Holodeck and romulan mind control--Geordi did not have a great week.

Perhaps not, but your mobile carrier will! I use a Pixel 5 with LineageOS installed (and no google services), but I also needed to install Google Docs for a project (since the web interface refuses to load on Android) which means that Google is still able to access my IP address--but I think that's better than Google's "location history", or Play Protect on Android sending a list of all installed apps

According to the press release it's about 3 times faster--only time will tell but I'm optimistic!

I've love both Firefox and Okular (KDE's evince), and both "technically" support PDF inking, but the experience is just subpar to what Edge offers now for notetaking and reviewing articles. Xournal++ is the gold standard and fully supports my Surface Pen, whereas Edge does not recognize pressure or the eraser. However, I work with a lot of embedded files (Logseq), and the fact that Xournal++ cannot bundle a PDF in a single file and instead needs a reference, plus the fact that PDF is a universal file format, makes Edge the most enticing option for now

I use Edge daily--trying to use mostly non-proprietary software, but when I need to annotate a PDF, Edge just works. It's no drawboard PDF, but it's free and runs on Linux!

The only solution would be, to create - yet again - a universal alternative to the AUR.

Looks like (according to Nate) we can expect a final release of Plasma 6 around November-December--I for one am excited for the enhanced external display & GPU support!

I found a deal for a Racknerd KVM VPS on lowendbox.com--I'm not seeing the same one, but similar offers pop up often!

Agreed that ChromeOS is a linux distro, weird, but a distro nonetheless! I am curious as to what percentage of ChromeOS users have actually enabled linux apps vs those who just use Chrome

I've got Jellyfin on a cheap ($20/year) VPS, and used SSHFS to attach it to some external hard drives attached to a Raspberry Pi. My upload speed is only 10 mbps, but that seems enough for most movies and TV shows, and multiple users can watch simultaneously via SyncPlay. Transcoding works too (up to 1080p)
