I am very impatient to get my hands on @kagihq 's Orion browser for Linux. Ever since learning about it, everything else has felt super hostile. Never realized just how much browsers hate their users until I saw Orion.

The most recent update on my phone makes it look like it has some sort of danger level indicator or something.

Today, the danger level is 2.5/4

The default dead key setup in Linux kinda sucks if you're switching regularly between typing accented languages, and languages where you don't accent but do contract words. Fortunately, there's a simple fix.

I used to be all about Discord. I was a member of Hypesquad events, repped them at Gamescom, paid for Nitro.

Then I bought a game on their shop which disappeared half a year later.

Yet another "you will own nothing and you will be happy" company.

So anyway, I'm looking into getting me one of those IRC clients that runs on a server so I can login from multiple devices and not miss anything.

One way to deal with all these scam apps in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store is to make both Google and Apple liable to pay victims for letting these fraudulent/scam apps run on their platforms. Unless we make them accountable, nothing is going to stop their sloppy security practices. Google lets anyone run ads about tech support which are scams again. Similarly, their app store also includes those apps.
