fwiw in the future you can find out the path to your drives and their uuid if needed with

lsblk -f

Yep. No reason not to think it isn’t just corporate greed again.

(from the article about the previous insane egg prices)

In absolutely unrelated news, eggs are suddenly incredibly expensive. A dozen “conventional” eggs are currently averaging $2.88, which is double what they cost a year ago. Supposedly, this is caused by a supply chain shock (an avian flu outbreak).

But – and this will shock you, I know – the single company that dominates the US egg industry, Cal-Maine Food (AKA CALM – ugh) is making record profits. Their Q3/22 net was up 65% from the year before. Cal-Maine’s Q4-22 sales were up record-smashing 110% – $801.7m:

OK. I’m not claiming google isn’t trying. I’m claiming it doesn’t matter, and this is a solvable problem for end users. Most others in this thread are saying just FF and ublock does it, so I probably have overkill going on.

I only know this is happening with Youtube recently because of seeing other people talk about it.

FWIW, with Firefox on Linux with pihole on my network and ublock origin, some component (or the mix) of those things seems to have meant that so far I have yet to experience a single one of the things Google has been doing since the adblock wars began again. I just checked now to see if there was any delay, and there is not.

I haven’t seen a single popup, nor a single warning, no slowdowns, and no ads. I installed freetube in preparation for getting screwed, and although I like it, ad-wise and speed-wise it’s no different than hitting youtube directly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sure, everything has bugs and bugfixes are good. It’s just not fair to characterize this entire release as bugfixes and menu adjustments, IMO.

Are you a KDE user? I switched from Gnome 3 when Plasma 5 was new, the very moment it seemed close enough to finished to expect reasonable stability. It was a huge departure from KDE4, and after trying literally every other DE to find happiness away from Gnome (that’s all I’m going to say about that) over the course of several years, it was such a welcome relief.

Plasma 5 was not only a life preserver for folks bailing from Gnome, it also showed they’d learned from their own mistakes with KDE4, which many users felt was just as much a trainwreck as Gnome 3.

There’s a lot going on under the hood with the change to QT6 as noted, and that alone merits a version number change, IMO. I haven’t tracked a whole lot of specific features, but I know there are a lot of wayland refinements and HDR support coming, and I’m doubtful that the many pointieststick blogposts have been doing nothing but writing about bugfixes and menu changes, even if I haven’t read every single one of them.

The general default look and feel maybe isn’t being radically changed, but this is Linux, and more importantly KDE; we’re all about theming and customization anyway, right?

Most importantly they aren’t throwing out the baby with the bathwater. They did it (intentionally or not) with 4, and then (in my perception) they were forced to do it with Plasma 5 because of KDE4.

After living through the transition from Gnome 2 to 3, and KDE 3.5 to 4, then feeling the relief when Plasma 5 just absolutely crushed it, I’m very happy to see them upgrading the undercarriage and making things generally better instead of building it all from the ground up again.

Plasma 5 made me a KDE user and fanboy. I am super excited to see what 6 will bring.

KDE team, you rock.

Thanks!

Garak might have had something to say about that.

I use Sonixd as the frontend to my Navidrome server, and it’s the bees knees.

So, like usual, DRM only fucked the people trying to play by the rules.

You should try Linux because you want to and find it interesting to learn. If you are doing it because other people told you to, you are going to have a bad time.

Linux isn’t Windows with different branding. Things work differently, and if you take the time to understand why you’ll usually see the logic eventually, even if you may not to agree with it. I think folks are bristling a bit at your implication that things are hard on purpose somehow. Many experienced users find the terminal easier to use and more efficient; it shouldn’t shock anyone (including you) that it’s going to feel awkward when you don’t understand it yet.

Howtos tend to use the terminal because it’s likely to work the same for everyone regardless of what other choices they’ve made with desktop environment, etc.

You can do nearly everything with a GUI if you choose.

Both options will install the Mullvad client from the AUR. (If you use an arch derivative, that already tells you some things. If you don’t, then you are missing some context.) The first option will install from binary, the second will compile from source. Which you choose is up to you.

If you blindly chose one over the other because you didn’t know, worst case you end up being impatient if it takes awhile to compile from source.

This is well known and Ernest is working on a passel of fixes, and is really spread thin. I’d suggest tagging him for any bug (new or not) vs reporting an issue via bugtracker is counterproductive, and probably just adding to his stress.

They’ll vote for him if he runs though won’t they?

Fail on both moron

You know how to avoid having people call you an arrogant prick who believes only your own personal experiences are valid? Don’t say things that an arrogant prick who thought only their own personal experiences were valid would say.

And what do you mean fail on both? You sound like a Republican to me. That doesn’t mean you are one. It just means you seem like one, to me.

So far, you aren’t really changing my mind. You may not be one, but you definitely talk like one.

Nobody is affraid to come out anymore, this in isn’t 1950, spare us your drama.

Translation: I’m self-centered and arrogant enough to believe my personal experiences have taught me everything I need to know about the personal experiences of others.

You sound like a Republican.

One of us! One of us!

Although I think having to fix a borked bootloader is a good bit of experience, it’s probably not something you are always going to want to spend time on. I have used boot-repair only once, but it was like magic. Just throwing it out there for your future use and a general recommendation. :)
