Had my boss trying to grab a pdf (crosswords, colouring pages, printed for kids in a pub) while using Chrome without any adblock extensions.

The volume of ads, trick links, and shite on that one website in particular was outstanding. She asked me if a link was OK to click. Promptly pointed out she should use Firefox (which has unlock and other extensions added) instead of chrome as the link she had clicked was for some sketchy software and not a crossword.

I can't imagine the internet without ad blockers. Ublock is a great addition, removing elements from pages is a huge advantage. So many sites sling rubbish wherever they can.

Discord is trash, had issues with a KBDFans product, something as simple as a search of a forum would have given me the solution. I had to talk to a human to get the required information. They sent me a link to a firmware to download and all was good.

If I was able to search a forum it would have been a 2 minute job, but I wasted someone else's time, on the other side of the globe.

Firefox is fine on mobile in my eyes.

At least the Android version, even on my 5 year old Exynos phone it does what I need / want from a browser. Allows (some) extensions, lets me zoom wherever I want to on any page, has a reader mode and is snappy enough on old hardware.

Chrome tries to be / do far too much for me, just fuck off and let me browse the web. I do like the dynamic colours that Chrome on mobile uses on different webpages, is hot.

However Chrome gives me dirty Microsoft vibes, and it's pretty hard to shake that stank.

If your on iOS welcome to the walled garden. Hope you live in the EU.

I've used PayPal in 4 a couple of times.

Budgeting pretty hard, sometimes it's easier to spread the load out over 4 weeks for something that would eat my whole weekly personal spendings in one swoop.

My takeaway from that article is they don't, and haven't.

The splash screen for installing a package not from the play store is there to protect the end user. Without it there would probably be a much worse unwanted software issue on android.

I've been "side loading" or just "installing" applications on my android devices since the nexus one, without the help of the play store.

Minimum for me would be 120hz, i've been using 120hz since 2012 (12 years... man) and anything less feels like a massive step backwards. My old S10+ and my cheapie laptop feel sluggish in any animated / transmission scenario.

The defaults for hyprland are pretty good in my eyes, I've made some tweaks to the colour scheme, animations and even animated window borders but really its what you make of it.

Love using Hyprland, its minimal (which is a plus for me), no real issues outside of a sleep bug with my laptop when running hybrid graphics mode (amd igpu + nvidia gpu)

I like minimal

If you are not building your hyprland config from nix (as I am currently via symlinks) you can save the config file, and it will already be active allowing you to quickly test / amend / break all the things. For my config I need to rebuild the system, logout and login to see changes. Since I've been using Hyprland for a while now I've not needed to make many changes to the config so that works better for me.

I jumped from KDE to Hyprland, without having used a tiling window manager before, so adding all the necessary applications for things like brightness control, audio control was all quite a bit to take in from a full-fledged desktop environment.

Plenty of nix'd config, nix-colors theming for most applications. I've only been using linux for around 6 months, NixOS has really clicked with me.

My config might be sub-optimal in areas, but its gone through some heavy changes since its inception.

Sounds like bait but I'll bite.

Most singleplayer titles work perfectly fine under Linux. Majority of my steam library runs with compatibility toggled in steam.

I've got a Switch Pro controller, no issues via Bluetooth or Cable connection. Gives me battery readouts via Dunst

Running Wayland with an NVIDIA GPU in both my systems.

My pixel had issues with the screen (p7p) contacted google, within a couple of days I had an advance replacement device in my hands and a return label for the faulty device.

My watch is giving me issues currently so I'm planning on hitting up support about that too, as it's not within what I expected from the watch (won't connect via bt after a month or so, requiring a factory reset).

In AUS we have great consumer protections, if my watch continues on the way it is currently I'll be returning it for a full refund.
