Reddit is terrible as a website. But it still has the communities that developed there over years, and they are an invaluable resource. They are definitely positioning themselves to pull a Digg, but until the Reddit-killer comes along with a mass exodus (and it doesn't look like it's gonna be Lemmy unfortunately) access to those communities will entail dealing with reddit.
Once they are cheaper and more durable I'll buy one. Its still a new form factor that hasn't been perfected yet, but that doesn't mean its wrong for manufacturers to keep at it
Sadly no, ever web app company definitely doesn't test under Firefox. I'm at the point where I use Firefox for general web browsing and Chromium for most web apps.
You don't have to use any software from Proton VPN, they will allow you to download openvpn and wireguard config files so you can set up your own client. Takes some more effort to do it right, yes, but its a good option if you're up for it.
Speak for yourself, I've been prepared to submit detailed bug reports before the process in place to do so turned me off.
Check out the GPD Pocket/Mini PC lineup, they have pocket sized laptops that can run Linux. Not sure about water resistantce, think you can get some or all of their options with a cell network module.
And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp's silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.
Ah, so I fell for reactionary bs assuming that a fairly well written article had good information? Dammit. =P Thanks for the info, that sounds a lot more plausible to me.
I agree with you overall, but not your final conclusion. There are some distros with a history of security problems, like Manjaro. And some smaller distros may have a development team with a higher probability of shipping bugs, stability issues, or again security problems. So doing a little research on any distro of interest would be a good idea before installing.
I'd reccomend searching for "(distro) security problems", "(distro) bugs", and " (distro) controversies" before settling on an option.
9/11, yes, but what human rights did we lose from covid? Having to wear a mask for a while? Or being heavily encouraged to get a vaccine? ...
It would be nice if they fixed their app so that when I set it to always dark mode, it actually stays in always dark mode. I don't have much faith in UI improvements when that bug has plagued me for literally years, across Android versions and devices. But now the colors that suddenly blind me when it changes from dark to light will be different, yay?
On Linux KVM is what people use for this. Not an option in VirtualBox.
Yes! It is beautiful and easy to work with, very much my tool of choice for coding.
Better handling, better turn radius, better stability control. Definitely correct in saying it adds more to maintainence, though.
Awesome :) I think I shall set this up in Termux later for one more on the go music option.
Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.
Either go with working through textbooks on your own, as has been stated by others, but that approach requires tons of discipline as the subject matter can get quite dry and frustrating at times. Or, I'd say ideally, enroll in courses at a local community college. The one I went to had four calculus classes, linear algebra and differential equations, along with statistics and I believe some kind of math programming course (my have just been part of other classes). So you cab get into fairly advanced stuff going that route.
If you want to learn even more after that, you'll have a solid basis to continue self study. Hell, you might even have a good start towards a bachelor's in math.
On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn't been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don't have some level of confidence in that, I'd rather not rely on the tool.
This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn't being updated.
Keep in mind that what you find painful, some people find fun :)
They could have a partnership with xfinity to use all those "open" WiFi networks, for one. Or some other sneaky way of sending data.
Works fine, I have two smart TVs I did that to.
I've used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I've never heard of them being "known for" the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I'd be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you're saying.
I have a 6a, which I tolerate for GrapheneOS. The battery life is absolutely terrible.
Hard to say. Information is valuable in any type of economy, so it may be more to do with where public concensus lies on privacy issues, and the competency/trustworthiness of oversight.
No, the PWA thing is a separate annoyance. What I find is that in a lot of web apps, the app mostly works fine but has bugs that break certain things or are seriously inconvenient in Firefox only. Two I've experienced recently are Nextcloud Office slideshows (I need to search for/open a bug report honestly) and a web based billing software we use at work.
Yeah, they are a cool company that has been serving this niche market for a long time.
Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That's enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.
Yeah, Jerboa has been a buggy mess the entire time I've used it and this finally got me to try Voyager. 10,000x better experience. I know developing an app is not easy and I hope Jerboa can get through its growing pains, but Voyager is great right now.
That's good information. I already had a setup for openvpn, so I just plugged in their ovpn files and kept going.
VM detection that I've run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven't ran any tests to verify).
Fair. My understanding is that not all of their lineup is equally Linux friendly. I had the original GPD pocket, which IIRC had a official Linux image. I didn't even use that image, and had a functional Ubuntu install. Their newer devices are more mature from a hardware perspective, so it may be worth some research on those regarding features and Linux compatibility.
Lol, if you like. I don't support Google at all (at least, the violation of privacy rights). But I can see why their behavior happens, and it's more to do with corruption and apathy. I blame the average person more than Google, because if it wasn't tolerated (I.e., people in general gave the slightest shit) or privacy laws were enforced and/or written for the digital age, it wouldn't happen. And since it is tolerated, companies that don't participate are largely outcompeted by those that do.
I am viscerally disgusted by where privacy is at in the digital age, but at this point, no, I don't see it as a problem with any particular tech company.
There's no point in hating Google. Hate the systemic inadequacies that allow their abuse, and those of other tech giants, to not only thrive but become borderline mandatory for success at that level.
That is insane. Straight up blacklisting popular software because they don't want people to look too closely at what they purchased. It's amazing what the public is willing to accept, just such a constant stream of reports about bad behavior from companies that most people can't find the energy to care.
