Although, I believe that's about their browser. Also, ddg's browser was far from advertised, as far as I remember.

In other words, librewolf/arkenfox. Maybe also ungoogled chromium, but seems like too much of a hustle to me.

Contour currently, but might consider that new one by the cosmic team. Contour is a bit minimalistic like alacritty or foot, yet it ligatures (a weird dealbreaker of mine). Goes well with zellij (pretty neat stuff, if u ask me, although breaking sixel is unfortunate, but they're working on it).

Used to use kitty and weztetm, the latter was overall less confusing (generally faster, no need to use quirks for ssh). And then wezterm broke on Wayland :D

Well, technically, you can kill both your dog and your children. With some consequences, that is. Humans are generally considered more valuable than dogs, hence the consequences are more severe.

Anyways, that's f-d up.

That's somewhat weird to me a tradeoff is necessary at all. Almost all the stuff mentioned (except "verifying the speed limit from your GPS position") is perfectly doable offline without sending stuff to their servers. Yeah, sure, they need "data" to improve the technology, but I fail to see how exactly that's my problem: I pay for a car, not for the pleasure of participating in a research they do to make it work.

Friends are overrated, comrade!

Wtf, guys, don't be mean to the bot: they're doing the job to the best of their ability. Besides, I've linked to farside that redirects to piped, and it's kinda weird to expect the bot's dev to know of all the possible redirecters (or whatever they're called).

Yes and no: an unmaintained android will have trouble running newer apps due to older versions of SDK, and you pretty much can't do anything about it (AFAIK), but older software can be nixed/flatpaked or even statically compiled/appimaged (and we can pretty much expect no trouble on the kernel side due to their "not breaking userspace" mantra)

Nixos is at 23.11 :) Also, rolling releases are kinda fun: the latest commit so far is 46ae0210ce163b3cba6c7da08840c1d63de9c701 which roughly translates to nixos-unstable 403509863565239228514588166489915404446713104129 :D

I can only argue with metal body here: that'd vary on model-to-model basis. I've had a few thinkpads made of plastic, and they're fine after a few drops here and there, and hinges are alive and well, also I've seen some (mostly new-ish) laptops made of literal aluminum foil that are bent AF; what's even worse, one wasn't even what they call unibody, i.e. the frame was sandwiched of aluminum shell and a piece of crappy plastic with heat inserts for screws → after like a year of normal usage those inserts literally broke off with the surrounding plastic.

The latter one was some ultrabook by HP. Namedropping here 'cause I have some personal issues with their products, so, frankly speaking, fuck them in particular :)

Personally, I find layers more convenient. Like numbers on qwerty..., shift+numbers on asdf..., and all that stuff
