On the contrary, I find it to be pretty honest about the article’s contents. Clickbait implies it misrepresents the content behind it, or adds noise to it that exaggerates what the content entails.

The article itself is persuasive in nature and quite literally is intended to convince the reader to adopt some new product or service- in this case, Nobara. The author is of the opinion that the reader will benefit by switching over. The title reflects that.

“look at me, I’m using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you’re missing out”

It doesn’t say you “must” use some alternative. Necessity isn’t implied anywhere in the title. And the fomo? Nowhere does it say everyone is using Nobara and you should adopt it so you don’t miss out. The article lists and elaborates on the arguments Nathan makes, which aren’t just an appeal to majority, and the title reflects that.

If you’re going to throw a fit over a title of an article be honest about how persuasive the content is and what the actual article is about, then that’s just childish.

I just stick a single line of HTML in the address bar and use that as a text editor. It’s just a giant test field taking up the page with a dark background and white text.

Useful if I just want to write text without any need to format it.

I don’t know when this meme was originally made, but my boss unironically has this taped to his office door, and it’s glorious

Looking it up online, the subject of Opera being chinese spyware seems to be debated pretty thoroughly, but with no definitive consensus (that I could find at least). Any articles on the subject I could read up on?

I use Firefox myself, so it wouldn’t really impact my internet usage, but I’m just curious about what’s going on with Opera.

Funnily enough, I think the last time I used Opera was the Internet Channel on the Wii way back when, which was powered by Opera lmao

For me, I mostly rationalize my piracy as something generally unethical that I choose to partake in anyways. People often cite piracy as an issue with the service being provided, but there’s just a lot of instances where I’d rather pirate something than pay for it, not because the service is bad, but because “Why pay for something when I can just get it free, eh?”

Though I think there is one specific case where I’d undoubtedly consider piracy ethical, which is for products that are not being sold on the market currently. Take a retro video game for instance. If it isn’t being sold by any company, then there is no way to legally play the game apart from getting a secondhand copy. Either way, the company that owns the rights to it won’t derive profit, and they aren’t involved in secondhand markets whatsoever, so pirating the game effectively results in 0 negative consequences for any party, compared to legally acquiring it.
