Buddy, this is a linux post not a windows one

However, if they say ‘okay guys, we heard you, one more year of support!’. This way they could farm so much PR points its insane.

Cant guess which one they will choose tbh.

Yeah, the start menu ads were / are ‘only’ in the beta build.

Yeah, Codeberg’s UI is almost the same as github, its good tbh.

P.S. i came to the conclusion that codeberg/github UI is good, when i went to sourcehut. Holy crap, my mind couldnt comprehend what am i looking at. (Could be a skill issue tho)

For windows you dont need to buy it, you can activate it using microsofts own tools, its on github (dont remember its name right now.)

As for linux, i would recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed, it is fresh, and the best part about it is that whenever you update the system, it creates a snapshot, so if the update had some kind of undesired sideeffects, you can just startup the old version. (These snapshots only effect the system’s packages, your apps will keep their state iirc. My brother uses tumbleweed and he is very content with it.)

Holdup, what did the tumblr CEO do? Havent heard about that, im curious.

Yeah, if there is one thing that windows 11 does well is looks. I think its fancy.

So, this means Proton is not private either? Any product you pay for cannot be private?

There is a difference between anonimity and privacy.

Yeah kind of, but the CEO needs to learn that not everyone will like their products, you cant convince everyone.

The person said that they dont want to engage with the discussion, then the CEO should have just let it be.

I actually dont understand why news and such written blogs stopped with sponsors. I dont want tracking pixels, autoplaying videos and all that bullshit. Have a static small paragraph with a referral link, thats it.

For example on adventofcode, there was a static ad for spotify job application. This is an ad which i can advocate for. Creator of the site gets money, the ad is not intrusive, and it targets programmers who would just naturally navigate to this site.

Yeah, but until then we can support these projects. Even a one-time 10€ donation can go a huge distance, or monthly 1€ even. These add up.

P.S. To any open source devs, please allow us to donate yearly recurring 10-15€! There are so many projects to support, but i have to live from something as well.

Even if you agree with something, you can play the ‘devils advocate’ and say what is wrong. You need to look at both sides.

I for example despise Apple. But i gotta admit their phones are pretty good if you just want a smartphone. Or if everything you have is apple, then the ecosystem is really nice.

Try to understand the other side, and be the opposing person. So these conversations can happen.

Stop it! You make android look good, oh no!

/s

Yeah, this extension is crazy good. It works as if it was native.

While I agree, but i tried Brave Search for a few weeks, and it seemed pretty good.

I wouldnt use Brave Browser, because Vivaldi is there (if you need Chromium.) But for a search engine which is free? DuckDuckGo maybe?

P.S. Kagi search is pretty good if you are willing to pay.

Holdup! I genuinely like this idea! On first startup it could ask for it, whether you would like to see this or not.

What they could do as well, is host their on git (forgejo is the name i think) and this donation built in. Basically what github is doing but without microsoft.

I still use spotify as well. It works for me, i just found like 10 new songs last week. At the same time, last year i listened 2hrs/day on average.

BUT at the same time, every few months i export my whole playlists, just in case, using this site.

It should be fine I think. On Linux you can have multiple Desktop Environments installed (ex KDE Plasma & Gnome as well.)

I tried Hyprland a few months ago like this. I had Plasma installed then installed hyprland as well. During login with SDDM you can select which DE to launch.

Edit: On github it says you should install it alone to make sure. I dont know then, maybe it works? I am still new to Linux as well.

Im using the Xiaomi Mi9t as well. Straight from MIUI to Android 14 custom ROM with Niagara Launcher. Its so awesome. I still love that there isnt any notch or hole on the screen.

Here is a great list: https://github.com/nyas1/Material-You-app-list

Then you could search it up on Droidify or use Obtainium.
