I would've believed you either way lmao. The amount of weird brand names when I'm looking for something as generic as, say, a HDMI cable, wouldn't make me surprised if a seller named themselves after XXXTentacion

Some motherboards will actually try to install software when you install Windows. Recent ASUS and Gigabyte motherboards are known for this, however with ASUS I know you can disable it (source: own an ASUS motherboard, there's an option to disable the installation of Armory Crate)

Vivaldi's pretty good feature-wise. It's got tab workspaces and stacking, detailed themes, mouse gestures, menu customisations, tab tiling, it's basically where a lot of the Firefox power-users have gone. It's a solid browser. That being said, a lot of the Firefox fanboyism is prevalent here so you're going to make a few people angry if you suggest anything that's based on Chromium. Just use whatever you see fit - I personally don't care too much about open-source vs. proprietary, I use Steam for crying out loud.

That being said, I've also gotta shill Pulse. I don't like the way Mozilla is running Firefox so I'm steering away from that, luckily Pulse is forked from Firefox. I'm concerned about Mozilla treating userChrome.css as a legacy feature, so having native vertical tabs is great, and a generally minimalist UI makes it a very clean looking browser to use. With Simple Tab Groups, the only extension I've installed for extra functionality with the browser itself, I've basically got my Vivaldi replacement, though If Mozilla breaks STG I'm moving my ass back to Vivaldi.

Bluesky already has a third-party client that can replicate TweetDeck well enough. Mastodon and Misskey also have a "deck" UI.

I think Madison's post happened after the video itself was planned, recorded, etc, so it's understandable why that's not addressed. But Linus really has to address what she's said on the forums ASAP at least, because there's a lot of damning claims towards his company from her. Like seriously, wtf Linus?

Gonna pop the ThreadReader link here for those who don't want to log into Twitter: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

On the Floatplane thing, I am a bit worried for DankPods, who put a lot of backing into Floatplane after he got screwed over by Twitch. This whole thing might have some collateral damage towards the other creators on there, including him. Was considering subscribing to Floatplane for him and his drum streams before this.

Misread it as "sex with self-driving cars" and was disappointed it's not that.

Covenience. Most people really don't care about that as long as they can get whatever Android app they have on their computer. I say this as a Waydroid user.

I knew Fedora had Flatpak baked in but didn't know Linux Mint had it. I know they've got a hatred for Snaps, though lol. Thanks for the explanation!
