Was the Ventoy binary blob issue resolved and it’s cool again?

That one is infuriating. Having a good client is so key to adoption… And Element is still really, really bad. Yes, it has almost all the features, but refusing multi-account is so so so annoying, and being Electron garbage is horrible. They have so much funding it’s ridiculous.

XMPP is another case where adoption has mostly failed exactly because there are no “flagship” clients that do it all.

That’s why DeltaChat looks so good. The official clients work great everywhere, and they can do it all!

No one will shed a single tear for you, greedy bastards.

Website changed, but it is still out there.

Edit: syntax

Okay, yeah, that is definitely concerning.

There are no ads on my Kindle.

After the feature of being able to send EPUB files to Kindle through email and them being automatically converted… I have not felt I was missing anything by using standard Kindle software.

So I’d suggest, unless you really really need some obscure feature, Calibre+Kindle is nowadays perfectly fine, and maybe you shouldn’t risk bricking your device.

This thingie fails miserably when trying to listen to covers, alternate versions and the like. Most times it just plays a different version. And I hate that.

I bricked a (very annoying) router trying to update its packages, so I am really looking forward for a sane package management system instead of the absolute manual mess it was before (and seems like still is).

Definitely firewall things. Do you connect your personal phone to your work’s Wi-Fi? I would really not.

KDE Connect masterrace represent!

Is there any benefit to that aside from cleanliness?

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.

In what sense is DuckDNS unreliable?

If you are a student, you should be able to organize with some of your classmates or friends.

Also, maybe consider LanguageTool instead of Grammarly, at least it’s not fully closed source.

That’s the thing, for me, it’s too much money every month for a one-time setup and maybe 15 minutes maintenance every 3 months. But if you feel it’s still worth it, go for it.

I understand. But that should make you automatically realise that you should give that old fat/broken laptop a chance to be plugged into your TV. Put a 10 $ remote mini keyboard there and no one will touch the TV interface again.

I can understand if you want to pay. But don’t say it’s hard to block ads when all you need is uBlock origin installed… And that’s it. It’s literally a 15 seconds job for the rest of the life of your browser.

I’m afraid to tell you that your e-book deDRMing is very much considered piracy. 😅
