Gross. Nice catch. I need to have a new account indicator.

I cannot possibly fathom how no one seems to catch on to bait and switch. At this point I’m just like “well duh” 🤷‍♂️

Came to the comments for this 💙

Kirkland shirts, man of taste 🤝

AdAway (F-Droid) will do the same but on-device (so it works everywhere), and if you’re rooted it’ll do it without the VPN by directly updating the hosts file.

I assume you’re joking lol, but just in case that’s Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter movie franchise.

Oh there are huge problems with my viewpoint - I wouldn’t even say it’s rational lol! I think that’s probably why I have trouble with the great rational arguments like yours (and many others in this thread).

I didn’t know there was a proper name for the 80/20 rule, thanks!

The reason I struggle with this rationale is that if everyone did this we’d be even more worse off. Kinda like I struggle to get around the apathy-is-the-enemy philosophy.

Oh indeed not deprecated, my bad. Wayland is default and “preferred” (how they’re deciding what to prefer I can’t imagine), and X11 is confirmed to be removed in a future release.

Plasma deprecated their X11 session in v6 pending removal in the future, and Redhat has already dropped it in Fedora & will do for EL in the next release.

A grade-A Stamets post 😆💙

Because they will forever be chasing Nvidia, bound to their development decisions & direction choices, compatibility a constant issue, swimming in some pretty murky legal waters, all to run slower than Nvidia’s cards for the same workloads. Admittedly I don’t see AMD doing much of what’s actually needed either, but alas this was never it anyway 🙁

Checks the fuck out 💯

They’re infamous for it, and it’s bitten them in the ass before.

You’re being downvoted because you’re right…but too many other channels are worse? Wow lol 😐

Anyway, check out DeArrow, it’s meant for fixing exactly this. Has some 3rd party integrations too.

Apart from fjordbasa’s caveat RE “ubiquity” above, this is probably the most succinct answer 😐

A company’s business practices are relevant regardless of which of their services you’re subscribing to.

Last I used Namecheap they still didn’t support Let’s Encrypt and were charging for DV TLS certs. Noped right back out.

I agree that what you’ve said is correct, but I don’t see how it would impede someone using the official repos. If telemetry is of major concern, there are alternative approaches (e.g. PiHole).

How does enabling third-party repo use prevent one from using the F-Droid repo?

I’d say continued improvement of third-party support suggests the main repo could be losing its value to users. There are apps in there over a decade old without even an anti-feature warning.
