  • You install Linux to escape the user-tracking consumerism hellosphere corporate Matrix. I install Linux to install this neat lil' Audio Player that plays Animal Crossing music. We are not the same.

  • Microsoft already removed all support for 16 bit apps on all 64 bit versions of their OSs. You can replace the missing NTVDM with WineVDM, which is essentially just WINE for 16 bit apps, and likely has higher compatibility than NTVDM anyway.

    That doesn't help with the incompatibilities of some Win9x and XP era apps, though.

    I don't think SC-Controller is making direct kernel syscalls or anything like that. It's probably just something as simple as the dev doesn't use Windows and doesn't feel like supporting it, which I can understand.

    Also the reason I even mentioned Mesa is because there is a working Mesa port to Windows already that does software rendering and an experimental RADV port.

  • SC Controller (the modernized fork) doesn't support anything other than Linux. On Windows, I have to run a super outdated version from 2020 that is missing support for newer controllers such as the DualSense.

    AMDGPU Mesa drivers are just better than the proprietary AMD drivers. There is experimental support for RADV in Windows, but nothing like the support that is on Linux.

    This is going to sound weird, but WINE sometimes has better support for legacy games/software than modern Windows does, and WINE is not available on Windows outside of something like WSL.

    I would also say KDE apps like Dolphin, Konsole, and Kate, but those have Windows builds.

  • End to end encrypted doesn't mean they don't potentially store a copy of the keys somewhere. With proprietary software, you never know what it's actually doing since you can't verify the code does what it says on the tin.

  • Privacytools.io actively promotes VPN services that advertise heavilly on YouTube, and have no good track record, like NordVPN (which is at the top of their list of VPNs), which leads me to believe that they are paid by NordVPN to promote their service.

    Mullvad (the most trustworthy VPN IMO in terms of track record) is at the bottom of their list.

    At the top of their main website, they also have Incogni as a recommendation with what looks to be a referral link. They also have a referral link for Startmail, Internxt (whatever that is), and probably others as well.

    On their front page: "Sponsors can be exempted from the criteria."

    Anyone trying to recommend privacy services who also accept sponsorships are not trustworthy.

    Also, on their crypto page, they recommend both AgoraDesk and LocalMonero, both of which shut down last year, which leads me to believe that some of their information is also out of date.

    When I look at PrivacyGuides, I see none of these issues, so I recommend PrivacyGuides over ptio. In fact, on their VPN page, not only do they recommend relatively trustworthy VPNs, but they also have a big red warning about VPN usage and what to expect in terms of privacy that ptio does not have.
