- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
I don’t know how you read my comment and concluded that I approve racism or homofobia. It’s these kind of comments that push people away.
Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat. You can’t insult people into your way. No one wants to have a conversation with you when you just randomly accuse them of homofobia. In your future attempt try going easier and with baby steps. People are more likely to stop eating meat if they take it one step at a time. This ridiculous expectation that someone must change their lifestyle over night or they’re racists… This isn’t the way, statistically speaking. But alas, this is a pointless discussion because you already know and just to fight with a stranger. Have a nice day.

This is not how you get people to join your ideas, this is how you push them away further.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
Here in Portugal the lowest is 8gb. The 500 euro models have 16gb already.
- Comment on Pornhub shuts down in Texas... and predictably, VPNs benefit 2 months ago:
Just use proton VPN, the free tier should be enough.
- Comment on Sustaining Proton’s mission over time | Proton 2 months ago:
Turns out the problem is that Proton does not support IPV6, at least via OpenVPN and/or WireGuard. Disabling ipv6 fixes the problem, though I don’t really enjoy that solution :|
- Comment on Sustaining Proton’s mission over time | Proton 2 months ago:
I love Proton and what they stand for but their Linux support is unfortunately quite bad. Everything feels half baked, at most.

I tried their OpenVPN config files but I always get IP leaks. Any idea on how to fix that? :(

Can Firefox cast a full page yet to Chromecast yet?
- Comment on Paris votes to crack down on SUVs | Non-Parisians will be charged almost $20 per hour to park large gas or hybrid vehicles within the city center in a bid to address pedestrian safety and air pollu... 3 months ago:
It’s not free, at least not in Portugal. You pay an yearly tax per vehicle, the value depends on the vehicle model.

50€ on Amazon Spain.
- Comment on Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button? 4 months ago:
The cost of making a new request for the rest of the news is higher than just returning the full news. The only use case where this makes sense is where news are behind a paywall and you just want to show a teaser to Anonymous readers.

It’s my bad, I didn’t realize the original user was talking about the android version. Maybe an extension can do it?

Firefox on Android allows you to install uBlock Origin. That alone is a major improvement over Chrome.
You can also try out Vivaldi, which is based on Chrome and also has a built in ad blocker. I don’t think you can install uBlock Origin on Android tho…

Our automation tests run on Firefox on odd days and on Chrome on even days. I don’t think it ever made a difference, tho. It’s getting harder to create bugs that are specific to Firefox or Chrome. Safari, on the other hand, is a fucking mess.

Try the startpage search engine. It has been much better for me than DDG.
Firefox allows you to select a home page, tho? Not sure what your problem with Firefox is.
- Comment on Looking for low power devices for selfhosting 4 months ago:
That reminds me, I do own a pine64 device! It was the first thing I got on Kickstarter.
It’s a Pine A64, with 2gb RAM. I wonder if it has enough power to run all those things. It’s a budget device from 8 years ago, probably gonna have a hard time but I’ll give it a try if I manage to find it!

Raspberry Pi was my first choice, but apparently I can’t even back order it :/

- Comment on AMD says overclocking blows a hidden fuse on Ryzen Threadripper 7000 to show if you've overclocked the chip, but it doesn't automatically void your CPU's warranty 5 months ago:
It’s not shitty, it’s fair. If damage is cause by the overclock why should the manufacturer foot the bill? You modified the product to run outside the specs!

- Comment on Portugal Runs on 100% Renewables Dropping Consumer Electric Bills to Nearly Zero for 6 Days in a Row 5 months ago:
Yet… the electricity bill has tripled since July, as new taxes were introduced to fuck you over. Consumer bills are definitely not dropping and definitely not near zero.
- Comment on What happened to the flat earthers who demonstrated that the earth is round in the netfilx documentary ? 6 months ago:
Fat shaming is such a bad analogy, I wouldn’t dream to mock someone for their body.
Mocking someone for the factually wrong “theory” they scientifically disproved themselves… That’s fair game.
- Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests 6 months ago:
Windows RAM allocation depends on your ram size. If you have more ram, it will allocate more. Unused RAM is wasted RAM
- Comment on What are the recommended scripting languages for complex shell scripts beyond bash? 6 months ago:
I make bash scripts to automate the configuration of new servers. Stuff like install packages, create users, create groups, configure the database, manage permissions…
I feel like that sort of stuff would be a nightmare to do in high level languages but maybe I’m just too used to bash.

Fair point with Adobe but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried gaming on Linux. Stuff just works, zero technical knowledge required. Run Steam, launch the game.
Not sure how long ago you tried gaming but Valve has done an amazing work for gaming in Linux.

But Google is the market leader and had the same practices, why are you only for MS to be punished? Google is just as shady.

I was surprised to find that gaming on linux just works. Valve has done a wonderful job in improving proton.
