Comment Tap to pay (Score 1) 54

I tap to pay since ~2016, checking account or credit card, both are in Google Pay, I never went back.

I only use cash for things I buy on Marketplace and even then, in Canada we do interac transfer it's instantaneous and free.

Comment Re:PSA slashdot using very malware-like ad platfor (Score 1) 57

Same thing, a false popup of a site saying that I have to unblock html-load.com because it break the site, it is not broken, they are using an anti-ads script. uBlockOrigin does not block it, it needs javascript injection or a tampermonkey script.

Where is the "Disable Ads" checkbox we had for 25 years?!?

Comment Re:MX Linux? (Score 5, Informative) 83

I used Mint with Cinnamon years ago, I tried to like it like everyone does, but I hated it, especially the UI. Then I discovered MX Linux, I started with MX18 IIRC, with Xfce, it's so simple, so nice, so fast, no systemd, no snap, no flatpak. For me (developer) I'm using MX 8h/day for maybe 5 years now, best distro ever, never broken, always up to date with latest kernel, FF, etc.

Started BASIC then assembly Z80 on my ZX81 at 11yo, at 14yo I was cracking games on my Amstrad CPC6128 (still a Z80) and at 16yo cracking on PC (8086), so don't underestimate teens...
