I buy a lottery ticket once a month just for the fun of some cheap fantasies/dreams. A few years ago I won $2000. I wouldn't mind a repeat.

Yeah, Pocket does nothing unless you press the button.
And as for telemetry that's publicly available on telemetry.mozilla.org if anyone wants to see what's being sent. It's very useful for Mozilla to see what and how features are used.
Mozilla is our last tiny hope for freedom really, in this Chrome/Blink world..
What matters is whether the majority of the market cares. Some of the most popular phones today don't have the Headphone Jack or SD card. I doubt the Fairphone business is going to live or die by the headphone jack, it will be things live price and consumer interest in their mission, which I think is probably low, sadly.
I cancelled cable TV ($100) , Netflix (which in Canada is $16+tax without ads) and Prime (it's too easy to buy stuff there as well, I'm trying to support more local stores), downgraded my Internet to 150Mbps because I calculated my usage and discovered I was paying for speeds I very rarely really needed, MMORPG gaming is less than 1Mbps, streaming HD <10Mbps, streaming 4K <30Mbps (though I don't do that), instead I only pay for Mullvad and cheaper Internet. I save a lot every month from that perspective.
In addition I occasionally need Mullvad for other things than bittorrent, like to access websites in other countries/etc. It can be handy to have a VPN sometimes.
Yeah, I recently moved from Authy to 2FAS, took about an hour moving everything over. It can do cloud backup and export/import files manually as well.
As a laptop user I love the idea that some of the titlebar space being utilized. I don't use GNOME though. I hope there will continue to be good UXs for both of us.
Love that game so much, I waited for it for 20 years and it exceeds my dreams!
Funny enough the DirectX version is stable on Proton but there are still a few crashes in Vulkan mode.
Yes, I have logged more than 14000 hours in GuildWars2, mostly in WvW maps and since it started playing well on Proton I never touched Windows anymore.
(I have no life).
Alas that would be a luxury for me. I got an Asus Strix Scar 17 2022 with NVidia 3060. I game with it, use Wayland, everything is fine.
Except suspending/hibernating. When it wakes up the Plasma panel is pink, desktop is missing and the mouse is drawing trails. I have the NVidia suspend/hibernate scripts enabled, have a swap partition bigger than RAM, but everything still looks weird on wakeup. So I shut it down in the evening and boot it fully in the morning, no biggie I guess...
I only look at subscribed in Lemmy and followed in Masto. I never liked "All" or "Trending" type stuff anywhere.
The unique problems for me with dogs is not just that they're evolved to interact better with us, it's that in many places where they eat them it's believed that it tastes better if it was terrified and in pain when killed. So you can imagine how they're treated when getting prepared to slaughter. No easy life or death for food dogs.
Then there's several places in Peru where it's believed cats taste better if drowned.
Not that we treat our livestock great in the west but some cultures take it to a horrifying level due to tradition.
I have an alias I call "upd" that runs "yay ; flatpak update", I just run that, press Y at the first prompts and then let it run in the background while I do other work. It really doesn't matter at all how long it takes. I do have NVidia but generally I don't feel it takes very long as we don't get new kernels every day. You could use the linux-lts kernel for much more rare kernel updates.
It's a bit like bittorrents, I don't need them to download in 30sec, I start it and return to check on it whenever I think of it.
I have changed my opinion on flatpak btw, I really like that the apps are not spread all over my system but instead sandboxed neatly, have fewer dependency versioning issues and it's really easy to use.
