I fell for the Arch meme and I installed Manjaro because it said it was a "user friendly" version of Arch. Wew...

I picked the KDE Edition because of muh looks but I am really starting to regret it. The "Plasma Powered by KDE" splash screen pops up for like 10 seconds after I login and I can't disable it. Fucking disgusting.

I immediately updated the system by clicking the ghost icon and everything went smoothly until I rebooted afterwards. Now the desktop is buggy as fuck and half the time my taskbar is invisible or my system crashes for no reason. I have done nothing to this except update/upgrade it.

Why is KDE such utter shit /g/? Why do they have to advertise their own product after you login?

Am I just not autistic enough to mess with Arch yet? Should I try the XFCE version of Manjaro?

anyone else getting a galaxy note 8?

i'm strongly considering it since i'm still rolling with an iphone 5s and could use an upgrade.

i know this is a pretty stupid question and in itself implies alot more than the smartphone is actually capable of, but in terms of "productivity", is there another smartphone out there that can compete with a galaxy note 8 and the s-pen?

also kindof related; has anyone tried programming on a phone? as in are there any good IDEs for java on android that you guys would recommend or are they all shitty?

Ad Vault Thread.

>What is Ad Nauseam
Fork of uBlock with a feature that clicks ads over a certain period of time.

>Why would I click on ads?
It's a tactic called "click-fraud". It floods Google's tracking algorithm with false information.
More to the point it means that advertisers pay for false clicks, which prompts them asking for refunds which Google must honor out-of-pocket. It also erodes trust in AdSense if advertisers believe Google isn't giving full refunds.

>Is this really hurting Google? Can't they just detect it and block it?
It appears to be working, they blocked the add-on on Chrome and they're are freaking out about it here: http://archive.fo/ZsqYo

The add-on "staggers" clicks over a length of time. This makes it difficult for Google to ever filter false clicks.

>But if they see your IP Clicks thousands more ads on average, that's suspicious
Not quite. The average click-rate per IP is high because of public and institutional IP addresses on campuses, cell-towers, bus stations, etc. Even if they filter IPs with 'too many' clicks, they inevitably end up cutting off a huge percentage of legitimate AdSense marketshare. You can switch IPs if you wish.

You can also reduce the percentage of ads clicked in settings.

>Is this an elaborate scheme by Google to track my IP via AdSense clicks?
I don't think so. AdSense is a big money-maker for Google and I don't see them undermining it on purpose. If they wished to track you they would do so using Google Analytics.
If you blocked Google Analytics (uBlock and Ad Nauseam block Google Analytics), their next option would be to use Youtube and Google Maps embeds on pages. Every time a Youtube or Maps box is visible on a page, Google has already snagged your IP and the domain you're on. That's why I don't think Google is trying to kill AdSense just to track users.

If you wish to become invisible to Google, use uBlock and NoScript.

What's the next best device mp3 player for portable use? Compatible with foobar2000.

5 years back I got memed into buying this and installing Rockbox. I thought I was set for life, but now mine broke and they're expensive for being discontinued. Is there anything better that also has expandable memory? I don't care about whether it can play FLACs, or DOOM.

For headphones I use the Vmoda cf X-100s wired if it makes a difference. I don't want to pay $80+ for something that was once $14. I appreciate your input.
