Fellow humans should I finish the bird muscle with a saccharine concoction, an overfermented grape extract concoction, or a ground plant concoction from the geographic region of Carolina? I know us fellow humans frequently debate the proper and just pairing of concoction and flesh.

The framework 13 is around a grand pre built and around 900 if you have a spare SSD and SODIMM modules laying around.

I feel like an i3 or Celeron is not really a fair comparison. The framework machines are quite powerful and they're targeting the prosumer/workstation market.

In the case of sustainability you do not have to trash the parts on upgrade. Framework sells cases to repurpose the main board as a PC/server. You could also buy a shell and create a second laptop. When it comes to throwing out parts on repair or upgrade you are throwing out less overall.

It's also a fairly new company so between that and the market they're targeting the products are fairly expensive. Further down the line they could become much more affordable as the company scales. But yeah it does not sound like Framework laptops are a good fit for you right now.

But on the other hand if chemicals in the water make the friggen frogs gay maybe the same applies to mermaids. Maybe all that's left are a handful of super gay mermaids.

I also had this problem but after setting my current location which requests location permissions it works. I think there's a slight bug where it doesn't ask for location permissions on launch. Similarly, the rain notification was failing because it only asked for location permissions while using the app not constantly.

Sorry but what you're referring to as Windows is actually GNU/NT Kernel...

PainInTheAES ,

The one true bussy

Could be a state actor too

PainInTheAES ,

Sorry I should have been more clear too. I was trying to convey that the dev could have been paid off/threatened or it could be the work of a state actor or team of state actors under an alias. In one case they could care about their reputation but in the other maybe not.

Use KDE, especially Plasma 6. Hasn't been an issue for me FW13 12Gen Intel since the last few Plasma 5 releases. I tried GNOME for a while but it can go pound sand.

Apex Legends streamers surprised to find aimbot and other hacks added to their PCs in the middle of major competition via anti-cheat software (www.pcgamer.com)

Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times.....

As a nevernude I prefer no holes bared

Alternatively you learned to jump through all of Window's hoops over the years of using it. Also, experience in the sense of configuration and hoops can vary wildly by distro. Linux has of course not always had the cleanest UI/UX but it's always getting better and simply does not have the level of investments as Windows or MacOS. When Linux does have investment and runs on corporate sponsored hardware it's usually pretty solid and easy to use e.g. ChromeOS, Android, and many server and cloud products. Also some people may appreciate the level of customizability that "washing clothes by hand" provides.

I currently use gandi but I'm planning on moving to cloudflare. Not in too much of a rush since I did a 10 year lease.

PainInTheAES ,

Not drastically, mostly improved Wayland support, some minor GUI improvements, and desktop cube

PainInTheAES ,

As far as the server goes, setting up wg-easy is pretty painless.

PainInTheAES ,

Just learn how to do everything in the TTY. GUIs are bloat

PainInTheAES ,

I love Linux Subsystem for Drugs!

PainInTheAES ,

Thanks, now I'm running Quake on my brain.

PainInTheAES ,

Honestly I do alternate day fasting and weed makes it so much easier when I start running out of energy at the end of the day.

Sign me up ᕙ⁠(⁠ಠ⁠ ⁠ਊ⁠ ⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ᕗ

PainInTheAES ,

Yeah, shutdown /s /t $time_seconds

Firefox somewhat regularly crashes or freezes up my laptop (16Gb) due to memory usage and I'm running the default Arch package. I ended up installing a memory watchdog that kills processes when they start using too much. Although I do hoard tabs.

I do use systemd. I pretty much run stock EndeavorOS

Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

I've been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I'm looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will also...

PainInTheAES ,

AdGuard Home and blocky are other popular options. I switched over to AdGuard Home a while back because it supported DNS over HTTPS although I'm not sure if that's still a relevant reason. I run AGH as a docker container but it is easy to run in a LXC or VM. There's also a tool to sync configs if you need multiple instances. Notice: AGH block lists are formatted like uBlock Origin lists so you will not be able to use PiHole style lists.

DNS based ad blockers won't work when ads are served from the same place as the content. Which is why DNS based ad blockers don't work against Twitch or YouTube. So YMMV.

If you're looking to block interface ads and select streaming service ads there are block lists available like this one. The game with smart TVs is blocking the ads breaks the TV a little because sometimes it calls back to the same servers for updates and misc info like weather.

Your best bet is getting a platform your can sideload apps onto and running SmartTube
