You might check out the Lawnchair launcher, that aims to replicate the Pixel launcher, but FOSS and more cuatomizable. You can set the search app up with any browser on that.

Elon musk: is inventing brain chips

People: oh okay.

Elon musk: wants people to use them

People:

Can I be a friend of yours lol

I hope it goes on sale for <$10 at some point, it looks really fun

I could be wrong, but I believe he meant that other countries themselves should pass similar laws; not that the EU should make laws mandating what Apple does in other countries

Important rights of businesses in the US constitution include

• The commerce clause.
• The right to free speech.
• The right to free association.

Important note regarding a business’s right to regulate free speech: The rules of the Constitution are meant to regulate Congress, not businesses or citizens. Therefore, the right to free speech means Congress cannot restrict someone from speaking his or her mind, but a business may be able to.

For example, a radio show has the right to not allow a certain person to speak on its program or to say certain things. Ultimately, such issues are decided by the Supreme Court, and there may be some exceptions, depending on the circumstances.

Our library in the last place we lived (Midwest of the US) let you take pans from their large collection of cake pans. It was actually really useful.

The weird part is, when you actually talk to a Conservative irl, they don’t care about EVs. Sure they might not like them—they might even think they’re a Political scheme or whatever. But they at least understand that there are more important things happening. Politicians failure to represent their user base’s viewpoint in the US is always astounding.

I forgot about Chromebooks—granted, I don’t really think of those as what I mean. I don’t generally think that “user friendly = restricted and less control”, though I’m sure others would disagree. I don’t think of Chromebooks as real mainstream Linux.

Oh, and the steam deck has done this I believe, though I don’t own one so I don’t know how restricted that is either.

Recently built a new PC and clean installed Nobara Linux. It’s so much… Better. In every way, except for compatibility—and even that’s not close to as bad as people say it is. Granted, I had used mostly open source programs before (still quite disappointed that Playnite isn’t available on Linux, I do miss that) but I’m using mostly the same software. The pre-done compatibility fixes etc. that the Nobara team has done (huge props to them!) has made it far easier than i even expected. It really is getting to the point that I want a major laptop/PC manufacturer to ship with a polished, user friendly Linux distro, and get the ball rolling.

Quick question—does the kiss launch have the ability to hide apps? This is often a deal breaker for me with launchers

I used Niagara free for quite a while. It does have a fair few features locked behind the paywall, but it’s certainly usable.

Any reason to switch from InnerTune to this?

It’s insane that Americans still tolerate this.

A consistent viewpoint I see on America, is the assumption that if we don’t like a politician we can simply say so and they’re out of office. One of the biggest problems here is actually that most people feel lacking in their personal control on the government, even local. Everything is such a large scale, that ‘speaking up’ not only feels like it does nothing—it really does nothing, unless you’re famous or something. No one here is happy about how our government works, we just don’t have control over it. It’s an illusion of control, while the people at the top make the actual choices.

Really cool article—though I really wish more articles like this included sources. Not that I necessarily don’t believe it or something, but things like this have scientific papers backing them up, and it makes me uncomfortable when they aren’t included

I know I’m very late to the party on this one

Don’t worry my guy, that’s the whole point of this subreddit :p

I didn’t know this was so customizable, I’ll have to check it out.

I’m still waiting for Cyberpunk to be cheap enough for me lol, I don’t get enough money to buy a game >$20

Personally, I don’t think a service is in the wrong for trying to protect against ad block, especially when their revenue comes from ads. However I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with adblockers continuing to innovate to circumvent that. I’m rooting for Ublock Origin lol

The spotlight-like search from Windows Power toys is far better, they should just make it the default

You know, I always forget that
