Got the prompt earlier this week. Haven’t seen any noticeable increase in its DNS requests, but it’s not impossible that the hostnames it’s reaching out to just aren’t in my MANY block lists.
271 blocks today and all the same old- analytics.plex.tv.

Good to know. When I get this prompt at home I’ll be watching my Pihole server quite closely for a while to see for sure.

I don’t disagree at all, but morally and legally speaking if “no” means “no”, I don’t actually see anything wrong with the prompt or the idea itself. If no means “later” or “limit this data”, or even “anonymize this data”, it’s time to revolt.

I agree Jellyfin’s pretty rad and DOES prove what can be done for free, I’ve used both and Plex is a much more “set and forget” and I personally have had more issues with streams breaking/stopping for no reason with Jellyfin- are those probably my fault? Yep, probably borked a setting or misconfigured it- just saying that’s my personal experience.

I’m just one idiot making noises with my meat flaps. I’m no authority.

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it. If we find out “I do not consent” leads to a “Close our account” page, it’s time for pitchforks, especially since they recently had a huge sale on lifetime memberships.

Ooh! Do Teams next

“Hey Copilot- download the most recent ISO of KDE Neon.”

They’re attempting to make excuses for their inability to create functional software

Best part of the joke is EXT4 partitions (and BTRFS, ZFS, etc too?) are invisible to Windows, so it’s just “flailing its gun” at the wind the whole time.

As an owner of an old pine phone, I can confidently say avoid for now. Not remotely ready or reliable enough.

Firefox/Mozilla operated without any of the new additions for nearly the entire history of the internet until this year. If anything, “over”-reacting to the new policies was too weak a reaction. You do you and all, but I’ll agree to very strongly disagree.

Mine is E2EE.

That article says it better than I can in s short post. Firefox’s terms of use/privacy policy went over like a lead balloon last month.

I think it’s incredibly important that people know, with absolute certainty, whether or not the new Mozilla/Firefox privacy policy in any way applies to / covers such a service.

I’m not saying I know the answer- What I’m saying without a concrete, permanently applied answer it’s not even considerable.

Been there. Accepted

To answer your questions though, I suggest the non-Cosmic version of Pop!OS. (and switch to wayland if it’s not the default yet- not sure, I’ve had this install for YEARS) It’s a good blend of “just works” and “up to date enough” to run anything, and I recommend steering well clear of Arch. I’ve been using Linux for a decade and I’ve always found a way to whoopsie it into a broken state. That’s a “me problem” yes, but if I can fudge it up that easily and I have experience using it, I think it’s unsuitable to recommend to anyone.

Most people live in a web browser- does it really matter if the desktop environment isn’t riced enough or isn’t windows-ey enough? That said, it takes actual hackery to make any version of Windows usable these days, so I’ll forgive a distro not being “absolutely elite” for someone’s preferences. Let’s not compare Linux forums to Windows forums, where no-one has ever, I repeat ever received ANY useful advice besides reinstalling their Windows, am I right?

I typed 6 words. Are you alright

Uh

Who’s ready to talk Linux

I love it, may as well try it out- see if you also love it

Frame #2 looks like top- everyone here should try btop!

They’ve gone out of their way to avoid showing the hatch opened. From the pictures they DO have there, it appears the hatch opening area is borderline useless. My question is WHY?
