Hello, can someone explain this one to me?

Recommending Arch from Windows is a hot take.

This is 17 years old.

Was it not obvious that the extension was doing that and scraping your browser data?

Check to see if your local government does this instead.

Lemmy scratches the itch that reddit filled and I'm on my phone less. I left before the blackout and I won't be back.

Wait what

I liked Ubuntu prior to snap. I've gone back to Debian and aside from a slightly complex install, I think that the distro is the epitome of stability and "just works", especially for the normal software stuff I do. It's 30 years old for a reason.

My experiences with arch are that it just broke if you looked at it funny and I like stuff that doesn't require the constant tinkering. This is the same reason I don't do smart tech and still own dumb and mechanical watches.

I feel like I'm in the minority in this community lately.

Seconding SumatraPDF, it has steered me through storms for years.

Debian, because I can just have a computer without needing to fiddle with a million things. I work in tech and don't want to mess with any more code or configurations if I'm on my own computer. It's worked for me for 5 years and has worked for others for 30 years.

Who's buying this shit anymore? The last game I got was the original MW2. None of my friends have bought CoD games in ages. Am I just in the wrong friend circles?

I agree with what is being said in the article. However, I have seen an uptick of articles older than 2 years being posted as "recent news" or "breaking news". This article is from 2015 and while it is pretty accurate, especially in these times, something from 8 years ago should be noted as such.
