Good to know. When I get this prompt at home I’ll be watching my Pihole server quite closely for a while to see for sure.

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it. If we find out “I do not consent” leads to a “Close our account” page, it’s time for pitchforks, especially since they recently had a huge sale on lifetime memberships.

Tea-totaler actually, unless it’s a REALLY bad week. Then my friend Jack comes for a visit and things get even more fucked up.

More of just a hermit.

Pretty shite, honestly. Going to be a bit of a piece of shit until Friday at 5, at which point I’ll be disappearing from society for a few days

Ooh! Do Teams next

HELllllo everybody and welcome back to the BrightWorks

Love that guy

“Hey Copilot- download the most recent ISO of KDE Neon.”

How old are you? When I hit my mid 30s, I started sleeping far less. I’m 45 now and sleeping 12-8am is completely impossible, even with sleeping pills, patches, melotonin- it’s all useless and makes NO difference.

They’re attempting to make excuses for their inability to create functional software

In my scenario- ~25 clients with onsite (and replicated) backups, a new Truenas machine every time isn’t a feasable thing, so fingers crossed they don’t start increasing the markup on their “branded” drives. Ugh.

They’re all updated to the latest DSM, maybe any change is just on new models shipping.

We use a LOT of their small 2 bay units at customer sites, and the latest we’ve installed were using Synology brand drives, so not sure about those

I’ve only seen the “non supported drive installed” notification once and in my experience it affected absolutely nothing about the device.

As an owner of an old pine phone, I can confidently say avoid for now. Not remotely ready or reliable enough.

People would be making TikTok videos eating asbestos and cramming it up their bums claiming it cures COVID

Firefox/Mozilla operated without any of the new additions for nearly the entire history of the internet until this year. If anything, “over”-reacting to the new policies was too weak a reaction. You do you and all, but I’ll agree to very strongly disagree.

Mine is E2EE.

That article says it better than I can in s short post. Firefox’s terms of use/privacy policy went over like a lead balloon last month.

I think it’s incredibly important that people know, with absolute certainty, whether or not the new Mozilla/Firefox privacy policy in any way applies to / covers such a service.

I’m not saying I know the answer- What I’m saying without a concrete, permanently applied answer it’s not even considerable.

Been there. Accepted

To answer your questions though, I suggest the non-Cosmic version of Pop!OS. (and switch to wayland if it’s not the default yet- not sure, I’ve had this install for YEARS) It’s a good blend of “just works” and “up to date enough” to run anything, and I recommend steering well clear of Arch. I’ve been using Linux for a decade and I’ve always found a way to whoopsie it into a broken state. That’s a “me problem” yes, but if I can fudge it up that easily and I have experience using it, I think it’s unsuitable to recommend to anyone.

Most people live in a web browser- does it really matter if the desktop environment isn’t riced enough or isn’t windows-ey enough? That said, it takes actual hackery to make any version of Windows usable these days, so I’ll forgive a distro not being “absolutely elite” for someone’s preferences. Let’s not compare Linux forums to Windows forums, where no-one has ever, I repeat ever received ANY useful advice besides reinstalling their Windows, am I right?

I typed 6 words. Are you alright
