That’s the thing. I get that people using the service on a third party client and not seeing ads is hurting their bottom line as they use bandwidth and not make money. But just banning them outright is a shit move. Ideally they would’ve made it part of Reddit Premium to make that a bit more worthwhile.

Proton can also be used by other tools like Bottles. It’s very similar to Lutris but with a more general purpose focus, rather than just gaming.

Useradd is the basic unix one, so that should work regardless of distro. Adduser does some special Debian stuff iirc

None of the big VPN companies officially endorse use if their services for piracy or any illegal activities for that matter.

But to crack down on it they would have to keep logs on your activity and with that most of their legitimate use cases wouldn’t be valid anymore either.

SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/

Xorg is still available in RHEL 9 to my knowledge

They have to comply until 6 March 2024 under the Digital Markets Act, so hopefully we should see sideloading very soon. Fingers crossed

But even with an immutable distro you don’t have to reboot. The updated image just gets downloaded in the background and booted into when you restart. There is no harm in still being booted from the old image id you don’t specifically need anything only included in the new one. Nothing forces you to reboot.

Fair point. Them not at least using USB 3 across the line up is silly and I don’t really see what they gain from doing it apart from maybe saving a cent in production.

But on the other hand I don’t think it matters either. The vast majority of people probably don’t plug their phone in for anything but charging and the few people that record large video files on their phone will probably get a pro model either.

So yeah USB 2 speeds are silly and I don’t want to defend a trillion dollar company for saving a cent on production but I don’t think it matters either.

It’s Fedora. Moving out the legacy cruft and focusing development on modern technologies is precisely what makes it great imo.

Both iPhone 15 models were good iterative updates in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking, sure, but Apple finally adopting both USB-C and AV1 is great to see and the programmable action button on the pro models is a nice addition as well.

Me too. I’m glad to see them adopting wlroots and focusing on porting components like the panel first. This way we can run the DE on compositors like labwc and the Xfce developers don’t need to waste resources on reinventing the wheel by writing a compositor from scratch.

That is true. But that’d be the case for any online/cloud 2FA service. So you could either have a local 2FA app just for Bitwarden or set up less secure but more convenient email 2FA.

I’d argue it’s implied that you mean the coming February if no year is specified.

I personally use Bitwarden for my 2FA needs. As others mentioned you can self host the server but personally I have no reason not to trust their SaaS solution, especially now that they offer EU hosted servers. If all you want is a basic authenticator app that does only one thing give FreeOTP a try, it’s made my RedHat. You can then sync the applications state.

Yeah who defederated kbin?

I have the big LTT Store water bottle ever since it came out, so roughly two years ago? I replaced the lid once (not because it was broken but because i like the new one more) and it’s holding up great.

This is amazing! Honestly a no brainer feature. Having to create an account just to contribute on one project’s instance is not a great experience currently and the reason I mainly stick to Github.

It’s the same as with email. If I communicate with someone using Gmail, then yes, of course Google also gets some my data. But it’s still better than being forced to use Gmail because my friend is on Gmail right?

Macs have a big user base, if you like it or not.

Apple supporting Vulkan or not supporting it will not change a thing about that.

Developers support platforms where the users are. Having good support for Vulkan on Macs would make their life easier.

I fail to see how that’s a bad thing. Apple not supporting Vulkan won’t drive the average user to install Linux as they don’t know what it even is.
