It performs fairly well. Certainly better than Chromium browsers. [07:34] DaemonFC[m] And it still lets you disable persistent nuisances like autoplaying videos. [07:34] DaemonFC[m] So it's almost worth it for that alone.

[08:01] DaemonFC[m] But DuckDuckGo is an option, out of the box, in Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari, Vivaldi, Opera, and Firefox. [08:01] DaemonFC[m] So they pay to be there.

[20:26] DaemonFC[m] I think the interesting thing here is that there are so many companies with a "cloud" infrastructure to choose from, and since the others are so focused on Linux, Microsoft had to go there too or face having no serious market presence.

[20:28] DaemonFC[m] I don't think that the fundamental architecture of Windows NT is badly broken. I think that the components that came later and are now a part of the Windows API were poorly designed and were not created with even the intermediate future in mind.

[20:34] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: Trump fired the Walter Reed doctor who said his hospital drive by was irresponsible. [20:35] DaemonFC[m] Plenty of time to settle scores while the nation's business goes undone. [20:35] DaemonFC[m] Again, thankfully the 20th amendment spared us a further 42 days of this. ● Dec 28 [21:01] *GNUmoon (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrights [21:09] *GNUmoon has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [21:24] schestowitz see picture in "It was a very "interesting" year for Bill Gates too." https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/1229011-2020-was-another-interesting-year-for-microsoft-around-open-source-linux [21:24] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-2020 Was Another Interesting Year For Microsoft Around Open-Source/Linux - Phoronix Forums [21:35] *Sajesajama_ has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [21:43] DaemonFC[m] schestowitzwas mocking the US for not having passports that are accepted anywhere. [21:44] DaemonFC[m] Then the UK gets on the shitlist practically anywhere they have one lick of common sense. [21:44] DaemonFC[m] It's only a matter of time before the new strain gets here because the US has not implemented a total ban on incoming flights from the UK and "negative tests" didn't even stop the White House outbreak. [21:45] DaemonFC[m] So that's not going to do much. [21:45] DaemonFC[m] So it won't be too long before we're dealing with that too, and then 5,000 dead each day because why not.

[22:16] DaemonFC[m] Might make the "consumers" skittish.

[22:31] DaemonFC[m] Mandy mostly uses it as an overglorified web browser anyway. [22:31] schestowitz good [22:31] DaemonFC[m] Getting rid of the swap partition and using compressed RAM was a long time coming. [22:32] schestowitz red hat doing experiments [22:32] schestowitz sorry, ibm [22:32] DaemonFC[m] Yeah, although these have been out there without much distribution attention for years. [22:33] DaemonFC[m] I'm surprised Ubuntu wasn't interested in setting things up like this. The swap file should be the absolute last resort. It's not like the system is pleasant to use while it's thrashing the swap anyway. [22:34] DaemonFC[m] On a system with 16 GB of RAM, swap is hardly used and moving it to a compressed RAM drive makes more sense. [22:38] DaemonFC[m] I just put PIA's browser extension in there for him. Not interesting in figuring out PIA on Fedora system-wide right now until they post official instructions on wireguard without their Linux app. [22:38] DaemonFC[m] *interested [22:38] DaemonFC[m] The most Mandy might do online is go watch a pirate anime stream. [22:38] DaemonFC[m] I have no idea what he does. I don't know if those sites are legit. They might be. [22:39] DaemonFC[m] If they aren't I don't want the logs on my ISP's system. [22:40] DaemonFC[m] The Windows PIA client supports Wireguard. [22:40] DaemonFC[m] The OpenVPN adapter for the Windows build is a huge resource suck and the killswitch is less reliable. [22:44] schestowitz do you pay PIA? ● Dec 28 [23:42] *chomwitt has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
