I'd also like to see this damning evidence (that I am sceptical will ever be shared)

Breaking news: Snake oil salesman claims snake oil is the answer

Mr Urban said younger people were straying from previous generations who would be more inclined to “go out late night and stay out”. “I think social media means that you don’t have to do that to stay in touch with your friends,” he told PA.

Perhaps Phil should ask a younger person? Or fund some research into this? I think he'd quickly realise it has fuck all to do with social media or home delivery. But no, more sports pubs are the answer.

AMD. I think if I had nvidia I might've gone for Pop OS, I heard that has good support for them out the box.

Dabbled with Linux over the years but have finally made the jump to using it as my primary OS. I tried a bunch of distros and settled on the elegant simplicity of Mint. Every game has worked just.. fine.

It feels genuinely refreshing to know nothing will change without my consent, I know I will not login one day to find a surprise cortana/copilot/clippy icon in the taskbar or an ad for Avowed waiting for me. I can't believe that is even considered a 'pro', but here we are.

I strongly recommend symfonium on android. Plexamp is a really polished app but I found the handling of downloaded files quite poor, I don't think you can even search downloads when you're offline? (other bonus to symfonium is it supports jellyfin and sources, in case you were to ever fully move away from plex)

I have definitely seen worries about tailscale in other threads related to a recent VC funding round, I suppose they haven't aggressively started the enshittification journey (yet), and it is also a bonus that most of tailscale is open source, e.g. headscale exists.

If tailscale started reducing the free service # of devices/users to push people towards their paid 'personal plus' plan then maybe we'd see a similar backlash. I say this as a tailscale user myself.

I'd also like to hear more about it. I'm not sure I'll stick with proton after my sub next expires and infomaniak seems a strong competitor
