You will own nothing, and you will be happy.
I can imagine a dystopian future, where only few hardcopies/offline copies of literature survive. All art/media is only available on the cloud, which is constantly changed as per the agenda of the day. All communication has to go through the cloud for authenticated. The police state is constantly scanning people if they have any sort of external storage device. USB ports are banned from being manufactured. Radio is banned. Few people, the rebels, hoard the last bit of art and music in the form of LPs/cassettes,/canvas but it's shared among people like contraband.
This can be an awesome movie :P
Buddy, I have tried docked mode on windows (Ally + Windows + Bluetooth controller). It's hell! I can't wait to get back to SteamOS/Bazzite.
What problems have you faced in docked mode?
"Hey, I've seen this one before. It's a classic."
The Sun provides us with life, skin cancer, and heatwaves. Nothing is perfect.
What, you didn't know you had to crank the power to high before microwaving your phone? Rookie mistake
But I cannot help but wonder if a line of simple, less advanced ICE cars promoted on their ease of maintenance wouldn’t get popular with, for example, rural folks. After all, being able to fix the beast yourself would lover your costs a lot
No car company will make a car which is maintainable by a common man because it affects their bottom line. We can dream of alternate concepts (open-source car design/metal 3D printing) but government regulations and lobbying will kill such concepts. We have to focus on the current scenario.
But if I wanted to hit the relatively nearby lake or beach, getting there by foot is another story
The majority of the anti-car people are not saying "destroy all cars. Nobody should have cars". We are just saying "please don't make our entire lives car-dependent. Please design cities/governments/social life in such a way so that it's accessible to non-car folks."
I also have a car, but I only use it for going to places which are not reachable by public transport. For traveling to work, I use public transport 5 days a week. Cars should be (IMO) a recreational mode of transport.
Author also forgot that these companies won’t fail, because these are not “one and only” of each in the world
I agree with you; they won't fail. However, they surely can make our lives hell if they want to. This is a power that I don't want them to have over me.
Damn...I've been discovered
I once installed Bazzite on my PC. I am an sway user/addict. So thought about installing sway on Bazzite.
Below is my journey
Let me try to download and compile it.
Downloaded but it won't compile.
The libraries/dependancies are not installed. Here, try installing the packages via brew.
Nope, some of them are available and some are not on Brew.
Now what do I do? Okay, there is something called distrobox where I can install whatever I want.
Looks like I have to learn distrobox. Wait, sway is not a simple application, it's a full blown window manager. Even if it compiles, will it work?
Most of the people online (Discord) told me the process won't be very pretty.
Do I want to invest another week experimenting with distrobox?
Nope, installed Nobara the next day and I'm happy.
Disclaimer: Bazzite is a fantastic distro and it's powering my RoG Ally. Atomic distros are fantastic for the niche they fill.
this anti cheat is the most privacy invasive kind, controlling and monitoring everything on your computer
Avg gamer: Woah that's really bad.
Me: So you'll uninstall the game now, right?
Avg gamer: What? Heck no. I'm Diamond in Valorant. And all my friends are playing it
They will understand what you said. But changing habit is way harder on a mass scale. It's well known for years that Vanguard is a rootkit but the game is as popular as ever. If you tell this on any gaming community, you'll be responded with "Oh and switch to LinSux and play decade old games?"
We will have to accept AIs are here to stay. Since putting wheels on grandama is the only way we can get a bike.
