Such a shame that so few people know how to ride a horse these days. You still see them across the countryside and in many cities, but most people choose not to learn.

But of course if they didn’t have guns everything would be fine.

Which brands are acceptable to be associated with?

(I don’t own one, and I’m not familiar with what other brands are available these days.)

VPN isn’t the only or best solution for this. Alternatives include TOR, proxies, etc.

There are multiple types, but that looks like a press brake. If you haven’t seen one in action, you might enjoy searching up a video of someone using one to make something.

Your comment boils down to ‘what about this other word?’. If you remove that part your comment has zero substance.

Your ‘whatabout’ argument does not suddenly neutralize any or all dog whistles and make them OK to use.

Edit: <moved> incorrect reply level

But if that’s the extent of the approach you’d still be giving the same information to your VPN provider.

Most people would be better off just making sure all of their traffic uses TLS. If you also need to obscure your address from your destination’s host, then combine the two protections.

You shouldn’t need to pay for a VPN to prevent your ISP from seeing whether your torrent is public-domain or not if you’re using TLS.

F-Droid works […]

[…]

[…] that’s going to severely limit the potential userbase for that package.

I don’t think most developers who are putting their Open-Source apps on F-Droid have any minimum user threshold.

Though even Apple were pushing html5 web apps at the time and didn’t initially allow 3rd-party apps. The app store later launched on July 10, 2008.

👍 I agree with that and personally use Plasma currently, though have mained gnome in the past.

Pinning the version of one package doesn’t constitute “micromanage every little piece of software independentlly”.

No need to get hyperbolic.

If you’re not willing to take even a small action to customize your system, then you should just take what you get and don’t throw a fit.

Agreed. I’ve made a day trip to the neighboring state to buy a used car from a CL listing, but I probably wouldn’t travel to the other side of the country for it.

Similarly, for many things I wouldn’t travel more than an hour to get them.

The distance radius really needs to be adjustable per search to be useful outside of densely populated areas.

It seems like on CL the city labels are mostly for human readable convenience and behind the scenes it’s by distance. You can set a distance from any point:

One thing I would find valuable is mechanisms to dissuade the listings with obviously false prices. So many things on CL that aren’t really free or $1.

My use of eBay is closer to my use of Craigslist instead of being like an auction. I don’t like to wait for the long bidding windows used online. I also don’t like haggling on prices. In this case, people post what they’re selling, and if I decide to buy it a third party payment platform is used to transfer funds.

The differences are that CL is usually items I pick up personally instead of being shipped (but not always), and some CL sellers only accept cash. I have also picked up eBay purchases locally.

Shouldn’t that only apply if the other software depends on the new functionality in the updated gnome?
