Dark Reader browser extension or just a userstyle. For me, Dark Reader works very well for sourcehut.

Something funded by the government but ran by a public org would be ideal.

"the government" which government?

I don't want software beholden to any state interests. I see donationware as the way to go; or if donations can't sustain server costs, donations for sustaining development, and then a public flagship instance which people can pay to use, or self-host for their own server costs.

Same here, a certain printer of mine just did not work with my Windows install whatsoever but works fine with CUPS lol

The main thing base Arch doesn't install is a bootloader and graphical environment. I think most of the time installing a DE also installs the various tools that may be missing from a fresh Arch install.

In any case, I've never had trouble printing on Arch or Arch derivatives. Try following the Arch wiki article on CUPS. So long as you install CUPS I really don't see what printer problems could be attributed to Arch rather than problems with your printer and CUPS on Linux

I find it works fine for most websites and I just disable per site if DR has made a website unreadable

I think developers can upload their own addons for Android now. Or at least I saw quite a wide range of addons available when I went looking for some.

Librewolf has Mozilla sync, otherwise you could try using a third party syncing tool to sync your librewolf profile directory?

I like seeing instances where people have used "she" as the generic pronoun.

Ah, but mistakes could detract from disinformation if it's mistakenly correct!

Personally I'm fine with 8as' specs and don't need any of the extra features of the Pixel 8 so I'd prefer to save the money and get an 8a. Plus 8as are supported for longer. Nothing wrong with getting an 8 instead if that's what you want though

Ah yeah, I've heard that offices are rolling out a new role of office cumdump. Glad to hear from someone already in the role

A contactless card barely takes up any space. It's not particularly easier to lose either. I've never lost my card; I just keep it in my wallet, in my pocket, just like my phone is in my pocket.

Enjoy! For future reference I'd recommend just getting the latest Pixel as you'll get the longest software support. E.g. a Pixel 8a is supported till May 2031, which is plenty of time to get a lot of usage out of your phone.

Agree about the difficulty uploading. I tried to share torrents on a few sites for a video game (which was no longer possible to buy or download legitimately anyway) and some books I'd scanned but got rejected 🤷‍♀️ I understand they have to maintain a quality of uploads and uploaders but it would be nice if they could stay away malware while still making the barrier to entry for sharing your own benign torrents low.

Most of my files are different across machines because of different themes etc. The only dotfiles I have synced across machines are my .zshrc, .gitconfig, .ideavimrc (not my actual vimrc because it has some machine-specific theming), and .p10k.zsh. I have them all in a folder synced with syncthing and then I symlink ~/.zshrc to e.g. ~/dotfiles/.zshrc.

No that's the lingo the professionals use these days

I have a few playlists that are accompaniments to particular stories/pieces of media. Basically playlists with a narrative they follow. Those are somewhat easy to make, because then I just add any song that makes me think of the story and then I sort the songs into chronological order of which part of the narrative I feel they apply to. Then I have a playlist for political music, so I guess that'd be a playlist by topic.

Normally when I listen to music on Spotify I just shuffle my liked songs though.

En-jinx

I say etsy because I think I heard some Linux YouTubers call it that back in the day and it just stuck

I thought it was just "sequel"? Like that was the official pronunciation? Or is there not an accepted "official" pronunciation?
