My biggest regret was getting rid of a perfectly good portable CRT TV that would have been ideal for pre-7th generation gaming, just as they stopped making good quality CRTs.

I'm about to get rid of my ageing "dumb" TV and not replace it. Everything comes in to my laptop now, so any monitor and set of speakers to plug it in to will do.

My prediction is that this is going to be the end of the line for TVs as stand-alone hardware - just like most people don't really have stand-alone Hi-Fi systems any more.

Europeans flying the flag of Europe.

Hasn't this happened every proms since brexit anyway?

OK well I'm not sure where the AppImage "purists" and Flatpak "critics" are but I've not really encountered them.

I'm going to just pluck this out of the air and say "been to more than three other countries" is well travelled - for someone in the first world that's not difficult and is an important thing to do for broadening the mind. Some people might say that's a low bar, but there are enough that would say it's too high as well which makes me think it's probably about right.

I mean they are two things that co-exist, it's not like they're in commercial competition. Flatpak itself is usually distributed as an RPM or deb.

What's off? That looks like it might be useful.

OK then this is my culture shock because I've never "signed in" to a browser in my life. All I want to know is what are people signing in to?

Also I've discovered there has already been this request:

https://kbin.social/m/science/t/432479

This user @ernest@kbin.social has logged in since then and posted on the platform, (therefore is not an inactive user) but has ignored both the moderation requests and the spam here. Again, I understand the limitations of one person, but a community can't operate under those circumstances.

Sign in to what though? That's what I still don't understand, I've never used a browser that had a mandatory account (except maybe AOL in the 90s but that wasn't really a browser)..

But of course, downloading Firefox is definitely the right choice. :)

As someone who's not used Chrome for a while, what does it mean to be "signed into a regular widow"? Does it mean signed in to a Google account with cookies that can be seen by a regular browser tab, or is there some login process to the actual browser itself these days?

OK, then he should lock it, it's spamming my feed, maybe I should move to something defederated with Kbin. No moderation is dangerous.
