Does DDG still have the same upward trend that they used to before Brave caught on?

Native Firefox? I would suggest using Librewolf or Icecat.

Are Honey's and Mello worth the price? I went to Cartems once and I never went back because of the price.

I'm concerned that fresh made donuts, no pre-mix, are becoming a rare special treat due to how expensive they're becoming. At a certain point the taste of something does not justify the cost.

For a small setup, are you talking about doing an ITX build?

Since you have a wider range of requirements or purpose for the build, I'm concerned that you might have to decide between economical and productive.

In the cheaper side, I would suggest a Ryzen 7 5800x3D, at least 32GB of RAM, and RTX 3080 from last gen. If you can spend more money for new hardward features, I would say 7800x3D and RTX 4070.

If you were doing heavy development work and naking money from your computer, I would suggest the 16-core Ryzen 9 7950x and 64GB of memory/RAM.

Minifree is between double to triple the price of the same laptop on eBay. Libreboot is strictly an ideological matter, it doesn't help with privacy if software installed isn't configured a certain way and also what software is installed.

BIOS is not the bacldoor is. Also, if you don't build your on router, you can't garauntee who your router is sending packets to. Also DNS makes a different. Libreboot does not provide the protection think it does.

It doesn't help that Libreboot laptops are at least 10 years old. Those are some low resolution LCD screens compared the LED and full hi-def.

A T570 on eBay or where you can find it.

You should look at benchmarks in 2 weeks between the 770 and 4060 after it is released. Your 3600 is going to hurt performance if you buy really high end. In today's money, the price of the 4060 matches the original price of the 1060 6GB.

Beyond a new GPU, I would suggest building a whole new computer. If I can partially guess, I would say the 4 core i3 121000 would beat your 3600. I do know that the 12100 matches the 6 core i7 8700K.

One option is buy the best GPU you have extra money to spend on, and then in a year buy build a Ryzen 8000 system when those get released and then put your new GPU in your next system.

To give you an idea about performance, the 4060 Ti beats the 1080 Ti.

You can live at ease with not having any debt weighing on you.

I was thinking maybe you could do a 4 core i3 13100, B660 board, 16GB DDR4, and RX 7600.

That would beat a 8700K and Radeon 580.

I've been using SimpleX for at least 6 months as a full replacement for both Session and Briar and I have gotten a few people over SimpleX.

Now I only use Signal and SimpleX exclusively, nothing else to talk with people.

Both of those statements stand on their own, one does not cancel the other, so there is no contradiction.

In fact, one statement holds true with the other.

How old is your system? Would it not be inexpensive enough for you to build a new cheap system for a performance upgrade? What hardware do you need to have a fully functional system working again?

 

What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I'm not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don't see what the intent behind it is.

 

Illegal BC drugs killing more people than homicides, accidents and other factors

In BC, 100,000 households close to becoming homeless

 

What are people's favourite first person single player campaigns, no third person games??

 

Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?

Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.

Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there's no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.

 

Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

Why can't people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

 

Why are all of the news postings in here from government funded source, and no independent media?

 

Why does Mastodon censor people worse than Twitter over hurt feelings? It seems multiple servers or instances prefer to ban account for using a bad word, rather than be an adult and let each person decide if they want to engage or not. Even going so far as ban an entire instance from other servers for not being nice.

Twitter users can block someone to not seem them anymore but accounts are not auto deleted because they used a word on a auto ban naughty list.

I personally condemn insulting other people, but in the real world when someone goes outside, nothing can be done about getting mocked or insulted and people have to continue on with their lives. How are people so scared of words and always run away rather than have the confidence to stand up for themself and punch a bully?

Mastodon will continue to stay wholly irrelevant and pointless until people can handle bad words and insults is unavoidable part of everyday life, unless their too scared to ever go outside again and are even scared to read certain words on a screen.

 

Why are the majority of peoppe so hostile to the 4060 Ti release? Is it only because of the price and people think it should only be $350?

I suspect the internet outrage is more about people either addicted to anger, or outrage for the sake of fitting in with other people's outrage. Similar to everybody's outrage of Ampere, 30 series unavailable, but now there's graphics cards and nothing is selling.

I'm interested to buy the 4070, but at 50% more money than the 4060 Ti but only 25 to 30% more performance than the 4060 Ti, the 4070 is not worth the money. Now I'm thinking to buy a regular 4060 and upgrade to 6000 or 60 series.

I only single play campaigns exclusively, zero multiplayer, and I don't buy games every year because not many games have a campaign I want to play over again. It's been maybe 40 years since I bought new, the free Epic games help.
