So this is interesting… My favorite of the definitions of “opinion” I found is

belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

Because I was about to say that it’s impossible not to have an opinion, which might not be entirely correct.

In DBT we were told that there are helpful, consequential and inconsequential ehm… evaluations? Assessments? Judgments? I don’t know the exact translation. Anyway, an important thing I realized then was that opinions/values etc are not something you form consciously, they just kinda pop up in your head and change shapes depending on what you learn and experience. You are able to detach from your opinions, look at them from the outside.

edit: so what I ultimately wanted to tell you is that you can do this detachment thing with other people’s opinions as well.

What do you mean by that? You don’t lose gaming performance when you use win10 over win11. Why would you?

There’s Windows 10 LTSC, which gets security updates til 2027. And IoT Enterprise LTSC, which gets security updates until 2032.

“But should you even use those versions?!? They are not meant to be installed on a desktop PC/laptop” - idk, it’s either this or Win11.

For more info on how to install, check https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

I wish they would stop releasing updates and DLC for Stellaris, so the modders have a version they can tinker with.

Yeah I do have a similar fear. Valve is something special. I tried to hate them, they’re filthy-rich corpos after all, but I can’t. Something of value will be lost when Valve finally succumbs to enshittification, which cannot be said of a lot of other big companies.

But my fear isn’t necessarily about Steam. I have like 20-30 games in my library. Steam is simply the least shit way to play games you have/want to pay for.

why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens?

Corporations have this knack too. Everybody in power does. It’s just that one privately owned corporation can only reach so far.

The battery life is interesting. Everything else, yawn

Wake me up when there’s a new, more efficient APU and they stop marketing better displays, more memory and USB while not even having trackpads.
