I’m using a very very old nook and enjoy it. I kinda want whatever I use to be just for reading, and nothing else. This way it all points to one thing. I also have like a first or second Gen kindle but it, while technically better, is slow as heck and filled with bloat.

I am tempted by modern colored e-ink, but I hear it isn’t super color accurate yet.

I’m not sure that you can get wallpaper engine running. Maybe someone else can say otherwise, but I wouldn’t trust second hand.

When I switched, I got the whole setup you describe. Even special soap from etsy. It was too much of a ritual.

Between simple blades and an electric, I’m good and it’s pretty fast as long as I keep up with it.

I did do dollar shave for a little bit and it was okay. But this is an easier version of set it and forget it. Like you said, it’s pretty cheap.

I just moved and my cat really really wanted to smell the tape measure. I don’t know why, but it’s always like a minute long process along the length I happen to have out. I wouldn’t dare deny her, especially when she is so thorough.

Are you offering yours up? I would be very interested if you are.

FUTO Keyboard. Its newer. Still needs improvements to gesture typing. Overall I like it.

I hope your right. My experience in life has been people will constantly loosen what they find acceptable and it does not stay contained but spreads. 😟

I either use Firefox or LibreWolf. I was just conversing.

The new Declarative Net Request API is still a downgrade in capability compared to the older API, but the feature gap has closed significantly. If a certain website finds a workaround for ads that Manifest V3 extensions can’t block, then you probably should just switch browsers or stop going to that site. I would like to see the rules limit continue to increase, though.

Isn’t that most of the web?

I enjoyed the article. I don’t think it’s coincidence that Google is going after adblockers at the same time as this is happening, despite suggested improvements that will come along with Manifest V3.

It could make things more secure from malicious extensions but in my experience people who install extensions tend to be a bit more savvy and people who aren’t savvy tend to not use extensions. That’s just my experience though.

I do think people should get paid for efforts so we can keep nice things that could be getting served to us by a small team. Websites I frequent for gaming info for example. But I only found those places by searching and sifting through sites with poor morals and I need a way to browse safely for that.

Yeah, but no one will hop on irc or mumble to hang out these days.

Unless gaming and using multiple monitors. That was my experience after a couple of months. Fedora, a few weeks in, has made things lot smoother. Otherwise though, Mint was great and with further Wayland I could see me use it again.

I recently encountered a song I could only stream but not buy anywhere without DRM. Kinda wild because it has over 5 million YouTube views.

If anyone knows how the buy Slow Song by The Knocks, lmk.

The bastards barely started selling it a few years ago. I feel like some responsibility should exist. It isn’t a company that is going under, so it shouldn’t be able to just casually kill the devices tied-service it only recently sold.

Do you know if you can just pay the difference to upgrade from simple to unlimited? I’m pretty sure I will gobble the 300 searches but they claim that 99% of people do not.

As someone newer who has only used Ubuntu and Mint, what do you get elsewhere?

I’m using Mint and new to it. Does the Mint app store have more security or scrutiny? I’m cautious as most things are lucky to have one or two reviews listen. Many are zero though and it’s not quite clear to me yet how to tell if things are from an official source or if they had review.

Can someone more savvy explain why they couldn’t also scrape what we all say here?

Maybe here is a good place to ask. I have used Mint for months now on my non-gaming laptop. I like it. I was ready to move my gaming rig at months end. Then I read that it can have issues with multiple monitors at different refresh rates and also with Mouse acceleration. Is this true and is there a solution?

The software has determined every key stroke with your thumb has a measurable deficiency. Employee #5317, would you verbally agree to a thumb lengthening. We believe this would improve performance by 0.012%.

What the heck. How are they at that point not paying for the phone. Nope nope nope.

A lot of people seem to feel entitled to space on others phones. I guess businesses included.
