Yes but the browser engine isn’t really the main selling point. Kagi is building with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It’s privacy respecting, fast, and extensible.

Webkit! It’s currently only available on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS.

It’s kinda absurd if you think about it. We’re here arguing about Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time while people are literally dying every year due to losing sleep every spring. I wish more states would just bypass Congress and revert back to Standard Time.

Unfortunately, Wayland works terribly on my Nvidia MX150 GPU. It’s an Optimus based GPU, so both the iGPU and the Nvidia GPU are running all the time. I’ve had my Nvidia GPU disabled for better battery life for a while now.

Exactly. Not everything needs to be a goddamn SPA!

Svelte is for if you hate React and like vanilla JavaScript. Solid or Next is if you like React.

Got it. Get a MacBook and install Asahi Linux on it. 😅

Eh, it’s opt-in so if even if you don’t do anything, nothing changes.

It’s perfectly fine to ask users if they’re okay with telemetry. I’m fine with that. The problem comes when it’s opt-out or if there’s no way to opt-out.

Lots of Fedora haters here, but I agree. Fedora is the best distro ever, especially if you like stock GNOME.

Fedora is a fine distro. Red Hat is still a huge contributor to the open source community, despite the decisions made by IBM managers to restrict RHEL source code. It just means that it’ll be a little more difficult to make RHEL clones going forward, but I doubt it’ll have any lasting impact. Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and other RHEL based distros have all announced that they intend to continue their operations, with little to no change in how they do things. Really, the controversy is overblown.

IIRC you can download Wireguard configs and just use it as a regular wireguard VPN. However, this limits you to the server that you picked unless you want to generate another config for a different server.

When it comes to communicating well in English, it’s easy to get stuck between words that seem very similar. For example: poll vs vote, citizen vs civilian, politician vs representative. When you don’t know the difference between words, try to find what makes them different from each other.

For example: a poll can be an opinion poll, but a vote is only for an election. So all votes are a kind of poll, but not all polls are specifically votes.

Another example: a politician politically represents the will of their constituents. A representative may represent any company, organization, or government. So representatives generally represent groups of people, but politicians specifically represent their constituents in government.

Another example: what’s the difference between plausible and reasonable? Something reasonable means it’s logical or can be reached through reasoning. Something plausible is a story that makes sense, a good enough story that could actually happen. So something reasonable needs to have a relatively consistent logical thread to it, whole something plausible needs to make enough sense as to be possibly true.

When you are asking if something is plausible, you are asking if the story is true or if the reasons given make enough sense to make the story true. When you are asking if something is reasonable, you are asking if using your reasoning ability, you would come to the same conclusions.

Personally wouldn’t recommend Fedora as a newbie distro because most guides assume Debian/Ubuntu-based package managers. When I first switched from Pop!_OS, I couldn’t understand why my apt-get commands weren’t working. Of course, that was until I learned about other package managers like DNF, Yum, etc. Also, Nvidia proprietary drivers and media codecs can be a pain.

Pop!_OS, Ubuntu and Mint are all great recommendations though!

+1 for Fedora. Red Hat’s new policy to restrict open source code though, IDK.
