Yeah, I can still access it just fine, but the word "Upgrade" didn't make me very happy...

It seems to be pretty lighthearted to me personally. There might be some context that would make this a dick move but it doesn't look that way based on this meme

😳

I used Kagi for a year then switched back to DDG after I had concerns with privacy. Where you can ensure DDG isn't getting your data by using a trusted VPN and a fingerprint-resistant browser, you are forced into a "trust me bro" situation with Kagi due to the need to verify your account subscription. Kagi's proposed solution for this is privacy pass, but this article calls that into question as well. Privacy pass must also prevent you from using the customization in Kagi due to the supposed privacy benefits, which takes more away from the reason you would use Kagi in the first place. I do find it odd how a proprietary paid search engine seems to get such a large amount of praise within privacy communities when there are fundamental challenges in making a paid search engine actually private.

uBlock Origin seems to do a pretty good job at rejecting personalized adverts.

PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean??

My instance admin is also extremely oppressive.

First time I've seen it. Maybe your Lemmy account is haunted?

Yeah they're not blocking access or anything, I was just infuriated by the message

We do what we must because we can

nice

I think you linked the wrong video, this should be the right one

Not with the asterisk! The shell automatically expands the asterisk before sending the args to rm, removing every French language pack in your root directory.

One thing to keep in mind with Framework is the price, for gaming it's likely you'll want a dedicated GPU which means an expensive Framework 16. Not including required parts that you can buy yourself like RAM and storage, you'll be spending at least $1700.

The idea is that you will save money over time since you can upgrade individual components rather than the entire laptop, but the Framework 16 is still very expensive for the specs you're getting. You'll have to decide if this tradeoff for upfront price is worth it for the upgradability/repairability.

Personally, I have a Framework 13 that I recently upgraded from 12th gen Intel to Ryzen 300 series. I've also had issues with my laptop before and the support was excellent. It was nice that they were able to ship a replacement mainboard rather than requiring me to send in my whole laptop. So the upgrades and repairs are very real advantages on the Framework.

Yeah, and browsers are running the same engines across platforms, so there are very few differences between using Firefox on Linux and using Firefox on Windows. My best guess is what @[email protected] said, that it's just allowlisting new Windows user agents and was intended to target people running ancient versions of Windows.

What the fuck crazy Lemmy connection lol, I'm currently president of RHLUG

Gramatically correct but I was definitely confused at first as to what the "it" referred to (the "war on Christmas" or Christmas itself)

I worked at a Topgolf for a little over a year, and it is incredible how much some companies will spend on corporate events there

Nice try. For people looking for the real link, it's here.
