As a Librewolf user I wouldn’t make it default for casual users this kind of distro is aiming for. Sure enabling logins to use it as a main browser is piss easy, but that’s still more work than the average person wants to put into setting up their system.
Waterfox would be the better choice since it’s just default Firefox in every way besides Mozilla’s spyware.
Gives me more Windows 8 flashbacks than Mac.
An interface that works well on touchscreens, but feels clunky on mouse and keyboard and the general theming of it looks more phone like than a desktop PC. Gnome itself being harder to theme doesn’t help with that.
That being said I’d pick Gnome over all else for touch devices. I threw it on an old Surface 3 and it worked better than the original Win8 interface.
I know at least one person who said they use Googles DNS because it stopped them getting pissy letters from their ISP.
Some people only care about privacy to the point were they don’t see the immediate consequences for their actions.
I’ve been using DDG since 2016 and never felt it was worse in terms of “search quality” than Google.
Especially nowadays I hear friends whine near weekly about Google, but it’s still somehow “better than DDG”.
Honestly people just make excuses not to change what they’re use to. Even if what they’re used to has changed around them for the worse.
My only real complain I have is I wish ‘search by date range’ was less finicky use and also worked in the image tab like it does in Google images.
Lately it’s been sifting through IMDB collections to find movies to watch.
That or I check the groups I’m in to see what I’m late to the party on now.
Welcome to the Club!
I had a similar issue around 2 years ago now on POP where my bootloader didn’t even show up in the bios anymore.
If you still have the a USB with the live boot of POP you can use it to recover your files n stuff.
Can someone correct me here.
If I have i2P enabled on my qBittorent client and I start seeding a torrent downloaded from a non-i2P connection.
Does my seed of it allow others to download that torrent through i2P?
qBittorrent! You can even add a search plugin directly in the client.
Was using Deluge before on Windows and for a while when I switched to Linux but started having issues with it.
I still got a torrent from 2005 seeding, with 2 other people.
A VPN is a must have for browsing the internet in the UK these days, our laws and only getting more Orwellian by the day.
By all means do what you must to avoid handing over data to our police-state government.
Leave a text file along with your music including a donation link and thanking people for listening.
I’ve heard more than a handful of artists getting some money that way after putting their own albums up on torrent/file-share sites.
As someone who started using Linux while on Nvidia and stuck with it for over a year before going full AMD.
Just go AMD, so many little things I had to find workarounds for just because of Nvidias shitty drivers.
Even after Nvidia claimed to support wayland I could never get it to run on my install, then having to manually configure my xorg just to get my 170hz monitor working which then introduced graphical issues I just couldn’t fix…NONE of that was an issue the moment I swapped to a RX 7800 XT, didn’t even have to install any drivers they’re just standard in the kernal.
This one ^
The physical comedy alone is gold, Also you won’t leave their parents dealing with the nightmares like some of these movies…unless they really fear someone breaking in to piss on their rug.
I’m older GenZ “Zillennial”?
What in particular makes you think there’s not many of us on here? Not like Lemmy makes you state your age on your account.
I’d like to think there’s a difference between “keeping up with the times” and chasing whatever new thing gets advertised.
Unless you’re really into number chasing with benchmarks then just keep using whatever you like until something YOU find better comes along.
Also I’m GenZ and just use whatever comes with the DE, it’s not an old person thing shakes fist.
It’s definitely not just a Lemmy thing just any site that grows a user base.
I kind off think of it like the difference between talking to random people at a local hobby space vs a national convention. Sure you’re gonna still find people with shared interests but you got more people coming in with an agenda or chip on their shoulder, Or just general trolls who target larger groups because it’s more people to get a rise out of.
But you’d have to consult some sociologist or someone for a in-depth factual answer, I’ve just been on a lot of random sites/forums over the years.
Honestly Lemmy has handled it’s growth a lot better than most places online I’ve seen. I’d say people on here are pretty raw but not actively spiteful (mostly), which I very much vibe with.
Not all the time, some mod creators lock their stuff behind a paywall. But also a few modders a while back started taking down their own mods official downloads so it was up to others to keep archives.
That’s what a lot of people were using the ModPiracy subreddit for but it kept being taken down and migrating to new subs.
Awesome! thanks, I’m sorta living under a rock these days when it goes to video game news.
As someone who doesn’t follow the Halo series, what is this? an older canned game or some new unreleased thing?
Think most people just use ROM as a catch all for “console video game format” these days.
