As much as I lean to hate this despite it not even affecting me as a Linux user…
I’m going to structure this as a Q&A with myself now, based on comments online
What is that? “I’m going to pretend to ask questions that I’ll then answer myself the way I think it’ll outrage that most people do I’ll get a lot of clicks on this shitty article”? What crappy excuse for content creation is this? I hate it.
I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride
Their dumb cope cages
Our glorious reinforced anti-drone turret protection
Like, I know I’m being cynical, but seriously… what makes this better than the Russian cages that are usually ridiculed?
windows is still a effecient os, it’s just a lot of bloat
I like that contradiction.
which can be disabled
Pretty sure it can’t, especially not “officially” by the device manufacturer and certainly not in a way that keeps those debloat settings in place over the next few large updates.
Liked your comment so much I just did it there.
It sounds like they had it there because of the Moskva sinking.
Certainly not. Immediately after the war started, Turkey closed its passage for Russian naval ships. The black sea fleet is on its own since then and can neither retreat nor be reinforced.
If the alternative is Windows which is increasingly filled with ads or Linux which shifts the burden of computer administration to a user who might not have a clue about what they’re supposed to do if their WiFi doesn’t “just work”, paying for a managed walled garden that doesn’t try to install candy crush without you asking for it isn’t such a bad option.
The on screen keyboard. Strategy games (civ and stellaris in my case). Desktop mode. Sometimes even 1st/3rd person view games when I’m not in the mood for gyro controls. Browsing (did you know you can usually “spin” your left touch pad iPod-style to scroll?). Stuff like that.
No touch pads? No deal. They’re just that good.
I’m not sure if I’m convinced. Could you post a screenshot of a solved captcha to prove it?

Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…
I’d bet that after starlink was disabled once mid operation, they’d rather eat a donkey’s dick than rely on Musk’s ass again.
What shielded bases were there in the books?
I mean, there was the “shield wall”, but that was just mountains that protected Arrakeen from the desert.
The touch pads are the killer feature, imho. They are the key to making mouse centric games playable. I wouldn’t want to touch eg stellaris with an 11 feet pole with joysticks or touch screen but sank so much time into the game on the deck.
I mean, there’s also so much other stuff… The device running on Linux and giving unrestricted access to the desktop. The software being great. The case being screwed, not glued. Valves super relaxed stance on people modifying the hardware. It all adds up. But from a purely user centric pov, I wouldn’t buy a PC based handheld without the pads after I saw how well they work.
Ah, crap. :(
Great, now I’ve got tea on my sweater…
This really caught me by surprise.
Then just sign it as a middle finger to Microsoft. The more people sign it, the worse they look
I just love the ambiguity of who “they” is in this case.
Threema?
I think the original idea was to not only tell people they’ll go to hell because they once wore two different kinds of fabric at the same time but to also sell them absolution before their death. Just consider it a business model.
Xournal lets you paint on a document, which I guess isn’t what they need when they talk about legal stuff. Digitally signing a document is still one of the rare cases where I boot up my windows vm. It’s so annoying that there’s practically no way to do that in Linux as my company’s processes rely on it.
