  • its not because they are adamant about OSS, but because the H.264 and H.265 codecs have software patents that require distributors paying a license fee. the situation is a bit unclear, that’s why some distros choose to distribute these drivers. Besides fedora, opensuse and others too do not distribute these drivers.

    but flatpak versions of software will get downloaded along with these drivers, and that will work on any distro, because flathub decided they can distribute these drivers. bit of a courageous move, but I guess they know what they are doing.





  • When I quickly want to look something up and are hit with “Allow all tracking or manage your choices?” I click allow, cause it happens 20x a day and I’m done with this shit.

    I rarely see that. I use ublock origin for years now, on PC and phone, with the social and annoyance filters turned on.

    I use the default apps on my phone cause I don’t have the whole day to customize after switching phones anymore.

    I don’t switch phones that often, and I like to know that I can trust my phone.

    I uninstalled NoScript cause it made the internet unusable.

    yeah noscript is a bit hardcore. ublock origin is basically set and forget. but it won’t work on chrome, there it only has a lite version that can only do ad blocking, to some extent. if you want to block trackers effectively that only works on firefox.
