Fair enough, very understandable

Can still be very pretty though. I use it to set scenes and show characters for my dungeons and dragons campaign.

It’s not weird. When a small company does something like this they lose users and it could damage them. Google doesn’t care because they know people will use them no matter what.

Isn’t Beeper another security risk? They also store your data on their cloud, and it’s not encrypted during the bridge process.

I tried all of those, same issue on all of them on Brave, Chromium, and Firefox. I’ve given up hope for now, maybe with the next laptop.

3D graphics worked out of the box, but the 2D animations in the browser on any browser, any distro, any driver are super low FPS. I feel like I’ve tried everything and I cannot solve this. What’s your distro?

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX3060. When Linux can run 2D graphic animations in browsers with more than 5fps I’ll switch, but it just doesn’t work.

It may have come a long way, but let’s not pretend it’s flawless.

Installing Linux is so simple nowadays that fixing the bootloader is a level higher now

Ah gotcha, similar to newpipe on android

How does revanced work? How does it protect me from ads?

Just use invidious or Newpipe if the adblock ever stops working

I’ve been using Ublock origin for years and I’ve never seen a message like that

I’m surprised your library still has DVD’s, the local library here hasn’t had them in a decade or so.

ASML is still following Moore’s Law, and with them the whole world.

Unfortunately, depending on the country where you are that won’t work. Through the taxes that they need to pay for the employee it’s possible to discern whether or not you’re the employee’s second employer. And usually the contract stipulates that that’s not allowed without express permission.

I never realised people have issues with non-Amazon ebooks. The first thing I did was search how to put my own ebooks on my kindle and I found calibre, which is super easy to use.

Brother I live in western Europe and of the 6 supermarkets in my smallish city, 4 offer the handscanner. It’s incredibly common here, and very convenient.

I have a bunch of weird issues when running Linux on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX3060. So unfortunately I won’t be switching until the situation improves.

It’s not even about gaming either, virtually all 2D animations are like 2fps, no matter the drivers or power management. I wasted days on this with some guys from the Lenovo Legion Linux discord server, and some with exactly the same laptop don’t have the same issue, but windows runs fine.

It’s a real shame that, maybe on the next laptop!

For many people Linux still isn’t the perfect solution due to industry specific software being only available for Windows. I do agree that for most people Linux would be fine on their personal device.

Problems with nvidia is really the only reason I’m still on Windows.
