  • I don’t use Fedora so I’m going to be one of those annoying people and not answer your question. However, I found the official UI to be awful and glitchy on Linux. I use Ubuntu with KDE Plasma and imported a few different Proton OpenVPN country configs into network manager and they work great. It’s possible to import wireguard config also, but IIRC there was a bit of fiddling with that.









  • I just went cold turkey because I can’t/won’t watch content with ads, and already felt the cost of our streaming services was too much for what we get out of it.

    What I’ve found myself doing is if I do buy from Amazon and it’s below the free shipping amount, I try and buy from a marketplace seller who ships themselves for free. Often this ends up matching the Prime price, but it’s buried further down the result because it doesn’t have Prime shipping. Or I buy the same product via eBay, which is mostly cheaper. But main thing is, I’ve found I just buy less. Like A LOT less. As a family we’d often get 3 or 4 Amazon deliveries a week. That’s not been replaced with orders from other retailers. It’s almost as if having Prime encourages you to buy stuff you maybe don’t need!












  • What? I mean, they were young when they did all the good stuff. Black Francis was 14 when he wrote Hear Comes Your Man. There is a Brixton Academy video from 1991 on YouTube and two or three 1989 shows too. Forget about the newer shows! I saw them live in 2004 and 2005 and they were still great, but those earlier shows are where it’s at.
