I looked into it and tried it myself just today. For the most part it’s fine but you’ll have to be prepared to do some tinkering here and there. Most of the games I wanted to play are listed on proton as works but with some issues.

I set up popOS yesterday and tried to install satisfactory today via steam but it wouldn’t let me and when I filtered my games lost for Linux it shrank down to a very small list. Iirc it was listed on proton as gold or even platinum so there must be a way to get satisfactory to run but I honestly couldn’t be asked today so I set up dual boot and went back to windows for now.

I think that’s the way to got for a newbie. Set up dual boot and whenever you have the time & patience to try to get something to work on Linux go for it but when you just want to relax and play some games (or multiplayer) boot up windows.

I think Linux for everyday use is just fine even though popOS could use some UX designers.

Even just going off the article you posted “helped” is a strong word in regards to distributing malware through their framework. It appears that their framework had simply been hijacked by hackers to distribute malware and they had no involvement in that.

I’m not saying they’re trustworthy but the situation isn’t nearly as bad as this biased summary suggests.

The same website has rated express VPN as one of the most trustworthy vpns in their most recent review. Based on the high amount of independent audits the company is performing.

Definitely do more research. I’m going to look into it myself but I’m paying until June anyways and I don’t think an immediate switch is necessary.

Again? Hasn’t changed for me since they started doing that in November. YouTube is quite annoying to use for me these days, the site takes forever to load and only starts loading when I switch to the tab. Best thing to do is adding everything to a queue, videos load normally then for some reason. As a result I’m using YouTube less though, so not necessarily a bad thing.

There is still a difference between basically nothing and literally nothing. Spotify is better than pirating and CDs/vinyl/digital directly from them is better than Spotify.

You’re not hurting the companies, you’re hurting the artists. I’m not saying don’t pirate at all, especially from artists like Taylor swift. But maybe if you’re listening to a small artist, especially if they’re independent, consider buying their cd.

It’s a free account, what’d be stopping you from just creating a new one?

I read this morning that return dislike no longer works, apparently YouTube changed something in the backend. Might want to verify that and potentially remove it from the list for now

Yeah, for me it always helped to think about what I was actually doing with my phone and I quickly realized that I really have not mich use for the most expensive phones. A camera like I’d get on the new iPhone for example would be nice but that alone isn’t worth paying almost 1k more. And aside from camera I don’t think there’s much difference for the average user when you compare a high end and a low to mid-range phone.

Bringing a spare is a good point. Less of a hassle than a power bank (although still not ideal). Battery life is pretty much the only thing I care about aside from longevity. Fairphone has longevity covered, maybe the review I read just made the battery life seem mich worse than it actually is. I’ll have to look into it some more, thanks

I need a new phone soon, can’t really wait until the EU regulations force companies to build them with removable batteries. I need to look more into Fairphone, hope that’s decent. Last review I read made me concerned about battery life, I really don’t like charging my phone every day either. Or having to carry a power bank with me.

I don’t think there’s anything on the market that comes even close to the modularity aria had promised. Moto z had some mods but they dropped that very quickly unfortunately.

I just want to change my battery and get a phone for that no people had to die In some poor country.

Like seriously, what’s the percentage of people that run machine learning algorithms on their phone? 0.0000000001%?

Building and maintaining one isn’t really the concern I have with this one, nuclear reactors are incredibly safe these days. What are they going to do with the nuclear waste? That’s the real issue here. Governments can barely figure that out, how’s a megacorp going to do that in an ethical way? I already see them dumping it in a cave in some poor country in africa.

Is it coated with anything? If it’s just bare metal then scrub it with steel wool and some water, any burns & stains should come off without much effort.

If it’s coated then I’d try to soak it in soapy water over night and then gently scrub. Keep in mind that anything you put on there you’re probably going to eat with your next few meals so before you use any aggressive chemicals just buy a new tray.

What do you need an announcement for? They’ll have informed the affected subscribers by mail, as they always do, and adjusted the prices on the sign-up page. Who else needs to be informed? I don’t really give a shot about the pricing of a service I don’t use.
