@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Looks like a prequel to The Expanse — origins and history of the Belters 😅

@Hawlucha I don't think they'll collect your voice samples and your phone number if you call support as there is no way to handle this automatically — they don't know anything about the account you use, just your voice and phone number. Linking that to your account will require manual input from support engineer's side — and that is the last thing he/she wants to do I think.
But I suppose it depends on your paranoia level 😅

@Hawlucha Linking a phone number was never mandatory for me though, e-mail always did the trick, you've got to have a non-MS email-address linked though.
It offers this from time to time, but there was always a button like "Not now" or "Do it later".
The only time they insisted on entering some phone number is when I've sent too many e-mails in a short period — some antispam measure, I think.

@Hawlucha I've never played Minecraft, but I have MS account. It gets locked out once in a few months, mostly when using TOR. I don't think this happens when I just use VPN with exit nodes in different countries as Proton tries to keep their IPs from getting blacklisted.
It's always a bummer as I have to change my password six times to set it back to original one (AD-style security measure). I know it's me, there is no point in changing the password, right?

This one gives off strong vibes of The Process from Transistor game: a cybernetic entity imitating organic life.
Not that I'm against this cancer devouring the city. The blocks of flats behind it look terrible 🤢

— Don't waste my time, just fax it to me!
— Argh, all right…

Так себе выбор, нельзя маршировать в масках к кошкам 😿

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network I don't think original st had that, that's why I asked 😉
Original st is so fast that I prefer it as a default term, I only use patched st for mutt to have color emojis.

@gabriel
Yeah! Not just US and Canada, it looks like mankind as a whole went back to teenage ways of dealing with problems. That's pretty bad, but I'm sure we'll live through that.
@Elecnurs3

@gabriel So this wasn't a joke? 🤭

@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network TUI enjoys kind of revival nowadays, but I don't see a lot of people watching movies using aalib output. I wonder why🤷🏿‍♀️

@sai Good day!
Kinda same vibes picture 😅

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Oh, I see. Pywal is cool, I've given up using it as I spent too much time theming and found a look that I could stick with for long🤣
Does your st support transparency or is it just a background picture?

They've made the button visible again in 8.1 and they've made a setting in Windows 10 to make it look more XP-like and with Windows 11 look almost as horrible as Windows XP did. So I'm back to linux-based opetating systems. Good thing, there is #VoidLinux now so I don't have systemd and I don't have to fsck around with it all day like I did with Gentoo 🤭

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org
I was like: "Wow, there is no Windows95-style Start (I really hated that) anymore, now it's full screen and there are huge buttons for your favourite applications and if it's not there, you can just type it's name! That it what an application launcher should look like!"
But everyone else hated it so MS decided to "make Windows great again" and removed all things I likes. It was getting worse with every major Windows version.

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Windows 8 was the first Windows I was running on my computers in a long time. I didn't like iOS and I just hated Android so I've tried a Windows Phone 7 based Lumia. The battery life was horrible so I've returned it, but I liked the tiles. So when Windows 8 consumer preview images became available and I've tried that.

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org For me it was almost the exact opposite 😅
No, of course I've used Windows 95 along with OS/2 Warp — and many did, Windows wasn't THAT mainstream at the time. Maybe even Windows 98, but not anything beyond that. A friend of mine gave me a RedHat CD (It was so long ago, there was no RHEL, it was just RedHat), told me it was the new cool free UNIX-like thing and I went with that. In 2000s Mac OS X got released, I liked Apple hardware so I switched to Macs.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Oh, maybe it does that now, I don't know. I've just set that var in my .profile and forgot about it.
You can make sure it does by opening "about:support" the Graphics section should show whether it uses wayland or not.
Maybe there is an url like that for chromium-based browsers? 🤷🏿‍♀️

@jrballesteros05 @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I think you could just disable autorun with some registry setting and I believe it was there prior to XP.
