These were so cool. Didn’t they work by the pitch omitted? When a mechanical lever struck a plate that emitted a tone. The tv then receives the tone and completes the task.

I’m on the Proton train, but know now, you’ll never see a discount once you’re a customer. They will promo you up to a more premium plan, but I recommend only comparing proton at full price.

Edit: I'm on a proton family plan. I’ve watched since October for any kind of deal or promo with Black Friday. There’s nothing available once you’re on this type of plan.

You will be offered a discount the first time you up to this plan, but once on it, nothing.

This sentiment is all over the proton communities.

For what it’s worth, I’m not expecting any BIG discounts from proton, but it would feel a lot better if they offered something (5 or 10 percent) on an annual subscription that’s nearly $300. (Yes I know annual is discounted from monthly, as is always the case).

As a subscriber it feels like you’re just part of the revenue stream and forgotten.

Seems like this model trained on Bill Waterson.

NextDNS has been good to me. I think it’s about $20/yr if you go over the free tier.

Maybe one day I’ll get my pie-hole running. This was easier.

Don’t worry. If you upgrade to a premium plan, you won’t be eligible to get any discounts anymore. Nothing offered to existing customers even if purchasing annually.

Sincerely, Frustrated Proton Family plan subscriber

Thanks, I’ll dig into that one sometime!

In my experience, not much, but I’m a marginally functional newbie. Mint manages things for you fairly nicely and has been the best, it just works with out messing with much/anything. (At least for my hardware)

I managed to get gnome working smoothly on mint and have been happy with it. I started and returned here since I last ditched windows as a native OS.

The only thing that has made me consider distro hopping from mint is AUR on arch and gnome, though I’ve been successful so far.

Part of trying the distros that are more advanced and give you more explicit control and configuration is the sense of accomplishment and it makes you figure out how and why things work the way they do. It holistically builds your velocity in your understanding of Linux. (Or gnu whatever that nuance is).

If your machine has enough resources it is super easy to host VMs of anything you want to try. You can try them all, and it won’t cost you anything but time!

Kagi has been the closest thing to the google from 2003 that I’ve encountered in a long time. I’ve not tried their assistant that’s only available on the ultimate plan as it’s too expensive for me. FWIW, I have the duo plan, soon to move to the family plan.

The quick answer usually works pretty well and you have access to fastgpt if you want more of the LLM effect.

Completely agree. I understood WebKit to be a different browse engine than chromium or Firefox.

While chromium and Firefox have wider platform options, there’s “kind of” a 3rd runner even though locked to apple.

I agree Linux and open source is king.

I was thinking WebKit was closer to Netscape in origin.

You made me go look it up. 😉 and I think we’re both wrong…. (Here’s my edit…. Poster above is right. I read it wrong, so only I am wrong on the origin of WebKit)

Below from Wikipedia:

WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS software libraries from KDE.

On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome

A or C is a connector type. There’s different versions with different speeds.
