Is it impossible to be private online?

    Somewhere, in the bottom of a dusty drawer, I have a Mosaic badge that reads “Internet Killer App”. Browsers have come a long way since then. I don’t really care what megacorp has data on me. What’s important is getting stuff done and interoperability across all the devices I use. So I’ve chosen Safari.

    i'm pretty new to online privacy but i've noticed that all social media sites grab your location from your ip to target ads even when you turn off all info sent to them, so now i'm curious as to do they just determine your location once when making an account, which could be stopped with a vpn, or do they track you every login?

    I have never had these issues in either Manjaro or vanilla Arch. In fact the most problematic Arch based distro I've ever used honestly was SteamOS on my Steam Deck, however when I downgraded it to v3.4.11, my problems were fixed. Arch and Arch based distros have been more stable than any other distro for me.

    Picked out a (new) Think Pad for my sister. Review was good, price was ok. Opened it, installed Mint and the fan went crazy. Just sitting there it would noticeably turn up speed for no reason. I didn't even bother with tuning the fan curve, since the out of box experience was so annoyingly bad. Updating the kernel fixed hibernation and brightness, but in the end we sent it back and got her a tablet for half the money. Thr temperature would have allowed to tune the fans to some extent, but not nearly to the extent i would feel comfortable with. Very disappointing experience.

    Someone had to say this, thanks for saying this. Only users who regularly use these sofware will get the nuances, like calibrating sliders to not make the effects overblown, unifying tools that are similar for the user(even if their programs are different), arranging things in a manner that makes sense. It is all the little things that makes me dual boot windows just so i can have my proprietary creative software.

    Increased ads, like piracy, is a fundamental problem with the platform. Bad policies drive people away, and as people leave, the company cannot handle reduced revenue and increase ads, driving people away or looking for solutions. Get rid of ads, get rid of the ad-blocks, and maybe then we can discuss other ways tech companies get their revenue. However, this will never happen, the war never ends. Edit: Damn, you know it's bad when the FBI recommends using an ad-block

    As someone who studied communication, my biggest gripe with many open source projects is that they don’t seem to comprehend that you need to chart your work based on what the end user tells you and their experience. Many open source softwares have some of the most ugly interfaces but they work so well. There are some newer apps that tend to have better quality in design and use friendliness but they’re mostly small apps. Wish someone would constituent a team to fork gimp and work on improving the user interface
