Brave is a bad product as of now.
Firefox with ublock is at least acceptably performant on desktop and mobile without all the crypto/tracking downsides of Brave or the open unpatched vulnerabilities (as of this posting) of Chrome/chromium (that also affect Brave)
The name is awful. I’d rather see the posts here if that’s the name of the community
You should switch to Firefox with ublock origin.
Brave is a mess of a browser and a dumpster fire of an organization, even compared to the famously dysfuctional Mozilla.
You can look up your games on ProtonDB and see which will and won’t work. Pirated games are no different from retail compatibility-wise but there might be one or two extra steps
Wayland is a mess for me with Plasma 6 (Fedora) but i’m not going back to X11. Quite a few features i use(d) have been broken along the way.
On the upside high DPI support is getting better and better
I have hundreds of hours in Dwarf Fortress and i feel i’ve barely scratched the surface
In a sense i agree, but the crash was in Summer in North Dakota and they are European honeybees.
Honeybees are quite invasive in North America. They kill and displace native pollinators and they are generally less effective pollinators of native plants. The release of dozens more colonies into the ecosystem is a negative thing no matter how you look at it.
North America has the greatest native bee diversity of any temperate part of the world, but if you go out into habitat and actually start counting insects you will find honeybees outnumber everything else in most places, most times of year.
Suspend and hibernate both work 100% of the time for me so far on both of my laptops, and have for as long as i’ve had them.
Thinkpad x270 Fedora (current) KDE spin
Thinkpad x250 Ubuntu 24.04 GNOME
Fully working since 2019 and 2016 respectively. I have not tested opening the lid after just 5 seconds so i can’t say for sure how long it takes.
My previous laptop before these (an x200) would sometimes fail to suspend and get super hot in my bag before running out of battery. I was using Gentoo at the time and i suspect i had something configured incorrectly. It only happened a few times but it was pretty frustrating.
nano but i’m a casual. i can use vi/vim in a pinch, but i’m inefficient. ed and emacs are totally foreign
i tend to use a graphical text editor like Kate unless there is a specific reason to do it in the terminal
Ah i see. You are right, new hardware would need new drivers.
If MS just released the source of W95 as GPL you could still use the existing proprietary drivers, but like now you’d still have to download them from each vendor.
Making it possible to study the code itself would allow WINE devs to audit their code for edge cases and get W95-era compatibility to pretty much 100%
Which ones? Every single Prego variety at my local grocer has added sugar. It’s not good sauce
there might be inexpensive brands without added sugar but if they exist they aren’t available in my grocery store. The “store brand” at my local grocer is on the expensive side, like $8/jar, but it’s very good
My grocery store is within walking distance of my apartment, and i live in a very very car-centric region, so i’d much rather go there than drive to say a Costco
i really dislike Prego: too sweet for me and the flavor is weak
my grocery store has nice canned San Marzano-type tomatoes for about $4 for a big can. Enough to make maybe 2 jars of sauce.
You need to add your own herbs, spices, and simmer a bit but the end result is generally as good as the $10/jar fancy brands. I keep a fancy brand jar in the cupboard in case i don’t have time, but i try to simmer my own sauce as often as possible
My go-to herbs are coyote mint, yerba buena (Clinopodium), Mexican oregano (Lippia) and california bay leaf. i will also throw in some toasted garlic and some hard cheese when on hand
Agreed. I won the device in a raffle, i don’t think i’d buy one or recommended doing so. Converting books into mobi before uploading is an annoyance
Devices should be supported longer than 14 years. There is nothing about a 1st gen kindle that makes it incompatible with modern technology. For Amazon, an immortal entity, to act like 14 years is already gracious is nonsense. A 20 year lifespan (including repairs) should be the bare minimum standard.
Humans live 80-100 years. I shouldnt have to buy 6 or more e-readers (or 25+ smartphones) over my lifespan just to have access to one
Cutting them off from the online store is one thing, but the fact that they are bricked if you deregister or factory reset them is awful
I have a kindle keyboard that hasn’t been online in over a decade, but still gets regular use. i upload drm-free ebooks i own using Calibre. Now it will be impossible for me to give it away since it is forever zombie locked to my Amazon account
He was my representative until i recently moved. I’ve met him twice at coffee shops in Fremont just by chance.
He always seemed friendly and normal, if maybe a bit performative. The guy he originally replaced was a very old-guard corporatist Democrat, so i initially had high hopes for Swallwell.
I’m pretty shocked by this. Now the man is going to double down and further embarrass these women and his family by continuing to run and staying in office.
It will be easy to find a better rep for the district than Swallwell. That part of the Bay Area has more progressives and socialists than liberals, and the libertarian Republicans still outnumber the MAGAs
It outlines the process of removing a sitting president from office if they are unfit to serve and unwilling to resign.
It also details the procedure in the event that the president dies, is temporarily unable to serve, or fully resigns, or if the VP dies or resigns.
Thank you lol i will look into this next chance i get. I only remember looking at man systemd
my one critique is pretty subjective, but i find it difficult to find simple clear documentation online about how certain syntax works and how certain tasks are accomplished.
Recently i was trying to set up a cron-job type automation to run a script every minute. I know how to do that in cron (and if i didn’t, there are tons of good resources online) but i had a hell of a time figuring it out for systemd. I also wanted to have the script run at boot or user login and i couldn’t figure that one out (but i know how to do it with cron)
i’m not a power user so it’s entirely likely the information was hidden in plain sight and i completely missed it
Firefox allows all addons now on mobile but for a while it was only a few selected addons (ublock origin being one of them)
I am currently using 19 extensions on mobile
