So, this question comes from someone with no background in development or marketing but, wouldn’t this money be better spent on develoment or marketing of Firefox. I’m a little more worried about having a long term alternative to Chrome based browsers than self hosting photos. This is not a knock on Ente or any other photo hosting script, I am very interested in a fully functional self hosted Google photos alternative, but my priorities start with Firefox.

All ads are garbage. There’s no such thing as a good ad. They are in place to push an entities will upon you, there is no upside to any ad for the viewer. Firefox and Ublock Origin for safety and sanity.

I hit the same wall with Dvorak layout.

Make a file named just a bunch of spaces with double quotes around them. It’s made confusing because of the 4 double quotes, two are escaped by the backslashes immediately before them.

Didn’t think about that, thanks.

Disconnected my TV from the Internet. I stream media from a PC on my lan to Kodi running on a fire stick. Setup openwrt to drop all packets to wan from the fire stick. These companies can get fucked and if they ever figure out a way to stop me from owning my devices, I’ll just take up some new hobbies and be done with it all.

Logitech’s quality has been steadily dropping. Got fed up with thumb trackball buttons failing in less than 2 years. Logitech was my go to for most computer peripherals, but I just can’t justify replacing all my family’s trackballs every two years at $60 a pop.

Switched over to Elecom because they are one of the only brands selling wired thumb trackballs and so far they are great. It’s unfortunate, my first Logitech trackball lasted at least 10 years. It never broke, just got lost in a move. Used to love their stuff but, the only thing left from the Logitech I bought my first trackball from is the name.

This should be a jailable crime.

You are on the path to be that family member or friend for someone else. Welcome.

Every product that has overtaken another has started in single digits. This is hardly a point at all.

You can go in to settings and select what search engines to pull from. The defaults on that instance may not be sufficient.

I’m crying for them.

I have been using tribler for a few years. It works well, abeit a bit slower than a plain torrent program, but still very reasonable.

I see a lot of people talking about using I2P for torrents but, as far as I know, I2P cannot use torrents from outside the I2P network. In addition to this, there is a non-trivial setup and confusing interface that people need to learn, whereas Tribler acts like any other torrent program, just with onion style routing. I really like I2P, but there’s still more work to be done to attract more people and make it a truly viable alternative for most torrent needs.

I buy movie tickets and I also watch cams. Sometimes I watch before, because I can’t make it to the theater yet, sometimes afterwards so I can have a repeat watch. Sometimes I watch and the movie is trash, so I save money to spend on a different one. Sometimes the cam rips aren’t good enough to watch, other times, they are near DVD quality.

I have been watching cams and going to the movie theater since the 90s and I doubt that will change, but I never understand the hatred aimed at people who watch cams. Why bash on people who are enjoying something that you do not?

Yeah, I’m not installing DRM to watch anything on any service. I’ll pirate, thanks very much.

Tried Redhat in the late 90s, but I really started using Linux with Mandrake, a few years later.

Everything is accessible, but only through n2n vpn.

This information is good, but overwhelming for newbies. This is what I tell people interesting in using Linux:

Start with Linux Mint. If you decide later on that you want to delve deeper, check out distrowatch for a good list of distros with descriptions.

Covering IRL advertisements is the only thing that interests me with this sort of tech. I would love to cover billboards with random memes or even just erase them. THAT would be a reason worth looking goofy as hell for.
