Curious, why not Ubuntu? Doesn't it have more support forums and generally more popular?

[–] rippersnapper@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

True, I'd rather support Firefox as a browser and an organisation. Edge for pages that work best with Chromium engine

[–] rippersnapper@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. Edge gets a lot of bad rep, but I still prefer that over Chrome or Brave (due to its affiliation with crypto)

 

Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

Can they do the same for Google recommending Chrome?

Unpopular opinion: Win 11 works well for me, and is visually better than Win 10. Although it's a fairly recent PC. Although if they keep pushing more telemetry and ads, I'm moving over to Ubuntu.

That's a lot of speculation for a single cable

Checked Apple forums, you're right. It's 200GBs shared

If they can't hold on to these, they should just return them.

Even if they could hold on, they should return them, but clearly aren't willing to.

Kind of missing the point. The current embargo means Russia sells its oil for a lot cheaper to India, which then refines and resells it to the west. This allows for enough oil supply to not push prices too high for everyone and Russia is the only one losing. Sure India doesn't enforce sanctions, but they aren't exactly cozying up like the Chinese.

When talking about messaging apps, you've to use the one that's easiest to use even for the most noob tech person.

Signal uses phone number, because that's how people generally communicate. It's easy to use, setup. No privacy nightmares compared to WhatsApp, or security nightmares compared to Telegram (where E2EE is not even on by default). It's open source, regularly audited and can be used on any device (no more proprietary green bubble nonsense). There's still a market for Threema and Matrix, etc. It just never will be mainstream.

I'm liking it so far. But given this is a federated replacement of Reddit, how does replication of communities work? Cuz there are multiple Technology or World News communities in different instances. Which one do we follow?

At what point will the govt or whatever's left of it fight back against the cartels?
