A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers (lemmy.ml)

B) No, you're replying.

B2) First of all, you're requiring out of box. Even windows has hibernation disabled by default, so it doesn't come out of box like you want. Second of all, while yes, hibernation requires a little more extra work because it requires signing your keys with secure boot and therefore Microsoft itself (which any linux user is hesitant to do), it does work with a bit of extra work, and there are guides. It is not a big deal.

I neither use TPM due to the potential backdoors, nor secure boot because it serves no purpose other than to try to lock in users to Windows, and preventing piracy (besides, BlackLotus bypasses secure boot, so it is rendered completely useless). And on linux you are allowed to disable these. Secure boot in itself is legally in a gray area because it forces you to sign with Microsoft even when you don't use Windows or any Microsoft products.

C) Me: windows is shit because it overrides my preferred settings in favor of Microsoft products. You: No it doesn't. Me: yes it does. Here try this right now. You: That doesn't count because you're on windows using a Microsoft product. Me: the entire OS is a Microsoft product, so technically they could ignore your preferences at anytime, but that only proves my point harder. You: pardon?

Are we up to speed?
