The quote is a derivative of something Bjarne Stroustrup said himself¹.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off

Ah okay, so you're not attempting to deprecate ALSA. That's a relief! :)

The most recent commit is removing it again. I see no reason in the commits for this back and forth ALSA removal, do you know what it is about?

Intervene? I don't think they have that kind of power ;)

The other commenters in this thread seems to be giving you good advice and moral support, so I'm just going to give my input which comes from a perspective that's a bit different.

Sometimes especially when the options we have are contrary to our beliefs, we have to consider if we really need to be a part of it. Sometimes the burden is the smartphone itself. I don't use smartphones and I couldn't be happier, somehow my life didn't end. The last one I had was the N900 and even though it was a pretty cool pocketcomputer, I guess it's now been around 10 years since I last had a smartphone. I don't miss it and especially not when I see other people who have one. It's scary so addictive it seems to be. Pen and paper for data sharing and just calling people can accomplish many tasks.

Old people with bad eyesight also need banking, so I'd hope theres a bank out there who don't require a smartphone. In my country banks use the national id for authentication and you can get a TOTP keychain for the 2FA instead of an app, perhabs similar options exist.

Anyway, I hope you find something that works for you. Life is a process.

I use WebScrapBook on LibreWolf. It let you choose between saving to single html, maff and htz. I prefer the htz format where resources are stored next to the page in an archive. It can also be viewed natively by Firefox-based browsers using the URI scheme jar:file:///home/me/somepage.htz!/index.html.

My recommendation:

1. Write to your politicians and tell them that cables should become provider neutral to increase competition.
2. Find a cheaper wireless provider and move what can be moved to offline first.
3. Write your current provider and tell them why you cancel.

Thank you.

Interesting that they'll make it a user choice. Who would answer yes?

On 22 July 2024, Google announced that it is changing its approach to Privacy Sandbox. Instead of removing third-party cookies from Chrome, it will be introducing a user-choice prompt, which will allow users to choose whether to retain third party cookies.

Do you have a source for that excus.. uehm.. claim?

That's the last stage of being a FOSS developer.

To me Syphon Filter was like "I want more of this" after playing Metal Gear Solid. Plenty room for two stealth games. To be honest I don't remember any other cutscene sequences from Metal Gear Solid other than "snaaaaaaake... snaaaake..".

From what I read these articles talk about post infection use of OpenNIC tlds. Anyway it was just a suggestion, it's always a good idea to only use DNS servers you trust :)
