Only now?!

YSK you can turn off Google's personalised advertising. This prevents them from using things like your browsing history, search history, or personal data to serve you customised advertisements. ( myadcenter.google.com )

It also, consequently, makes the advertisements which they show to you far less valuable. So this feature is not widely advertised.

YSK that Google and other big tech companies don't give a shit about consumer rights or privacy laws and will still sell your targeted advertising data

‘It’s such poor quality software’: GOG owner criticises Windows, says it will support Linux better in the future | VGC ( www.videogameschronicle.com )

In an interview with PC Gamer, Kiciński and managing director Maciej Gołębiewski were asked whether GOG had plans to focus more on Linux going forward, given a growth in pro-Linux and anti-Windows sentiment among some PC players....

Ian's Is Still The Best Site For Tying Your Shoelaces ( aftermath.site )

It can seem a bit silly to recommend a way to tie your shoes, but some knots are just more secure than others. For decades I have favored two specific shoelace knots: Ian’s Fast Knot and Ian’s Secure Shoelace Knot. Ian’s Fast Knot is done so effortlessly as to look like a magic trick, and Ian’s Secure Shoelace Knot has...

KDE Plasma 6.6 Adds a Feature Users Have Been Asking for Forever ( linuxiac.com )

The KDE desktop has long been known for offering nearly limitless customization, but one option has always felt oddly missing: the ability to adjust frame border intensity and contrast for Breeze-themed UI elements, letting users make frames more subtle or more pronounced according to their preference....

Even without the RAM prices being mad, there is no way it would ever be under $500. I think most industry estimates were ~$800 iirc

I wonder if the source for the OS/firmware would be available

I imagine that to open source that all, there'd be a lot of wheels to reinvent

This is fairly common if you play something lots and is known as the Tetris Effect. I once thought that I should light up a corner of my home in real life so that mobs don't spawn.

This is upgrading your AMD GPU on Linux. If it were nvidia then it'd be just as long as the Windows part, from what my friends have said

I don't believe that feeding enough data to an autocomplete machine will mean that the autocomplete suddenly gains sentience or higher consciousness some day. If a toddler had to be shown billions of photos of an apple to know what an apple is, you wouldn't expect them to become the smartest person of all time any time soon.

I stopped playing Rainbox Six Siege many years ago once it was clear that it was a live service game where you effectively had to pay for the new operator each time one came out, as your previous favourite would be nerfed or overshadowed.

careful, people might burn you at the stake for saying that futo stuff is open source because they use their own custom license that says "don't put malware in ur forks of this" and stuff like that

Isn't this post about open source Android apps?

  • Godot - They make an excellent game engine that is only improving, and at a much faster rate than Unity ever has. Being open source also prevents it from enshittifying, like unity has been for years.
  • Wikipedia - One of humanity's most impressive achievements. As close to a neutral source of information on nearly anything as possible. My first port of call when I want to know something.
  • OpenStreetMap / CoMaps - OSM is like wikipedia but for maps and CoMaps is my mobile client of choice.
