I only use Win11 as a remote game server to play games with Moonlight/Sunshine without worrying about compatibility issues. To work and daily usage, it’s Linux all the way.

Just a matter of time until I transition 100% to Linux though. In the meantime I run WinUtil every once in a while to make sure to disable most of that shit.

Social network algorithms doesn’t care if you like or not the content itself, what matters the most to them is how long your screen stays parked on a post.

Maybe you’re watching something you think it’s terrible, and then you enter comments to see how people are reacting. It might be making you furious, but that makes it, mathematically, a successful post that grabbed your attention and therefore the algorithm will throw more of that shit at you, because it wants your attention.

It is evil because it ignores human nature and it doesn’t measure how you feel about it. It rewards highly controversial topics because it knows these posts grab people’s attention one way or another.

Is it a new action from them? I’ve been reading a lot complaints about it lately.

If they’re banning people for using VPN, they’ve reached a new low. Not that I care though… Reddit is just a shadow of what it once was.

Not recommended. Even if you’re not writing data to the drive, when you read it the physical components keep working, which can lead to more damage until you lose everything. I would recommend you to back up, right now, your most important data to any other drive you have, then unplug this damaged one, buy a new drive, and then backup your stuff on it following a ‘emergency’ order (the most important and non replaceable files first, and then the less important stuff).

What gives it in is the ID 5, Reallocated_Sector_Ct. In your log, there were found 120 reallocated sectors, which indicates pretty much literally a physical damage in the hard drive. The drive detects this damaged sectors and move the data to a different one.

Proton Mail is operated by Proton AG, which is a for-profit corporation.

That being said, even though Proton Mail is probably more trustworthy than Google and Microsoft services, it’s still handled by a for-profit corporation and therefore can’t be fully trusted.

Nowadays if something is owned by a corp I wouldn’t recommend anyone to get too attached to it. Use it while you feel it’s worth, but prepare to swap for something else eventually.

In other words: don’t ever fully trust your data to company owned software, and always look for a backup solution.

Not much, really. I’ve heard Zen had memory leak issues on Windows, but I was using it on CachyOS and didn’t bother to swap. But I use Waterfox on Android and on Windows, and I like it very much.

If I had to choose just one nowadays though, I would probably stick with Waterfox. I like Zen, but sometimes it feels more experimental.

Mozilla Firefox has gone downhill…

Not sure if they’re the best options nowadays (balancing privacy and usability), but I’ve been enjoying Waterfox and Zen for a while and don’t see any reason to go back to Firefox.
