What do you use instead of Mullvad now?

Again Another elitist Linuxer. 🙄

The guy has over 100 million subscribers on YT, and has been hugely popular for 15 years.

Endorsement from such figures could get us closer to the mythical year of Linux. Why shun it…

Try JetBrains Mono.

Maybe we will, maybe we won’t, but at least it’s tech news for a change. 😄

Discovered Veronica recently… ❤

Then I was obviously checking it a bit before that. Thanks for the update!

Well said.

Seems that 2 of those entitled ones are following you on Lemmy. 😄

Same impression that I got and therefore decided to skip it.

Here are my Filen testing notes from a couple of months ago. It’s a habit of mine so I don’t forget why I discarded some options.

• It’s impossible to upload anything through the Win app. You can only set up sync folders where you need to place files. Through the web app, however, you can upload both folders and files.
• The desktop app disappears as soon as you switch to another app, and you have to launch it again by clicking on the shortcut.
• You can’t access data in the cloud via a virtual drive or anything similar.
• In short, it’s unusable for my use case.

Edit: Be aware that according to Matt@lemdro.id, the above issues have been rectified in the meantime, so you should give it a go before deciding.

I use Librewolf. The comment was meant as info for those who think that having uBlock as a base still holds significance in light of Manifest v3.

Has the same limitations as uBlock Origin with Manifest v3 and won’t work in Chrome.

Yeah, that scenario sounds awfully familiar to me as well. 😅

Even with them, it’s sometimes guesswork. Without them, it’s just stabbing in the dark. 😄

Spike’s a short period set aside to research a problem before committing to how long it’ll take to solve it.

My mentor at my first job was a mid-level dev 10 years younger than me. He was an all-around great and knowledgeable guy. When he’d get asked for an estimate on something without proper details in the ticket, he’d reply that a spike was needed before any kind of estimate, and that’s how it would usually proceed.

Sometimes, however, the PM would insist on an immediate estimate. My mentor would then, without hesitation, reply: “8 points” (a full sprint in our company).

“But why that long when you don’t know the details?”

“Exactly. Give me a spike to find out, and then it could be less.”

None of us other devs contradicted him, junior or senior, because we understood where he was coming from. Needless to say, I learned a lot from him including how not to kill myself so someone else could get a tap on the back.

Subscribed. 🍻

Enjoy, people! 😊

Of course, because world is black & white and that’s something that only bad guys would do.
