Thanks for saying this.

With recent campaigns and rants against digital media, people often claim that “you own the game if you buy a physical copy”. That always makes me sigh, because it’s false.

Not saying there are some advantages for some use cases, but I dislike hyperbole and untruths.

I tried ProtonVPN and got a refund, because their Linux implementation is lacking

Roblox not runnimg is more like a feature. /s

Congress should have a theme for this. “Warcrime Wednesdays”?

If you got a Nvidia dGPU I recommend PopOS. It gave me the best energy options and ability to switch between iGPU and dGPU out of the box. It even found new firmware for my T480 and installed it without a hitch.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will take a look and see if the extra money is worth it.

He is a overall a good dude. I love what he did with his Sneakers:

As per Joe Pompliano, In 1998, when Shaq was on his way out of the Orlando arena, a mother was seen cursing at him. She posed the question, “Why don’t one of you s** o** a B****** make an affordable sneaker?” in front of him that made him wonder. He even offered her $200 which she violently refused.

The Lakers legend stopped to think about the enormous difference in the actual cost of basketball shoes and how much a typical family could spend. This led to his decision to leave Reebok and start his own line. A thought occurred in Shaq’s mind and he turned to the biggest retailer in the world, Walmart.

It’s been two decades, and Shaq has been selling most of his shoes at Walmart for $15-$30, compared to Nike’s $200 and more. This helped him sell over 120 million pairs of shoes.

Not specific for learning, but you can put any command into ExplainShell and it breaks down the individual parts for you.

No, it’s an android app.

I don’t like to install an app for every service or product, but newpipe adds so much value, that it’s a no-brainer for me.

I don’t see the value in using an extension just to automatically watch YouTube in HD. Maybe 10 years ago, but now we got Newpipe.

Also Google Search has gone downhill for quite some time now. Why should I install an extension that reverts the enshittification Google has deliberately created?

DDG, Qwant, searXNG maybe even Brave or Kagi are better options. If you like Google Search so much, at least use Startpage.

Logseq + Syncthing for Linux and Android

I used this Guide (KVM +qemu) in a previous installation. I’m an intermediate Linux user and got it working without much trouble. Maybe it will fit your use case

“Oops.” - The people killing our world and won’t face any real consequences.

More and more aspects of life require an app or at least a smartphone (QR codes). That already excludes older people from some aspects of daily life. Let’s do the same for kids!

Politicians should do their jobs and regulate tech and social media not ban useful devices.

HDR? Ah, you mean when videos keep flickering on Wayland!

I will switch when I need a new GPU.

Sports are divided by gender, because it’s easy. It has been done that way for a long time.

But how is a long jump competition between a 1,50m and a 1,90m woman fair?

It’s not.

People who want fairness should see past easy binary characteristics. We are tracking hormone levels, muscle mass, body fat and countless other statistics in professional sports. Why can’t we divide athletes in 3, 4, or more different groups?

“It’s unfair to have trans athletes compete with women!”

It’s unfair when I play basketball against LeBron, as well.

Bigoted people are making it about competition while holding onto the archaic division between men and women.

They could create other criteria and have 3, 4 … Separate groups. Making sports much fairer. But this is about oppression, not fairness.

How was there never a legal battle between KDE and Mortal Kombat?

Why companies aren’t fined for every customers data they didn’t secure properly is beyond me. This should cost them a specific sum per customer or part of their annual global revenue. Make it hurt.

Otherwise they have no reason to spend money to properly secure people’s data.

I hop between invidious, piped and Freetube regularly. Had some instances when both piped and invidious don’t work at all.
