It uses other signals too, like what other sites you've visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you're logged into a google account and take that into account.

There's even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn't even bother to show a checkbox.

This reminds me of a great video about this sort of principle in reverse: https://youtu.be/wBBnfu8N_J0

I enjoy OpenMW and I'm happy to host if you want, although my instance is basically just me and a few friends right now.

I've used a number of different Linux distros (including Debian) on laptops over the years. Although most recently my XPS 15 was running Arch.

It's falsifying business records, which becomes a felony when combined with it being a campaign finance violation.

Not as strong of a case as the docs one but it is a crime.

I use Alpine Linux quite a bit, which is a Linux distro that doesn't use the GNU coreutils or glibc.

Also even giving GNU such a high level in the name on a distro like Arch makes little sense imo because other components like systemd are arguably much more important than one of many libc libraries you can optionally use and a bunch of coreutils you can also optionally use.

I attempted to boot Mandrake/Mandrivia on an old laptop once and failed, then I mucked around in Slackware's live CD for an afternoon. The first thing I actually installed and used daily was Ubuntu 10.04.

The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.

As a compiler developer this speaks to me on a deep level lol

I couldn't imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it's an easy buy.

After owning an Apple ARM laptop I'd never go back to anything else.

Manjaro and Antergos are just asking for trouble. If you want Arch, use Arch. Otherwise Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and Fedora are popular.

I don't think the full Radeon suite is on Linux but there are tools for screen recording like simple screen recorder and OBS.

There is lots of 3rd party software available on all of these distros in their respective package managers, but Ubuntu has the advantage with PPAs allowing for more 3rd party repos to be easily added to the package manager.

HDR support is still very early/basic right now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support
