“better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.

Only with context, which is kind of what I was trying to say. The context was Firefox users who are not happy with its current direction, or people looking for a secondary browser. That kind of makes the only necessary criteria "Not Firefox". Everything else is the creator's opinions of which ones you "must try".

To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren't happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I'm not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox

The article begins by talking about web exports. The default there is 42MB, which is kind of a lot for the web

Edit: Of course, compressed it is ~9, which isn't so bad, I suppose.

Did you hear that? I feel like the toilet flushed funny

Sorry, I left this ambiguous. My intended context was that the person you were replying to didn't mention Ecosia's privacy.

I don't see them claiming it is

The aggregate info is public, but valve can tie it to individual users.

This has absolutely never been my experience. Many people actually say Wine is a better choice for running legacy windows games and applications.

I dislike Windows as much as the next guy, and recognize this is just a rant. However:

  1. Might be more HP's fault than Windows
  2. Might be mire Zoom's fault than Windows (though Windows audio is a gongshow)
  3. Just use OpenSSH from Command Prompt or Powershell. It should be preinstalled I think but if not can be installed through Programs and Features) in Windows 10 and above.

EAC Seems broken on Arch? (lemmy.simpl.website)

I recently installed BattleBit Remastered on Steam (uses EAC). Upon trying to run the game, I only get as far as a screen telling me to ensure EAC is installed. I tried their "repair EAC" option in steam, and there was no change (a terminal opens, blinks, and closes again). I tried a system update to see if that would help, but no dice.

Now, when I try to launch Apex Legends (a game which I play all the time), I see EAC loading extremely slowly, then it goes away, but the game never launches (though Steam still shows the title as running).

Is anyone else having issues right now (with an up to date system)? Has anyone else experienced this before?

Edit: Decided to format my OS drive and move to Fedora. Using the same steam library, both games are now working. Clearly some package ended up misconfigured, but I have no idea what or why.
