Yeah I regrettably* bought a year’s subscription to Peacock and was also pleasantly surprised that my PiHole just blocked all the ads.

*This was when they were offering a year for 20 USD. They had advertised world cup streaming but neglected to mention that all the commentary was in Spanish with no English option. I ended up just streaming a Swiss TV channel because it was at least in a language I can understand.

Pivpn was discontinued just a heads up. I switched to just plain wireguard when I heard the news.

To be fair, no one has

It’s the opposite… It will run on about anything

Can’t you download those pictures locally? It would be good practice anyway to not rely on Facebook of all places to host your beloved photos indefinitely

Bruh

I did this or something close to it years ago when running windows server. Was a bit of a hassle, but I got things running ok. Now I’m on Linux server with the same machine and it’s not a problem there.

Linux has been better for my server needs generally anyway, but I’m happy to be reminded of yet another reason to stay off windows

Careful because kubuntu still silently installs snaps and I switched off it after having to do the whole ppa thing just to install Firefox correctly

When I was a kid and Facebook was new, I remember everyone wanting an account. The way I see it, Facebook just kept those users who wanted it when it was new. Who’s to say that the same won’t be true of TikTok later?

Whatsapp has been owned by Facebook since 2014. It was created in 2009. That’s 5 years without Facebook, 10 with :/

And I see a lot of them driving around too! But the impression that I get from Koreans is that the idea of Tesla and especially Elon Musk really appeals to them. In my anecdotal experience, people idolize Musk here. In my own conception of things, it makes sense given the control that companies like Samsung have over the population here. It’s so natural to be under the rule of companies that when words like “world’s richest man” get thrown around, people can’t help but throw themselves at him

Koreans love foreign brands and consume the most luxury brands per capita in the world. These luxury brands are more important here as status symbols than anywhere else I’ve lived. I’m surprised by this stat because I work in a very wealthy part of Seoul and see many many teslas each day. It’s honestly baffling how many teslas I see. But I’m with you: why not buy local? Why buy a Tesla at all?

I live in Korea and I see the Samsung foldable phones in the hands of like every 5th person, so yeah I’d say they sell

Just peeking at the list and saw a QR code scanner with the note, “My personal QR code scanner because Android still don’t do that in their native camera…”

Does it really not? I have a Google pixel 6 and the camera provides a clickable link when a QR code is in the frame. Is that maybe a firefox thing? Idk I thought it was the camera app

Also curious about this

Sweet. I’ll watch it in the next day or two

Cheers

What film?

Follow up: how to change to french on templeOS?

Nvidia shield is what I got instead of Roku and holy shit it’s so much better. It can be flashed with another OS as well.
