As a European browsing the internet, this would not even surprise me if true

Those are security guards, not privacy guards..

Nosex is missing

Meanwhile Linux (ext4) users are over here sorting by whatever we want.

With ctime, mtime and atime it doesn't matter what you call your files!

I use Arch btw

It's pretty common to have this as the only barrier. If someone got into my work PC they could easily take down a lot of critical infrastructure, if they knew where to look.

Terrible, but common.

I don't think that's true at all. Your middle class percentage is tiny compared to most of Europe, and while you also earn a bit more, that money goes to a much stronger social safety net in most of Europe, too (at least in our more successful countries).

I would also wager that middle class workers are more comfortable here, because of guaranteed 5-7 weeks holiday, 37 hour work weeks (for the vast majority), guaranteed parental leave, and just generally a very unionized job market.

Do you really think anyone outside the US thinks "freedom" is your main export? Lmao

All of those things are by design and comparing JS to a fully fledged OOP language is just the sign of a clueless developer.

The JS standard is well defined and compatibility has nothing to do with the language itself

I think about this a lot. Living in probably the most digitalized western country, pretty much 100% of the software used is proprietary.

We are so deep in the pockets of Microsoft. It's disgusting. The same goes for pretty much every medium/large company.

I use SMS in Denmark with people I don't know personally. Apps like Telegram or WhatsApp aren't common here (yet) unfortunately.

Everyone has Facebook and uses Messenger. The absolute worst of all the choices..

Passwords and 2FA won't stop you from being tracked when web browsing or using apps on your phone

The classic would probably be plain old FTP, but SFTP/SCP/SSH works fine as well.

When I need to share files to newbs I usually just use a small Node script to host an HTTPS server from terminal, and give them a file link

One is a rate of data, the other is an amount.

Mbps means megabits per second.

MB is just megabytes. You can of course turn it into a rate, but then it would be MB/s.

There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps would be 12.5 MB/s (divide by 8)

This was how reddit was meant to be. Now every opinion the hive mind disagrees with gets downvoted to hell.

I don't think you have to be goth to like goth chicks

Or you use a trailer. Everyone knows someone with a trailer, or, at least where I live, you can rent one for a few hours for free.

Good luck

Not really, it's just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.

I never played any Souls games before Elden Ring, and while it was a bit frustrating at first, I came to enjoy the exploration quite a lot.

It's not as hard as people make it up to be, as you can mostly just overlevel a bit if you hit a wall. Some of the boss fights suck, though. They feel unfair at times and I felt a bit lucky to beat some of them when they just randomly don't do the hard-to-avoid combos.

The exploration is what makes the game for me. The universe and atmosphere is spot on. Trying out different weapons and builds is a lot of fun once you get to around lvl 50.

That's the point..

It's very comparable to "normal streaming services", just better in every way imaginable, provided you set up the backend with supporting services
