i can’t wait. since last week I’ve been having the strangest issues and I already tried everything I can think of. last hope is an update will fix it.

this warrants a new monitor for me, been holding out over a year with my old display, waiting for something and now I know what that was

Hey I have The Wager in my list, but right now I’m reading The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber, it’s excellent. Going really slow because it contains so much information, I read a few pages and that sends me in a research spiral for an hour and a thoughts spirals for the day.

oh yes. I’m ready

I’m gonna switch to tumbleweed just for this, wanna have it as soon as stably possible

Amazing how every single part of your comment is so wrong.

It’s actually a really good analogy,

Not an analogy, an example. Those two are different things.

because it can only run on

No, it can run on many things, including open source collaborative hardware that exists.

fully-capitalist hardware.

What the hell even is that? Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary. And now that a lot of effort is being made to get that production out of there, those efforts are being sponsored by public money to an incredible degree. Billions of dollars of taxes (you know, community resources) are being poured into that because big corporations are the biggest lovers of government handouts.

Been using it for a couple of years now I think. Haven’t seen a reason not to like it.

There’s a thread in GitHub where the privacyguides.org guys discussed some flaws in the encryption but that was at the very beginning, I remember reading those have been solved apparently.

Pricing, well, it seems cheap but honestly I think it’s just because we are used to seeing outrageous prices for ridiculously small amounts of storage. Thinking about it, 30 eur for 100gb is not cheap at all, like some other comment says when compared to physical drive prices. Plus, offering lifetime is a common marketing technique to attract customers used by small or starting businesses. I don’t know if that is the case here but it certainly isn’t an automatic red flag for me. I don’t know if they are gonna be around next year or 5 years from now, but I’m willing to take the risk. They claim to have lots of users and be cash flow sustainable, plus they keep developing and are getting into business features to attract that kind of customers, certainly doesn’t look like a business on life support to me.

App and code-wise, they are much better than they were a year ago. Android app is still a bit janky sometimes but I don’t use it a lot so I got not much to say, other than I can see my files and upload something small once in a while just fine. The desktop client is amazing, the best functioning client for Linux that I have used from any service, or from the few services that have a Linux client at least. The clients are open source and since the service is e2ee you don’t really need to see the server code if the client encryption is done correctly, which apparently there is no sign that it isn’t, as mentioned before.

Overall I would say you can use it, but keep a backup somewhere else just in case, which is just the thing that anyone should be doing anyways.

of course not how would I laugh at all the people seething otherwise

Thanks for the useless assumption, but I already figured out that when seeing in mobile the bullet points loaded text from a previous version of the article when it was ‘250’. It can be seen in the archive.

Why does the headline says ‘600 killed’ and the last bullet point bellow says ‘250 killed’?

Remember Jack the Dripper?

In other news, the hateful and gullible elder demographic blames Biden because they are millions short of covering their living expenses.

in china it is forbidden to have 64gb of RAM

if he knows what sportswashing is then he knows he’s a piece of shit

good I guess

1. How is this allowed?

2. Since it’s allowed, why aren’t Dems taking advantage of the old switcheroo and packing every race with temporary conservatives only for switching back once elected? That would be the funniest thing.

I mean if democracy is a joke may as well get some good out of playing it.

Thanks, you give me something to check out with that thing about the changes to the plot.

In general GNOME is frustratingly good. I do find myself wanting more options for customisation every once in a while, and jump to another option. But after a week I remember that no other option Is as smooth and polished and end up right back with GNOME.

Just finished Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel.

It’s good, but I found it to be unmoving. I can see that whatever is written is well written but it didn’t made me feel anything. I didn’t find it funny, emotional, surprising, annoying. At no point I was tempted to stop reading it nor I was anxious to continue. For me it’s a really solid 7/10. Maybe I’m in the minority on that and maybe it’s because it’s not the kind of book that I would usually read.

On what’s next I have been wanting to read the Three Body Problem but I’m curious about the translation. I’ve read books in english that were originally written in my native spanish and there’s definitely a certain feel to them. It will be the first book originally in Chinese that I read, so I wonder about the translation, and if it would be better to get an English translation or a Spanish translation.

I certainly hope so, it being one of the things that would actually improve the viability of Linux as a viable platform for gaming big time.

But seeing how we are just gonna see freesync support with kernel 6.5, I think definitely will take a long time.

that’s exactly the amount of peanut butter I eat per month but it’s the smooth kind. I was about to say ‘how could you do that’ but never really tried the chunky style so I guess I’ll hold on to the judgment lmao
