[06:22:08] howmaso ye

[06:23:17] howmaso heard of that as well

[06:23:30] howmaso ngl i dont think its gonna be a big deal

[06:23:32] howmaso just lie to the os

[06:24:21] howmaso cant even argue that

[06:24:30] howmaso argue with*

[06:25:48] howmaso windows xp source leaked a while back, and there are legacy patches people make right?

[06:25:57] howmaso although i think youd be better off using linux atp

[06:26:22] howmaso lol

[06:26:34] howmaso thats just called QubesOS

[06:27:02] howmaso this is what i meant by legacy patches btw https://legacyupdate.net/

[06:27:42] howmaso ngl with the fact that both Apple and Microsoft have an account system it makes me wonder if theyre plotting against us or something. but thats just a theory, A CONSPIRACY THEORY

[06:27:59] howmaso mlu: as for what i know this seems about right

[06:28:13] howmaso and something about an API as well i think, but im not entirely sure

[06:29:17] howmaso yeah but you have to enter an age when you make those accounts, so it just makes me wonder if this is some big tech conspiracy to try and stall linux development or something

[06:29:28] howmaso -> THIS IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY, TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT <-

[06:33:37] howmaso this reminds me much of that one bill that requires that all 3d printers have something in them to prevent it from printing a gun. because that is TOTALLY enforceable and possible to do

[06:34:07] howmaso the age verification bill is too loose in its terms and leaves much wiggle room for systemd

[06:34:09] howmaso we will be fine

[06:34:36] howmaso zer0s: open your google account settings i dare you

[06:35:01] howmaso never in the history of the internet has that ever happened

[06:36:10] howmaso yeah but what about public computers. the local library near me doesnt really care about what happens on their machines and ive had to yell at them several times about vulns that to this day are not patched

[06:36:17] howmaso children can use public computers

[06:36:22] howmaso or school computers

[06:36:43] howmaso lol

[06:36:50] howmaso lmao

[06:38:02] howmaso i used to watch some pretty messed up stuff that i didnt fully understand at the time, and im fine. but idk if thats survivorship bias or not

[06:38:07] howmaso ^

[06:38:33] howmaso zer0s thats just what the media wants you to think

[06:38:43] howmaso but now im getting schizo

[06:38:58] howmaso take that with a grain of salt

[06:41:25] howmaso zer0s or school computers (but at that point youd have a bigger issue) https://cb.whale.x10.mx/docs/get-started/ https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/ etc etc

[06:42:22] howmaso mlu: well well well look whos talking

[06:42:30] howmaso noooo

[06:43:11] howmaso lol

[16:03:05] howmaso when has it every really been the year of the linux desktop

[16:03:10] howmaso ever*

[17:34:22] howmaso lol

[17:44:21] howmaso idk if this counts as being a doomer or blackpiller but you gotta admit that windows is just better for some people. for stuff like Adobe yeah you can say that you shouldn't be using Adobe in the first place but ive worked alongside some creatives and its just not that easy. there are certain things i doubt open source could ever replicate that proprietary has created. so although linux is a great system its not something thats good for

[17:44:21] howmaso everyone. yes this is unrelated, but nobody here is chatting anyway

[17:44:30] howmaso hai hexdog

[17:45:42] howmaso bruh

[17:54:30] howmaso its not worth it End3r

[17:54:33] howmaso theyre just gonna use a vpn

[17:54:38] howmaso or tor

[17:54:44] howmaso (idk if Rizon supports tor)

[17:55:15] howmaso End3r lucky bastard, ive been trying for years and ive only gotten one person

[17:56:57] howmaso ik but WINE sucks at certain apps, and plus its kinda hard to convince people to just download Etcher, plug their USB stick into their computer, disable Secure Boot, and boot into the installer

[17:57:09] howmaso lol

[17:58:10] howmaso yes. ive tried it. including that Adobe patch which is really nice (although it needs some work). the thing is youre running on the assumption that most people even know what WINE is and how to configure it

[17:58:23] howmaso most people arent on that level of technical capability

[17:58:42] howmaso same but theyre industry standard so we dont really get a choice

[18:00:32] howmaso ?

[18:00:57] howmaso never heard of it

[18:02:01] howmaso nice

[18:04:14] howmaso why not winget

[18:05:29] howmaso i guess its just a matter of preference then

[18:06:05] howmaso nice

[18:06:18] howmaso (i totally did not have to search up what an MSP is)

[18:06:44] howmaso YOOO

[18:07:22] howmaso if only the ai integrations into windows were this nice

[18:10:11] howmaso oh god that renders horribly on my side

[18:10:32] howmaso might be

[18:18:00] howmaso the ops are always watching us 0_0

[18:18:13] howmaso THEYRE IN THE WALLS

[20:37:38] howmaso End3r wat

[20:37:41] howmaso oo

[20:37:42] howmaso nice

[20:38:09] howmaso alr but im writing a paper rn
