Yeah, I don't feel like being part of the reason algorithm pushes shit titles like this on youtube.

Even when well meaning sometimes malicious code can slip through like with smarttubenext due to a compromised machine.

So I think people forget that just because something is foss doesn't mean it is automatically safe and caution can be thrown to the wind. Skepticism and being overcautious is still good practice before installing things.

I like to wait a while before installing new updates just to see if anything is caught by the community to try to reduce potential risk.

It's just the process of the handover that is making people skittish with the github going private then reappearing with a new maintainer.

I think best route would have been for researchxxl to just fork syncthing-fork to put on F-droid, and catfriend1 just leave their branch archived with an endorsement of researchxxl.

After some time passes and researchxxl gains trust in the community I'm sure people will trust their work. The transition just wasn't handled well.

Yeah I went from cast iron to carbon steel. So easy to clean and non stick. Seasoning it was so easy. All I did was cook onions and garlic with oil a few times.

You should use Firefox with ublock origin in the future or Brave over Opera. And also set downloads to something like ask location before downloading so it doesn't auto download stuff without your permission.

And with you being on Windows 10 I'm guessing your think pad is pretty old. I'd move onto Linux with it being much lightrr and running better.

If you really want to stretch that gift card check out isthereanydeals which will show you the lowest historical price of games and then wait for a sale since you'll have an idea of what a good sales price is. You don't need to spend the 20 bucks right away. It can buy multiple indie titles or old triple a games during sales.

I love that he is implying that GrapheneOS is the criminal OS of choice. /s

That had not even entered my mind before just associating it with privacy. Thanks Linus what a real help pushing that narrative with the title and thumbail.
