So much for Republicans being “tough on crime,” this law would be more effective (for the purpose of fighting street crime) if they just removed the whole racist bullshit. Of course, that’s not what this law is intended to do. This is some stupid political game where Republicans present a bill that is “intended” to fight street crime. Every sane person and media establishment will see and criticise it for being racist, which it is. Then Republicans and Fox can yell about how those darn woke communists “don’t care about the community” and “aren’t tough on crime.” Also did I mention it’s hella racist? Because it’s hella racist.

I’ve recently discovered an extension called Consent-O-Matic, which automatically completes cookie forms. Also, uBlock Origin includes lists (disabled by default) that will block all sorts of annoyances, including newsletter shite.

RAR isn’t open source.

Oh I’m sure they have plenty of problems, but it’s probably only minorities and poor people who experience them so who cares!

Ah. Guess I’ve just been lucky.

I haven’t used Discord in a while so YMMV but I used to use WebCord and screen sharing worked pretty well IIRC. It uses an up-to-date Electron version which has better support for modern desktop Linux protocols. There are probably plenty of other alternative clients that just repackage the web app with better Linux support. There’s also gtkcord4 which is a native Gtk client, though definitely not as polished as the official client.

Can someone please tell me why everyone hates on WebP? It’s supported by basically everything, has better compression, supports both lossy and lossless compression, and supports an alpha channel. It’s basically a trade-off between PNG/JPEG for compatibility and JPEG-XL for features and compression.

Are we forgetting Windows 2000?

Idk, twenty twenty-something. But Chromium with the YouTube homepage takes less RAM than GNOME Software and GNOME Shell, which either says I should move to Xfce or that Chromium has improved. Can’t speak on VS Code though since I run that in a distrobox and podman is broken for me rn.

Even on Chromebooks you can install Firefox.

with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring?

Unfortunately the built-in screenshot tool doesn’t have any editing capabilities.

The best way to avoid scam emails is just to change your email account’s password to a random string, not save it, then log out. I’ve also shredded my SIM card so I can’t receive scam texts.

Microsoft Chief Marketing Officer Yusuf Medhi called 2024 “the year of the AI PC” in today’s announcement.

What? No! It’s not the “year of the AI PC,” it’s the year of the Linux desktop, like every year before and after! You can’t just steal our year(s) from us!
