I think mullvad might be the cause of that

IMO browser is superior. What do you feel is better in an app?

I’m not taking about me personally using it or not using it

Myopic take. Generally projects are healthier when they have a larger userbase

There’s almost always a backstory for why the makers choose the name they did, but that doesn’t change the harmful result. A bad name seriously limits how much the software will ever get adopted. Heck, if there was a FOSS project i cared about enough then i would fork it and keep everything the same except give it a more palatable name.

Why do useful FOSS things always have the worst names that make it hard to spread.

Exactly. I have no idea how anyone could disagree or think it isn’t worth noting

Don’t believe it.

Seems like it would be useful all the times you aren’t playing a resource heavy game

What makes you think they use US ai? And even if they do it’s surely just a stopgap till they make their pwn. And and all the search engines have a way to turn off ai in your searches. And and and this is the type of purity test that prevents progress from happening

Qwant is fricken awesome, it’s as good as and sometimes even better than Google

When legal wins are ignored, it’s time to get other type of wins

Linux year of the desktop for sure now!

Very cool!

Why would the loser of a competition have insider info about what the winner did to win? Doesn’t make much sense.

I understand your guess, but no, that essentially isn’t possible

iirc battery function management is supposed to happen at a firmware level. So hypothetically it shouldn’t be effected by what os you install. I think what you experienced was just a byproduct of keeping it plugged in 24/7

You CAN do those, but essentially 100% of apps that regular people are gonna want will be: click mac download -> open file -> follow prompts. That’s the point of a standard, which is not to necessarily eliminate alternatives, rather to make a single one be the default for almost 100% of standard situations.

This completely. Speaking as a person who’s more tech skilled than 99% of non-programmers, i can tell you that installing apps is the main tech hurdle for Linux getting mainstream adoption.

There are non-tech hurdles too, but of the actual technology being easy to use then app installation is really the only aspect left that regular people can’t do without a huge dive of tech learning that’s beyond what most people can do.

• Installing on mac: click the Mac download button and follow the prompts.

• Installing on Windows: click the Windows download button and follow the prompts.

• Installing on Linux: there’s no Linux download button, there’s a couple of buttons that say words you’ve never heard of before. They look kinda like buttons to download an app. You click one and try to open it, but it just shows an error, etc etc etc

Hah, there was no bitching, you don’t need to take everything personally. Life is absurd and fleeting, enjoy it when you can
