Here you can find more info. I hope it’s helpful
- Comment on Russia says it might build its own Linux community after removal of several kernel maintainers. 2 weeks ago:
I mean, they can just pull the current kernel, add a few patches and say it’s their kernel.
Let’s be honest, cold war brought the space race, if this war brings the “year of Linux” race I’m not going to complain
- Comment on Russian TV companies demand 2 undecillion rubles from Google 2 weeks ago:
I imagine google operation in Russia is currently Ivan with a Chromebook. I guess Putin can nationalize it and call it a victory. Good knows he needs one (but the devil will collect)
- Comment on Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn 2 weeks ago:
tldr; Greenwashing/marketing mostly.

Carbon capture doesn’t make money. Selling the service of carbon capture does.
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 3 weeks ago:
Best part? It’s using your hardware and electricity to train the models.
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 3 weeks ago:
My company blocks screenshots (luckily we don’t have high definition cameras in or pocket at all times, else that would seem stupid) so I’m wondering what they will do if those are user accessible.

Year of Linux gaming when?
- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 3 weeks ago:
That’s a problem for HR if they have shitty retention.
- Comment on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - PC Announce Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Same. I’ll play it though, just not buy
- Comment on Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025 1 month ago:
I have free prime through my ISP. I still pirate the content. I started even before the full blown ads, when they had “previews” of other shows and movies.
- Comment on OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting 1 month ago:
Then don’t. Use only when you need it, or use literally any other free offering there is. This is not for you.
- Comment on OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting 1 month ago:
hosting the db in a network storage? That’s self hosting with extra steps.
- Comment on Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration 1 month ago:
You might be too young to remember, but DRM existed way before Steam, and the worse ones that exist today are the ones that the Devs/publishers add, not the steam one.
- Comment on It's coming! :( 1 month ago:
You’re correct, that’s why they are not maintaining a browser engine.
They are forks of Firefox with relatively small changes, like default configs, telemetry disabled or Firefox sync and pocket removed.
- Comment on It's coming! :( 1 month ago:
Librewolf, Mullvad, Tor, Snowwassel… There’s more than one Firefox. Surely if some fucked up AI integration was included, one of them would just disable it.
- Comment on Mozilla launches privacy friendly AI addon called "Orbit" 1 month ago:
- I don’t think this is the proper channel for feedback.
- Rude
- Fuck you. This is an optional extension for those who want to try. Do you want the final version of a piece of free software? Then you can go lie in a ditch because hopefully it will continue to evolved for years. It’s astonishing the entitlement of some people.
- Good local LLM that can run on most hardware is a very interesting project. Usually you need at least a GPU to get it to run. The fact that is only summarizing might be because it this.
- Comment on Mozilla launches privacy friendly AI addon called "Orbit" 1 month ago:
Considering how google is making chrome worse every day, they could do only security updates and still be the best browser.

*100 employees were fired too allocate budget for this sponsorship
- Comment on Samsung delivers 600-mile solid-state EV battery as it teases 9-minute charging and 20-year lifespan tech 3 months ago:
There are probably more asterisks than starts inn that statement.
Is 20 years the average? The maximum under ideal circumstances? What would be the effective capacity of the battery at 19 years? What is the maintenance required?
- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 3 months ago:
This is an rclone backend for Proton Drive which supports the file transfer features of Proton Drive using the same client-side encryption. Due to the fact that Proton Drive doesn’t publish its API documentation, this backend is implemented with best efforts by reading the open-sourced client source code and observing the Proton Drive traffic in the browser.
According you the page, no, you’re still wrong.

github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/…/protondrive.md#-i…
There’s no api, or there was, when rclone implement it.
- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 3 months ago:
They need a simple GUI on top of rclone. The madlads of rclone fucking reversed engineered the drive APIs in record time. Now imagine if they were to tosh some money into that project, and then could focus only in GUI.
- Comment on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows 3 months ago:
AFAIK, blue screen doesn’t mean kernel crash. Hell, windows crashing isn’t even rare.
Certification doesn’t mean it has Microsoft seal of approval either, only that it comes from a certified and approved vendor, with some checks at best.
Config files are not part of the driver, ever. How do you think you can change the settings of you GPU without asking Microsoft?
But hey, if you are so willing to blame Microsoft for the one time it’s not their fault, may I talk to you about our Lord Savior Linux? In my office we only knew because of the memes.
- Comment on Why is Google takeout so bitchy? 3 months ago:
Not sure if somebody mentioned, but you can export to one drive. So you can get a 1TB account for a free trial or for a single month and export everything there as simple files, no large zips. Then with the app download to the computer and then cancel one drive.
Pretend to be in California/EU and then ask full removal of all your data on both Microsoft and google
- Comment on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows 3 months ago:
The driver was signed, the issue was with a configuration file for that’s not part of the driver.
- Comment on Microsoft's Weather app now shows more ads 4 months ago:
I had been using Linux for home and work for the past 10 years, dual booting for games mostly (do basically only to use steam).
Recently I had to change jobs and was given a windows laptop. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the candy crush ad is still present on corporate devices. In a $3500 workstation from a fortune 50. What the hell.
I managed to get a Mac instead. IT is still laughing about me for asking Linux instead

This story is exclusively for subscribers of Notepad, our newsletter uncovering Microsoft’s era-defining bets in AI, gaming, and computing.
It’s worse than a paid ad. It’s an ad. You have to pay to see.
- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 5 months ago:
If I watch it on TV, computer, tablet or phone, I pirate it. Else, I pay.
Hell, I’m pirating Amazon even though I have Amazon Prime because of how crap the app is.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 5 months ago:
It’s not a legal thing. Is the message. “I’m not giving you any more access in the future because you broke our agreement.”
