On my Microsoft Surface laptop I had a horrible experience with sleep and wake on close and open with windows. More than half the time it wouldn’t wake up on its own and I would have to either have an external keyboard or just turn it off. Currently that same laptop is running opensuse tumbleweed and wake and sleep on close and open works about 85 percent of the time. It isn’t perfect still but it’s way better than windows was.

I’m a big stupid and can come one smart explain why this doesn’t work in reality?

They should have gone with a common design for all the logos. I main tumbleweed and I think this is dumb and confusing to potential newcomers to openSUSE’s distros.

After years of using Feeder on my phone and some other random stuff on my laptop, I switched to FreshRSS on my server and the big thing is everything stays synced. My read and stared articles are all where they should be. I run fluent reader on all my devices and tailscale keeps me always connected to my reader so I can save articles on my phone when I don’t have time to read them then read them when I get home on my laptop or tablet.

I remember at a point limewire or frostwire had movies you could download. Young me downloaded the little mermaid but it was a porn parody and I scared myself for life.

Maybe it’s about Elon’s “ai.”

Any recommendations on privacy friendly eink tablets?

This type of shit with Amazon is partly what made me switch to just using audiobookshelf. It supports ebooks and podcasts as well as audiobooks and is all self hosted. It’s a high recommend for anyone who has a bunch of digital books like myself. I just have an old tablet instead of a kindle.

If you go the android route turn on Apps Only Mode in the settings. It gets rid of the home screen ads for the most part and disabled a lot of the “features” that Google tries to push.

I share with my wife and just got the family plan. It’s overkill probably but it makes it simpler and I don’t have to think about 2 separate subscriptions.

What’s cult like about nobara? I use it on a few devices because it has the kernel patches for Microsoft surface devices already patched in.

Invasion isn’t a bad show but ignoring the fact that See, Silo, Severance, Slow Horses, Foundation, For All Mankind, and most other shows on Apple TV exist is just dumb. Ted Lasso was mid after season 1 imo but Apple TV has an unmatched quality level with most of their library. I dislike Apple but they’ve been making banger after banger compared to every other streaming service and I hope Monarch is just as good as everything else.

I usually have 30+ tabs grouped around in chrome. I got a lot going on and it helps keep my ADHD in check when I’m trying to work on something.

I rely on chromes tab groupings. Nothing in Firefox does as good a job, but I’m getting by just fine for now.

I’ve tried firefox in the past. Back and forth I go when google does something dumb but I always go back. This time I think I’ll deal with the stuff I don’t like for now, or maybe make extensions to fill the voids that I miss desperately.

This is what I’m using now that atom is dead and it feels like I’m still using atom. Highly recommend if you’re a former atom user.

I use Kali a fair bit but even still It’s not a daily driver.
