Honestly I’ve really enjoyed Zorin. It’s made life simple when it comes to migrating friends and family to Linux. Specifically the way they handle fonts and scaling in office programs when opening Microsoft files. It’s been easy to get my wife to get off of windows after they started bombarding her with adds on her fuckin desktop screen.

Out in middle of nowhere Ohio, the only options are satellite and I’ll be damned if I’m doing to give Dish or Hughes net more money for worse speeds. Starlink is it until they actually run fiber out here.

Do these raccoon memes have a source? I wish to go there. I want more

Microsoft is hardly one to be involved in this. They’re just as bad in different ways. But. As far as search goes, I think it’s incredibly simple to change search engines but the problem is Google doesn’t give users that choice up front when installing chrome but even if they did most people don’t give a shit and will just use Google anyway.

I use Amazon kindle to have my books synced across everything but I only use a burner Amazon and make sure I have my epubs backed up on a calibre server just in case they kill that account. Never buy digital shit from Amazon especially. They always pull this kind of thing.

Thanks for the info. I’ve got. Sonarr radarr and prowlarr set up with qbitt right now and jellyfin. I’ll have to do some digging this weekend.

Is there any links/guides on how to get into the usenet side of things? I’ve been using torrents forever but people keep saying usenet is safer.

How many drugs have you taken today?

I was maybe 10 hours of work into a small side project and I just said fuck it and started over in Godot. No reason to use Unity unless you are a studio that’s deep into development or supporting a game that’s already out.

I really like Alexandria on desktop and there’s android support on the roadmap on GitHub.

I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it’s because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it’s bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can’t get pulled away from it. Its all about what you’re used to.

Mostly Meet. My family is mostly on android and it comes pre installed and built into the phone app most of the time so it’s really easy to get the older family members to use. I did have to have my Parents download it on their iPhones but they didn’t fight cause video calling the grandchild is important lol.

Artemis doesn’t let you sign in with different instances but as soon as it does I’ll start using it more.

As medicine advances, most diseases or conditions will be diagnosed more often. With the extreme increase in technology in the past 50+ years I wouldn’t say that cancer is being over diagnosed just because we can find it better. While mental health science is arguably far behind traditional medicine, I wouldn’t say that ADHD as a whole is over diagnosed. Is it probable that there are some bad doctors that will simply hand wave kids away with an ADHD diagnosis? Sure but those cases are far less common than you might think. As someone with ADHD I have seen the sentiment that it is over diagnosed arise in my life as people claiming that what I suffer from isn’t real and I need to pay attention better, or that I’m just “abusing the Adderall to get ahead in life.” So no I don’t think it is over diagnosed and people around the world need to have a better understanding of how mental illness truly affects the people that suffer.

I’m not the guy you asked but I do the same thing. In the tailscale dashboard you can set up a default DNS for every device that is connected to your tailnet. They support nextdns and a couple other things. I have mine pointed to my personal adgaurd home server that is within my tailnet and it works great. I used nextdns for a while but didn’t want to pay for it. It also worked great with tailscale.

I can’t be bothered to self host a search engine. I just stick to duck duck go and I’ve tried some whoogle instances but I just prefer ddg at this point.

Currently I have about 20 games installed on the main drive. Granted they’re mostly smaller indie titles and then elden ring and destiny are the only large games I have. Never touched VR and I try to keep my installed games list small just because I like having space when something I’ve been waiting for comes out.

I have never had any issues with this. Every night it goes into rest mode and every day after work everything I have installed that has an update has been updated, even games I haven’t touched in months. The only exception is when games push updates later in the day and the update just gets out when I get off work but that isn’t a console issue and just an inconvenient timing.

This looks really promising for me. Is there any chance of opds support? I couldn’t find anything on the GitHub page.

I’ve noticed that the compact mode doesn’t show ads.
