That behavior fucking sucks actually

Pro or anti consumer features? x’)

I have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month, quite happy about it so far.

My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.

However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.

It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.

The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it’s an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.

I like the electric part.

What I don’t like is that it’s a steaming heap of spy-ware on wheels with no opt-out ability.

Which may lead to more expensive insurance depending on your driving style, or could be abused for even more nefarious reasons.

It’s not LibreWolf, but how about IceRaven?
https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

Has been my goto FireFox fork for Android for years.

I’ve been happily using the clock app that comes embedded with LineageOS for years now.

If you don’t want to switch to LineageOS,
then you can still find/install it from ApkMirror:

The more I hear about Android 15,
the less excited I get for it…

OP I agree with you, it’s a great idea imo.
I’ve been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban

I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it’s good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool

Wayland might be the future,
but today we’re still living in the present…

I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.

Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…

E.g:

• Grayed out screen under HDR
• LookingGlass unable to boot in fullscreen
• Some program icons replaced with Wayland icon when running
• …

How do you think news sites earn money? They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.

I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).

Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.

In addition the sites contain advertisements.

Only these 2:

• world@lemmy.world
• worldnews@lemmy.ml

Because they:

• Spam up your feed
• Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
• Try to manipulate you

Human Centipede,
that shit is banned in a few countries for a reason…

Ah sorry that wasn’t clear to me,
thought you where talking about KVMs as in Kernel Virtual Machines :)

I’m using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:
https://looking-glass.io/

And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:
https://github.com/olavmrk/usb-libvirt-hotplug

Hope these will prove useful to you :)

Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:
https://github.com/Metastem/wikiless

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.

Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.

I’m looking for stability in my daily driver though.

Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

For me the experience has been:

• Stable
• Easy to use
• Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro…

Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

Additionally, it’s all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.

As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…

By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor…
