Just keep shoving those words in my mouth I guess. Blocked.

Dude can you please stop yelling about “blue maga”? You’re acting like voting Democrat is worse than voting Republican.

Right, because he definitely didn’t also increase material support and restart weapons orders that Biden had cancelled.

… Did you forget how Trump said we were literally going to clean out Gaza and make it into a resort once he was in the office? You’re being very disingenuous.

Do you not realize that Bush literally established the Guantanamo Bay DC? The modern GOP are just running plays from Bush and Reagan’s books.

Right and Windows’ direction is so clear and not hype-driven at all

Choosing to produce generic and soulless music for profit isn’t a good reason to dislike a band?

Have you tried recently? We’ve been pretty much at parity for years now. Almost every game that doesn’t run is because the devs are choosing to make it that way.

I think we all know this, but it’s the exact same argument for Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn. Getting off centralized, corporate, for-profit cloud services should be a priority for anyone who is philosophically aligned with FOSS.

I’ve been enjoying Tauon, it does the things I want

Deluge is another good client – I’m not sure why but its defaults gave me much better download speeds than transmission or qbittorrent

What in the terms is concerning? They still have the bulk of the language in the old data privacy guarantee as well. This seems like they just got a more circumspect legal department who wants to cover their ass.

It’s always been the case that Mozilla could decide to just make Firefox suck ass. Again, I’ll be worried when they actually change the terms to something unacceptable.

Okay mr “I love Linux but clearly have not used it in 15 years”

No thanks

Still Firefox. Every time Mozilla does anything the entire privacy community goes insane. The terms of use they published seem entirely benign, and the only thing anyone can actually point to is the “direction being worrisome”. Well, I’ll get worried when they update the terms to be actually onerous. Everything even possibly annoying can be disabled, and it’s still the only browser engine offering competition against Chrome ruling the web.

It sucks ass, it’s just chrome plus some crypto bullshit.

See my top-level comment; even if they’re ready for the complexity, it doesn’t protect you from a similar mistake!

Last week I accidentally overwrote my configuration.nix file with garbage. If you use NixOS this should fill you with horror. If you don’t, that file contains a description of your entire system – all the packages as well as many settings tweaks to anything from GUI apps to core kernel & systemd options.

I have now learned my lesson and started using git to track my changes. Tbh, I was naively expecting to be able to roll back to a previous config and pull out my configuration file, but that’s not how it works. Happily I had already split out the most difficult to reproduce sections into their own files (mostly networking stuff), so it wasn’t that catastrophic, but it still turned a few minutes of tinkering into a couple hours of forehead-smacking.

The space becomes less and less of an issue the more of your system is in flatpaks, as any shared dependencies won’t be duplicated.
