is it really that hard to write a report in LibreOffice instead of word? is that more that we can ask of our military top brass?
Don't fall for the whataboutism trap.

The big budget games are often the ones that people are playing. Sure there have been a few big flops as of late, but a huge number of people are playing that require kernel level anti-cheat and DRM that does not work on Linux.
There are also other issues around how well those games work. Some games will work perfectly fine. I am not disputing that. It is a bit of a lottery though e.g. I had annoying sound issues with Hell Divers 2 that was only fixed with an update to pipewire. Performance issues were solved by upgrading to Kernel 6.16.
On Windows I had to do literally nothing for the game to work perfectly (also don't believe some of YouTubers that are complaining HD2, their PCs were actually broken!).
Generally on Windows I have to do very little to get a game to work, outside of extremely old games from the late 90s/early 2000s.
This situation only exist because Microsoft would allow kernel level anti-cheat in the first place, which is a moronic feat wrt security.
I specifically put the OP in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), which is why it got re-upped (https://hnrankings.info/45469376/). Rather an odd way to suppress discussion, no?
We do see your comments, you know?

etc etc etc etc.
As you yourself put it there, you are happy to have moderation abuse pointed out but when I do, you just ban me.
Such a wasted potential and time to move on.
Yep.
And I was on Proton for 3y, until the CEO were backing Trump and Vance on Reddit and other places. Their port forwarding was also painful as well, but it worked.
Cancelled. PIA does the port forwarding nicely and stabily. No jank scripts to run every 60 seconds.
Now evidently PIA is a bunch of scum capitalists. But in reality, who isn't?
Mullvad? But they killed port forwarding for "abuse".

Something happened, but THAT didn't.

Are we allowed to discuss (edit: if it's not too political?) if Kape Technologies has any connections to Israeli security services, given the nature of VPNs and given the amount of data that can be trivially collected, and:
"Being from Israel, Teddy Sagi had connections with the Israeli military intelligence sphere and was able to procure himself a real-life cyber spy [his co-founder] from the famed Unit 8200 (kinda like Israel’s version of the NSA)" [0]
?

> Are you sure this isn't impression you've gotten from isolated reactions involving a small number of individuals, perhaps just a single individual?
Swedish here. The impression is common. Sweden is a small country and has long had a fairly cohesive culture. The culture has decided that digital payments are the way. Deviation from the collective way is always suspect.
> Swedish here. The impression is common.
Swedish here, too.
Your impression is misguided. Maybe it's the norm in Stockholm, but 80% of the population live elsewhere. We do use cash and nobody thinks its suspicious to pay with cash, stop making stuff up.

I’d say he’s correct, people under 60 that uses cash are considered, if not criminal, at least suspicious, like they have something to hide. Or simply wackos.
I haven’t used cash for the last 15 years or so. Except for when I had carpenters at home who wanted to get paid in cash (to avoid taxes, so called black money).
> people under 60 that uses cash are considered, if not criminal, at least suspicious, like they have something to hide
You are spewing complete nonsense.
Here's some perfectly normal stuff I use cash for in sweden on the regular:
- flea markets
- strawberry stand by the road
- unmanned vegetable shop has a cash bin and a pay-for-what-you-take sign
