4 months agoAs a daily Fedora user, this is annoying. I totally support the push for open-source, but enabling RPM Fusion on new installs to do standard stuff is a royal pain in the butt that will immediately turn off new users.

9·5 months agoFor my sins, I do dual boot Windows 10. Though with wine and proton I reckon I can get ~80-90% of games to work.
I’d love to go 100% Linux, and I do my best to only buy games that support Linux. But there are sadly some old games and multiplayer games with friends that I still can’t quite convince to work.
2·5 months agoAlways gonna note too that Google Chrome (and chromium + derivatives to a lesser extent) kneecaps adblock plugins so that up to 50% fewer ad domains are blocked, blocklists are out of date, many in-page ads can’t be caught, it’s slower, and invisible trackers can bypass it.
The other 7.8 billion of us on this planet would have the biggest objection to “lbs”
2·5 months agoHonestly, best of luck and it would be amazing if you succeeded. Sadly I think actively supporting this requires a lot more faith in electoralism than I have.
I accepted after the Corbyn era that neither the Labour party nor the media care to actually hold politicians they like responsible for anything, including popular demand. Get 100k signatures and you’ll get what you always get, a lame excuse and then you’ll be ignored. Or even if Starmer came out today and said “Lying is okay”, would that stop a Labour win? I doubt it.
While I am usually resistant to change, I remain ever vigilant to try not be that XKCD guy
32·5 months agoIt’s already been proven that piracy is a causal factor in more sales. Any self-interested dev should be promoting piracy of their game.
Windows -> Fedora
Been almost 10 years and no thoughts of changing. What can I say? I lucked out first time.
Whenever I’m asked for help by IT colleagues, I never say I’ll help solve an issue. I just say “Sure, I’ll come help stare at it for a while” - it’s the most I can really promise.

In Europe, these blocks are typically just IP bans, so secure DNS no helpy. You need a VPN or other proxy.
FWIW, if you’re in Europe, you have guaranteed rights to refund online purchases within a timeframe. I’m assuming they’ve factored that in, but worth knowing if not.
2·9 months agoNo? I’ve already said what it’s about, and I’m not eager to repeat myself 'cause I feel vague meanyness.
It’s not about a lack of features.
We essentially have three different browsers, that definitively isn’t “lots and lots”. Every year they get together and agree on what measures can be foisted upon all users with or without their support. The rest are very little more than reskins of each other.
Install Firefox with default settings > Look at your new tab page. They’re all sponsored ads.
Firefox on mobile collects data and sends it off for marketing purposes, this can’t be turned off.
Forces ads in my face via Firefox. Sometimes promotes commercial control of the internet. Is borderline for-profit at this stage with all the moneygrubbing and issues that comes with.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re the best of the lot by a long long way, but they’re still problematic.
To be honest, I think the internet is in desperate need of an alternative to the Chrome/Mozilla/Safari trio. Why can I can no longer get a browser that doesn’t shove ads in my face and/or track my every move?
I know this isn’t being designed as a browser for everyone. But I’m pleased to see making a web browser isn’t an un-enterable area yet.
Heck yeah. I may give this a go.

I don’t know what kind of spells these would be but I fear the wizard who knows them.
