| nicomachus | I downloaded this desktop news/weather app called Coffee that was featured on OMGUbuntu and it's really, really bad | 15:00 |
| nicomachus | why is OMGUbuntu recommending crap like that | 15:00 |
| nicomachus | Like, it takes up 1/3 of my desktop and is always-on-top. no way to change that setting. There's only 6 possible news sources to choose from, mostly international (BBC, etc), and it wouldn't even load once I set those sources and my location for weather. Just kept spinning the loading icon for 10 mins. | 15:01 |
| nicomachus | WHY would anyone use that over something like newsbeuter or just a damn browser. | 15:01 |
| nicomachus | Spotify client also seems to have gotten 2 updates within the last week. And they seem to be major updates because it removes my desktop icon each time and makes me re-add it. Usually there are months between updates for spotify. | 15:03 |
| nicomachus | Maybe they're finally devoting some resources to us poor linux fools? | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | still can't read the fonts on a large monitor, there no font options | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | on spotify linux | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | readable on a 50inch TV on windows, but not linux | 15:06 |
| nicomachus | Odd. Ubuntu fonts usually scale really well, but idk if they're using Ubuntu fonts. | 15:24 |
| nicomachus | I do use Spotify on my HTPC and throw it up on the 55-inch in the living room often, don't usually have much trouble. | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | spotify fonts aren't readable from 10' away here | 15:30 |
| BluesKaj | and I still don't need glasses :-) | 15:31 |

| nicomachus | interesting. NordVPN has a Chrome extension now and it puts all Chrome traffic through the VPN but nothing else. | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | I'm using PIA , it has a lot of servers and also a separate proxy thru the netherlands for various clients like irc or torrents etc. | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | nicomachus, I've read good things about the Nord vpn service | 16:57 |
| nicomachus | BluesKaj: I like it much better than PIA. PIA was getting too politically active for my tastes, and doing it in a way I despise. Nord let pay for 2 years with a pre-paid VISA card and I've seen better speeds and more options for connections. | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | nicomachus, I see, my internet connection is basic dsl here in the boonies and I haven't noticed much diff between DL speeds with it, as for thier political actions, the only thing I know about is their dispute with Russia about vpn privacy issues, so they pulled the servers there. | 17:09 |
| nicomachus | they've been getting into US politics with very misleading, click-bait headlines on their blog. And donating to political causes. No thanks. I want a VPN tht focuses on providing VPN service. Not politics. | 17:10 |
| nicomachus | And I have a gigabit fiber connection so I definitely notice the speed. | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | I see Nordvpn has a 72% off sale for 2 yrs serveice...very tempting ,but I just paid up for a year back in April. I'll check them out again next spring | 17:12 |
| nicomachus | Yea that's the deal I got. | 17:13 |

| BluesKaj | nicomachus, just found out that PIA also has the vpn extension for google-chrome, just finished setting it up | 17:50 |
