To be fair, my husband is about as far from tech savvy as they come, and he’s been running Linux for years on his laptop. Every 2-3 years I upgrade him. Sometimes just within distros (Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04 say. Other times, I’ve moved him distros (to fedora) or back to Ubuntu. Otherwise? I don’t touch his system. He’s been happy for years.
Tbh, they very likely have cameras pointed at the bathroom entrances at the very least, and quite possibly in common areas of the bathrooms too. You’re at school. Not home. Your right to privacy is minimal at best.
This. If you want to go back to the days without systemd and writing invit scripts manually, knock yourselves out. The rest of us will continue to live in the modern world of systemd, pulse audio (and now pipe wire).
Probably to some degree… But on any other distro, the same is almost certainly true today too. Only it’s between… rpm/aur/deb/etc and Flatpaks instead of snap.
Yeah. Part of me is annoyed by snaps. But, tbh, having tried fedora and opensuse over the last few years, I don’t quite see how they’re so much worse than freaking Flatpaks. And at least they come gods damned fully enabled.
Been running Ubuntu 22.04 for the last several months and have yet to see anything resembling an ad. I guess it prompts me why there’s system updates every fe days to a week or so. But I’d hardly call that an ‘ad’.
I’ve never cared for mint because I don’t really want my Linux to look like Windows. Which is what mint does.
I’m down to using Facebook in Firefox again. And reddit very occasionally too. Gostery,AdBlock, privacy possum, so many addons available for Firefox.
Firefox on mobile has piles of apps generally now. No need for a list or nightly or beta.
Yup. When net neutrality died it let a few corporate overlords rise up and kill off much of the old free web. What much of us grew up on was a much fewer, wilder web. One you could still dream on and where you could still think damned near any new thing could come from anyone. Now, you pretty much have to already have $.
Honestly it’s one of my personal reasons for disliking AI. I (let alone most of our kids) don’t want or need a reason to think less, let alone own less of my content. FFS.
Yeah, anti-cheat/multiplayer is the biggest hurdle to go for linux gaming, as well as VR. They’re the two things that continue to hold my kids in Windows, for now. I hope that someday they’re remedied and I can move them into Linux systems for gaming, but for now, it’s just not realistic, sadly.
Same. Containers are what Firefox has and chrome just doesn’t.
Yeah, being able to run other os is part of what got me on pixels to start with. But, honestly they’re just nice phones. Currently have 3 pixel 6as and a pixel 6
Yeah. I’m on vacation anyways, with me minimal cell coverage, so it’s been pretty easy, but I’ve popped in a handful of times. but, there’s no way I’m installing their client. None. I don’t have Facebook, or Twitters clients, I’ll be damned if Im installing reddit.
Eh, I don’t care what you eat. But I find very offensive, naive, and just plain wrong the idea that it’s impossible to sustainably raise animals for meat, eggs, dairy, etc as many vegans will try to insist.
Does it cost more? Yes. Can we raise as many as we do today using conventional farming techniques? No. Will/should we all cut back on our meat, dairy, etc? Yes. But, then again being more mindful of what we all eat is going to be required regardless, if we’re going to manage to feed everyone.
Eh. I know the basics. I can open, do some very basic editng, save and close. That’s about as much as is really needed, right?
I like slice! A slice of life… A slice of the lemmingverse 😁
I still can’t figure out what they’re actually doing. My husband was worried that he wasn’t going to be able to watch at work. But, so far that hasn’t proved to be true. So… Yeah. Idk. We’re keeping it for now, and as long as he/we can continue to watch both at home and at work. And, bonus points if my dad can watch at his second house in Asheville (he lives with us half time and there half time, we split sharing of various streaming services…)
I feel so very very sorry for them. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy… /s
