Or I could just... buy a laptop that doesn't have an expiration date.

And when that support period ends... I just install the next Debian release.

When the support period for ChromeOS ends, I'm "officially" out of luck.

I have a 13 year old laptop that runs current Linux distros without a problem.

What browser do you use on mobile that has noscript sync with desktop? You make it sound like it's some feature other mobile browsers have that Firefox is missing.

Debian has been around for 30 years. And on my non-Chromebook I can always install the latest version.

Well this is the Linux Gaming community...

I've been using it for various reasons for about 15 years. So "familiarity" is one of my main reasons now, but a big part of it is to avoid being advertised to in my OS.

What Victory beer? I live down the street from them.

I tried Tidal. The interface is decent enough. Audio quality is obviously better if you take advantage of hifi.

The reason I didn't stick with it is that I do want the recommendations, and tidal was terrible there. So if you don't care about that, go for it.

To expand - uBlock was sold to AdBlock, and so uses the same Acceptable Ads policy. uBlock Origin is a fork made by the original creator of uBlock.

Well, of course. Because it's about just me.

...right?

I've been a fan of FOSS for a while, but the big thing pushing me even further is the fact that commercial services are adding so much advertising and data tracking. I'd happily pay for a piece of software that works as promised and does not include advertising, but when you start throwing ads in my face or putting features behind "IAPs" and subscriptions, I'm going to look for alternatives.

Dude WTF.

Android Auto functionality is also limited - it does not show street names on-screen.

I still see the squirrel from lemdro.id.

To be honest I only tried it because it was on Play Pass but it's been great.

I've been using Podcast Republic for a while and it's solid. Works great with AA.

That... is not at all specified what kind of "mine" it would be. You're assuming it's innocuous, everyone else is assuming it's malicious. But we're all making assumptions.

Ah whoops.

Happy Days Season 5 was quite a ride.

This doesn't make it better. That's $125 per message then.
