It’s a shame Firebird doesn’t seem to be on F-Droid. But Graph89 is really good for the older calculators!

(Linus is, incidentally, not a billionaire; he has a net worth of about $150 million.)

No evidence this is anyone in the RustDesk team + shitty/possibly LLM-generated response leads me to believe this is a troll.

We all know that CIA prison escape segment was harder than any of the bosses, though.

The final boss of PE.

And if you haven’t used it in a while, we recently made a blog post giving a rundown of the changes leading up to our most recent major release.

Haha, yup, you’re right; had a brain fart.

Parents killing reaping their zombie children was a favorite one of mine.

Absolutely! And what I ran down is just the extent of the features I personally interact with; there are a fair few more, including one that aims to combat clickbait by changing clickbaity titles.

FYI, SponsorBlock isn’t just for skipping sponsored segments. SB gives you granular control over the sorts of sections you can skip, and it only auto-skips sponsors by default. However:

• There are several categories of section, including intro animation/intermission (“an interval without actual content”), preview (i.e. where the information already exists later in the video), sponsor (a segment made in return for payment from a third party), unpaid/self-promotion (e.g. “buy my merch”), interaction reminder (e.g. “remember to like and subscribe”), and endcards/credits. (There’s also “filler tangent/jokes”, but I haven’t tried this one.)
• For each of these categories, you can choose to disable altogether, show in the seek bar, prompt to manually skip, or auto skip.

So even if you would never want to skip a sponsored segment in your life, the extension still saves a ton of time if you have no/limited interest in watching even just one of the above-listed categories.

Oh, no, given an actual choice (even if it were exactly the same computer at exactly the same price), Linux would likely win out eventually if MS didn’t massively step up their game. Windows has way too much stupid bullshit that its userbase is noseblind to: driver fuckery, installing applications by finding files on an Internet scavenger hunt, no built-in, centralized updating of applications, having to restart your PC for your OS to update, being consistently slower and more resource-hungry, needing a dedicated antivirus, bare minimum customization, not being able to uninstall completely useless shitware (e.g. Internet Explorer in goddamn 2024) and having the bloatware you can uninstall come back after updates (e.g. Candy Crush), the amount of dark patterns during installation, licensure bullshit, this new scheme of pressuring users into OneDrive by making it the default, ads in your “premium” OS, and I could just keep going.

MS could definitely still gatekeep their Office suite and their Copilot AI (for the few people who actually use the latter), but every other software vendor would start supporting Linux if the userbase moved there, and LibreOffice etc. (already fine for the basic office stuff most people do) would get the funding and contributors to implement more advanced functionalities.

NTFS in general has a bunch of ridiculous, archaic restrictions that a more modern-ish one like ext4 doesn’t. Does NTFS still not allow you to use a question mark in your filename?

“Greatest?” No. “Most popular for desktop users?” Yes.

Ah. I guess I don’t notice that since I’m on Linux and just update Firefox whenever I want.

If you go to Hamburger menu > Settings > General > Check for updates but let you choose to install them, you won’t auto update anymore. I agree that would be annoying.

Nah, Firefox is way better.

Betteridge’s law of headlines in shambles.

I think “quirky” as a self-descriptor got pretty heavily stigmatized during the 2010s, though. Like if someone self-identifies as “quirky”, the first thing that comes to my mind is the *holds up spork* copypasta. I actually personally really like offbeat, as long as you use a modifier like “a bit”.
