I’m lost.

there is around 193 countries in the world

All of which are out of my reach. Lol.

hosted in a territory that doesn’t require these “security” measures

And then what do we do once everyone does these measures? There will be nowhere to run.

Exactly.

Ubuntu

Ew.

I don’t think they were referring to capping their uploads, but to capping their upload speeds.

True, but tbf the rate helps the ratio, especially for those that don’t seed indefinitely.

Exactly this. I have great download speeds, but shit upload. Like, we’re talking 175 Mb/s down but only like 10 Mb/s up.

So, I typically limit my speed to 10 KiB/s (0.41 Mb/s) whenever my spousy is home so as not to hog the bandwidth. Lol.

So nothing has changed then. Gotcha. 👍

Oh okay. Thanks.

Sorry, I’m OOTL. What happened? 🤨

Oh they don’t? Huh… TIL.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll update my comment. 👍

You can press PrtSc to take a screenshot.

Edit: Apparently, rendering issues often don’t get included in a screenshot, which is definitely different than I expected. So, screenshots may or may not be viable for this context. If the latter, then apologies. 👍

As others have said, the general rule is simple: if it no longer runs what you want it to run, upgrade.

For example, I have an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU. It’s no longer that new, it’s like 5+ years old at this point. But most of the games I play are at least 10 years old—I think the newest, and most graphically intense, game I own is Cyberpunk 2077—and my GPU runs them just fine.

So, why would I spend hundreds of dollars on a new GPU when it’s still wholly functional for my needs?

Ooh that’s a good point. I mean, not Linux Mint because as thanksforallthefish said below it’s not a Mint-supported DE but I actually installed Arch (btw) with the KDE Plasma DE onto an old laptop I have and yeah it definitely gives early-2010s OS X vibes. :)

That’s legit.

I hate GNOME because it feels like an iPhone.

That’s fair.

I don’t know much about what Ubuntu is doing but it surely can’t be that bad.

You would be surprised.

Yeah…

See, I used to like Ubuntu, but then Canonical had to ruin it for me by betraying the principles that Linux stands for.

Ubuntu is a shadow of its former self, and it saddens me. :(

You know, I can see that.

Still, mac users use macs because they just want the computer to work.

And the Cosmic DE is rather new so can be a bit buggy from time to time. It might look mac-friendly, but its stability is still largely untested so caution may be advised before recommending it in my opinion.

Can confirm. I’ve used FitGirl for years and countless games and have never once had an issue with malware. She seems pretty reliable on that front.
