Seriously... enough of this "oh well its not that bad, atleast we can still do this, or that. Maybe blockers will work but with less features, etc."

Fuck that shit

The extra [API] functionality already allows uBlock Origin on Firefox to work better than the Chrome version.

Always has been.

Tired of getting fucked by chr0me and g00gle? Stop spreading your cheeks and just use Firefox (librewolf, mull, et. al.) and uBlock Origin.

Simple as.

KISS launcher on minimal mode with nice icons and a geometric weather widget for me. Been rocking it for years and its amazing

Fuck Huy Fong Foods. Chinese-American businessman appropriates a traditional Thai sauce and uses marketing to brainwash the world into thinking they're the only ones that can make it. They tried to use their size to squeeze their longterm supplier and lost a $28 million judgement because they were objectively wrong as proven in a court of law.

They started their own shortage trying to fuck over farmers when they already had over $150 mil/year in sales and they deserve to die off.

The only meaningful impact we have against these predatory businesses is by voting with our dollars and if you cant give up a fuckin sauce that has hundreds of excellent options available from other companies then you are part of the problem.

No need to DIY, Anki has tons of flash cards packs to download for free for any language.

Anki + downloading ready made vocab packs is a nice tool in the toolbox. Wont teach you a language on its own but good for increasing your vocab.

I was looking at these too a couple days ago but cheapest option is like $500USD without batteries, camera, radio controller, etc. Half of them are so expensive you have to call for a price and shit.

Not exactly beginner pricing IMO when you may just crash it anyways

Seems to be doing it in the relevant community in an unobtrusive manner... I don't see an issue with getting the word out like this to like minded people

Having tried both popOS and manjaro I'd urge you to skip my trail and error and check out Nobara from the get go. Always found little naggling issues until I found Nobara

Well this looks amazing. Added to my wishlist on GOG in the hopes it goes on sale sometime since I need to not spend money right now

I agree their bottle/applicator is the GOAT. Can't go back to other brands after trying a bottle of loctite.

One sticky point that took me a bit to clue in to was you need to login to an x11 session not the default Wayland. Unless sunshine has been updated to support wayland, this was about Feb I discovered that.

To change just log out and select x11 in bottom left corner of the login screen. Dont forget to switch back next time if you arent using sunshine

Seems like an honest recommendation to me. You fit the apple use case pretty well, so if it works for you, great. I'd argue a stock pixel using stock android would be comparable in terms of not needing to mess with stuff since its a very curated experience, since google then controls the hardware and software, like apple.

The trade off is you're giving google (or apple) 100% access and control to everything you do on your phone.

With a fairphone or any other android with (e, grapheneOS, calyxOS, lineage, etc) you WILL need to change some settings, maybe play around with it a bit to get it working how you want, but you are the one in control. Its really not that difficult to develop the small amount of technological knowledge needed given the amount of help available online and I'd say its a necessary life skill these days just like learning to use a computer became a necessary life skill.

np, glad it helped

I used to agree but after finding Kirkland hazelnut spread at costco i've switched to that. Its palm oil free and every bit as delicious as nutella.

I found onlyoffice to have the best compatibility with documents imported from/exported to MS Office. For most people, their coworkers/teachers/professors or whatever will be using MS office, and if the formatting is borked everytime you move the file between libreoffice and ms office users, it gets old fast. That was my experience with libre office and why I ended up on onlyoffice. Of all the suites i've tried it has the best compatibility between itself and ms office for formatting.

Since you already have a pixel you should seriously look at grapheneOS.

I have a gulikit king kong pro 2 (I think I got the name right). Been using it about a year now, works good on linux (Nobara). Has various modes for different consoles and phones and hall effect sensor sticks (which wont have stick drift) which was the motivation for trying it, along with the lower price compared to the official Xbox controller. Came with a nice hard case and rechargeable lithium too.

Been pleasantly surprised so far.

Check out logseq for journaling. You could easily make a #mood page/tag and it auto organizes it for you

Have you tried AnySoftKeyboard? It has solid word predictions and the swiping works great... available on fdroid

You should give AnySoftKeyboard a spin. Has word suggestions that are really good and the swiping works really well too

Yep sounds like firewall issue to me. Allow the ports eric mentioned in his comment thru firewall and it should work
