I know, and the ‘fuck Microsoft’ is completely warranted for that. But shouting that and then coming up with a story where somebody enabled it themselves and subsequently lost their key, that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Unless it was to illustrate the dangers of FDE, but in that case the point could have been made a bit clearer.

But how is that relevant to your ‘Fuck Microsoft’ if he knowingly encrypted his device, which is how you make it sound?

I’ve enabled FDE on one of my Linux devices, I’ve already had to mount the filesystem in a rescue environment once because a failed update caused the system to be unable to boot. I would also have been hosed if I had lost the encryption key. Ok not really, because that’s what backups are for, but you hopefully get the point.

Good point, although admittedly I’ve had my fair share of Wayland-related issues with KDE. Unless you want those few extra FPS in a game or HDR, is there really a noticeable difference from an average user’s perspective?

KDE is allegedly better because it gives the user more options, but anyone who’s actually used it will tell you that it suffers from the same kind of bloat and braindead design decisions as gnome.

I’ve used KDE on and off for the past 20 years or so. These days I use KDE on my work laptop and Cinnamon on my personal one. Personally I think they both do their job just fine, but apparently I’m in the wrong.

Morrowind.

Can you find this person whom wandered off into the ashlands? They went east-ish.

I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in the Construction Kit to find out where in Vivec’s name I had to go this time. Usually it turned out I just barely missed the person or location I had to go before starting an hourlong search.

But despite that still a game I deeply love.

I’m so glad crap like that isn’t valid in the EU.
