You can build in subscriptions or support licenses to your open source apps. Look at cryptomator and bitwarden for example. I know others do it. (And the free version is about as good as paid. But you can pay for a few near features and to support the devs)

And the beauty is that the package management takes no cut and puts no rules on payment methods.

I’m sure he was out of breath looking for his fix. This intervention needed to happen

Competitive games, usually. It is supposed to provide lower latency.

I agree tearing sucks though and I wouldn’t go back to it.

Antonin Scalia’s replacement blockade comes to mind.

What do you have to say about all that Mitch?

Mitch: … O.O …

AFAIK, we have nothing from Madison but her word. It seems little, if anything, was written down. The best we can hope for is a denial or affirmative from anyone else at LMG about her testimony. Even then, it’s all “he said, she said”, unless there is actual corroboration or evidence.

That said, I think what we can corroborate from her is probably the managerial issues and workflow problems. That’s what I’m most confident in.

For all the rest of her testimony, the sexual harasshment and toxicity she endured, I think it’s more likely than not that she is sincere. Women in my life have endured similar treatment elsewhere, under the radar, and they often do not report it, sadly, and I don’t blame them. Anyone can lie about anything, so we have to be careful, and just accept that we may never know factually what the real story is on some of the issues.

If more employees were to speak out or some other evidence came to light, we’d have far more confidence one way or another. Maybe there will be a lawsuit between Madison and LMG and more evidence can come from that. We’ll see

Edit: looks like an independent investigation going to start. Perhaps that will corroborate more of Madison’s testimony

Strict tracking protection makes Firefox on Android a ton faster, especially on any website owned by Google or any link that has a Google wrapper (e.g. clicking a link on the Gmail app)

To add to this, I have uBO installed on FF Android, but Strict Protection still makes things much faster for me. I’m not sure if it’s because of my other Addons, but FF Android is so slow otherwise with certain sites (mostly just Google’s)

I’ve done that, but I want to experiment with lower clocks. In the past, I’ve found efficiency gains by limiting clocks to 70 to 90 percent. I want to try this on my current laptop, and I really like Epp driver so I’d like to use it.

It is already set to the ‘power’ policy with the powersaving governor. Just want that last touch.

This seems to mostly apply to Intel, but this is awesome. Hopefully, AMD will get a page or support the same stuff.

Google drive also works great on kde
