  What choice do we have?

  We use Chrome in any number of different costumes, or we tiptoe sites that deliberately break when using Firefox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought it on release day and got bored quickly.

  I picked it back up two years ago and I played all the way through to the end.

  Now I don’t have much to do but play the expeditions and hunt for my favorite ships.

  Currently I’m spacing bases out across each galaxy. It’s still quite fun, and if you didn’t complete the main story I think it’s worth the purchase.

  I wish they’d get their security in order.

  It would be the perfect Graphene phone if they did.

  I wouldn’t consider it so. Imo it has a different intended use case.

  Similar to a a VPN’s server, if a TOR exit node is compromised, so is your traffic.

  However, TOR is significantly slower than just torrenting over a VPN. It speed loss could make a 15min download take 6-8hours. For a movie that could be a few gbs in size it would take even longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I got started in high school, broke high school me shucked drives from used computers.

  A lot of people throw away perfectly good computers. Or sell them for very cheap because they take up space.

  Those reject computers, if you find the right one, could have 500gb-2gb ssds in them that are perfect for media server usage.

  So they can sell them for even more thanks to scarcity I’m guessing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Its contextual, and cab be both :)

  I use it for thank you as well. But OP asked about apologies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am looking for a Linux OS⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fedora KDE is what I use and recommend.

  Its easy, to setup, no frills, reliable and very easy to use with a just gui if you’re not into the terminal.

  If, and only if, this is not your primary computer. Eg, it’s only for gaming, I’d recommend Bazzite.

  Bazzite is great and I use it on our couch pc for a true console experience. I call it “our better Xbox”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In America I do the turn signal hint as well. It seems no one gets the context, even when I can tell by their behavior (body language)?

  That they desperately want to pass, and I want them to pass before I do (left lane is open).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people follow and likely understand the manual hazard lights.

  Two blinks in the tempo of “I’m sorry”.

  I’ve made mistakes before and did so, sometimes they flash one quick blink of high beams to acknowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s incorrect. Google’s Android has several industry leading security features the iPhone doesn’t support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Android also has lockdown mode

  Is this one fully open source? Or is it still “well open source when we can”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand TikTok to be the bastion of communication and community for Gen Z.

  But so much of the content is uncreative. The same songs and sound effects to some stupid reaction video.

  That said, I do hope TikTok crashes and burns so the new owner loses on their bid. And I do really hope Gen Z can collectively find a new platform to communicate on freely because TikTok has been a force for them just as Twitter and Reddit was for Millenials.

  I realize my tone could be misinterpreted, my intention was to support your comment on the new model and how it can look like a step backward compared to previous models.

  My intention was not to refute your comment. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They literally had the small bezel and the camers on top in a previous XPS model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got my XPS 9360 because it came with Linux preinstalled.

  Dell is pretty friendly to Linux and even uses LVFS. I would assume theyre maintaining that in the new models but hey techs been doing stupid things since covid so who knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some Android phones do it too!

  Not anymore sellouts.

  Realtime subtitles is a value ad for the user. That’s totally fine.

  Copilot scanning my activity and recommending me shows serves the company, get that out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we have No Man's Sky fans here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hmhave a goal of having bases evenly distributed across the galaxies. So I hop on every once in a while to find a suitable planet for the next base.

  They replay all the expeditions during the holidays so I do the ones I missed as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you healthcheck your containers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can read the Dockerfile for the HEALTHCHECK clause however not all have it as it’s been introduced in later docker versions.

  You can also write your own using things like curl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s nice they offer their own lite version.

  Just because there is a more popular OSS solution doesn’t mean they should be complacent and accept people will use Vaultwarden.

  This shows they support their users directly instead of just letting their users fend for themselves.

  They also could indirectly be blamed by some people using vaultwarden should an issue arise with it.

  By publishing the first party lite version they can say “well you’re not using our supported version”. While still being friendly to self-hosters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 is outselling Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I always wait for Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros.

  But honestly, it’s not worth it at the prices theyre asking.
