Maybe open source licenses are completely unenforceable now. Maybe critical software and hardware can be easily hacked into now, and we haven’t realized just how bad it is yet. Maybe everything will have more invasive DRM on it soon. Who knows. We’re about to find out in the next few months.

Oh my god, anything but DRM. It freaking sucks and only ruins experience to normal users

As some else discussed, apps where most infrastructure is on the server just for the sake to protect code might be popular. Which means even more reliance on the internet.

Absolutely stunning.

How long have you been using blender? I want to be like you!

I think this rigging was intentional so people get excited for the last match to get their revenge.
Which makes them more money.

may I know why?

Flutter is cross-platform, and its supposed to be used with dart. (flutter is a framework)

Planning to use flutter for mobile and pyqt for desktop. since I dont like depending too much on Google

I will check it out.

Yeah I know it, GDscript is similar to python. I did some lessons in it while I was trying to deduce if godot is a good choice for me or not.

I will make sure to cut in half again and one more time to make sure the scope devil doesnt come again.

I am good with python.
Perhaps I also have some experience making games, used roblox studio (~2015) before roblox was ruined and I have used gdevelop recently.

Blender is what I am learning right now. I hate how frustrating it can be.

Thanks for the recommendation, the article is interesting and gives me some hope.

Some games I play are only on windows.

I also like separating serious stuff and gaming, in this case, windows for gaming, linux for anything else.

But thanks for asking, All the best!

Thanks for the suggestion, but its a windows problem because linux (I dualboot) doesnt suffer from this.

Tried playing the same game in both Operating systems. windows HEAVILY throttled after ~15 minutes, linux smoothly throttled (the game ran in ~25 fps after the overheating in linux, while in windows it ran ~1 fps)

Linux throttles early so I usually need to lower the graphics to enjoy a more consistent 60 fps.

I always quit midgame, because in windows, whenever my laptop over heats, windows fails to smoothly throttle and the game starts running on less than 1 fps.
even the windows UI runs slow.

To fix the issue, I reset windows for the third time now, hopefully it fixes it self.

EDIT: This issue isnt software issue, because linux doesnt suffer from this

I unfortunately watched porn too, and I regret every second I wasted watching porn.
Supported sex trafficking without even knowing, and ruined my life with it.

Not proud of what I did, I am disgusted.

Ah, it makes sense, ddg browser uses builtin webview, of course it is lighter.

You can keep using DDG app protection, but you can reduce the battery usage of tracker control by going into settings and disabling “find new trackers”

This option finds and shows you the trackers each app has, disabling it will stop finding the trackers but will continue to block them.

I’m curious to see how long I can keep it out of landfill. I’m trying for 2028, as a personal challenge. That will be almost 10 years out of a $200 phone

All the best with that.

Good for you, that’s great.

But have you tried TrackerControl ? It can restrict internet from apps, and block trackers.

I heavily recommend it, since you can also monitor and block system apps .

DDG App Tracking Protection isnt as effective, but it is extremely easy to use and breakage is minimal.

As for the DDG browser, I only use it when the website I am visiting doesnt work on firefox.

For notetaking, I use butterfly, very recommended.
it has infinite canvas, various pen options to fine tune how the pen works, and settings to change what each input does. (like touch is for selection, stylus is for pen, stylus button is for erasing)

Give it a try, I am sure you will like (if you hand draw your notes), especially after the 2.4 update, the dev fixed alot of bugs.

For pdf annotations, I use samsung notes (butterfly isnt as good for that in my opinion)

I dont think this will only apply to facebook. they also own whatsapp, instagram, and messenger.

Yet, instead of fixing the moderation problem they have, they just focus on targeting adblockers, because removing pornographic ads HaRmS the EcOnOmY and the ChiLDerN!!1

They even made another entire manifest version to make adblockers perform worse, but no real changes to moderation.

IIRC the server manager hasnt been available since October.

The server crashed recently.
