Plasticity, advertised as CAD for artists and made by a single dev. It isn’t free, but you own the copy you buy forever and get a year of updates after you buy the copy.

I ended up on this piece of software because it has really beautiful design and runs well on Linux without any compatibility layers. There’s a 30 day free trial if you want to check it out

All my banking apps and credit card apps have worked flawlessly on Graphene OS. You’re correct that tap to pay doesn’t work, which is a bummer. But that is just Google spyware as well, honestly.

I heard about this a while ago, but I remember the GrapheneOS team talking about suing Google if they didn’t allow them to pass play integrity checks like they should be able to, but Google just doesn’t let them. That’s the only reason tap to pay doesn’t work and some baking apps have issues, its Google purposefully limiting graphene OS so they have a competitive edge somewhere.

You’re substantially increasing your chances of developing some form of cancer vs baseline though.

Great video by Howtown on this that I think everyone should watch, at the end of the video here’s a snip of health outcomes vs alcohol consumption based on the most update to date science. The increased risk on the chart is per year, so with with 5 -6 drinks per day any given year you have ~1.5x the likely hood of developing an alcohol consumption related health problem, like cancer.

It’s very stupid to install a rootkit spyware on your computer to play a video game. Now that spyware is owned by the Saudi government too. Assuming you play on PC.

I sorta dig Frame™

You are correct, it is just a privacy respecting meta search engine! I self host my own instance, another thing to love.

4get is wayyyyy better imo, here’s a list of many instances. https://4get.ca/instances (my instance https://4get.lurx.net/)

Edit: because I think it’s funny as well, here is the creator of 4get self made comparison between 4get and searx

The key thing is Linux is free and open source, free as In eat shit and fucking die government fucking pigs.

1. TF2

Its just so good, played it a fair bit when I was a young teen and picked it up again a couple years ago and haven’t stopped playing 8 - 20 hours a week. Best game ever imo, never gets old.

2. Garry’s Mod

Easily my favorite game when I was in middle school and high school, and it still holds a very dear spot in my heart and memories from that era of my life. Excited for s&b

3. Cyberpunk 2077

I remember seeing the teaser trailer when I was a preteen and was so hyped, took like 10 years but when it did come out I had covid (which was lucky for me because I didn’t feel that sick and I got paid leave for 14 days to play the game). Played on PC from day 1 and beat the game In a week or so, it wasn’t that buggy imo. I loved the story and I encountered minimal issues during my play through, and only one that caused me to need to reload a save.

Other favs probably rimworld, gta 4, stanleys parable

As the other guy said, double edged sword. Asbestos was fucking great, and is still used for certain things because it’s great. The poor interaction with human biology was the other side of the sword.

An aside, I just pulled a fuck load of vinyl asbestos tile out of a house a year ago and while it wasn’t actually all that dangerous because I took proper precautions it’s sorta scary anyway cause of the poor interaction thing.

Theres evidence they use the very popular tool cursor that many devs and large companies use.

True, but crypto is used very successfully all the time to purchase things online. Now just because most of those transactions are for drugs doesn’t mean it doesn’t work, steam should start accepting monero, the only truly secure and private crypto currency.

Just change nozzles every print, you can get cheap Chinese nozles for less than a $1 a pop.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In this case, my personal experience and the dozens of other people who have agreed with me beg to differ.

I live in America. The USA is a disgusting fucking country who brings suffering on the world.

Fedora, great blend of bleeding edge and stability. Plus Linus uses it, so what better praise could you get.

On a fundamental level there is absolutely no meaning to life, it happened randomly over great great spans of time.

On a human level the meaning of life is enjoying it to the best of your ability.

The post is about security /privacy, the non American ceos political opinions don’t impact that. Proton is still a good VPN/mail provider

Good to hear, I was hoping that wouldn’t get approved by the engineering and steering committee
