  • You choice of language already has a great impact on uniqueness. You can’t (practically) become less unique than browser wanting stuff in English.

    Resolution? Might be really bad, if say you use a smartphone with 20.5:9 aspect ratio or something. Speaking of: Performance is also a factor. If your device uses a rare SoC with measurably different speed than others, that’s some uniqueness right there.

    Now, you (presumably) have very strict privacy settings. That alone makes you more unique, because who really cares, right? And for example blocking region specific ads can be really, really bad in terms of uniqueness.

    EFF’s website explains a bit about what they use. Refer to that to get a better idea about what makes you unique.




  • I don’t hate Windows for work. On the clock, I am balls deep in their ecosystem and I can’t say that it’s not working. However, that’s probably because I get it mostly set-up by IT!

    Casual reminder that on Windows, it’s the norm to go fetch packages from the fucking internet using a web browser and give them root access to your system, including drivers…
    A lot of settings are still scattered as well, with stuff randomly hidden away, completely unconfigurable or named so it’s not at all clear what it even does.

    For everyday stuff like browsing, I totally do not see why people would want to use Windows.

    If it wasn’t for (some) ((multiplayer)) games and other Windows-only software, I wouldn’t recommend this OS to anyone at this point.
