You can Block WebRTC via uBlock.

From my understanding, this, along with setting Meta on fire, may mitigate the issue.

Why are you not gay?!!!

I add oil, just enough to barely coat the pan, and then tap a teeny drop of tap water from my finger onto the pan. Once the drop pops (if it got touched by the oil) or simply boils away, I can start cooking.

Additionally: butter. Butter somehow doesn’t stick for whatever reason, even if the pan isn’t fully heated up yet.

My guess is that if most things “just work”, Linux may be fine. I mean, there’s a whole second laptop available and I’m reachable most of the time. I just don’t want to play support all the time.

I’m also not that worried about locking things down. The parents can’t even lock down Windows properly and have resorted to restricting internet time via a router setting. It’s MAC based, and I think if the kid figures out how to change MAC addresses, they deserve a little extra Roblox time until the parents notice.

At the moment I think I’ll sit down with them and we’ll set this thing up together. That way I can teach them a bit about the differences and show them cool things like ad blocking or Steam and see how they do by themselves … and then make my (hopefully final) decision.

I would just like to say that I really appreciate everyone’s contributions so far; even the little off-topic discussions.

But you are completely misjudging the situation. When I spoke of “first assumption”, said they "know their way around Windows" and stated they found ways around prior parental locks, I was actually referring to the fact that “my kid” hasn’t even been born yet. We’ve just slipped two iPads in, one with a YouTube-Kids Elsa Gate loop and the other constantly doom scrolling TikTok and Twitter.

I’m definitely not talking about someone who is a several years older than I was, when I got my first internet connected PC.

Sarcasm aside; they are more than old enough, according to their actual parents. They had a phone for quite some time; same for a Windows notebook. I just happen to have a better notebook laying around, but feel like Windows is sort of shit, and I need a little help with judging if Linux is the right call.

Just want to add to the difference in experience:

I leaned Linux, because I wanted to learn Linux and as such I was fine with stumbling a bit from time to time. They want a working computer that does Roblox and homework and don’t care much about the rest.

I daily drive Silverblue (and the terminal is not useless >:c), and in a vacuum I would probably install Silverblue or another atomic desktop. But I worry about Windows compatibility.

Imagine the feeling when “you just click the .exe and everything installs itself” works for everyone but you. It doesn’t matter that downloading executables from random websites is way worse than a proper package manager in pretty much every way.

It’s still alienating. Going along with everyones technical dept may still be a nicer experience, because at least it doesn’t require the effort of doing something different.

That’s what I’m worried about.

It puts the update on its skin.

Is the image edited? 75% sRGB coverage on an IPS panel? That’s terrible. I’ve never seen IPS panels that cover so little sRGB colorspace. Almost all of them will easily achieve the same amount of Adobe RGB per default.

75% is horrendous. You’ll definitely notice that.

Isn’t it mostly 9*10+2? 9 * ty (implying 10) + 2.

Even german does that, although weirdly the way you can’t just write down long numbers reasily one by one: Zwei (2) und ((and) neun- (9) -zig (*10)).

These two are cool tho’.

If you are non-german or OOTL: One refuses to bite a demonstrator (who is protesting against Nazis) even though it is literally shoved into one, and the other one just bites another cop.

Damn woke physics

If you have south or west facing windows:

Metallized privacy films have made a big difference in my home. For heat protection, they should be the weather resistant kind and applied to the outside of the window. (They should be removable without leaving any residue)

If you want to try this method out first: Stick a few space blankets in front of the windows. Looks like shit, but it’s a cheap way to test whether this method might work for you.

Why is everyone in this thread Richard Byrd?

Most people I know wear t-shirts at home in winter and heat up the house to compensate, wasting energy. This meme is clearly aimed at them.

If you live in arctic conditions, then you probably already wear more than a shirt, even at home. If not, then feel adressed as well.

And to the many people who are currently raising their babies at home: Scandinavian practices be damned. I understand that it’s not too practical to regularly wrap up your baby so that they can withstand freezing conditions. Fine. Turn up the damn thermostat. You already have a screaming infant at your hands.

Everyone else: stfu.

Man. Last time I just wanted to check if my new laptop was working properly, so I booted up it’s preinstalled Windows. I literally had to look up how to get Windows to get me into Explorer without creating an account or connecting it to my network.

It took me about 25 minutes and Windows was already installed on the damn thing.

It took 15 minutes from booting a prepared Fedora stick to logging in.

I honestly believe that, by now, Linux is no more difficult than Windows. People are just not used to the differences.

Nono, it’s:

“I need to format stings with values from a dictonary. What should I do?”

“Use Django. It has a templating engine.”

[…] more than 60 Hz. Most phones on the market don’t even support it.

Just checked. Most phones within the 400€ - 800€ price range support more than 60Hz.

Of 591 devices, only 176 feature a ‘unknown’ or <90Hz refresh rate. 415 support >=90Hz, 382 support >=120Hz and 48 models go to >=144Hz. It has become a fairly common feature.
