Man. The guy can grow peanuts, build thousands of houses, kick cancer's ass, and is brilliantly insightful.

No wonder he lost reelection. He's competent. I'm kinda shocked he won in the first place. We didn't deserve him, and we still don't.

In the doctor scenario, we've had adult diapers for a long time. Your solution is you let them pee in your car?

And your solution is they shit themselves on public transportation?

I mean, I'm 100% for better public transportation and urban centers designed around walking, but let's compare apples to apples here.

They didn't make a straw man argument, they had a point. It's a genuine issue and they deserve better than a flippant remark telling them to make grandpa wear diapers so he can piss himself on his walk from the bus stop.

Actually, this problem is why I stopped using Jerboa. It's really weird. Of course, like an asshole, I never bothered to ask about it ornfile a bug report, because I'm a bad person.

I use Eternity now, and I like it a lot.

Huh. Now that you mention it, all the linux-focused manufacturers seem to be using Nvidia for dedicated graphics. That is so weird.

It looks nice, the specs are great, and I want one, but seriously... Nvidia? Why?

To be fair, Fedora has opt-in telemetry. It's 100% anonymized, though, and helps with development. I always say yes when I'm running a beta (like now).

That having been said, you should always check the privacy policies of any given distro. They tend to all be pretty up front about it (kinda hard to lie about it when anyone can check your source code...).

AFAIK, though, neither Mint nor Elementary collect telemetry by default, although they might have opt-in like Fedora. Both are based on Ubuntu LTS, but they also both scrape out so much stuff that they're devoid of most of the Canonical junk.

TL;DR: Don't lay this one on me, buddy. You walked in here looking for a fight.

I didn't much care for the direction you started in. If you wanted an actual discussion, then opening with hostility and claims that could be refuted if you'd bothered with less than a minute of research is the wrong way to go.

If you want a civilized discussion, you have to start with a civilized post. My responses have been no more hostile than your opening salvo.

As it happens, Google's influence over Mozilla is of massive concern to me. And I agree that the change was not needed. But it's not obscure, it's not hard to find out how to do what you wanted to do, and your hostility to responses suggesting DuckDuckGo only confirmed my suspicion that you didn't want an answer, you wanted a fight.

So I gave you one.

Here's the deal. If you walk into a place with guns blazing, you don't get to act all surprised and indignant when someone fires back.

Rclone does AFAIK. It's just not set up in this app yet.

Dear god, don't use free VPNs. If they're not charging you,.they're making money somehow, generally by selling your personal data.

This is neat! Now we just need One Drive and Mega on there...

Aren't Flatpaks containerized? Am I misunderstanding what containerized means, how Flatpaks work, or both?

Maybe. But even if that was the case, the way it is now isn't obfuscated. It's not difficult. It's not hard to find out how to do it. You made a big long post to complain about an "obfuscated" feature that I found in under a minute.

Next time, either do a search or ask for help, instead of whinging like a n00b. Or worse, some kind of Google FUD-spreading parasite.

FFS, Jesus Wept. I finally understand those blokes over at FreeBSD telling me to RTFM twenty years ago.

Edit: Apparently, the synonym for complain I used before was offensive. It was not the "B" word, which I only use in reference to female dogs. Just wanted that to be clear.

At the risk of bringing a lot of hate my way… …

The irony...

What are you talking about?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox#w_add-a-search-engine-from-the-address-bar

That took me like two second to find. You can also use addons, like this one for Qwant:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/qwantcom-for-firefox/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

Which I like. But none of this is hard or "obfuscated", and it's literally identical to changing or adding a new search engine on Waterfox.

I have a lot of issues with Mozilla, not least of which is their reliance on Google for income. It's like hiring a dingo as a babysitter. But c'mon, man.

The first thing I check for is if a game is Terraria. If it isn't, I play Terraria instead.

All kidding aside, I tend to enjoy games that involve exploration, character development, and pleasent visuals. Good sound design is also a must, and I prefer games to be at least somewhat action oriented.

None of these things are hard and fast rules for me, of course. I like a lot of different games.

I'm not 100% on Throwaway's side here, but I don't think that's what they meant.

Good.

Awesome! Like I said, it ain't for me, but u I can appreciate it for what it is!

Not gonna lie, it looks cool as hell. But if I get a handheld it'll be a Steamdeck. I might be more tempted if it was Linux based, though.

I personally can't stand those neon icon themes, but this looks like a lot of care and work went into it! It's always fun to see stuff that makes fellow Gnomies happy.
