I'd like to find the guy

Who done me wrong

And stuck my butt up

On this Christmas tree?

Alphabet's monopoly is bad, make no mistake.

But they aren't controlling all electronic means of communication for 90% of the continental United States, as AT&T did in the ma' bell and pa' bell days.

When you browse to a website, your browser passes info about itself to the server hosting that site. This info is intended to help the server provide the best rendering code for your browser. This is called your User Agent.

However, Google is using it here to identify Firefox users, and is apparently choosing to lump them all in a box called "adblock users" instead of trying to identify an ad blocker more accurately.

Wait- OnePlus is good, actually? Last I heard was massive disappointment in the company

This makes me feel like Jeremy Clarkson was on to something in the Top Gear Burma special (if just slightly off)

Especially since their angle is a good midpoint of the trifecta of performance, price, and size.

Are you blind, or getting kickbacks for touting corporate bullshit?

Package not found: functional-government

Did you mean: anarchy from people-are-tired (universe)

As others have said, don't buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there's practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.

Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You're doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.

I miss my e280... With Rockbox, it got me through high school, getting to play Pokémon Silver on it

I got a used Fuze v1 off of eBay that works only as long as it boots rb from SD card, the internal flash now dead

Might be too late for that, but BOY do I have a bridge to sell you!

I've been subscribed to the same family plan, since about 2014ish. I like it, but really don't appreciate that they raised the price for basically fuck all. Only reason I haven't canceled it is that creators I watch on YouTube get far more from me as a Premium user than ad-based viewership

Ever since that switch, I've just straight up used a discord bot. Hasn't failed me yet!

Of course, an argument can be made that this is the evolution of the number of companies that used a variance of "AAA" to appear first in the phone books of old

I'm on a discord server with a Win9x era masochist that has made Streets of SimCity, SimCopter, and SimCity 2000, among other games, work on modern systems. His patchers are here: http://krimsky.net/patchers.html

While you're not completely incorrect about it not being Linux's fault, trying to gatekeep "anywhere outside of Steam support" is just as unhelpful as game developers not focusing on Linux.

Does that same logic extend to not-Steam's ProtonDB, a 3rd party website for tracking how well games play on Linux using Proton?

Somehow, despite being chronically online since xkcd had only double digit comics, I have only just now discovered this webcomic. Thank you, random stranger, for posting this.

In addition to rsync as phx mentioned, you can use photorec to get a deeper scan

You did well pointing that out. Imma just restate it here for those scrolling quickly:
