I've recently discovered an extension called Consent-O-Matic, which automatically completes cookie forms. Also, uBlock Origin includes lists (disabled by default) that will block all sorts of annoyances, including newsletter shite.
What, by him?
RAR isn't open source.
Wow, didn't think something like that had happened. That is a valid concern. However, it could be mitigated by disabling auto update and subscribing to the GitHub releases via RSS. Then you can either manually check for malicious commits, or if the extension is more popular, wait a bit for any bad news to come out about the update. Obviously, this isn't possible for everyone and every extension, so I can understand why people would be cautious of more extensions, but I think Libredirect is a big enough extension that you would hear about it, like the case with Nano Adblocker.
Can someone please tell me why everyone hates on WebP? It's supported by basically everything, has better compression, supports both lossy and lossless compression, and supports an alpha channel. It's basically a trade-off between PNG/JPEG for compatibility and JPEG-XL for features and compression.
Are we forgetting Windows 2000?
Idk, twenty twenty-something. But Chromium with the YouTube homepage takes less RAM than GNOME Software and GNOME Shell, which either says I should move to Xfce or that Chromium has improved. Can't speak on VS Code though since I run that in a distrobox and podman is broken for me rn.
The best way to avoid scam emails is just to change your email account's password to a random string, not save it, then log out. I've also shredded my SIM card so I can't receive scam texts.
Microsoft Chief Marketing Officer Yusuf Medhi called 2024 "the year of the AI PC" in today's announcement.
What? No! It's not the "year of the AI PC," it's the year of the Linux desktop, like every year before and after! You can't just steal our year(s) from us!

I have used Fedora for nearly all the time I've daily driven Linux, and haven't encountered any problem that a newbie would encounter and couldn't overcome, excluding distro-agnostic stuff. Yeah, the h264 shit sucks, but if you use flatpaks you shouldn't have to worry about it. And if you ever have to face SELinux, then you're probably doing something that's beyond beginner level.
