It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.

I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don't understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don't manage.

In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.

Android is complete shit show.

It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn't care about security.

If you need CUDA for certain applications in example, its better to use Nvidia.

Depends on budget. PyTorch works nicely on ROCm and, for me, bigger constraint is available VRAM than GPU speed and looks like AMD has cheaper RAM, comparing their cheapest 16GB cards AMD is 33% cheaper than Nvidia where I live, and there was some card 45% cheaper few months ago. Huge savings if on limited budget.

I never understand hate ladybird and SymphonyOS is getting in fediverse.

People are doing interesting work against all odds, everyone ever just saying "it is not possible", finding some random comments from project founder to hate.

But you know what? You and your opinion is not important. People are not doing this to make Linux competitor or Mozzila competitor but to have fun and learn something new.

I also don't want apple near it, but Andreas learned browser development on Safari and with looking for "popular enought" memory safe language it is rust vs swift and just by looking at the code becomes obvious how easier Swift is to pick up. Especially for someone comming from C++.

Haters gonna hate, I wish them luck. Failing is ok too.

Short answer: No.

If someone is being finaned by ads, they are doing something wrong. That is not sustainable nor secure, especially if one wants to reamin truthful.

Ads are used to control media, and are a bad thing. Also ads are not problem, bit random JavaScript executed on my computer is.

Put paywall (just don't push it into my search without marking it as paywall), Patreon, sell hats and t-shirts... there are better ways.

I am from cheap part of Europe. While you can get glasses for 20 Euros, with those kind of requrements 250 sounds about the same.

I guess some countries might get prescription, but I doubt "light frame and light lenses with darkening" would qualify.

Because it works and we didn't need to change anything in the last 20 years. I don't even think about it.

Whenever I try something else, problems come as soon as I want something that's not default. Which is often.

I don't even know how to install Gentoo. I did it two times, second time was when upgrading to 64bit architecture.

If it is true Audi should have been ready, if it isn't they should take some tweeter classes from Oscar.

New Pipe is not using youtube API: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/download/#download-youtube-api They are just acting as a browser, that's why they can not forbid it legally.

At least that is on creator to choose, if I am botheres by those sponsored parts I will skip that creator.

A lot of them I don't mind, or don't have sponsors except patreon.

Most annoying thing with ads is they are loud and obnoxious. I listen to some nice quiet jazz and all of a sudden someone strats screaming for me to try some ice cream. Crazy.

Than I noticed how android devices don't have mute button and wonder if this is in some contract.

It really depends on your needs. 3D printing community is very satisfied with FreeCAD, and GIMP is great for my needs when I need to find a way to increase visibility of some features in drone images and than make python script to repet it hundreds of times. No way I could do it in in PS. Making it run under wine already takes too much time.

And it is not only about money for license but about freedom.

I always see coments like this, and while I appreciate sharing of experience it is just being boring. At least add something specific and don't be a bot.

Strange is using and marketing someone else's name without written permission.

Why do you think linux distros and free software have such strange names? To avoid stepping on someone toes without expensive trademark research.
