Waiting for the army of MS shills coming to tell you that they can't possibly use Linux because of the myriad high end professional-grade software they use which means absolutely no one could ever go near Linux either. Because that's really important when it comes to getting more life out of your shitty 2gb Atom netbook

Maybe if people/browser makers didn't bend over to this nonsense, the websites would figure it out. You know, the people who's problem that is (because yes, if you run a website and want to make money off it, that's your problem to fix not mine, and it's certainly not my job to cater to it).

If you just install Linux on your Mac and have a dark Qt theme set, Qbittorrent will also be dark.

I thought we'd blocked ads already?

Dark Reader extension turns all websites into dark mode whether they like it or not.

Checkmate!

I'm really curious to see what their regular mouse is like purely so I can recommend it to others (The amount of people I show my Classic to and they're immediately put off because it's a ball not a rodent is crazy). Wish there were more to choose from as well but I'm glad at least someone is doing it!

Ploopy mice are a real thing and run QMK. I have their Classic trackball and it's an absolute beast

I found out not long ago that I can't donate blood in the US because I'm British and lived here during the 1990's so could theoretically be carrying mad cow disease.

You can do that with a Pinecil too, there is a web-bluetooth frontend available for the V2 (the V1 doesn't have Bluetooth).

The n900 was truly the best phone ever to exist and I'm deeply upset about it not having a modern equivalent

Use Heroic launcher for Epic games, it works great for everything I've put through it (including anti-cheat riddled stuff like GTA5 and Fall Guys). Heroic also supports GOG games. Lutris does the rest but can be a bit hit and miss compared to Steam/Heroic.

You're 100% right. Linux itself is perfectly capable for a lot of users (note I didn't say all users, or even most users, before people start coming at me with their weird edge case that requires Windows) but the community of both users and devs do absolutely nothing good to get people on board.

In what way? I use them and it works just fine. Plus, I already had one so it cost me nothing to use it with my phone.

Well, I have to either attach it to my phone with a clip of some kind (which makes for sometimes questionable ergonomics or for a very wobbly, insecure setup that makes me fear I'll drop my phone) Or I have to put my phone down on something, which for the sort of thing I use devices like this for just isn't doable.

I've found clip-on ones to be very insecure and wobbly generally. I have an 8bitdo controller with their phone mount clip thing and the setup just feels way too top-heavy like I'm going to drop my phone at any moment.

Besides aren’t you already powering two devices when you carry this thing around with you

Which is exactly the point I'm making. I want to split that battery life up between devices, so my phone is less likely to die on me. I can deal without a handheld game console but if my phone taps out it's more of a problem.
