For one-to-one comms Signal is easier to get started with. Matrix requires a hosting service (or just reliance on the main matrix.org instance), or trust in a server administrator to run one. But it is good software. But unfortunately for group chat it's not as easy to get started as Discord, due to the encrypted nature of Matrix. But Discord shouldn't be considered secure or private, not really. It's just more proprietary spyware, at the end of the day.
Certainly, no matter what, no SMS.
OK but what if this were just my new product to fleece credulous and stupid landlords?
Kidding aside, I would like to find ways to entrap landlords into crippling debt for their sins.
I don't really understand your fstab question as you wrote it, but why aren't you using either genfstab or letting archinstall just do all the tedious parts for you?
Fedora is a poor distro for absolute newcomers because they do not ship any proprietary software by default*, nor do they keep any in their repos. If you want a free-software-only distro and have (the correct) philosophical inclination for a world without proprietary software, it's an excellent choice.
Fedora is the distro I use, but with support from RPMFusion for things like FFmpeg with proprietary codecs, my stupid Nvidia proprietary driver, and so on.

Just the thumbnail and I know exactly that this is about Epstein.
It's so aggressive. When I was young I could watch the players on the court. Now they have the tracking technology (which... as someone into 3d graphics programming I have to admit, that kind of technology is cool) to project ads into the space dynamically. So the court just has more and more virtual real estate sold off for viewers at home. I'm sure it's all perfectly focus and user tested to ensure the exact right balance between unwatchable garbage and, "Ok, I can notice it and maybe I don't like it but I can barely ignore it."
I can appreciate NFL athletes wanting to just stand around and catch their breath, because of the intensity of the sport.
I used to use it to redirect from twitter to my self-hosted Nitter (RIP 😭) instance, but now that that's all over I do not.
I don't use any forks, I just bend Firefox to my will with a couple extensions and a short tour through about:config
This is an interesting tidbit.
However, the fact that Roku even explored this points to a major underlying issue: These days, TV makers hardly make any money with their physical products. Roku’s FY 2023 earnings report shows that the company lost $44 million on the sale of smart TVs, streaming players and other devices in 2023. What brings in the bacon are ads and services; Roku generated a gross profit of nearly $1.6 billion with this business segment.
The only purpose of the TV is to show you ads indefinitely. Even when the sale, which is a loss leader, is recouped by ads you'd think, "Hmm. Maybe that's enough of that." But no, for these companies and their insatiable greed it will never be enough.
I think for many people that is true, but for someone like Ian Cheong I do not give him the benefit of the doubt.
Can you post a source? Because I haven't heard such a thing.
