Emphasis on by comparison, as in "molten hot metal is cooler than the surface of the sun, by comparison".

TikTok and Temu actively have code in them that would be considered a virus in other contexts. They exploit your system to gain more access than they should, violating the point of sandboxed access.

By comparison Meta and Google merely take advantage of user ignorance and apathy by making opting out frustrating - but still technically doable.

Both practices are terrible, but that's not the same as saying they're equally bad.

Them too, but lukewarm by comparison.

Obviously NixOS is the way to go for a gaming OS, just use the right flake and you're all set!

A demon core was part of early nuclear bomb research. The type of reaction they were studying would emit blue light and a ton of radiation.

It's been a meme to imagine the demon core as an available weapon in medieval fantasy, since it looks somewhat like a mace.

I have a similar use case, what do you recommend on the pi for a TV OS?

Between Microsoft's open source Vulcan enhancements and Valve's everything else enhancements both being contributed upstream, "Wine required" doesn't have quite the same punch it used to.

Pours myself a shot for having to thank Microsoft

There's a workaround for this issue.

  1. Go to https://open.audio/ or https://funkwhale.audio/#get-started
  2. Register for an account.
  3. Enjoy over 30k hours of creative commons music, freely shared.

FunkWhale is another decentralized service like Lemmy or Mastodon. (It also runs on ActivityPub under the hood.) Most of the publicly available pods only share creative commons material, simply because it's the easiest to share, but artists can share under whatever license works for them.

If you're technically inclined, you can run your own pod and load whatever music you own onto it, and share it with others (I presume you'll take care not to share beyond whatever license you have permits). Pods sharing pirated music exist, and they obviously should be avoided. Even if you're not technically inclined, many pods allow you to upload some amount of music, you'll want to double check the server's rules to determine if that can be used for your personal library.

Basically by allowing websites to refuse to load unless the browser the operating system running the browser promises that the user isn't allowed to know what the computer is doing. And Google super duper promises this won't be used for evil.
