I’ve tried it. Can’t really see much difference from not using it. As others have said, being a personal user you’re not much of a target - being smart about what you run on your computer has much more of an effect on security.
In the future I probably won’t bother
I have an original reMarkable (not the 2) and whilst it’s a but slow for big fancy scanned PDFs it is generally pretty good for what I want. It does also run linux so you can ssh into it and do everything locally away from their cloud services which is nice
Notch. I don’t think there is any damage. It just seems to ”let go” whilst dragging much too easily
I recently got a (second hand) M1 MacBook Pro and the trackpad is surprisingly awful Compared to the last MacBook I had (a 2012 rMBP). I find it very awkward to drag things for some reason. I wonder if I am perhaps ”doing it wrong”
This website has the worst opt-out form I have seen in a while, requiring you to go into each section and specifically disable those cookies.
Disappointing.
I used Vector Linux 3.2, which was Slackware based, mostly because it was a small(ish) download on my friend’s Cable internet connection. Shortly after I moved to real Slackware. This was probably 2003/4
In the UK we have this thing called a Post Code. And unlike some other areas of the world (looking at you, US Zip Codes) this is quite specific in that it only refers to maybe a maximum of 20 addresses (for my street it is five, and I live in a city); you can send a letter / route to somewhere usually with just a door number and post code.
So many services and apps want the first line of the address now, and then give you a list of addresses to choose from, many of which have the same street name and don’t show the post code clearly, if at all.
This is a solved problem, and it used to be fine. Why are they making it worse? 🙄
This reads like an AI response to me.
Mac OS has never used X11 as a primary display system. Apple had a version they supplied with older Mac OS X versions for people using older Unix applications (and half-arsed ports) but that’s been unsupported since 2012. You can still install the modern “XQuartz” open source equivalent, but it’s still secondary.
StopTheMadness on iOS allows redirects (and I’m sure other extensions do too) but it doesn’t actually take you to that page; it just directs back to the regular homepage.
Using the website (with an ad blocker) is marginally better than the app already. I hated the app in the past as I was convinced it was draining my battery unnecessarily…and it turns out that was a deliberate social experiment which filled me with rage.
Event listings is why I still use it, though. Friends, gigs, etc. I’ve tried to get friends to use Partiful instead at least but that doesn’t work well enough, and even that has issues.
I have a UDR and it’s pretty great. I have had one unknown failure once, which needed a physical reboot. And that’s been in two or so years.
