Funny how companies and applications default to features being auto implemented by default. Baked into the applications.

What happened to having the user select what they want rather then “a kill switch” for an application, whatever that means. Features shouldn’t be on by default. I should be able to turn what I want on and off

Currently Freetube hasn’t worked the last couple days. Wonder if this is why. Usually its fixed in a few days, so no worries

The best setup in my eyes would be :

Dumb phone to take with you for calls / text messages and a non Sim card smartphone that would have apps on it but be hotspot over using the dumb phones data. Basically wifi only

That way if I were just doing errands on the weekend, just take the dumb phone. And then take the smartphone for onsite job trips and whatnot.

Smartphone would be degoogled. Remember, 2fa authentication doesn’t need mobile data to work, its time based

bingo

Some people including me maybe dont want Linux to become popular.

Can we please have something in this world that isnt ruined by the general population? They already ruined the internet -

Its funny since when the .iso for Windows 11 first became available, it would state you were installing Windows 10 or even Windows Server edition but after installing, it would be Windows 11

Window build numbers are still Windows 10.xxxxxx

Sometimes YOU have to make changes that you want to see. And not wait for corporations

Look into Asahi Linux. Its a community driven project Fedora (and other distros) to run on newer Silicon Mac’s. I have it on my M2 MBP and its amazing. It may not be for everyone since it runs AARCH64 / battery isnt great (6+ hours). But its my best looking Linux install due to its screen

now imagine having a girlfriend / boyfriends plus 3 little ones?

Luckily i dont yet that going on but i feel your pain sometimes. I tend to go to bed around 11pm and get up at 5am. Naturally without any alarms. So i have 2 hours in the morning, i tend to do smaller home duties and then after work, study for 1 hour (no more no less), eat and then chill on the couch. On the weekend, get all of your cleaning, errands do as soon as possible which will allow the rest of the day to hang out with friends, or whatever

My biggest advice that I wish more people would is to go to bed on Friday / Saturday / Sunday at the same time you would throughout the week. Dont extend your waking hours and be sluggish come Monday.

Also enjoy your life. It goes quick

At the end of the day, any Distro that you pick will be essentially the same, as far as handling WoW. I have played WoW over the years on the multiple Linux Distros that I have used. The best way would be via Proton from within Steam. I tend to like the custom Proton version - Glorious Eggroll’s version.

For Linux Distros, pick one that is heavily documented like Ubuntu / Mint, both Debian based and tons of troubleshooting articles in case you need to reference them. Tend to prefer Mint between these two, personal choice. I tend to prefer Arch based ones, since they have what is called the AUR (Arch user Repo) which allows more complied apps to be downloaded and used on the system.

As I mentioned in another reply, there are ways around that limit. I was very happy when i was able to use RiF again

I like Lemmy since its mostly about Tech but even the small communities over on Reddit can be more engaging then communities over here. I am involved in Trading cards and there just not the same community over here for it

If you are on Android, there are ways around the API thing. I was able to get my favorite Reddit app, RiF (Reddit is Fun) to continue to work after they took away API access.

https://revanced.app/ Can be used with various Apps as it patches them

back when i started with Linux, i would distro hop in the beginning since i was trying out different ones, making mistakes, but taking that knowledge with me onto the next one. Then i discovered Manjaro, then EndeavourOS and have been on it for years now

Have thought about reinstalling EOS once i rebuild my computer, but see how that goes -

Thanks for this! Works pretty well when testing -

Same, Animals is by far my favorite album by them

Just installed via Octopi. Nice design

Not sure if its untrustworthly or not, but switched over to Startpage and been liking the results. Just wished it would implement the !bang system from ddg

I liked and used Deezer until they rebranded. I can’t get over the new look. Switched over to Tidal

Have you looked into OnlyOffice. Nice office suite that saves in MS file extensions. Use it all the tjme
