Does your voice calling work ok in Firefox? My video calls start off ok but always seem to drop out after a short bit. I wonder if it's Firefox or my 30 privacy and security extensions lol

It sucks, it doesn't work properly in Firefox, so I have keep it open in a Chromium window too. This morning I saw new messages in my Chromium but not in Firefox until I reloaded the page. I wonder what other information it's keeping from me.

I love KDE. It's got easy to use power user features and is very robust.

Possibly, but that's a much smaller project being run by 1 guy. Linux has a lot more people and reviews involved.

My first thought is that this was to make Linux palatable to western regulations, like how companies can't use Kaspersky anymore. Stupid if I'm right because it's not like the fsb is going to sneak spyware into Linux.

Edit: Linus commented on this and I was right: https://lemmy.world/comment/13034386

When I go to Lemmy, I'm not logged in until I click on a post to read, what's up with that? I used to stay logged in.

Eww extremely embarrassing that they used Windows.

FreeFileSync detects moves and changes quickly without rereading the whole file. The first time you sync it will read every file to hash them first, this takes a long time but subsequent syncs will be fast.

Buy a refurb, they're cheap and you'll be able to find something you like. My current laptop is around 10 years old with 4G RAM and a friggin' modem port and VGA!

Google added it to their search by default, I had to change my default search to exclude it. Same with my Android phone, I got prompted to switch from Google Assistant to Bard and declined. Really glad I did since I later read about how awful it is. Yesterday I saw a copilot icon in Teams that I have to use for work. I clicked it out of curiosity and it showed an error and then wouldn't let me use Teams for 5 minutes. When I finally got in the copilot button was gone lol.

I think there's more AI hate because it's being pushed onto users that didn't ask for it and don't want it from the likes of Microsoft, Google and Amazon. And I think it's warranted!
