  • I might challenge that. If a political organization achieves its stated goals I don't think they dust their hands off & find new jobs.

    It's happened before that a group of people with a set of goals achieve those goals but continue to "push" out of habit, financial incentives, or a desire to solidify those goals more permanently. This can eventually lead to a bastardization of the original goals.

    From a practical perspective this could create "infinite progressivism".

  • Sorry you're getting down voted & "dunked on" so much in this post. Your question was asked in good faith. It doesn't deserve all of this negativity.

    I'll go on record as thanking you for asking! It's a fair question!

  • Well, here's a list. If you write a script please share it, but it looks like quite an endeavor...

  • I love the idea! $8.99 per month is a bit steep...

    EDIT: Thinking more about the price, Mozilla is mostly funded by Google but this is a blatantly anti-advertising/anti-Google move. Mozilla must be trying to establish a new revenue stream to get themselves independent of Google. It's a balls-y move!

    If I'm correct in that thinking it does help justify the cost and put it in context.

  • I really like 1440 news which is a news aggregation/curation service. They try to be politically unbiased, and they send you an email each morning with the news from yesterday (sort of like a print newspaper).

    I also read allsides.com sometimes, which is another unbiased aggregator service.

  • A smartphone's virtual keyboard would be worse (smaller) than the Kindle's, wouldn't it? Maybe I should try it though. I mean, I'm pecking this message on my smartphone's virtual keyboard so...

  • That's not a bad idea. I keep a Linux machine in the living room attached to the TV with a wireless keyboard, so I'm already set up!

  • Whoa! That'd be sweet! If you go for it please post updates with pictures!!??

  • Why is Linux total at 1.95%, but the most popular distros don't add up to nearly 1.95%? Is it SteamOS making up the difference?

  • Unpopular opinion: home automation is overblown. Except for the disabled or edge cases the convenience these solutions add are comparable to the inconvenience they bring (added expensive, harder to maintain, repair, replace, etc).

    I'll get out of bed to turn off the lights.

  • These are my main core apps. Not fully divested from closed ecosystems (YouTube & Google Maps are in there with alternative private frontends). But close enough for me.

    • Mull - Private Firefox
    • OrganicMaps & GMaps WV - Maps
    • Eternity - Lemmy
    • Meglodon - Mastadon
    • ProtonVPN - VPN
    • AntennaPod - Podcasts
    • Bitwarden - Passwords
    • Joplin - Notes
    • NewPipe Sponsorblock - YouTube w/o ads or in-video promotions
    • VLC - Music & video
    • Yet Another Call Blocker - Spam calls
    • Geometric Weather - Weather
    • Making Sense: Centrist & atheist host talks politics, ethics, philosophy issues with guests.
    • Huberman Lab: Science-based health advice
  • Read the GitHub page. I don't understand all of it, but what I think I understand sounds great! Proton would be available without Steam!

    What's all of this stuff about "protonfixes" though? What is "protonfixes"? And how is it better with this new launcher?

  • I think it's not good manners to send video traffic through tor. They don't have a ton of bandwidth, so I've read the community asks people to find other ways to do high-bandwidth activities privately.

  • "Sure, it is not perfect. But, sometimes it is incredibly helpful. No matter what you do with it, unfortunately, it is not an open-source solution."

    This article needed a better ai to write it .

  • I use Linux at the office. I'm the only employee at my company who does.

    I haven't had many issues collaborating with others using libreoffice while they use MS office. I do keep a Windows VM running for those somewhat rare instances where I need Windows for something though. I also needed to invest quite some time to figure out Linux alternatives for everything (how to use company VPN, how to get MS Teams working, how to connect to network drives, etc).

    But so far so good. Been 100% Linux at work for maybe ~1.5 years?

  • I sneak up behind her and give her "tiger rubs", which is aggressive up & down motion on the ribs & side meat.

    She loves it x20 years

  • Super cool (except the Instagram link)

  • Yup, power supplies and batteries are also usually the first components to die. All the more reason to avoid cheap ones.
