I’m sure more people would delete Brave if they started to apply the same standards they do for Firefox
Oh, you should just disable the rewards the cryptowallet the ads on the homepage and ignore all the nonsense they did in the past, then it’s greaaaaat
With default settings it will wipe your history and cookies on exit
(Which I happen to forget about every single time I install it on a new machine, I hate this default with a passion)
Then there’s disabled WebGL, which you also have to reenable on a bunch of sites. Not too hard, but probably annoying for some
I’ve answered to a sibling comment, but I’ll duplicate here. Hydra is not read-only and works really well on iOS.
I’ve listened to him quite a lot in ~2010, then learned about his YouTube channel when it started popping off, but only recently made the connection that it’s the same person.
I went to look at his Wiki page now, and apparently he also released music as Acidwolf, Human Action Network, and FlexE. TIL as well!
wishing it was illegal is slightly different from it actually being illegal
He also has a huge backlog of music as The Flashbulb
I’ll take things that didn’t happen for 500

It was bound to happen, since they started testing it more than a year ago. While I really hate this decision, I hate the linked blog more. It’s populist SEO slop that exists to advertise “that privacy guy”'s consultancy services. Measuring environment impact of the downloads, that’s your chosen angle here? Bleh.
i really like trackpads and custom bindings for older games on Deck and I wanna have the same on my TV, so I can sit next to my gf and not alone by my desk
I just realized this almost reads like a Terramaster ad, that’s not my goal; you can search for similar options from other fabricants.
I don’t mind that, I’m actively looking for recommendations. I also got pointed to https://www.minisforum.com/products/n5-air, but that one is 500 with no RAM at all, which is quite hefty.
So far I’m leaning towards trying to assemble something generic from used components, though I’m not quite sure what to pick best, motherboard being the hardest one.
As for TrueNAS - I might check it out if I do get off the shelf NAS, but I don’t imagine I’ll be using the Web UI much, to be honest. And I know about Jellyfin, I’m sticking to Plex just because I already have a lifetime Plex Pass and I like the app on my TV. If they keep shoving “community” features down my throat though - I’ll do the switch.
same. I’ll use vi if there’s nothing else available, but I default to nano if I can
ECC is not a hard requirement for me, but if I can get it - I’ll try to, as to me it makes sense for something that runs 24/7 and handles my personal data.
I have a very strong aversion to separating storage from my server. I just don’t see why I need to route power and network to 2 small boxes (none of which would do what I need it to do on its own + considering very crappy room layouts in rented apartments) and then fiddle with network access, when 1 slightly bigger box would do what I need it to do. Some 7-8 years ago I’ve bought dirt cheap second-hand Huananzhi x79 with Xeon E5 and DDR3-ECC with some low profile NVIDIA GPU and it all still works now - and something like that would mostly be OK for me even now (except I left it in another country).
That said, it’s possible a reasonably powerful NAS will be enough for me on its own?
storage box and a services box
That’s exactly what I want to avoid though. I see no reason to power and network 2 different small boxes when just one slightly bigger one will do. And as mentioned - 500 is without HDDs, I plan to use the ones I have for now and extend it later.
so - yes, there is a bypass for an indefinitely enabled apk installation with the annoyance of 24 hour wait when you first get the phone.
not great though, I agree.
Ahh, I was wondering why there’s a Projects next to my projects, I thought I just made a typo at some point
Most likely your software will work via bottles or wine
No, for the examples above it will not. Quite a lot of professional software will not run under wine (and a lot of hobbyists use professional software) - games work particularly well because they mostly do their own thing and depend less on Windows-specific APIs. And if you use a VM via Winboat then you’re just using Windows in the background, which is a workaround, but kinda defeats OP’s argument that there’s “no difference”.
To be clear: I’m daily driving Linux and I’ve not booted into Windows for more than a year. But it’s just wrong to say that they are on par with each other for a lot of usecases.
that leaves browsers,
That leaves audio production (with a bunch of Windows-only plugins), video production, photo editing, CAD…
Sure, you can re-learn your entire stack and get by, but that’s a far shot from “ridiculously little difference”. Dropping familiar complex piece of software like Ableton is a hard sell for folks (and it’s OK).
If there’s anything to learn here it’s that you absolutely can follow in Ross’s footsteps and organize a movement that will fight for what you deem important. He said multiple times “I’m doing this only because nobody else does, not because I’m a good fit for this”.
“let’s not do this because it’s not as important as X” is a bad argument, because the alternative is not that Ross suddenly picks some other topic and starts to drive it, the alternative is that nothing happens at all.
I remember loving it, might’ve been my first roguelike. I should boot it up again…
