Or… “Chrome company” could strike a deal with Google and keep an exclusive integration with Chrome, in exchange of all of users metadata. Capitalis*m.

I guess you could keep Chrome as it is running in another company… But Chrome is Google-service-clogged Chromium, still making money for Google and changing literally nothing in terms of monopolistic behavior by Google. I don’t see the benefit in this division.

Chrome or Chromium? Because it’s logically impossible to have Chrome without Google.

I don’t think it was that bad.

Think about the fact that you are watching this movie from the confort of your seat.

But go back to real life. You would have not gotten all the cues. You would have gotten in trouble. You are never ready for a situation like this. Imagine your whole body freaking out. Fight or flight. You start acting crazy. It happens.

Yes, at the end everything goes a bit too crazy. But the rest of the movie is definitely great. You can feel the tension rising, amazing performances, you suffer a lot for the kids, and the couple subplot is really touching.

Yes it’s not the best movie ever. But it’s far from terrible.

You and I, and the rest of the world… We all know a better movie can be made with the same point. It’s a messy, messy movie. A fever dream that not even distribution companies liked. A Coppola movie without funding.

I’m glad that you liked it, but I agree with the general opinion. This movie is a mess, and we will have to wait for a better movie to make people think about the future of society.

It depends. If you are into deep deep political lore in scifi-fantastic worlds, then you are going to LOVE IT.

It’s been years since I have used it. My question is: can we finally setup some default sensible BTRFS subvolumes in the “manual partitioning” mode? Or does it still only work in the “autogenerate partitions” thingie?

Yep, can confirm that too. But I slept through multiple parts of Dune part 2, so maybe it’s just me.

I would also have to acknowledge that Halo, Doom, Borderlands… Are focused on being a fun videogame, not a great story. Fallout, The Last Of Us… Already give you a pretty good story to adapt. Very cinematic, if you will.

Obviously it’s not everything and you still need a good team.

I support this idea. Moving is the perfect opportunity to classify your stuff into useful and wasteful, specially clothes, shoes, and some older electronics. Recycle and donate.

Also, if you have a phone you can turn any document into a digital one, find manuals online and trash the paper ones, etc.

It’s amazing when you suddenly feel lighter, and you didn’t know you had all that psychological weight on you.

That’s on you 😅

I may sound like an asshole, but before Linux Mint, I would seriously think to go with Debian with KDE. I don’t see any downsides, and there are many upsides.

The Franchise!! HBOmax.

Minor upgrades don’t usually come to Debian at all, unless they are fixing some critical vulnerability or something, but that is usually patched over the previous version anyway.

In what sense is DuckDNS unreliable?

I’m a cheap guy, and honestly I got the cheapest Kindle (I believe 2022) and I’ve been reading books from Calibre without issues.

No other e-reader was as cheap as that, and it… Just works.

It’s about colors. I’m not an expert, but there is something about professional color stuff that is still in the works to migrate to Wayland.

And of course for Krita it’s quite crucial that colours are right.

I felt the same. The movie didn’t speak to me, not even 2 % of all the impact that Midsommar or Get Out had on me.

But I don’t blame Hereditary itself. I have watched really really bad horror movies, forced by friends and family, and Hereditary has at least good acting… It’s probably that we simply enjoy other things.

I blame it on the fact that these paranormal horror movies tend to be relatively pointless, or their point isn’t really portrayed as well as they think it does. You can’t reflect on a deep philosophical thought if you know you are going to get jumpscared in a few seconds.

Having said all this, I must say the movie “Talk To Me” (2022) is one of the few instances of me enjoying a paranormal movie. Still has deep messages throughout the movie, IMO. Hopefully you’ll like it too.

Finding activities and hobbies that align with your values and make you groe.

Yes, mindless hobbies are also fine, but for me, participating in local FOSS communities and the like makes it a very fulfilling activity, and a way to learn more things.

Then there’s me who installs VLC and calls it a day. I mean… It does the job perfectly fine.
