It is serious long term for 1/5 people.

COVID being no big deal is just a lie society agreed on for convenience.

"As a human I'm aligned with this companies mission and values" - me practicing

How do you square your take with the dissenting judges that say it effectively makes the president king?

I agree.

Imagine a world where Chrome doesn't exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won't listen to your reasons why they shouldn't use chrome or say "I don't need privacy, I have nothing to hide".

It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I'm for that.

However I'll be monitoring them very very closely.

Didn't this "meme language" ship in a recent Linux kernel?

It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.

People who don't understand what an OS is typically use linux mint fine because they just open chrome or Firefox.

A good start that allows you to pin/ban sites from search results, order by least ad trackers, search the small web, and more:

Its paid, which can be seen as ridiculous but for me it helps me be confident im not the product.

I just never agreed to the terms of my smart TV because their privacy policy is horrid.

Been fine 3 or so years and counting.

This comment betrays a technical misunderstanding.

Not only is it possible, but designing games from the ground up in this way makes it easier for developers to test and make robust software.

I don't know if matrix checks all of these boxes yet... but a discord contender built on matrix would be a dream.

Firefox sync will do the same without spying on you.

Thank Google for killing xmpp.

On steam deck I switched to plasma mobile primarily because of how bad the gnome onscreen keyboard is.

The first messenger without user IDs

Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers.

This radically improves your privacy.

And Wayland accessibility is very bad.

Yes, but one of our promises is real... Just a real pain in the ass sometimes.

The amount teams sucks justifies using something else.

Yeah... But Sherman

What does this mean?

Being an introvert who's great at socializing means you don't have problems socializing but it drains your energy.

Strong assumptions can sometimes get in the way of understanding.

For instance you say "I'm in the middle of work, why would they interrupt me".

There seems to be a strong assumption that the other person believes as you do that getting work done is the most important thing at work.

In my experience though, forming relationships for future connections and ensuring work is tolerable to enjoyable is more important to most than getting work done.

You can change the color.

You don't install piped or individious, they are websites you simply navigate too:

Or you even can install a firefox extension to redirect all youtube links automatically for you. Here is one that has minimal permissions required:

Has it been proven to work offline and that once online it doesn't upload your offline activity?

NixOS, and hopefully soon SnowflakeOS which makes it more approachable for more casual users.

https://snowflakeos.org/

Another user mentioned Guix, which I'd like to try soon to compare to NixOS.

It's hard to compete with how much there is in nixpkgs though... as much as I... a professional Haskell programmer... hate to acknowledge the realities of network effects.

This pushes games further toward kernel level software that has complete control over your computer so it can scan your hardware to make sure you aren't using a cheating tool like this monitor.

I like how you say that as if its impossible.

I stopped buying things off of Amazon many years ago because they don't respect privacy and are unethical.

Probably logseq or Obsidian, but... if you like plain text and really need customization you might go with what I use: emacs + org-roam

Don't look at the list when anxious ;)

What I mean is I set up text to speech to read items scheduled on my todo list.

So if stuck on couch, I hear the todo read out loud.

This is 95% effective medicated, 10-60% unmedicated.

The other thing I found is the overwhelm comes from so many things.

Experiment with only letting 1, 3, 5 etc items be visible at a time. I sometimes go as far as saying top 3 are must do, 12 or however many remaining are optional.

Also also play your favorite video game sound like Mario coin when a todo is completed.

Observe your coworkers carefully and see how many really work 7 hours per day.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

No way them resigning would have gotten this level of publicity, but you know that.

You just want to prevent people from doing things that annoy you by pretending they are ineffective.

I don't know about flatpak. I have a high tolerance for annoyance but configuring flatpak permissions right was annoying.

YouTube shorts recommendations suck.

That flickering, is it only on Wayland? I'm on 6.7 and have flickering on Wayland but not X11.

Virtualenvs for everything that don't duplicate resources and are reproducible.

I use Wayland on NixOS too and everything works fine except slight flickering in games.

I think it'll be fixed soon though and I can fully move to Wayland.

The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.

Isn't package.json for controlling what dependency versions people install with?

I think I'm missing something.

I agree. I literally just journaled 1000 words because of a very small issue I fixated on that a larger issue was hiding behind.

Took 15 min, but now i'm productive again.

The graph literally demonstrates the enshittification.
