Waterfox is a better choice in that regard.

Seems like PEBCAK to me. What an embarrassing article for someone who is supposed to know about PCs for a living.

I think the author only knows about very popular games and Windows as opposed to PCs in general.

The killswitch isn’t safe for bittorrent on your own PC as they have a tendency to expose your IP briefly when the connection drops before it kicks in. Binding your torrent client to your VPN network is 100% reliable though so no need for a seedbox.

Yep, “AI” is a very fancy database query masquerading as science fiction.

I use Duolingo every day, seems pretty effective to me.

I’m not sure how it’s a privacy nightmare. I gave them my email address for spam and a false name.

To avoid the ads, I use it via browser (firefox with ublock origin) on my phone instead of on the app.

Yeah, it’s a fantastic game. I think i’m probably at about 700 hours :D

The expansion is called Fangs of Asterkarn and is gonna have a bunch of cool stuff! I think they said it’ll be out Q1 or early Q2 next year.

I had planned to play the Metro series but instead I’m playing Grim Dawn which works out fine with the new expansion coming soon.

OK, India still has the highest rate of Veganism in the world.

highest rate of veganism in history

India says hello

Thats what I said. I said it is either a Christian or Consumerist occasion.

What an awfully written and excessively reductionist article.

Arguing against Christmas as a Christian or Consumerist occasion would have been a better use of their time.

I don’t have a low spec rig myself but here are some games i’ve gotten a lot out of that’ll run on most anything…

Terraria, Grim Dawn, Chronicon, Heroes of Hammerwatch, Vampire Survivors and Into the Breach.

Lmao, no it won’t.

Seems like an absolute ripoff.

Fair enough, I totally agree about Ubuntu, although Mint doesn’t have most of the bad Ubuntu stuff. What it does benefit from is Ubuntu’s superior hardware support, PPAs (most important for up-to-date Mesa) and GUI stuff like Driver Manager/Update Manager. For a beginner or casual user there’s no contest.

Yes, I know Mint is downstream of Ubuntu, that’s how I know it doesn’t include Snaps. What exactly other “nonsense” is there or was your statement just a general LMDE puritan hand-wave?

Waterfox. As I understand it, Librewolf goes to extremes for privacy to the point where it may impact your browsing experience. Waterfox cares about privacy too but not to the same extreme.

Which Ubuntu stuff does Mint Cinnamon have? I thought the point of Mint was that they removed a bunch of that stuff like Snaps.

I think Koreader has built in progress sync.

A little bit of google-fu goes a long way ;)

Have fun!
