I’d like a less painful way to update, but I’m also probably ready to backup and reinstall at this point.

During the 36/37 update my bluetooth stopped working, despite everything saying it’s working. I’ve lived with that for a while but it’s slowly starting to irk me.


I have a dual boot partition, but honestly the games that don’t run are so few and far between that I really don’t bother…

It’s like if you bought a Playstation, how do you play Xbox games? Unless it’s really worth it, you just don’t.


Embrace. Extend. Extinguish. Hold fast against the barbarians at the gates.


If people want to use Brave, or Windows, or install screen doors on their submarines who am I to complain?

The fact is for a lot of people, Brave offers a superior out of box experience compared to firefox or almost any other browser. In terms of ad blocking, speed and ease of use, it’s pretty much second to none. The fact that you install it and go is really appealing and how easy they make the slider to adjust the aggressiveness of the script blocking is great ui that my dad mother could use.

Yes, the company isn’t very good, it’s headed by a guy with a questionable history and has a poor track record when it comes to monetization strategy. I stopped using Brave this year, but for ages it was my goto because I could just install it and have an improved web experience.


It actually happened to me many moons ago. The Canadian ISP in question sent me an email saying that torrenting was “of disputed legality”(or something) and that someone in my house had torrented Ubuntu! I wish I still had the email but this was mid/late 2000’s.


I use KeePass and keep it synced with self hosting Nextcloud. I get the appeal of bitwarden, but I’m really trying to get off other people’s computers.
