I've been told OpenSUSE software availability is very, very limited compared to Fedora's. What do you think about it?

Absolutely disgusting.

I really enjoyed my teenage years with Call Of Duty, but I will never carry a gun. Let's keep these in videogames, please.

Parallel downloads finally?

Aren't most movies a microcosm of a story packed into a couple of hours?

I wouldn't honestly pay for an email service that does not allow for PGP encryption. Go for mailbox.org or posteo for true standard-respecting emails.

Just like Andrew Garfield was obviously NOT in that Spider-man movie.

Honestly it looks too overcrowded. In exactly all the worst ways to start a universe.

But we'll see.

So piracy is legal now. We can use piracy data to train our brain models. No one can say it's not innovative nor transformative.

It's way better at driving cars.

We are advancing humanity!

Was the Ventoy binary blob issue resolved and it's cool again?

What I dislike about XMPP is that the client ecosystem is definitely weaker than DeltaChat. DeltaChat "just works", and it works incredibly similar and efficient across devices.

But yes, I wouldn't mind if the world used XMPP instead, honestly.

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won't be in a long while), so let's try to mobilize people to Signal.

DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.

Because if you pay, you can have as many Proton accounts as you please.

Plasma is amazing and the thing that mostly bugs out on all my systems is SDDM by far, so this is totally the right choice.

F-droid --> izzyOnDroid --> PipePipe

I did not like Mickey 17 much, to be honest. It's supposed to be a comedy, but it's so dry... They try to make you care at some point, and it doesn't work. Also, the cloning sci-fi part is also irrelevant for the final plot.

Haven't watched Novocaine, but by the looks of the trailer, I can tell you there's a lot more of fun action sequences than Mickey 17, if you are into that.

Yep, banning e-scooters is a stupid idea that no one has been able to explain properly to me.

They only ever talk about "annoying kids go too fast where they shouldn't" without realising ANNOYING KIDS WILL ANNOY YOU NO MATTER WHAT.

I actually enjoy listening to podcasts on PipePipe (YouTube client) so ads get autoskipped with SponsorBlock.

That one is infuriating. Having a good client is so key to adoption... And Element is still really, really bad. Yes, it has almost all the features, but refusing multi-account is so so so annoying, and being Electron garbage is horrible. They have so much funding it's ridiculous.

XMPP is another case where adoption has mostly failed exactly because there are no "flagship" clients that do it all.

That's why DeltaChat looks so good. The official clients work great everywhere, and they can do it all!
