The local newspapers in my area send each candidate in every race a form of question that they then print. Typically it is very easy to tell which candidates understand what the that form is, there are those that don't understand, and then there are ones that don't return it. It's makes choosing much easier for me. I'll still pull of websites and check past news articles for each one I am considering.
Support your local newspapers!
Even heavy gamers are getting a much better experience on Linux these days (yay Proton!). There are a couple of anti-cheat systems that are still trouble some, but honestly if the developers don't want to to put in the much smaller amount of effort to make it work on Linux, I don't want to give them my money.

Internet archive, and a chunk of r/datahoarders, is built for that purpose. Just as people have saved old paintings (aka media) it's also good for us to save significant pieces of our current culture. Old VHS tapes and CDs are already disappearing. Sometimes finding something is just a little bit more difficult and it's only going to get worse.
Not really with ATT fiber anymore. The fiber goes straight into their router to authenticate. There is no option for me to purchase an equivalent piece of equipment. I am forced to pay to use their equipment. Fuck ATT.
The back log is great and still very watchable.
The launcher for War Thunder was a p2p client for sharing game files. It worked really well and was essentially it's own CDN. Not sure if it still is.
FFS. My first GPU was an ATI 9250. My knees are fine thank you!
Content and data is shared between instances.
Suck MY wang!
You are commenting on a LemmyNet post from the shit just works instance. I am replying from a LemmyNet account on lemmy.world. It could also happen that someone from a Mastodon instance could reply to this comment. Everyone can have their account on a specific instance (even self-hosting their own instance) and still be able to see content from other websites. There is no singular website that hosts all data and there is no singular authority (ok maybe you could argue the developers of the software, but it's also open source and other options do exist so it's not a true single point of authority) for the entire network.
Really? I find python imports to work very similar to cpp in practice.
If these CVEs didn't expose a router that doesn't get updates, many others already have. OpenWRT might be more secure than OEM firmware.
I updated an internal library from 77 to 90 last week. We're working quickly these days!
There's a classical station in Dallas that calls their programming music with context. And they're right! When there's a good DJ in the booth you will end up learning something about the music being played.
I found this one a while back for the purpose of having a local copy of what I've put in my playlists. https://github.com/caseychu/spotify-backup
Wind and solar have relatively short material lifespans that are expensive or impossible to recycle. It's all a double edged sword. There is no single solution that will work everywhere on this planet.
Check out FidoNet for another example of federation.
Running all of the web services at scale takes a chunk of money. Even Matrix has a paid tier to cover the costs of running the servers for the paying customers. The free tier performs as expected for being free and not ad supported. It's not extra skimming if I end up with fewer annoying things in my face and some neat tricks to use when communicating with my friends.
Giving up those rights for anything your input into a commercial Internet service is fairly standard. All that AI data came from somewhere. Not saying it's a good thing, just that it's not atypical.
Data density in UX has been downhill since Microsoft Office added the ribbon in 2007.
I'll toss 2 mobile games on the list. Desert Golf and Golf on Mars. No ads. No stupid paid trinket nonsense. Just a couple bucks for the game and a very chill and casual 2D golf game.
Usually you would go the other way around. Merge changes into git and then distribute from there.
Golf on Mars and Desert Golfing. Super simple. No ads. Its just 2D golf that keeps on going with any gimmicks.
