De souls have nothing to do with it. Circa 2015 I'd literally drop to a shell on boot. I think I had a 500 series nvidia card back then. Is have to use the cli with lynx or something to download the driver and install it lol.

Used to get it like every other update on arch. For it once or twice on Manjaro and once on catchyos.

But in also on an nvidia card. Can't afford to switch these days lol

Ya then you need an application and you need to jump hoops or have certain versions of packages not available in your package manager, and on arch, here we go.

I love me my arch, but yes. This is a reality.

So much more work than just private window. Risk isn't as bad as installing the app, good enough for me.

Always has been. Bait and switch etc.

Its not for you, its for the billionaires to use to track and manipulate and blackmail the general populace.

So I'm not crazy for running it in my web browser in a private window any time I use it? Good.

There won't be an outage next time. Next time just pay for the all new subscription, 99.99% uptime!

I fucking hate the current state of technology.

It does. But those devices you can't control or just need some catchall, a global filter is convenient.

There was also a time you couldn't use Firefox, and by extension uBlock, on iPhone.

Brave is hot trash.

 

The Commodore Callback 8020 flip phone looks like it’s from decades ago but its price was definitely a sign of today’s times. That’s changed, with Commodore’s announcement today that it will drop the price $100 for most models before pre-orders start next week.

The phone caused a stir when it was announced a week ago. First, there was the thrill of 80s computing legend Commodore making a phone. Then the phone being retro in both look and function caught attention, with a flip-phone form factor combined with a focus on privacy. But one of the most unique features of the Callback 8020 is that it runs Android apps on Linux-based Sailfish OS instead of Android. Among all of the praise though, was criticism that a $500 starting price for the basic models was too high.

A year has passed since Commodore, the computer brand many of you know and love, came back from the dead under new ownership. The comeback is picking up pace too, with a lineup that already includes multiple Commodore 64 Ultimate editions, a C64X PC, and a licensing program that invites outside builders to use the name. Now, they have announced a return to the phone market, and not in the doomscrolling glass-slab avatar we are all used to, but in a retro, very equippable flip phone format....
