phone. If the stolen phone has a lock, then it is pretty difficult for a random thief to extract the data from the phone.

Source: My phone was stolen in 2014 and had my brother’s phone number in it who was in another country. My parents lodged a complaint the next day, deactivated the sim and got a replacement in 3 hours. My phone didn’t have a lock but thankfully I did not have any sensitive data on it and I reset my google account password ASAP after I lost it and logged out of all devices. I still use all the important accounts that were on that phone till this date.

So I doubt the new measures will be any useful given that you already need to verify your govt id and biometrics to get a phono number in the first place.

I doubt because to get a phone number in India you already need to provide and verify your government id and biometrics. Without it even the vendor can’t hit next button to allocate the phone number.

Huh, interesting. Because other than appearance and keyboard shortcuts, I haven’t configured anything to affect these behaviors.

I switched my laptop last year and installed Arch with Plasma 6 so it was working out of the box. My previous laptop had Arch with Plasma 5 and then updated to 6 and also had Gnome before that. So it could have been I might I have configured something over there to get those things working (I don’t remember doing that though) but the newer one had it by default.

You might have configured something that broke it because there ain’t no way what you are saying is not supported on Linux.

I know Arch is a rolling release so it doesn’t have that on purpose, but it’s not much better with Ubuntu - I was getting updates every couple of days, once a week at best.

You don’t have to update if you don’t want to and you can schedule your updates as well with a bash script (although I prefer to do it manually once a week). I have a Windows VM used for MS office and Adobe that hasn’t been updated for months.

Window tiling doesn’t exist “out of the box”, you need third party software

It is out of the box. Meta + Arrow Keys and/OR Meta + PgUp. I use it all the time lol since KDE Plasma 5 and Gnome whatever version it was 3 years ago.

Saving window positions (on Wayland) is the most confusing one

Confirmed works by FarrellPerks@feddit.uk in above comments. Although I never tested or cared for it.

SDDM displays the same interface on each monitor, and each is a separate instance of SDDM

I don’t know about desktop towers, for laptop it is always only one instance — my laptop display, monitor is dark before I hit enter. And for the normal KDE lockscreen, it does give it on both the screens but I can enter my password in any one of them and logon.

if you disconnect an extra screen, all the content gets dropped on the main screen. Since Windows 11, if you then re-connect the screen, all windows will pop back into their places before the disconnect happened.

same happens on KDE Plasma.

Linux has all of this out of the box (don’t know about windows positions after reboot, I have never tried that even on Windows). What distro and DE are you using? I am using Arch with KDE Plasma and it has been pretty much flawless and stable for me.

Wait… Either I have bad grammar or you misinterpreted lol. I meant “Linux has more to offer than Windows”

I really don’t see what more Windows has to offer than Linux other some shitty software that cannot be run on Linux (Looks at newer Office and Adobe). In that case I can just boot up a VM with black-flag Windows Pro on it.

JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse

Both will happen.

Besides.

some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa

For me it has worked everywhere. All of my media is in .mkv so it already contains the subtitles. It works in all browsers clients, Desktop clients, TV and Mobile clients. Works in VLC and MPV as well on desktop, TV and Mobile. Works with Kodi as well. Works on same network (via both host IP and reverse proxy) as well as remotely via Pangolin.

So you can try putting everything in one MKV Container or maybe change the subtitle formats (if that’s a thing).

I use Arch BTW — just in case if Arch has that in their terms.

There are uBlock/Adguard filters which you can use to block shit. My homepage is just a blank. On Android revanced has that option to hide shit as well. Or you can use Newpipe.

I am a simple man. I don’t look anything beyond vanilla Arch, Debian and Fedora.

I didn’t know the website lol. I just searched “anonymous file sharing”.

“Windows Linux”

Maybe your bank login just in case.
