What REALLY irks me is that the gboard keyboard on Android is context-sensitive. No, I don’t want to have a shortcut for “.com” when long-pressing the period key while typing an address, I want to type a fscking dash!

Right?!! Consider this - if you replace the scroll wheel with two buttons, which one would you press to scroll down?

I don’t trust them to pick good produce for me.

I’ve had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I’d rather go out on my own terms.

Plus, any kind of money making scheme I’d think of is likely going to end up like the “aim for the bushes” scene in The Other Guys.

The author of the site works for Brave. The results need to be taken with a grain of salt. Is is more private than Chrome? Absolutely. Is it the best browser for privacy? Ehhh…

I cannot unhear Fishmaster.

My favorite example is this one, because it’s a faithful translation of the meaning of the song while substituting words to keep the rhymes.

That is literally called The Gallop!

No. Most large Reddit communities are toxic, both on the user and mod end. Let Lemmy grow at its own pace without repeating the same mistakes Reddit made.

He refers to the fact that the web app does not have default access to your device sensors, microphone, storage, etc.

The rationale for using LTS distros is being eroded by widespread adoption of containers and approaches like flatpak and nix. Applications and services are becoming less dependent on any single distro and instead just require a skeleton core system that is easier to keep up to date. Coupled with the increased cost needed to maintain security backports we are getting to a point where it’s less risky for companies to use bleeding edge over stable.

Rubber. I went in knowing it was a WTF film, but had NO idea how far out it was. It made Sharknado make sense by comparison.

Server: Ubuntu at work (previously CentOS), Debian at home. Toying with the idea to switch the home server to NixOS, given that all the services I run there are already configured declaratively.

Desktop: Ubuntu mainly due to inertia from back in the day when it was the simplest way to get Steam and ZFS support, but my loathing of snaps increases every day and I would be willing to consider alternatives if I had to reinstall. I don’t care for rolling release as long as I have flatpaks. An install option with LVM is a must for me, however.

It’s more convenient than Lutris for installing adhoc games, or multiple games in one bottle. Don’t get me wrong, when Lutris works out of the box it’s great, but oftentimes there’s no recipe on Lutris for a game (eg when they’re relatively unknown or new games) or the recipe is severely dated.
