You shouldn’t trust TurboTax so much.

They also keep trying to trick you into giving consent:

They also lobby to keep taxes complex.

You use Simplex over Signal for improved privacy and no identifiers, not Matrix.

Signal is still very good though.

https://devenv.sh/

Note this also builds oci compatible containers you can run with podman, kubernetes, etc.

It lets you develop on bare metal in an environment the same as the docker container and is reproducible rather than just repeatable.

Google play services betrays you.

Use https://grapheneos.org/ and it sandboxes Google play for you, but ironically requires a Google Pixel phone.

Signal very recently made syncing between devices possible:

What’s your take on what valve has done for linux gaming and how much off it is open source?

Doesn’t opera gx have horrible privacy issues?

Maybe the Nobel should have went to you.

No identifiers, so your social graph stays private.

Also has an independent security audit.

To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.

Mouse, mostly. I’ve noticed that I feel lag much much more with mouse.

I use Linux in part because it makes building software easier.

It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.

I can confirm 3-5ms frametimes with a popular shooter at 165hz.

Games feel almost disgusting on 60hz now, but they felt fine before I tried 144hz.

Maybe if I was stuck at 60hz for a long time id get used to it.

Now though, if I switch for 30m I can’t ignore the difference.

This comment betrays a technical misunderstanding.

Not only is it possible, but designing games from the ground up in this way makes it easier for developers to test and make robust software.

You can change the color.

Its an alias, so no problem.

Chrome still uses WebKit.
