Between Okular for reading and quick edits, and the qpdf cli for occasional stranger (particularly encryption-related) things, I can’t remember the last time I touched Acrobat. On macOS, Preview.app (with occasional qpdf) also works very well.

More or less- Due to the amount of unusual requirements for installing on Apple hardware (such as being kicked off from macOS, to name the tip of the iceberg) the Asahi installer gets used for most (all?) distros running on Apple Silicon. https://asahilinux.org/docs/alt/policy/#installation-procedu...

edit: The minimal UEFI part of the Asahi installer specifically sets up a “normal” environment that other distros (like Nix) can use, it doesn’t actually install a full distro like Asahi Fedora

Given that this is the reason the word “defenestration” entered the English language - I’d just like to remind everyone: it’s only defenestration if it comes from the Prague region of Bohemia, otherwise it’s just “sparkling window-yeet”.

So long as it’s never trying to parse a non-digit, the unwraps should be fine. Since it’s using i128s as arguments (and then converting them to strings to do the maths) that should be safe. For actual use, a proper bignum type for the arguments seems like it should be the biggest change needed though.

My personal basics are Adnauseaum (uBlock origin based, makes exceptions for non-tracking ads, and clicks all tracking ones to pollute data), Decentraleyes, HTTPS Everywhere, and multi-touch zoom if I'm on a 2-in-1

It's a single point of failure, sure, but you have to consider... How likely is it that AWS goes down? How likely is it that your internal system maintained by a single person goes down?

Really just a difference in preference in my experience. I personally really like declarative workflows.

Light gaming, general use, HTPC, just about anything really. APU is AMD's term for a CPU with a small graphics chipset on it (most of theirs don't)

I use rainloop for my self hosted. Works much nicer, especially on mobile devices
