Thoughts on Cloudflare Thoughts on its role and impact on the web’s landscape.

Though they do not offer the same amount of tooling CF does. Dont think anyone is able to compete in that regard. Still wouldn't use Cloudflare though: xn--gckvb8fzb.com/thoughts-on-...

Once you go Kagi you don't go back. Tried using a different search engine at work but have got too used to the good side of Kagi that I couldn't use it at work too. Though I really wish there was a way to have a seperate "work profile".

Dude what are you on about...

You know most of these distros are community based and will follow what the community wants, if not a fork will usually appear.

If you dont like Bazzite or immutables in general, sure np, but no need to go tell others to stop using it based on no valid arguments.

Why exactly would this be a recipe for disaster? There is a reason Bazzite is taking off, it works. Immutable/Atomic desktops are clearly moving forward as the next thing. OpenSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu and even RHEL10 are getting their versions of the immutable desktop.

Its good and its solid.

This seems like a very subjective take. Of course, you can use Bazzite as you first distro - its excellent as a Desktop Experience! Not everyone who switches to Linux needs to learn the in's and out's out of the operating system works. We need casual people to switch too!

I just did this on my server, very easy and simple process. Defo worth doing. But donating to help the cause is probably also something people should consider now more than ever.

Just realized 'less hassle free' is a bit contradicting haha. I meant that AMD is generally hassle free, compared to Nvidia.

If you're going to continue with Linux as your main OS moving forward I'd recommend sticking with AMD if thats already what you have :) Just a lot less hassle free.

Could have saved so many content creators a lot of money if they did warn in advance.. Can't think of any good reason not to tell people about this earlier.

Would be nice if you would address the Honey scam.

Would be nice if you guys would explain why you didn't call out Honey Extension way back when you discovered what they did!

As I said I dont personally have any experience with these, dont have a carthing. I'd recommend looking at their respective project pages as well as checking Youtube for some content on it, im sure someone has a tutorial on it.

Hopefully people are aware that its possible to resurrect this device with a couple of projects:

1. github.com/usenocturne/...
2. github.com/ItsRiprod/De...
3. github.com/BluDood/Glan...

Not tried them myself, but they're worth checking out im sure :)

Done my part by giving 1star and mentioning it to their support team as well. Their support mentioned the following in my chat:

"Our application might work on phones running MicroG, GrapheneOS or other operating systems, however, we do not officially support it or conduct any compatibility [...]"
