No comment intended, but… oh, well. Too late now.

They knew it’s not going to stay new forever, but they went ahead with that name anyway. I guess that’s what happens when the marketing team wins the company raffle.

Speaking of buying weird niche items from Amazon: I’ve ordered spare parts and other weird and obscure electronics from Amazon so many times that now they think I’m a company and that I should have a company account.

How did this happen? If I want to buy normal stuff, I’ll walk to a normal store and buy it there. If I need something a bit more special, I’ll probably find it somewhere within a 2000 km radius. If nobody sells what I need, I’ll try Amazon. That’s why my shopping history looks like I’m running some special company.

They’re all surrounded by controversies, so obviously you shouldn’t use any of them as your main browser. However, using a shady browser for nothing other than watching YT with a specific account mitigates the privacy issues to some extent. Due to the annoyingly sandboxy nature of iOS and iPadOS, normal spyware isn’t going to be able do much there, so I wouldn’t be too worried about that. If these apps pull some real exploits to get to my data, that’s a different matter alltogether.

Yattee is great if you don’t care about logging in.

If you do, there are still ways to block the ads by using an ad blocker for Safari or even using a different browser such as avast, opera or brave. You may need to tweak some settings, so it’s not guaranteed to be a plug and play experience. Even if a browser works with iOS, it might not work in iPadOS, so be prepared to try lots of different things.

The year of the Linux desktop is upon us. The prophecy has been foretold by the sages of the code. A new dawn is on the horizon. A new era of freedom an power approaches as more and more disks are cleansed by the mighty forces set free by Stallmann and Torvalds. No more shall the users be enslaved by proprietary software and restrictive licenses.

The Year of the Linux Desktop is upon us, and nothing can stop it.

In that case the, one liner has to be long and designed in such a way that every word can work as a cliffhanger.

Before I fall a sleep, I should tell you about the secret gold treasure buried under the old…

And then use Firefox to download Lynx.

I actually had a W10 phone as my work phone. I had no issues with the OS, but app availability was absolutely abysmal. All the crazy W8 touch optimizations suddenly made a lot of sense. Too bad it died so soon.

I don’t think anyone has ever made a submarine out of toilet paper tubes, masking tape and blu-tack. This is the peak of innovation.

After all, sharing is caring.

Also, it probably weighs over 3500 kg, so you’ll need a C license to drive it. Fun fact, if you have one of those, you can also drive a huge lorry. Why would you choose an eyesore like that, when you could be a badass rock hauler.
