Since OpenNIC resolvers are user-run, doesn’t that mean a bad actor could theoretically pop up at any time and log any request that goes through them?

Gallery-dl is another option.
If you’re referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.
As for the proton, I’ll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.
Edit: I’m using Lutris, and Wine-GE is the non-steam equivalent of Proton-GE, so… whomp whomp I guess
Generally good, but fairly troublesome. I dualboot Pop_OS!, and the install was a nightmare. The live USB wouldn’t boot until I unplugged every USB device. Once it started, I could plug them back in. Then, when actually installing, the info about the various partitions I would need was apparently pretty out of date (recommend partition sizes were way off).
Once installed, though, it’s been really nice, albeit a fair bit more complicated. The only real issue I’ve had so far is that, in Unity games run through wine, video streamed in-game won’t play.
If you dont pay a cent you have like nothing to complain
Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.
Tried Ubuntu a few years back. Snap was a big part of why I dropped it. Started using Pop_OS last year, and while it’s still not my main driver (mostly because of gaming issues), I split my time between it and windows pretty evenly.
I recommend you learn how to make an argument that actually suits the context before commenting on the media literacy of others.
🤡
The problem is, that doesn’t make sense for digital media. A large part of resales is media degradation. You pay less, but you take a risk upon yourself for it. Being able to refund a game that isn’t for you seems fair, though.
Plays include tone from the actors. Similarly, books include tone from context. One sentence does not.
Yeah, maybe. My experience has been a multitude of hangs and flash drive rewrites. At first, I thought my flash drive might be bad, so I tried another and quickly determined that the other one was actually bad before going back to the first. Eventually, I ended up just unplugging everything out of desperation and for some reason that worked.
I’m actually still working on this as I type this, currently waiting on partition changes because, while I read that 500MiB is recommended for Pop’s boot partition, the installer has told me that it’s too small…
Since I’m still dealing with this, and given the issues I had booting the live disk, there’s a good chance this won’t even be useable in the end. I’ve used Ubuntu before, and it boots fine, but fuck if I want to deal with snap.
Edit: Went up to 750MB (yeah, MB not MiB here, easier to think about later). Still says it’s too small. Sure wish I had some detailed documentation to work with here, instead of just “use Clean Install” in the official docs and a single Reddit comment saying “500MiB is good.” That would the bee’s damned knees.
Edit 2: Works fine once installed. The live disk just would not boot with anything else plugged in for some reason.
Recommending Pop_OS! to newbies
That might just be the quickest way to make someone hate Linux forever. The glitchiest, most troublesome install I’ve ever tried to do. In the end, after two days of work just to get the damn live image to boot, the only reason I kept going was probably sunken cost falacy.
It strikes me that this attitude might carry more weight if it came from a company with a better library… I mean, they have a handful of good games, most of which are quite old, and otherwise, mostly act like a cheap sequel machine.
Arguably a positive in cases like this.
Hrm… Ya know, you’d think the extensions would move off of GitHub after everything…
They admitted they were slowing users with ad blockers, but many Firefox users reported experiencing the slowdown regardless of whether they used an ad blocker.
The article I linked, however, says that they couldn’t get the delay to happen at all, so it’s entirely possible it was just so poorly implemented that it was affecting people almost at random.
Except that they’ve already displayed that they won’t. Recently, Firefox users were targeted with an artificial delay on YouTube. When caught, they claimed it was about ad blockers… Except it didn’t affect chrome users with adblock and affected Firefox users without adblock.
And this has happened multiple times over the years, where little headaches and inconveniences would crop up on Google services, all of which could be fixed by changing your user agent so the site thinks you’re running chrome.

Could you maybe make a paste with the channels you’ve chosen?
You’re not a shill for “genuinely liking a product” or “correcting disinformation” (which, btw, are both obvious b.s.), you’re a shill for denying any lying about genuine issues.
You’re a shill for your staunch refusal to accept that there’s a difference between “using a browser” and “receiving advertisements that pop up over your content or in your notification bar.”
You’re a shill for responding to mention of the half-truths they (and people like you) propagate with the dismissive “Wait you actually clicked the ads?”
You’re a shill because you willingly admit that you don’t care about the shady shit they do, and you clearly don’t want other people to care.
You’re a shill for implying that anyone who would point out the shady shit they do is simply dumber or less informed than you.
I can’t speak to the specifics of it, but Bedrock and Java editions are functionally entirely different games. They’re designed to function nearly the same, but under the hood, the only real similarities are in the graphical assets. Past the user interaction, they’re not really comparable at all.
