2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Worse, they're scoped down both ends while inside a live streaming MRI machine.

    at least they are using a chromium derivative over chrome

    I'm not sure Microsoft flavored Chromium > Chrome

    It runs with less overhead/it’s faster

    No I knew already
    I was talking in terms of privacy

    I can’t say if telemetry is different between packages but at least on Windows there’s no reason to collect as much as Google because they collect it at the OS level

    That gives potential for them collecting less on other platforms

    [–] shy_mia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    It's the exact opposite imo. I'd imagine that doesn't really make a difference considering Edge is cross platform, and their goal is to collect as much data as possible.
    Plus, they just collect different kinds of info through Windows. So Windows + Edge is even worse, especially since it integrates just as deeply into Windows as IE did years back.

    It’s a waste of resources

    All network requests already go through so many layers in Windows

    [–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

    It’s a waste of resources

    That's basically the whole OS at this point, no?

    [–] shy_mia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Bold of you to assume that Microsoft cares about resources. Have you seen how much RAM Windows 11 uses at idle? (not including cached data)

    The whole OS is a waste of resources.
