Intel is ruining Intel.

But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.

Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.

Firefox and Brave Search

openSUSE also remains one of the only distributions that have automatic Btrfs snapshots setup out of the box. I am very surprised other distributions have not done the same. Especially Fedora, since they use Btrfs already.

Everyone already anticipates new Google services to fail. Expecting people to spend hundreds of dollars on content that is locked to a service run by a company that is known for canceling services after a couple of years was always going to fail.

Stadia was essentially just a demo of Google’s cloud capabilities. Even if Stadia was a massive success, it would still be a drop in the bucket compared to Google’s ad revenue and have no impact on stock price.

Ironically, if Google were upfront about how it would handle the shutdown, it likely would have increased consumer confidence enough that Stadia may not have needed to be shutdown.

I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.

Yes. With MXroute, you pay for storage and can create as many accounts, emails, aliases, etc. as you want.

Fedora will not get Plasma 6 until 40 releases next month in April.

Google Pay was rebranded to Google Wallet. GPay is Google’s Venmo equivalent and a separate service.

I wish Debian had a version with more recent software that is suitable for regular use. I know many people use Testing and Sid, but Testing often has delayed security updates and it’s not unusual for Sid to break. And both get weird around the freeze for the next release. It would be great if there was a version like Tumbleweed that was constantly rolling and received automated testing to prevent many of the problems Unstable experiences.

I currently use Tumbleweed on my computers and Debian on my servers, but I would love to use Debian on everything.

Roku supports Miracast, so it should work.

Why just Linux? This applies no matter the operating system someone is using.

I use Downpour for Audiobooks. It is similar to Audible where audiobooks can be purchased individually, or there is a subscription that provides credits to purchase audiobooks. The audiobooks are drm-free and can be downloaded. I have not found a way to automate the download and transfer to my Audiobookshelf server, but I don’t mind doing it manually considering I average around two or three audiobooks a month.

Doku still has the typical wiki style version control. It uses other text files to keep a changelog without cluttering the markdown file.
