On some machines PC games actually run better under SteamOS than Windows but sure, use the inferior OS if you insist.

Many people love AI, I have a lot of acquaintances who actively seek out the best “AI browser” whatever that means. It makes sense for mozilla not to fall out this bandwagon just yet.

As the dude from this picture, let me tell you that piracy was reeeally different 30 years ago (more like 25 for me). We were years away from DSL, downloading a piss-poor CAM rip of Star Wars ep1 took hours. Then you’d invest in a CD burner and exchange movies with your friends.

When I cancelled my subscriptions a year ago, I found out about Jellyfin and the *arr stack, took a couple of hours to set them up, and now I can download a whole show in a couple of taps while my friend is telling me about it, and watch it on my TV in 4K, or on my phone in the subway like 15 minutes later.

Sure, the underlying methods of acquisition haven’t changed much since BitTorrent came out, but the ecosystem is on a whole other level.

Doesn’t work for le lave-linge though.

Most geeks were running 2000. Windows was easy to pirate at the time, you just needed a valid key, no online checks or anything.

Well I tried it before commenting, and I see the same thing as OP… I’m on Firefox stable 145.0.1.

Very important step you missed: be scouted out by the financial elite early on, then have them groom you every step of the way.

Sharing is much quicker than copy/pasting manually, especially with direct share targets.

It might not be the end of the world, but Mozilla really should have made the “feature” opt-in, or at least give us a heads up.

It’s only for links shared via WhatsApp for some reason. Not sure how they know you’re sharing to WhatsApp… (Edit: firefox implements a custom share widget instead of the one provided by the OS, so they get a callback when the user selects the target)

OP is wrong about the “unique” part tho, I get the same URL as them.

This implies some respect might be due. OP’s version leaves no room for doubt.

With good ear protection though, or the pain will remain.

Still better than the morons who took their baby to a Taylor Swift concert…

Proton is WINE, it’s a fork maintained by Valve and Codeweaver with DXVK (Direct X -> Vulkan) on top. If you use Steam for gaming it will set up proton automatically for you.

And yes macOS is a step up from Windows, but it’s still a walled garden. Want to develop an iOS app? You must buy a Mac, you must buy a developer license, you must use the worst IDE ever created, and you must distribute it through the app store (except in Europe in theory, but they worked hard to make the experience so miserable that almost no one bothers).

From time to time I’ll still look at their steam page during sales, because I’d like to play a blockbuster single player FPS where I can mindlessly mow down bad guys, with good story and production value.

But the price point and reviews always turn me off… Do you have a good alternative to recommend?

I’d argue that if the app is not monetized, you deserve whatever the dev feels like giving you, for free.

My tech-illiterate mom uses my Jellyfin instance with no issues. I sent her a link to the app store, her credentials, my server’s hostname and that was it. And once it’s set up, Jellyfin is much more straightforward to use than Plex.

Sure Jellyfin has issues and doesn’t support as many types of devices, but Plex is far from perfect. I use it like twice a year, and the UI gets more and more confusing with each update IMO.

Yeah but if the script which initiates the connection to the local server is blocked there’s no connection to intercept in the first place.
