I know it says gaming monitor. Most of you are probably not into games. However a gaming monitor is good for those with eyesight issues. Better refresh is often more comfortable and puts less strain on you eyes. Excellent for watching movies and other media on as well. Also good for those who are graphic artists. They normally come with a wider range of colors than standard monitors used in a work environment.

An interesting development in systemd development. Likely caused by the tarball security breach a lot of good has come out of that debacle. Much more attention has been paid to hardening the weak spots in Linux security. While not numerous to speak of compared to Microsoft patch Tuesdays every month, it's good to see that a prevented breach has shaken up the community in a good way.

For those who use KDE. The 6.0 release has been getting better and more stable as time goes. Manjaro and many of the Arch distros are not adopting quickly and this is a good thing. There was a lot of things that needed attention. As fun as it is to have the bleeding edge experience it can often be frustrating to deal with the bugs. One of the big things I have enjoyed this release is the compiz 3d cube is working again and is part of kwin. It is usable without a bunch of fiddling.

If Microsoft continues it's ignoring of users and ushering in a cloud based OS they control, they may soon find themselves out of market dominance. One can hope anyways.

Anyone else running into this? It can be circumvented by using old.reddit.com; for now. However, media is still blocked. No idea what else may be.

I personally use AdGuard on my Android. It is NOT free Software, however it WORKS, and is VERY effective on both the Android, and when/if I need to use Windows, I NEVER get an Ad. Every couple of weeks, I get an Email from AdGuard, warning of new shenanigans by big tech. In lieu of flooding the Channel and Chat with a dozen Links, I've screencapped the Email. If something appears interesting to you in the Pictures, search the Title for the Content, using the Titles words. Also, you can search for AdGuards Website, as they have a good page within their Site to read about current threats and other shenanigans. I'm not sure what the subscription price is currently, mine was 79 bucks for three devices, for lifetime. Best purchase I've made, especially for Androids.
