American here. We'd bitch, piss, and moan about the EU buying US companies. We wouldn't fund Firefox though, we'd be more likely to give a huge government contract to facebook to reskin chrome or some other stupid shit.

You might be able to get Firefox to work with apulse (pa emulation for alsa), i dont know if it still works. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1387154/using-alsa-on-firefo... https://github.com/i-rin

I got blocked this morning by cloudflare on a site of a business I purchased from and recommended since the early 1990s. I made my purchase with a competitor. I won't be going back and will not be recommending them anymore. Just want t

How's it NSFW? I dont see a single f bomb. It's not licensed AGPL either...

You should. Then I could start my SHWAAS business offering unbreakable encryption for it. (Shitty Handwriting As A Service).

I'd run ios if I could build my own apps for it without begging for Apple's approval to use my own device. Really, all I want from a phone is to be able to run Linux/xfce on it.

With banks, I've found that offering to bring the matter up with the FDIC and/or fed regulators moves the balance of power to a less unfair level. "We have to use secure messages" turned into a willingness to use email i

Those secure messaging platforms make it damned near impossible to make a backup. I've seen medical clinics delete messages that would have bad for them in court. As such, I tell anyone who sends me one to fuck off and send a real emai

I think iPhone hardware is better for the price on the used market. (I refuse to buy new phones. They're too locked down and shitty to warrant spending that much.)

Mageia's also a fine European distro. Suse has more packages in their repo. But, I prefer Mageia's control center to yast.

If they allowed something similar on iphones, I'd switch to an iPhone the day an alternate os worked well enough for daily use.

I used OSX for about a year about 10 years ago. Homebrew was what made it worth using OSX. Thanks for all the effort put into homebrew. I'd use it today on Linux, but I'm pretty anal about only using software from the distribution

The worst part is that it contains Star Wars 4-6 from an alternate timeline where Disney did a reboot casting Chris Pratt as Han Solo. (Fun fact: "Chrispratt" is an ancient Californian word that means "Joel McHale didn't

I've seen a couple printed books from them. They all seemed to be a pretty good quality print.

If only there was an easy high-level language that's taught to first year students that allows them to write once, run anywhere. If they're too lazy to learn java, haxe has hxwidgets[0]. Haxe is pretty damn close to js. If a dev c

I used to do web dev. (Got out of it due to js frameworks and their bloat.) I'd pee myself in happiness to take over a project like this.

Introduction to Statistical Thinking (With R, Without Calculus) by Yakir is pretty cool. https://pluto.huji.ac.il/~msby/StatThink/

I used several of their books in school. Each of them was top notch. Hell, their math books are better than the paid books I used.

When I had protonmail, I often wouldn't get emails for hours, sometimes a day. Most other providers I've used range from instant to a few minutes.

It'd be cool if you could see info about others' predictions after you've made yours. Might also be cool to be able to see a bracket oor schedule of the upcoming matches.

That's a wonderful machine. I'd love to see that style of keyboard on new stuff. Its wild to me to think of how much old computers could do relative to new. WordPerfect for DOS was always responsive and quick wheb I used it. I&#x2

For anyone who doesnt know: changing the x.com or twitter.com in a twitter link to xcancel.com usually works to view tweets without an account. (If I remember right, some video links dont always work with xcancel.)

Google's Material Design is fucking awful from an accessibility standpoint. There's no contrast. Clickable items don't look clickable. With a keyboard/remote, you can never tell what's selected. Material is what ma
