Fair. Chromium.

Consumer grade Linux Mint is impossible to differentiate from Windows/MacOS.

Install Firefox. Install Chrome. Install Steam.

Test it out on an old laptop or computer. It’s trivial. Your life will improve.

The USA wants a world where AI wants is given permission to consume all copyrighted content for free, but we are charged for access to scholarly papers.

SSX. All of them.

Dark patterns will eventually force advertisements into anything that reliably catches your attention.

I stopped paying attention to notification icons ages ago, and I haven’t missed any important notifications.

You own what is on your machine, that you save locally.

Some companies believe they control the internet, but they do not. They control what is on the computers they own, that they save locally. Sometimes that is information that users have shared. That is their choice.

Steam, Spotify, Discord. Whoops, all Chromium.

Selective quoting is basically lying.

The first, dubbed IS-29e, failed due to a propulsion system fuel leak. Intelsat declared the satellite a total loss in April 2019, later attributing it to either a micrometeoroid strike or solar weather activity.

Meanwhile Google has always just forced you to go to Google Groups to log bugs in production software.

I have used my pi-hole to blacklist all the oculus, meta and facebook domains, so I don’t get firmware update pushes on my Q1.

BUT, I did have a weird out-of-sync issue with Virtual Desktop a few months ago when I thought I had properly version locked.

All I ever wanted my Quest to be was a monitor. The fact that they could brick a monitor because they feel like it’s obsolete, is asinine.

I waited to get involved until after the Echoes update last summer, and I truly enjoyed 100+ hours of the game.
