The sad thing it, for streaming “stations”, Pandora still has the best algorithms and functioning (thumbs up/down only being applicable to that specific ‘station’).

It’s a shame they’ve neglected their apps and almost everything else about their business.

I’ve always been happiest with xfce4-terminal, though I’m using Konsole currently until XFCE fully supports Wayland.

Way back when, I was more than happy with rxvt.

Copilot can’t even suggest a single Ansible or Terraform task without suggesting invalid/unsupported options. I can’t imagine how bad it is at doing anything actually complex with an actual programming language.

XFS on my server VMs and my laptops and desktops.

ZFS on my file server. I’d use it on my laptops and desktops too (and have done when I was using Xubuntu) but I’ve switched toFedora which doesn’t come with a way to easily install with ZFS and I don’t feel like jumping through hoops to get it done. And I can’t stand btrfs. I don’t know what it is about it, but I just don’t like it.

I’m an old fogey who grew up reading physical books and newspapers but I absolutely need dark mode on backlit displays. I despise light mode.

I’ve been using FolderSync (Pro in my case) for many years to sync files (automatically and/or on-demand) from my phone to my Linux server.

AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike

Unless you have a monitor that requires HDMI 2.1 to get full resolution/refresh. Then it only works partially.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Linux, and I’ve been using it on my desktops/laptops for almost 30 years at this point.

But there are still issues to deal with on a regular basis, same as Windows or OSX.

That was the first thing I thought of.

Out of everything we have today, Discord is arguably the best we’ve got.

That’s amazingly depressing.

Because up until Broadcom bought them, it was a good product with a ton of useful features, endless supported integrations with 3rd party software and hardware, relatively easy to learn/use, with good support, all at reasonable and flexible price points depending on your needs.

Of course Broadcom has now thrown all of that into the toilet…

Steam had been making Linux pretty darn good for gaming too, even for games that are technically Windows only.

The problem isn’t them being in you LAN. It’s about going to an untrusted network (eg Starbucks, hotel) and connecting to your VPN, boom, now your VPN connection is compromised.

Of course you are, either it’s baked into the cost of the car, or you are paying for it in personal data. So it may be hidden, but you’re absolutely paying for it.

You had some fancy-ass McDonald’s in your area then. Ours has those flimsy tin/aluminum ashtrays.

That’s true of every study ever made, especially in today’s media environment.

And every probably done study includes acknowledgments of known shortcomings, most of the ones I’ve read include suggestions or thoughts about future studies that could be done to account for those known issues.

Media is to blame for most of the misinterpretations, not the studies themselves. It’s impossible to create a single, perfect study that can’t be misconstrued in some way.

Um. Those have existed for years.

I’ve been using a personal domain for over 20 years. I’ve never had a service reject my email domain.

The main point was always portability, and the ability to run NetBSD on basically ANYTHING.

So it sounds like basically it’s just client certificates?

I switched back to Firefox about 2 years ago, and I’ve only encountered a few sites that don’t work properly.

With the exception of ONE annoying SaaS site I need at work (which I might use a ton for a week then not again for weeks), I’ve only had to open a site in Chrome/edge maybe once a month. That includes running Firefox on my phone in addition to my work and personal desktop/laptops.
