I don't bother with PiHole because DNS-based ad blocking quite frankly sucks and is only getting worse.

I'm still waiting for someone like AdGuard to release a MITM proxy that does something similar to uBlock Origin and strips ads directly from the network traffic

But until then, browser extensions are good enough for most usecases (Firefox user so the adblocking ones work on mobile as well)

Paywall me harder daddy

This is funny

Try Ubuntu mate

'straya!!

I liked the WSL1 approach better. I find it ironic that the Windows kernel lacks so many useful features that it simply wasn't possible to properly implement things like cgroups on top of it, so they just gave up and ran Linux in a VM for WSL2

ngl, this meme tickled me

If I didn't have Google Maps Transit to navigate western Europe, Singapore and even Los Angeles I'd be completely screwed because I come from a country with next to no public transport and had no idea how it was meant to work

I'm glad I'm not the only one

Linux is overrated *by arch users

FTFY

I use Arch btw, and so does my wife

The enshittifications will continue until morale improves

I guess it depends on the industry. Replaceable production line workers following processes that haven't been automated yet are different from say engineers designing the production line

Look, the oil rich countries arent going to discover freedom by themselves

So you still live paycheck to paycheck, except now you have to trust someone else to negotiate on your behalf instead of negotiating yourself

If I was going to r/FortNiteBR, I'd be using private browsing mode on mobile firefox too

Dinosaur companies happily throw money at things, the Salesforce business model isn't terrible tbh

It must've been relaxed since I went through NCEA then (around 15 years ago).

To pass, you needed a certain amount of English and maths credits and then the rest could be made up of whatever other subjects you were studying.

Also, you could pass NCEA Level 1 on unit standards alone. Iirc these didn't have end of year assessments, were either pass/fail (not a achievement, merit or excellence like the achievement standards) and if you had a pulse and / or could write your name, you were likely to pass

meeting the requirements should not be a prerequisite for receiving an NCEA qualification

I'm sorry, what?

Meeting the requirements for a standard is the whole point of having a standard...

I just never 100% trust the code I don't control

I never 100% trust the code I do control. Partially because a lot of it is inherited but also because I know corners were cut but I can't always remember when and where

Haha I'm stealing that. Btw I use Arch (and so does my wife)

HVDC is also used to connect the North Island of New Zealand to the South Island, since much power generation occurs in the South island but more consumption happens in the North.
