I’m a lazy fuck. That’s why I use openSUSE Tumbleweed myself that has snapper preconfigured. I roll updates once I have time/will, sometimes twice a week, sometimes multiple months between. It’s fucking solid! And even if it breaks, it’s couple minutes to get it back to working condition and then I wait a week and next update is fine. This is the best!
I have a colleague. She doesn’t like Windows (more like she doesn’t like MS spying), has a laptop with Ubuntu, but she also doesn’t like change.
This put her in weird situation, when she still has PC with Windows 7, outdated firefox and complains youtube is borked all the time. And once she moves to laptop, there’s old Ubuntu (more than couple major releases old) which was never updated, because “she liked it that way”. Guess what? Similar problems.
I told her many times that if she wanted carefree linux experience, she should update it once in a while, there’s no evil MS behind it, but no. She never updates because reasons. She rather visit some obscure website that presents some terminal commands she doean’t understand, but copy them over anyway and voila… the linux is in even worse state than before.
That’s why linux is not hotfix for everything.
So it uses both? Interesting.
It used to be, it’s Bing nowadays I believe.
//edit: it says it uses google on the site, but I remember there was a bit of shitshow on the internetz ~year ago when they used bing instead. So… I’m confused now.
I got lost in this wordpress thing. Tried to read few (probably low quality informed-as-I-am) articles and now I’m even more lost. Can someone ELI5 what’s going on, who’s the good guy, who’s the bad guy, whether wordpress (product) is to be avoided, etc. Thank you.
I don’t recommend Zulip as Discord alternative. It’s interesting take on slack-ish type of messenger, but not really “polished” experience for now.
It will be done the same year when it’s finally “year of linux”… Sad, but seems to be the case.
Ok, thank you and all the others for explanation.
What about DoH/DoT which comes enabled by default in some browsers I believe? This should “hide” your activity from isp/router as well, shouldn’t it?
Well, it is impossible to install W11 Pro without MS account for normal person. Sure tech people can do it after couple seconds of web search, but your average PC user? Nope. No way.
I highly doubt regular users will exchange Discord for Matrix. Don’t get me wrong, Matrix is great and all, has some great features, but given its open decentralized way it is and probably always will be mostly for tech savvy people. Now given how half of the Discord (the part I know) is memes and gifs spam, it’s not really easily reproducible with Matrix. At least last time I checked Element still didn’t have gif picker…
I absolutely fell in love with Wenceslas. It’s a masterpiece,especially with that video they made…
But that is terrible to use. I can’t imagine my kids or wife to use this with TV…
Not mentioning taking 100 screenshots each second with what - 25 frames per second? - is kinda overkill…
So how do you all guys watch content on these “dumb TVs”?
If you connect e.g. android box, how is it any different than connecting the TV itself? Do you think producers of android boxes aren’t such pricks? This bugs my mind.
That’s what’s so dumb with it! As I said, in EU you see the final price, including tax. So “healthier option” with lower tax would instantly be seen as cheaper than “unhealty” one with heftier tax. This way it could actually work.
Yeah, I was talking about local stores mainly. Online it’s understandable as every state has its own view on taxes, same as each state in EU (we’re not federation though).
As a regular European I never even understood why US shops list prices without tax. It feels just dumb. When I go to store here the store is required to show final price on tag - meaning including tax and recycling/author fee if there’s one. Seems much more user friendly.
I am F12!
Not stupid, she’s definitely not stupid. It’s that everyone has their own quirks maybe? And different expectations.
