I'd definitely recommend Anki over Quizlet. Among many things it is very versatile, doesn't cost a subscription, and has a better retention algorithm in my experience. Can't comment on the rest although Photomath definitely helped me a few times :)

Just know that sites like this are useless if you don't understand the results. There are anti-fingerprinting techniques that add random noise to your fingerprint. This might result in these kind of tests claiming you have a completely unique fingerprint, even though the anti-fingerprinting mechanisms randomise the fingerprint for every site, browser session, etc. (depending on the config). This would mean that you are relatively „safe“ from fingerprinting because you never have the same print twice but tests think you are very vulnerable because it's still a random “unique“ fingerprint.

I really liked Typewise. However, third party keyboards seem so broken on iOS that I went back to stock. I regularly had issues with the keyboard not opening properly, bugging out, etc. :/

Oh, interesting. In that case I misunderstood that part, I thought there were core devs of Atom involved in Pulsar, thanks :)

Oh, in that case you might like either. I think both are great in their own way!

I think Zed is quite different from Atom. But Pulsar might be your thing. A direct fork of the last release of Atom being developed by ex Atom developers :)

Yea but many of them were involved. The Audi CEO at the time was on the board making the decision and the first to be convicted.

Don't worry, I don't think you are. I just think there's a reason they admitted so easily. Probably just another calculated fallout to save all their other brands from their own mini backlash which would ultimately cause more damage.

But yes, the whole industry is a dumpster fire when it comes to regulations and also lobbying.

I mean they also own like half the industry. So, I don't feel particularly bad for them to be honest.

Honestly, as much as I would like that as the next guy.. I doubt they would've gotten anywhere close to engagement in the range of 400 comments sadly.

When it comes to reach this is still not the place to be. Now, how meaningful the comments are? That's a different question.

 

I finally did it and got an used RX 6950 XT to replace my GTX 1080 Ti. I've been using this card ever since I moved to Linux and now I'm wondering what exactly I have to do. On Windows it's mostly run DDU and install the new AMD drivers, everything else will probably work the same with Afterburner etc.

However, on Linux the only things I know are uninstalling the Nvidia drivers, removing GWE since that obviously won't work and installing Mesa.

What other steps do people recommend? I'm hyped to finally get properly working GPU acceleration in Firefox and other things like Steam, but is there anything I have to do to get that running? Also what tools are currently a must with an AMD card for some undervolting / overclocking and other functionality y'all can recommend?

So someone already mentioned this, but there is this list I maintain on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/RayJW/awesome-foss

There is also this website which is pretty neat if you're searching for an alternative for a specific software: https://www.opensourcealternative.to/

I almost agree but there are more options for private mail than Proton and Tuta. You can also use Fastmail, mailbox.org, Disroot, or Forward Mail. There are even more options. But as the Proton CEO said, you can never be certain that a company won't be bought up for enough money at some point.
