The 96GB limit is just for Windows. It can be taken higher on Linux.

This is very disappointing.

Correct. That is why it is often referred to as amd64.

I use Caddy due to the extremely simple configuration and automatic SSL.

They do, but apps can integrate their content with the TV app without subscriptions being controlled by Apple as well.

Most likely they want people to use their app where they have complete control of the experience and only show their own content. They do not want their content mixed with content from other services. Also with Apple being a competitor with TV+, Netflix has likely been hesitant to give Apple access to viewer data that Apple could use to decide what kind of movies and shows they want to produce.

It is disappointing, but not that surprising, that only Go5G Next will get this after the beta.

I remember reading this article a couple months ago. Here is a quote:

This operating system is supposedly built around ads; we know how that sounds, but advertising is also prevalent in other TV software platforms including webOS and Fire TV OS. The Trade Desk emphasises a user experience that delivers "better cross-platform content discovery, personalization, subscription management, and potentially fewer (more relevant) ads," so we hope that the importance of ads doesn't detract from the user experience.

If this is actually true, there is no reason to consider Sonos. Especially at the super premium price of $200-$400. That makes the Apple TV look cheap.

There used to be a bundle with both, but that ended over a year ago.

I have been using Nebula for years and it has replaced most of my use of YouTube. Whether it is worth it for you or not depends on what you watch. You can see what content is on Nebula without subscribing to get an idea of what is there.

The biggest problem I have with Nebula is that it is advertised as a “creator owned” company, but that is not actually the case. Here is a blogpost that goes into more detail about that. That being said, from what I am aware of, Nebula still pays creators more than YouTube per view. I just wish they were more transparent about their business.

I am pretty sure it says LINMOB as in Linux Mobile, but I agree that is an absolutely terrible font.

The official Syncthing app is no longer on F-Droid either. Syncthing-Fork is and will continue to be supported.

The official client has, but Syncthing-Fork is still being developed.

China just wants North Korea to keep existing to serve as a buffer. If North Korea falls, it would almost certainly unite with South Korea. Then a very strong ally of the United States with many American military bases would directly border China.

What we would need on the long run is simply replace email with a common standard

That would be ideal, but realistically, if email ever goes away, it would be replaced with a proprietary locked down ecosystem. Likely a messenger app. Link a WhatsApp or Facebook account and you will get messages and notifications through that. I just do not see current tech companies supporting a new open standard for communication.

Despite all of emails flaws, it is one of the few remaining universal forms interoperable communication with little vendor lock-in. It would be great to have something more modern, but not at the expense of openness and interoperability which is likely what would replace it at the current time.

This was very disappointing. It is bad enough that Samsung has made almost no changes to either the S line or the Z Fold for the last 2 or 3 years, but they make it even worse by raising prices. The trade-in deals seem worse than in the past as well. I actually like Samsung's software, but they really need to put more focus on their hardware again.

I mostly use websites in order to use ad blockers and many apps use far more storage than necessary. I mostly use apps when they have functionality that I want that the website is missing or when the app just offers a significantly better experience than the website.

And be on the most expensive Next plan.

Ladybird is still very early in development and is not even targeting an alpha release until 2026. There are no binaries currently available, so the only way to even test what currently exists is to compile the source code. I am excited to see a new competitor, but I also do not have high hopes given how difficult it is to meet all of the web standards. Given the increasing number of websites that have problems or limitations with Firefox, I do not foresee Ladybird ever getting to the point where it could be reliably used by average people. I would love to eventually be proven wrong about this though.

Servo also has nothing to do with Mozilla anymore. It has been a part of the Linux Foundation since Mozilla laid off all of the developers in 2020.
