  • LibreWolf default settings are kind of annoying for someone who lives alone and no one else has physical access to their desktop. I don’t need to be logged out of everything and have my history wiped every time.

    I finally tried LibreWolf today and gave up after about an hour of getting annoyed that my less-secure preferences wouldn’t stick and stay. I don’t know, maybe I’m not the target audience, but was finally thinking of giving a Firefox fork a shot and it mostly just annoyed me because I am not necessarily looking for something so ultra secure that it’s deleting all the history and shit every time the browser closes. I feel like having cookies persist isn’t something I should have to allow on a site-by-site basis when I want to stay logged into like 30 different sites, including local sites on my LAN that I manage personally.



  • I have had great luck with a 6600XT myself, but your mileage may vary. There seems to be a fair amount of variance in terms of which AMD cards have solid footing in Linux and which games they work well with. I haven’t had any issues but I generally don’t play visually demanding games.

    Also, if you ever want to roll out your own local LLM, you’re just going to have better performance with an Nvidia card, as ROCm just seems to not be quite up to snuff at speedy work.

    All of this is so on the nose except the updates bit.

    Sorry, mate, but if you skip an update because you don’t feel like keeping up and it’s because there’s a massive security flaw that leaves your PC up to easy compromise, that’s genuinely a bad thing.

    Yeah, most times updates are just new features but if you’re not paying attention you have no idea if it’s a feature update or a security update, do you?

    If only you have physical access to your computers and they’re firewalled properly sure, maybe it’s safe enough, but the vast majority of people don’t have things firewalled properly at the very least.

    I don’t know, that’s the only bit that seems a bit short-sighted to me, especially when it comes to more casual users.
