Didn’t Apple introduce something very similar to this in Safari? Think it’s called “App Attest” or smth

Very overrated imho

OK then give me all your passwords

tbh I don’t really see the point of buying something by Microsoft just to install Linux

if it was possible, it’d be like buying an iPhone to install Android. You must’ve had a very good reason I guess.

P.S. Just checked what the form factor of a Surface Pro 6 is, and I think you’re right when you say there are not many alternatives. Also, it’s a pretty old device so it does make somewhat sense to me. Not that it matters, you can install whatever you want on your stuff lol

This is a two years old post… right? My instance says 2y

Neat extension for anyone who still uses YouTube (not me)
I would love to see how it fares with videos by that walking teratoma called “Mr. Beast”

Expert in what? Witnessing things and recounting them?

I love how much they want to shove ads down our throats, and I’m using Revanced like 😐

Yeah. I wanted to build a custom theme from source, and installed all the dependencies. Tried the theme, realized it had the usual issues just like every other theme, uninstalled it. Then I uninstalled everything I needed to build it, as the terminal history was still there and I could tell exactly what was installed. Guess what? apt would’ve nuked my desktop environment if I didn’t stop it, almost as if what I had installed was a required dependency. Pretty sure it was optional though, since everything was more or less working before installing

–Edit
Forgot to mention the custom theme was for qt5ct, not for the desktop environment

For me it’s mostly been visual stuff.
There are native packages, Appimages, Flatpaks, Snaps. Native packages are GTK or Qt-based, so you could potentially have five different visual styles at the same time. Everything can be fixed, except for Appimages, but it requires some degree of tinkering which isn’t always guaranteed to work. For instance, I was looking for a feed reader and tried Fluent Reader: it is an Appimage based on Fluent Design, so it looks completely out of place if you don’t customize your desktop to make it look like Windows. Then I tried Akgregator: I picked the Flatpak version, and it was a complete mess even when using Flatseal (some backgrounds black, others white). Also, without proper configuration, the cursor theme may change according to the aforementioned app categories.
One last thing you may not like are icons. Most distributions come with some custom icon theme, which of course cannot reasonably apply to all applications out there: those that are not supported need to provide their own icon, which could look very bad depending on the desktop environment. For example, on Cinnamon they were very jagged, like their resolution was too high. This probably also depends on the application.
Another thing I usually notice is how slow the mouse wheel works in some apps, like Appimages for instance. And in general there’s no way to change the amount of lines scrolled per wheel click at OS level, while apps rarely give you the option to customize it. Firefox does though, and for me this mean I had to run Bitwarden, Telegram, WhatsApp, a feed reader all inside Firefox. Thanks but no thanks.
I’d say no particular changes are necessary to use Linux full time, you should just turn a blind eye to this stuff.
P.S. Also, everything looks way too large w.r.t. Windows. I tried Thunderbird on both systems, and for some reason the delete icon is 50% bigger on Linux (using the same density option)

is blue/green bubbles code for something? I really don’t know what I’m reading here

After every meal, which could even be four times a day. Floss (or oral irrigator) and mouthwash before going to bed

You had me at “Jon Hamm”

What about this? https://www.jiraphan.com/blog/Force-download-SharePoint-video-steaming
Windows isn’t strictly needed ofc

Unfortunately that’s not how it usually works with major companies, and I learned it thanks to some post on Lemmy.
Look for “EEE”, or “embrace extend extinguish”
Alternatively you can read the following comment in this very post: https://lemm.ee/comment/776049

Someone should point them to what happened over at r/assholedesign
I would, but I don’t know how to do that without breaking the first rule

user_pref("browser.startup.page", 1) and user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:home") to replace the startup blank page with home.
user_pref("browser.newtabpage.enabled", true) to replace the new tab page with home.

user_pref("keyword.enabled", true)
user_pref("browser.search.suggest.enabled", true)
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.searches", true)
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.nonsponsored", true)

to enable search suggestions (I’m using Brave Search).
user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", false), but I don’t remember why exactly. The biggest inconvience of setting this to true is websites preferring light theme, but there was also something else… not sure what tho
user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing", false) to avoid web pages being smaller than the actual window size.

Hard to give a list of episodes without rewatching the whole series.
So I’ll go with the one I can’t get out of my head: The Sting, 5x09

it always amazed me how much they’ve managed to fit in 24 minutes
