You can install Plex/Jellyfin on the PC and get a much better experience, watch on the phone, tablet, serve multiple clients, etc.

So your argument is unsubstantial.

The best part of the PS5 is that you can buy and sell discs at much more reasonable prices.

But my feeling is that they will soon start shipping consoles without a disk drive. Maybe PS 6 will be the last one.

800€ in Europe, that's a hard NO. Plus devs will still target the PS5 for optimising their games. This release was completely unnecessary.

The only reason why it exists is perhaps to try to normalise the higher prices for the PS 6.

Same with Witcher 3. That was an amazing game. Or Skyrim 5.

Thanks, I will do exactly that then

Yes, I was thinking about that as well and even found some guide on how this can be done. Actually I was eyeing uBlue but it should be exactly the same procedure for both.

The other option is I guess to rebase the system to something like this https://github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue?tab=readme-ov-file which already provides the Hyprland.

Are there any particular advantages and disadvantages of both methods that I should be aware of?

 

Is there any immutable distro that's based on Hyprland? I really like their approach to tiling, but at the same time I prefer to have a solid experience without worrying that the next update might break some dependencies.

Firefox Nightly because of the extensions, Libredirect, uBlock Origin, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc.

I am in tech and so far the only way to get a decent pay rise was to swap jobs. Every 3-4 years. At my last position, I got something like 3-4% pay rise, for the last 3 years, when the official inflation was more than 20%, while I am sure they have adapted their pricing accordingly.

Every time it is the same story and excuses. And it is really tiring.

The most powerful country is not even a member of the ICC, guess why. At the same time, they applauded their decision when they issued the arrest warrant for Putin.

Now they are threatening to apply sanctions on the main prosecutor and some judges in case they issue arrest warrants for Bibi & Gallant.

This is how wicked and hypocritical our world is.

Justice for thee but not for me.

He (Ben Gvir) has a long history of anti-Arab activism leading to dozens of indictments and at least eight convictions of crimes including incitement to racism, possession of propaganda for a terrorist organization (the now illegal political party Kach) and support for a terrorist organisation (also Kach).[9] As a lawyer, he is known for defending Jews accused of Jewish extremist terrorism on trial in Israel.[10]

And the saddest thing is that if she wasn't an American citizen this incident would have simply been briefly mentioned in the news without providing a name or a story.

You remember the food kitchen workers and how much noise there were around those killings. But the reality is since the conflict started at least 284 aid workers were killed and no one is talking about it: https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-war-palestinians-statistics-40000-7ebec13101f6d08fe10cedbf5e172dde.

This woman was at a protest at the West Bank and shot by IDF, what's the connection with Hamas in this case, or are you just trolling?

 

I am anxiously following the real estate market and prices are far outpacing the wage growth, making real estate really unaffordable for a lot of people, and yet there is very little political will from politicians to do anything about it.

This is especially true for desirable areas and big cities, and slowly pushing low earners to the outskirts and even outside towns. I know plenty of people who hoarded multiple properties and now they simply rent them through Airbnb or booking not to mention big corporations trying to snap even more and rent them at outrageous prices. While plenty of people cannot afford even rent in those cities.

Mind you I am not US based, but I know that this is pretty much a world phenomenon for quite a few years who got really accelerated by the COVID pandemic, but its effect will cripple future generations severely who will never be able to purchase their own roof over their head and they will forever be stuck with ever increasing rents increasing enormously the financial burden of those people.

I don't know for you but I believe this is completely unsustainable in the long term and this will become an even bigger problem in the future and I wonder why there is so little done to tackle the problem now, and what are those politicians hope, that this will magically disappear tomorrow and all will be roses?

Why aren't universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

 

I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?
