Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled
  • Thank you Google I hope shitty moves like this drives enough people away to better browsers like Firefox. It desperately needs a bigger market share.

  • Why aren't more people using NixPKGs?
  • Was curious myself don't like flatpaks & appimages much, but from a quick googling, they don't seem to integrate with the desktop so you need to launch them from terminal? That is a deal breaker for me at least.

  • Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge
  • Valve basically killed the second hand market of PC Games with their Steam keys tied forever to one account. CD Keys was a thing before Steam but only for online games and if you sold the game or lended it out to a buddy the next person could play with same key. Nope too pro consumer thought Valve, made it mandatory for singleplayer games like Half-Life 2. They forced people buying Half-Life 2 to install Steam & create Steam account which at the time was not ready and basically just an early DRM to tie license forever to one account.

    Many people could not even play at release, they could not prove they owned what they had bought, cause servers were overloaded so they were locked out of playing an offline singleplayer game on their own computer. Unfortunately that is custom nowadays when big games launch with contrived shitty online service crap forced down gamers throats. Valve basically pioneered that shit among many other douchey moves. They are better than scum like EA & Ubisoft especially these days but far from perfect. So no they all suck to some degree.

  • Microsoft Edge, anyone?
  • I collect Microsoft points so Edge gives bonus every day & integrates with bing. It's also good for reading pdfs and epubs cause it has nice tts which does not sound like a retarded robot played through a tin can like the linux native one.

  • Why do you use firefox?
  • Cause it's the Red Panda browser, cuddly creatures🥰

  • Anyone tried Microsoft Edge in Linux?
  • Edge works fine on Linux at least on KDE Plasma. I use the flatpak daily. It's also available on AUR but haven't tried it myself. I've also tried the PPA on Linux Mint with no issues.

  • Is root unsecure ? Is ACCA useful ?
  • That's going to be a thing of the past. The future for corporate users is a locked down monitored system with least privilege access in the name of security. Zero Trust they call it.

  • So I installed EndeavourOS ...
  • I didnt even get that far. I think installer crashed when trying to go with btrfs as filesystem so I got cold feet. I have ventoy with a shitload of distros on so bar was pretty low to go for something else. That looks doable though, thx will try again.

  • So I installed EndeavourOS ...
  • Cool, yeah it does look very appealing. Might hop myself. I tried to install it but I couldn't get btrfs to work on my system so I went with openSuSe Tw instead. I dont really like corporate distros though and I miss the aur plus the amazing arch wiki so might try again.

  • Antivirus recomendations
  • yeah I always try without sudo and do "sudo !!" if it needs it.

  • Antivirus recomendations
  • go with firewalld ufw floods dmesg with useless messages
