If your laptop would randomly lock up when watching YouTube videos, you would probably refer to it as crappy too 😉 .

Not being able to print unused workspaces is just a weird thing for me as well, but I'm also someone who would be called "old" by certain age groups. I have never used i3 so I wouldn't know how to achieve that there..

Not at all, I still had to store the stuff in git anyway. Here you go: https://github.com/lindely/laptop

In a work context only for video meetings. When working remote I use my Linux desktop which lacks a webcam and microphone. Also, we use the Cisco ICAClient to work remote and I doubt that would work on a BSD system anyway.

I thought Graphene was the culprit. When I switched it was still Android 13 and Mull was unusable. I couldn't interact with it at random until I restarted it, which was quite the problem. Tried Fennec and have had no issues since.

Woah I didn't know that game was about to be released 😮. It's been on my wish list for a long time. Well, I know what I'll play tomorrow now that I completed Blasphemous 2!

As a software developer for 20 years who hasn't used Google in roughly 14 years, I can assure you that you don't need it for development or looking up stuff :-). Give it a shot, do without for a week or two; DuckDuckGo works superb and the main reason most people think other search engines are worse is because their Google profile is trained to find stuff they tend to click on, like Meta does.

When your employer uses Google software in development there's obviously not much you can do there.

Why would it be difficult? The only Google service I use occasionally is YouTube and I can do without, honestly. My Android phone is free from Google stuff and I use DuckDuckGo for searching since it launched. I pay a small subscription fee for my email and cloud storage.

And then I ran out of things I know people use Google for. Aside from YouTube (in EU and US) I am certain you can easily do without them. People just choose not to.

Unfortunately, you are wrong.

I read about this port blocking thing but don't quite understand what the issue is. I've been using Mullvad for three months now and have a torrent client using the vpn connection without any issues whatsoever. It uses the port I opened in my account at Mullvad's.
