  • No one has any Idea what happens after death

    What happens after is that brain stops functioning, as a result of that, your body starts to rot. Nothing else happens. Your brain, that I argue is the real you, stops functioning.

    which religion is taking away your freedom?

    My parents circumcised my penis when I didn't know what they were doing, they permanently stole a part of me; and as a result of that crap, my sex life is ruined forever. They took away my freedom because of you shitheads who are ruining our world by influencing people into accepting religion. You guys have the audacity to claim that people have a choice after indoctrinating children of religions so that once they are adult they follow your religion.

    If you are so about choices, then make sure your kids don't get to know about superstitious beliefs until they are an adult and only then tell them about your fantasies that you believe that a bearded man is watching us from the sky. I bet your kid is going to think you've gone crazy.

  • I love it too. It's pretty much Gruvbox.

  • "send a patch via mail" process.

    I don't see a problem with it. I don't know what tools you use, but the current process certainly isn't ancient. Even if I use GitHub or something else, I still highly depend on my e-mail to actually know somebody published a patch and if I am supposed to review it. I don't have to use a GUI coupled with shitty UI decisions. E-mails are very simple in their own way and I don't find it ancient or bad.

  • Yes, I like text more than visual icons. More proof is given by the fact that I used words like cpu, mem, net over the thousands of icons I could've used instead, considering that the font I am using is a Nerd Font patched one.

  • I use JetBrains Mono font. I am not sure what you meant by font rendering, so if you're interested, you can check my dotfiles.

  • I experienced this too. That's why I stopped asking them anything after my first query (why my keybindings were not working when defined in another file) and relied on guess work. I also found the community kind of dead, so you don't actually get the answers quicker than the guess work will get you there.

  • I had to look through the source code of their widgets (like wibox.widget.textclock, awful.titlebar.widget.maximizedbutton) they use in their default config file to have a grasp of what's happening. Looking through others' dotfiles was more pain because it's not supposed to be looked upon by the beginners, so they cram all they know in a few lines and leave you guessing.

  • You are correct.

  • The program itself isn't really bigger, what makes the difference is that it won't use the dependencies installed by your native package manager, it will download them, it also will download various runtimes if needed for the program, these runtimes are not really supposed to be ran if you compile the package yourself for your distribution, but if you use Flatpak, it is going to run all these runtimes for the program to work, these runtimes will use more RAM than the native build, if the runtime is not optimised, then it will also contribute to higher use of CPU and everything else in general.

    It will differ from program to program, but I'll let you know that I have natively compiled EasyEffects (real-time audio manipulation) and also have tried the Flatpak build. The native version hardly uses more than 5% CPU, and is also lightweight in terms of RAM. But the Flatpak build took significantly more RAM usage and my CPU went 80% whenever I played music with the same preset that I tested on the native build. Flatpak also had to download 700-900 MB worth of internet (no idea how much space it took after installation) for the program to run.

  • They did the silent treatment on me for a long time.

  • I pretty much only use Bard. Bing Chat is just too fucking slow. I have used Bard for my SQL stuff and other light coding stuff, and it works well & really fast. Bing Chat was rushed, and I doubt Microsoft is ever going to fix the shitty code that their employees wrote to meet the deadline.

  • I was ignoring the 92% percent part of it in my original comment when I said "not even open-source" because I think pretty much all privacy advocates know that it is built on top of Chromium.

    I am not sure what your true source is, but mine is this from where I am quoting:

    We don’t publish it under an open-source license and only release obfuscated versions of it. The obfuscation is partly there to improve performance, but it also very much is the first line of defense, to prevent other parties from taking the code and building an equivalent browser (essentially a fork) too easily.

    While they release the source code of the UI elements, it seems that they only release a obfuscated version of the UI source code, which I am afraid won't go well If I want to easily "audit and go through". Though it's possible they have now changed their minds and my news sources are outdated.

  • I use Vivaldi + AdNauseam (though they have a built-in adblocker which I have disabled.)

  • Try Kiwi Browser and Yandex Browser.

  • Websites become less profitable

    That's why I use AdNauseam (a fork of uBlock but with a nicer philosophy).

  • It isn't even open source. I don't trust it, but it's my primary browser because I love its customization stuff and because it's Chromium (I have a potato laptop and Gecko is known for higher memory usage).

  • Kiwi Browser and Yandex Browser lets you use any Chromium extension, and Firefox Nightly, with some hacks, lets you use any Firefox addon available on the webstore.

    Firefox's stable version also comes with uBlock.

  • Flatpaks are slow and take more resources. It is only useful for the riches who can afford 16 GB+ RAM and TBs of storage.
