Finally.


Presumably I speak not only for myself. My reply is zero. Zero is the exact number of fucks given.


To US voters: you reap what you sow. Next time, vote wiser.

If free and fair elections survive, I expect we will. If not, this will likely be a lifelong lesson on the decline of a nation.

The last such threat to the nation ended with FDR's death, and before that, the end of the Civil War. I hope we'll get another chance.


FDR? FDR did spawn many (controversial) programs/agencies but he also got (the world) through WW2. There's something to be said for that. He also picked a pretty good VP. Yes, he overstayed his welcome, but his death in office wasn't something that people were necessarily looking forward to & his funeral was a very somber affair. Can we say the same thing about the Imperial Cheeto in Chief?


I agree, and we have at least 3.5 more years left for this. Plus I believe foreign visitors to the US will continue to decrease as Trump doubles down on this crazy policies.

The funny thing is, except for maybe NYC, most tourists tend to go to red states, where these businesses will get no support from their state gov. This is winning I guess /s

I use xpdf or evince. Never ran into a PDF that one of those couldn't handle. My needs are simple though.


My favorite PDF reader currently. It's limited, but faster than anything I've tried.


Mupdf searches large pdfs much faster. However since I switched to wayland/sway I also use zathura because cut & paste works. Mupdf is an X application but I still use it to search large pdfs. But there is also this plugin but I did not try hard enough to get it running: https://github.com/pwmt/zathura-pdf-mupdf. Under xorg worked cut & paste with mupdf.


That's not a fair comparison as you need a bunch of dependencies to actually render stuff. On my system zathura-pdf-mupdf alone is 24M.


I using it with via Vorta (https://vorta.borgbase.com) frontend. My favorite backup solution so far.


Pika Backup (https://apps.gnome.org/PikaBackup/) pointed at https://borgbase.com is my choice.


Some time ago I went to Vivaldi and since then I use its Reading List.


- Codeberg - Signal - Vivaldi



Vivaldi is still chromium based.


Yes, but one of the best alternatives until Ladybird is ready.

Librewolf, Vivaldi, Orion (iOS and macOS only) are all solid options.


To me something Chromium based is just not a good alternative, since you'll still play in Google's hands.

Librewolf is based on Firefox. If Firefox dies then Librewolf is done as well.

Orion is Webkit-based, which is not too bad, but as you said it's ios and macOS only.


Why would I switch to a proprietary browser?


Agreed, this should've been the Chromium mention instead of Brave (crypto, ads, that CEO...)


What's wrong with Brave's CEO?


He did donations against same-sex marriage. I see why some people would not want him to be an influential person, myself included.

Also because of how economy works now, interest in Brave translates to the value of its built-in cryptocurrency (BAT) and therefore the economic power of its creator.


They're mad he sided with the majority of the state on ballot measure 8 seventeen years ago.


..on banning same-sex marriage


Fine, the ads and the crypto should be enough, right?


For me hijacking its users' links and referrers to grab money [0] (while stripping this money from actual affiliate links its users may have followed) was enough. Software that does this is actually malware. That's actual loss of trust. I would not bet on it while waiting the next time they would get caught doing sth malicious.

Sublime Text user here, it's been my go to editor for the last few years. The best. A keeper.
