This very small percentage of users anyway would be privy to alternative to Adobe's stack ?

Concern will perhaps be mainly for getting new users on FF/other browsers from Chromium.

On Firefox perhaps a UA value can still be set in "general.useragent.override".

Used to do it a couple of years ago, now I just prefer letting websites know that they are still receiving traffic from users running Firefox instead of Chrome.

I didn't notice the 3 years part till I read in your comment.

Are there any privacy respecting CDN services though?

I won't comment on what Session is/was doing with Cloudflare services, but say if I am using DoT on my device for encrypted DNS requests, and the traffic is also E2E encrypted, how much can such a provider really see ?

Tools that we have at my job won't be effective if they receive an encrypted payload.

Could you elaborate on your point of them using Cloudflare ?

My understanding is that their websites would be behind Cloudflare for their CDN and anti-DDoS services, maybe WAF as well. Solely looking at CDN services essentially the options come down to Cloudflare or Akamai who have a global domination of the market.

I'm waiting for a couple more episodes to come out before I start... One of those shows which I would binge watch rather than wait every week.

Yes, by testing I meant I would want to be on the "rolling" release cycle on Debian. Currently the packages are new, but with things like WINE/Proton they will become old pretty quickly I reckon

I have hopped around using VMs in the past, however this year my HDD was dying (bad sectors after about 8-ish years of use), so got an SSD and decided to install Linux instead of cloning my Windows 10 Pro.

I tried going on Debian 11 testing, but there was some issue with the installer displaying any text (as you can imagine this makes it almost impossible to install the OS...) So I hopped to Fedora for a bit -till it broke while I was trying to figure out how to run Windows games, and then to PopOS.

I'm wondering to go to Debian 12 Testing, but need to figure out how I want to partition my SSD otherwise I am currently having to keep erasing everything which of course means I am having to copy data after each new install. This will work till such time that my HDD is alive.

Any suggestions?

I like the phrase "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely".

KOSA is not the only thing one should be worried about, illiterates from UK are bringing in an Online Safety Bill which needs all services with encryption to provide a backdoor for the UK government under the reasoning of "monitoring for CSAM content".

This doesn't just impact UK citizens, but will do for the world.

If I recall correctly, Australia did something similar.

Interesting to see how the 5-eyes try to push similar dumb ideas together.

I just use DDG, and I was told in a different post that it fetches results through Bing.

Much like what you said, Google is better than other engines with regional results being a non-US person.

This adds up really nicely with the newest video of Razbuten "How Games Make Villains Sound Evil"

I see, but how is this different in a phone app? Wouldn't the request still be made to a backend?

Uhh.. not clear on what you're claiming here... you can validate the traffic is going to the expected instance using a web app, without requiring any special software by running Developer tools and heading to the network tab.

Keeping the discussion of running Windows applications through Wine/Proton aside; there are a lot of little things which happen to annoy me while I am using my PopOS install for example the most recent one is my headphones don't play any sound from the left year, it works properly on my other devices...

I'm willing to make it work, but most general users wouldn't be. This statement continues to be true even after the huge amounts of progress Linux community has made to make a better experience.

TTY seesion is definitely not a desktop experience, the pizzaz is lacking which makes it difficult to use for all purposes. I've used it mainly for specialized work on servers.

You could just switch your Desktop Environment/Windown Manager with a TTY session to Ctrl+Alt+F2 (F3, ..., F7) and not install any Xorg/Wayland DE on these sessions.

More drastic measures would be to install a Server version, or remove the DE/WM from the install.

You could also say it is riceist

Username doesn't check out

I am not sure whether DDG or SearX results are optimised by someone, but it is different from what I would see on Google for a given topic.

Looks like someone has come from r/puns

Unless the book is being bought directly from the writer, isn't it really the publisher who is gaining the rewards? My understanding is that the writer is paid a lumpsum for rights of a book by a publisher.

If the entire motto is "benefit of others", the writer themselves can publish it for the public to read openly, or make it a collaborative project where their and other people's contributions are added together.

It's not black and white, both sides of a piracy debate (much like anything else) have their arguments, and could have had reached a better medium.

Probably because of MS's stranglehold on so many customers with their O365 and standalone Office suite ?
