Weird that their system doesn't flag the flood of political spam, if all it takes is one person replying stop a few times

There is https://valetudo.cloud/ for a lot of existing models, it's about the closest thing we have.

For what? There's not a better option, everything else is based on Chromium which is just moving to supporting Google, and also just removed v2 extensions which cripples what you can do with the browser.

I don't think anyone should ditch Firefox at this point.

Is it just you that needs access? VPN like Tailscale or Wireguard is the most secure option then, as it's not exposing any services to the internet.

Otherwise a reverse proxy in front of things like Traefik or Nginx, make sure things are automatically updated ASAP, and make sure auth is enabled on the services.

Funko and their "partner" should be fined for fraud.

IMO backups on the same provider aren't really backups. Good that they had some at a different one.

With federation between different Matrix servers, what’s the holdup? Why aren’t people leaving Discord?

Poor usability, confusing to get started on, your instance may just vanish at some point, annoying encryption system you have to verify new devices on, feels slow on both browser and in app, lack of features (ie; no low latency game streaming, rich presence, easily joinable voice rooms).

It also shares the same issue as Mastodon, where if your instance vanishes you can't just log in with your account on another one and have everything ready to go, because the account is tied specifically to that original instance.

Overall as a fairly techy type user I still find Matrix, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc all pretty frustrating to use.

A lot of live images will run entirely from RAM, flash drives are typically quit slow so it makes the experience much nicer.

It also sends your IMAP credentials to their servers and receives the mail there, it's not done locally like the older versions.

Wait, isn't a lower frame time better? Why does their screenshot show windows having the lowest and say that it scored last?

Looking at the source article, windows did have generally better 1% lows except for Starfield, so I think this article has it backwards. They also cherry picked 2 results where windows was worse lol.

I'm all for pro-linux stuff but articles like this just reek of making shit up so it looks better.

ispot.tv is on one of my DNS blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?

Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.

Their advertising claims still do get a bit ridiculous though.

Linus has always come across in his videos as the guy that seems fun from the outside, until something goes wrong. That said, I wonder how much is from the pure stress that comes from pushing everything way too hard to try and produce content at a ridiculous pace.

For awhile their videos have felt very rushed, incomplete, and just like they could have done so much more in some of them.

It sounds like this whole thing was a wakeup call for LTT though, hopefully they can figure things out.
