  • Unfortunately, as much as I hate to admit it as someone who has left Chromium behind personally, Chromium is kind of the only choice.

    With Mozilla’s rudderless stewardship of Firefox, I reluctantly agree with this. Firefox, and Mozilla, used to stand for something more than just a browser, but that is sadly vanishing now. Chrome is really the future and while I’m clinging on to Firefox, I will succumb in the end.

    It’s very sad. I’ve been a Firefox user for so long I’ve lost count. But Mozilla has lost it’s way and I don’t see it making any noise about getting back on course.

    I think having one browser engine is a very bad idea. But here we are.





  • I settled on Raindrop.io which is free but I paid to support it ($30 a year I think). I had to change my workflow slightly and the Obsidian integration is not as great as Omnivore’s, but it wasn’t a pain. The browser integration is really good and I prefer it to Omnivore’s. It supports RSS and has a decent mobile app.

    Overall I think it’s a decent replacement and I’m happy.

    I tried Wallabag but the Obsidian integration was poor and Wallabag felt unloved recycle by extension made me question it’s future (which is unfair given my limited time with it). There was a trial which was not enough time for me to evaluate it comfortably.







  • Being up to date is the entire point and so typically there are only global options to either grab those updates from the vendor or host them internally on a central server but you wouldn’t want to slow roll or stage those updates since that fundamentally reduces the protection from zero days and novel attacks that the product is specifically there to detect and stop.

    That’s not your, or Crowdstrikes, decision to make. If organizations have applied settings to not install updates automatically then that’s what they expect to happen and you need to honour it. You don’t “know best”. They do.











  • In my opinion, it’s common sense to research an operating system, how it works and what’s expected, before you move to it. And to also research if there are any issues with your hardware on your new operating system you chose.

    The OP complained about many things. You singled out one. Most of them would have been mitigated had they researched what I mentioned above.

    Its my opinion, and I stand by what I said before.


  • Your comment, like the OP’s post fails to recognise the arrogance of jumping from one OS to another and expecting to put no work in and that it will work just as he expects.

    dogmatic OS fundamentalism

    I recognise OS’s are not the same as it’s the basis for my comment. Stop your bullshit.

    When you move to an OS, have the common sense to not expect it to work the same way as the one you came from.

    My disagreement doesn’t meaning I’m falling prey to anything. I am free to disagree with anybody I like for any reason I deem important enough for me. Just as you are. It’s called having a different opinion. Look it up.
