  • That was my point. They (forum users, I don’t think actual developers) insisted that it’s a middle solution. That I could use the application and whitelist only the browser and that some JS could bypass the VPN and get the real IP.

    I got two years of Nord for that same reason, then two of Proton that’s about to end, so this was probably around 4 years ago.

    That last example is extremely bad and reeks of bad faith argument. Eating apples, as with fruits and fresh produce in general, has been tested multiples times and some of it’s benefits measured.

    There’s already a general consensus that they are “beneficial”. A study that says “apples are good for you” wouldn’t add anything unless they are good in a way that wasn’t known before. For example, do they have a different and unknown impact in people with a specific condition?

    Of course if the study doesn’t have any real study behind and just says things like “apples are good because they are fruits” then it can be labeled as pseudoscience.


  • I do use it for day to day, even work. Not saying it’s bad, but when you have an issue, you’re basically alone. For example I’m still using the image from Feb 14th because all the newer ones boot to black (clean image, nothing layered).

    I’m hoping at some point a newer one will eventually work, the same way it stopped working on Jan 16th and worked again early Feb.

    I can sort of deal with it, but wouldn’t recommend based on my experience.



  • Bazzite user here. For gaming it’s great… Until it’s not. Let me explain.

    Out of the box, as pure steam machine is fantastic. Everything just works. But if you try to deviate, thighs get hairy.

    It’s inmutable, so almost all your apps need to be flatpack/appimages. If those don’t work, you need to pray distro box can help. For some uses I had to do a lot of weird workarounds.

    The main problem I have is that every now and then an update breaks the system. It’s not a big problem as you can rollback easily, without affecting home, but it’s a learning curve and very infuriating to see AGAIN boot to black and hope next update will fix it.
