It's like an abusive relationship for me. I still use Google, convincing myself that their products are good and that they have my best interests in heart. Despite knowing it's not true and that my favorite services are bound to get killed or enshittifed.

Ed, man! !man ed

I guess it's just a federated version of Discord.

Who would ock Firefox?

As in the actual data is bad, inaccurate, opinionated and doesn't explain anything. Half of the chart is just "Cloudflare lol", like at least explain why.

It's a chart that looks useful at first glance, but the more you look at it the less you learn.

StartPage also blocks VPN usage.

Ancedotal but Startpage works perfectly fine with VPN for me. Certainly better than Google, which works but requires a lot of annoying captchas.

Also the actual diagram is bad.

I don't get it...

I haven't. I've actually become increasingly desperate searching for ways to waste time on my phone. What else am I going to do, work?

People who have accessories with a lightning adapter probably. Speakers, docks, etc.

Are those common? I don't think I've ever even seen a speaker with a built-in Lightning dock.

I remember these iPod docks were very common at the time of the 30-pin connector. However by the time Lightning came around wireless audio became more commonplace with Bluetooth, AirPlay and other related technologies (CarPlay, smart speakers etc.)

Those sound fancy, I just use renamed txt files.

Who is this for? Looking at the Apple Store, they sell an official USB-C cable for less ($19, but you can obviously find good quality third-party cables for much less).

Waiting for Godot 5.0

I guess many servers are capping speeds them. Makes sense since I almost never see downloads actually take advantage of my Gigabit internet speeds.

FDM does some clever things to boost download speeds. It splits up a download into different chuncks, and somehow downloads them concurrently. It makes a big difference for large files (for example, Linux ISOs).

Get ready, this is happening again.

That sounds like so much work! I mean even just the website design, you'd need to extensively learn front-end best practices, CSS, JavaScript libraries... Clicks link

It's still my favorite download manager on Windows. It often downloads file significantly faster than the download manager built into browsers. Luckily I never installed it on Linux, since I have a habit of only installing from package managers.

Do you know of a good download manager for Linux?

CalVer isn't confusing.
