Strange, I'm in the UK as well but everyone I know and meet uses WhatsApp. Got a few friends who are on Signal and Telegram also, but those are only in my more technology-oriented circles.

Protip: switch to an outliner with infinite nesting like Dynalist and dump bookmarks in there. You can far more easily categorise, tag and interlink bookmarks that way, and it eventually evolves into a personal wiki almost.

It appeals to gaming communities rather than business ones through it's design and features. You don't have to sign up to instances separately - there's a single account you use to sign into any, and you can adjust your pictu

At least PipeWire is a thing now.

He's allowed to post short clips from his Spotify episodes on YouTube, these were what was deleted. He hasn't had full episodes on YouTube ever since he moved to Spotify.

And similarly to DF it's also getting a more accessible Steam version (Space Station 14 as well as Unitystation) to make it easier to start playing it. In my play experience SS13 wins out in terms of funny stories and variety, mainly b

DF has always been an interesting game to me, but I find it such a shame that such a deeply complex game remains closed-source. I've fortunately since found a number of open-source games that scratch the same itch - Cataclysm: Dark Day

It's really easy to avoid the negatives and stay anonymous whilst doing so, and I presume part of it is sticking a middle finger to the DRM industry.

I'd like to see games integrate a "trust score" mechanism where known configurations like immutable distros e.g. Fedora Silverblue, cloud gaming platforms and consoles don't have to run a client-side anti-cheat at all be

Fair enough, many of us on the other hand are repulsed by the Windows telemetry, poor customisation, resource usage, etc so I just keep a second drive to boot into Windows those few hours a week where I want to play a Windows exclusive.

I've got a few hundred games and the only one I noticed was noticeably worse on Linux is Star Citizen, and that's a game still in alpha so the optimisation in general is awful anyway.

You say this like it's all due to misinformation. There are many VAERS and other self-reports in other countries, many studies and countless doctors also coming out against this. Overall I think vaccines have higher pros/cons (I&#

Works great, I just hope they figure out GPU passthrough and potentially Looking Glass integration in the future to make things easier for Linux gamers who need a VM.

Great to see another reader out in the wild. Mainstream optometry just making the problem worse to keep you as a customer instead of curing you is the same sort of issue that happens in so many industries from orthodontics to nutrition.

The compromise I've found is cloud gaming whilst on Linux for those few Windows-only. Even for competitive FPS and MOBAs GeForce NOW runs great for me.

The parent comment however is correct - it's not abusive, instead sometimes incompatible or buggy.

England for one has open source statistics, and most cases are breakthrough. Alex Berenson has some good analysis of these statistics on his Substack.

Privacy Badger is unnecessary, it's a worse version of uBlock. Also HTTPS Everywhere can be replaced with the Force HTTPS option natively implemented in Firefox.

Your custom launcher is basically the manual version of using Multi-Account Containers and Temporary Containers for Firefox by the way.

Just because some proprietary code exists doesn't mean you should leave the door open for them to add as much extra proprietary code as they wish. You can regard it as two separate features: one that's needed for the CPU to functi

Exactly. Either use the proprietary driver for the GPU you bought, deal with the flaws in the FOSS reverse engineered driver, or get an AMD GPU since they actually release their own legit FOSS driver.

Agree about GNOME - I'm very happy with the relatively unopinonated KDE now. Older audio systems still work, I just swapped to PipeWire this week in 10 mins and had no issues. Try the current release. Xorg has been on maintenance for y

Users shouldn't be "transitioned" to a closed-source app store full stop, no matter how nice it would be for Canonical metrics. Only specifically typing `snap install` should work. If they don't want to continue making a
