Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

On Linux my fingerprint reader doesn’t work

Your WHAT? How stupid does one have to be to even use fingerprints on technology they do not fully control, and that has network access? facepalm

I'm sure the smartphone you're using right now is all under your control with no network access right? 🤦

Seriously, what's up with all those trolls on lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

They're not trolls, just Unix-pilled dumbasses who can't accept their 4% club isn't the literal holy grail they want it to be.

Linux is great, yeah. You know what else is great? Playing games. Not debugging drivers. Stable configurations. Not sucking Torvalds' dick. Coming home after my job and just doing whatever the fuck I want on my PC, instead of putting on my "Linux user" overalls and going back to what is basically another job, trying and failing to get the fucking OS to do one teensy little thing that there are 50 half-documented solutions for, 49 of which don't work.

It is rooted , uses LineageOS & doesn't have google apps etc. Yes. Beyond that, I understand the risks of using always-online technology.
