im wondering, does using uBlock help in any way? can they block metas pixel and thereby protect you?

thanks a lot, i’ll check them out!

well, i don’t know the last state you know, but they added a floating search bar, which is pretty, but not beneficial beyond that i think. they added a default shortcut for copying the current webaddress which i sorely miss on mullvad. besides i dont think they added any major features i would’ve noticed, but it feels like a very stable experience atm, both on linux and macos.

i would like to move from zen to firefox, but as of right now i’m somewhat unhappy with the vertical tabs in firefox. i’ll keep an eye on them though and make the switch once they got some more features (like only appearing when mousing to the left edge of the window and staying entirely hidden otherwise)

i love the raspberry pi imager for that reason. i don’t want no balena etcher stealing my data, but a gui is very convenient for flashing isos, so raspi imager it is! (works for any iso you want)

manjaro really does some things right. it’s the best grub boot menu i’ve ever seen, with perfect dual/triple booting detection and such, but it kept breaking all the time and was a pain to fix. switched to fedora and never looked back. i got debian on machines where i don’t want to fiddle with the is often. then fedora on what i use a lot and need to be flexible. bazzite on machines where its supposed to just work and manage the nvidia optimus pain, which it does really well. also i’d opt for mint for people starting out, or not as tech savvy people. different distros for different use cases, but manjaro has proven to be too much work (on my workstation and those of multiple friends). (also i’m looking into nixos)

im using fedora and its nice, but i installed bazzite on a mates laptop recently, and when it comes to nvidia, and especially hybrid graphics (laptops with nvidia gpus), it’s so much easier to use bazzite with their preconfigured nvidia stuff than anything else. so, bazzite is really nice to use and based on fedora, but for my main machine i’ll probably stick to fedora for now.

i honestly don’t know. i’ve read about it here and there but never actually tried it

regarding the legality of breaking the sound barrier:

if i remember correctly there’s is an indirect general speedlimit, because any vehicle moving below a certain height is not allowed to go beyond 400 something kph. now this is intended for planes and helicopters and such, but afaik also applies to cars. therefore breaking the sound barrier, sadly, would be illegal. besides, i think breaking the sound barrier is limited to certain zones anyways.

i’m not trying to nitpick on the joke, but rather give supplementary information that may be interesting.

use bython, python with braces XD

hi, since the video has been removed, can anyone point me to the git with the software/ docs?

i also used manjaro, and whilst they had a pretty looking theme on grub, it broke on me three times, where i managed to repair it the first two and then just installed fedora the third time. never looked back. when i installed manjaro i ran an update after boot and immediately lost a bunch of manjaro theming in my DE… wth?

im using arch win11 btw is the flex of the future

if you check the shortcuts section of the settings there should be one option that is maximise and one that is fullscreen. it’s one of those two. i tend to have what you’re looking at on ctrl-meta-f and the true fullscreen you’re trying to achieve on meta-f though i think i set them to those shortcuts 😅

yes and my copy has the text in red and green ink depending on whether it’s describing reality of the fantasy world. it’s an awesome book!

im trying to play the settlers iv gold edition and it’s insanely hard despite it being an offline game. i may try running it on a pc with win7 or xp, but id prefer having it in lutris (same for settlers heritage of kings)

does that mean we could build a wsl that provides the flatpak environment, so that we could get a one click install flatpak for windows?

does that issue not exist in the f-droid version? if so, i’m glad there’s a workaround when i try graphene😅

with how the german community is radically translating everything english directly into german, i too tend to need some time figuring out what the heck they mean. lemmy is translated as „let me“ but in one word, same for meme being translated as „me me“. so, oftentimes, i need to translate half the words of a sentence directly into english without taking context into consideration, then try to put them together and reread, if that makes any sense…
