Actually not what? And yes, I know. Apparently they think that’s a bad fit for the thing they’re doing. If you disagree, it’s open source, fork it and implement it.

It’s doing fine? I don’t use their email so I can’t speak about that, but… Did you have any specific questions?

Or maybe they just think it’s a bad idea? Personally, I do too.

That would be the very worst malware. I mean both the malware that installed it and win11…

Ah yes, the update nobody actually wants…

Vivaldi has said they will as long as the code is in Chromium, and are planning on it going away by June of next year.

No idea about Brave, I don’t use it and never will.

This did give me the motivation to switch to back to Firefox, and later possibly Librewolf though, so thanks Google.

No. I checked it out twice, looked around, and noped out. Haven’t been back since.

I don’t care what it’s called as long as it’s a decent distro and does what I need it to do.

If you’re going to not use software because you don’t like a program with a similar name, I really don’t know what to tell you… 🤷‍♂️

Cheaper than what? Scrounged free parts?

Unless it’s all you have. Speaking as someone that’s at times been poor af, sometimes people just have to cobble up a frankensystem from whatever parts they can scrounge.

One of the things I love about linux is that it makes this reasonably possible.

Weechat. Terminal based, flexible scripting system using a handful of languages, still actively developed, and I can make it work the way I want it to work.

Don’t you have anything better to do than fill out this survey?

Nah, I’m good. I’m fine with services being limited to what information they can convince my browser to give them, rather than what they can convince my phone to give them. Or try and convince me to give them permission to access.

I wouldn’t even bring my phone, or if I absolutely needed something like that, I’d buy a cheapass pre-paid burner. And keep it off until you actually need it.

Phone: Nokia 5160 I think it was.

Computer: ZX-81

Yep, I and a few friends use it.

NurdRage for chemistry goodness.

Probably depends how you define things. Like, is Xubuntu Xubuntu or Ubuntu with Xfce included by default? How much change is necessary before it’s not “debian with added bits”?

I don’t. Modern computers have a LOT of resources. The whole ‘minimalist computing’ thing some people go on about is really odd to me. And I say that as someone who remembers when 16K was impressive. I can see it for restricted environments, where every byte counts, but not for desktops.
