Firefox v89 was the last version I used. I just couldn't be bothered with them constantly changing and removing features for no reason. I switched to Vivaldi, which offer basic functionality like vertical tabs, and a fully customisable

I never understood the banking app thing. I can use my banks website to manage my finances, using my built-from-source Gentoo Linux computer. Why must a phone then be totally locked down?

Reddit is the most astroturfed website on the planet. Be extremely critical of anything you read there. A sub like that is especially fertile.

I did a lot of calculations while playing Satisfactory to optimise my production line. Getting every part of a production line tuned just right was amazing. No regrets.

I tried to use Discord once, but they demanded my phone number to use it, so I deleted it and never looked back. Absolute cancer of a platform.

Dane here, our situation is similar to yours. Post Nord certainly needed competition, because they are completely inept at delivering packages, to the point that I refuse to shop at any retailer that don't offer alternatives. Sadly, wh

I've done the same. I've used Linux for 15-20 years for various things, but never on my main desktop because of games. But now Steam on Linux makes running games very easy. Not every game works, but there are a lot that do, and I

I'm not sure what's the definition of an "ordinary worker", but as an electrician in Denmark I could absolutely have a Tesla if I wanted to. Which I don't, I really like my Leaf.
