Starting with your funding and who you've acquired tells me whatever follows is not really worth reading.

Better than the commercial alternatives

This comment is giving "100% tested virus free" on a free downloads site vibes.

That's not been my experience. I've been selfhosting email on a small provider VPS for years, never had any deliverability issues that I know of. I've set up DKMS, SPF..etc records…

Nvidia drivers being crap has nothing to do with Linux policies. It's entirely up to Nvidia to invest and improve their drivers but it's clearly not a priority. Their focus is AI. …

Nvidia drivers on Linux are not really display quality. The effort goes towards CUDA for headless rigs. They work great for AI and that's it. Pair them with an AMD and Intel card f…

They're not doing a very good job at it, tried a few disposable free residential proxies - not flagged. Tried my CGNAT home connection - flagged. My phone connection - also flagged…

Unfortunately Steam decks have been out of stock for a while. The AI slop Apocalypse ruined the consumer computing market with chip shortages.

No surprise there, Discord sells user data to Meta and X.

Does it still require wiping your drive and enabling developer mode to install software outside the Play Store like ChromeOS does? DOA if so.

iPhones will transmit bluetooth beacons even if turned off. Fortunately the battery goes completely flat after a couple of weeks or so and then they no longer do. Unfortunately thi…
