NOOOOOOO! Shit! Ah, for the love of cthulu … damnit!

Sigh … this just bummed me out. Thanks for the info.

The one thibg I’d wish I’d known when moving from google that self-hosting is bliss. For everything else there is tuta and nextcloud.

Convenience, time saved.

Its the meat in a shit sandwich. If you dont like chrome based stuff, what choice is there.

I hate that this happened, F. Mozilla for this, but its not like I can just dust off netscape or something.

Librewolf while I wait for the enshittification of the internet services to come full circle.

Yup. Go back a version of xfreerdp. Done.

sudo dnf downgrade xfreerdp (or whst ever is the name of the package)

I don’t imagine there are many alternatives?

I love it. But this part on their website has me scratching my head:

“Your purchase includes a 12-month Sailfish OS full license subscription valued at €59.88 (€4.99/month), granting access to all releases, commercial components, and feature upgrades. After the first year, you can choose to continue your subscription and support Sailfish OS development further. Even without renewal, your device will continue to function, but future software updates and commercial component upgrades will not be available.”

So does this mean they will be cutting the security updates or just feature updares? Because cutting security updates after a year is a bit of a dick move.

I get that you can always apply patches yourself but … it rubs me the wrong way.

Errr … fine. I have a bias. I didnt like fortnite. I grew up playing twitch shooters like quake and UT. The most important things that mattered back then was movement, positioning and ofcourse, aim.

Aim was a huge huge part, back then the input was as analog as it got. Nowadays I feel like raw aim has taken a step back, while still being important, It is not THE diferentiating factor any longer, especially in games like fortnite.

I’m bitter about that because my mechanical skill is still up there even as an older dude, but in todays games everyone runs circles around me, especially in games like fortnite.

I miss the arena shooters, the raw input feel of 1:1 of the analog days. But I guess I’m just another older guy screaming at a cloud.

Fortnite is to UT, like a Dacia is to a porsche.

I’ve been saying this for ages. Golf courses need to go the way of the dodo.

I get the “sport” but if you ever go over some places on google earth, they stand out like a sore thumb.

There is barely any affordable housing, but sure, lets keep our neighborhood-sized opulence “parks”, that a few rich people can take advantage of sometimes.

Get fucked by a cactus.

Yes yes ok… I know.

On the phone. Where power saving is important. Where oleds are commonplace now. Where individual pixels turn off when fully black. I think a pixel that is off will use less power than one that is on, no?

But beyond all that, isnt it just a preference? Some people like white mode, others like dark. We dont all have the same eyes and brains.

I personally dont like light mode one bit and go the extra mile to get dark mode on my devices, but i dont care if someone else uses light mode. Cut it out, let people do what they like.

What the fuck are you on about? Jesus christ, we get ragebait in here too now?

Know your usecases. Thats it. Linux isn’t hard if you do.

But no, let me recommend the jet engine service manual to my 6 year old that is learning to read. You’re going to have a bad time.

For the record, since this post and most comments irked me, arch is fine. I’m using arch on my workstation/personal rig for years. Fedora on the laptop because I need a stable work thing. Alpine VMs on the homelab because it needs light and stable.

USECASES!

I second the fedora kde spin. Been using it for years on my work laptops. Hasnt failed me yet.

Right, yeah, guess I’m in the wrong with this one.

No. The question was technical. Not political. It does not even occur to you that you can explain something without bringing in mention of the political situation, does it?

Does it do “the vpn thing” - yes or no.

Does it record your data - yes or no.

Does it log trafffic - yes or no.

Is it stable - yes or no.

Are there caveats - if yes, which?

I take issue with mentioning the curent political landscape, because it is painfully obvious why we NEED vpn solutions in this day and age. You can flame me for it all you want. I want the discussion to be relevant. Not reddit-like.

Question about vpn … but virginia is conservative and jesus has a trump tramp stamp … dude … please stop making everything about fucking politics, please. Thank you.

Just flash your own.

Nah, we were running lots of pvp squads down in null in the tribute/vale region. Was lots of fun. Made some of my best friends during those times, many of which I am still friends with today.

One of them actually helped me shape my current career trajectory. I moved countries with his help.
