True but it helps get the concept across so much.

I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.

It depends. Some Software patent holders have been known to die way earlier.

Seriously. Way too many open source projects have bad names. In jokes, oh so clever world plays, programmer humor recursive names and just silly sounding or impossible to pronounce stuff everywhere.

Thanks for answering. That was after me first trying out Linux and before me returning to Linux.

That’s some bullshit but damn does the Linux community hold grudges like they always have.

Thanks for the reply! Amazon stuff? I’m so out of the loop it seems.

Hey I haven’t heard of this.

So this is mint based on Debian directly instead of ubuntu?

Would this work to send files to my iPad from my Linux desktop? Because I’m still looking for a good way to do this.

KDE connect on iOS doesn’t yet have the file transfer feature completed. I was surprised by that when I was looking for a good way to airdrop from my desktop Linux to my work iPad.

Im in that situation but instead of stubbornly refusing she just does not want to invest the times or effort into privacy. But she was cool with me doing a few things like changing her to different mail providers, changing her browser to firefox and installing a few add-ons that help without being intrusive. But other than that she doesn’t really care enough. She uses Instagram and all those apps and I won’t try convince her. It is her life and her decision.

However the topic has a different tone when it comes to our kids. We discussed this before having kids and agreed on rules we both are okay with. Things like no pics on social media or WhatsApp of any of them. Or which apps they get to use at what age etc. Luckily when it comes to them my wife is more willing to invest time and effort into privacy.

Government communication as well as business communication will by exempt of course.

My bushit bingo sheet is filled out right now.

I’m using a sponsor skipper that is crowd sourced. Every user of the extension can flag an ad in a video.

The recent EU law drafts I’ve seen so far have exceptions for businesses, government employees and basically everyone except the normal private person.

I guess in many countries founding something like an LLC is pretty damn cheap so I guess we’ll all be businesses soon.

Yep same. I use it only got messaging in groups and private. Everything just works as I expect. Nothing to report.

One of the issues is here in Germany we basically got a monopoly. The Schufa is so omnipresent I used to think it was lead by the government. You cannot open a bank account in Germany without giving your data to them. You almost cannot rent or buy anything on credit without their credit score. Yet they are a private profit driven company which doesn’t even tell how the score is calculated. And which is proven to not follow some laws. But noone does anything. Boggles the mind.

Ah Humor based on Humor based on my pain.

Nvidia User? It happens to me too every so often on kernel updates. I usually just tell grub to boot the old Kernel Version for a few days until driver updates etc. come in. Then everything is back to working again with the newest kernel.

This release seems really solid. Good timing to hit a lot of good software releases. Makes me want to finally try out Debian. I’m a big fan of ‘it just works’ experiences if possible so I might be the target audience.

But I’m very happy with Fedora for quite a while now. I’m still amazed how stable it is even with very frequent updates as well as very current software overall. So it would just be switching for the sake of doing it and I try not to do that anymore.
