That must be why mobile and discriminating populations choose to move to China.

Never give up the domain. I’ve let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.

I’n using Elementary OS right now. It’s been my daily driver for several years on a low powered laptop as a Chromebook replacement. I run browser, messaging, and occasionally some light photo or audio editing.
No complaints. Works great. Solid. Looks great. If you have a similar use case, I recommend it. All of the people ITT talking about what’s wrong with it have not changed my mind that it’s just what I need.
I hear Americans eat babies too. I’m not even sure they are human, right?
I’m sure people get annoyed or ignore you because you’re just too truthful, not because you’re ridiculous.
I don’t think Windows is seamless either. It’s just what most people are used to.
This. I’ve never used Windows 11. Apparently, they are removing the Control Panel. If I can’t figure out how to fix a problem that comes up, I’m going to have to search for the answer and test out solutions. This is no different from Linux.
I like how on Amazon, the “Rufus” thing always pops up over the stuff I’m trying to read.
“How can I turn off rufus” didn’t come up with anything except how to turn it off in the app, not on the website.
I had to use Ublock Origin to select and block it.
I think you misread that. This poster’s experience isn’t from 2016. They installed a program called “Outlook 2016” recently.
SmartTube is back up this morning after an update.
Interesting. I’m running it on a Celeron N4020 with 4GB RAM right now. This system was allegedly shitty in 2019.
I replaced my Chromebook with Elementary OS. On it’s face, it’s a lightweight, web browsing OS with a limited “App Center” of approved apps (similar to ChromeOS), but underneath, it is a Debian-based distro that you can do anything you want with.
This just in: Google suddently discontinues support for popular and profitable ad blocker blocker blocker blocker, because literally all they know how to do is kill things that work.
Spreadsheets are life. I think in spreadsheets. I hope it comes soon.
M as in Mancy?
If you use Debian-based linux (Ubuntu, Minut, others), Mozilla recommends getting the package directly from their respository rather than flatpak or other repos.
Personally, I saw a major performance increase on my low-powered laptop when I switched from flatpak to the Mozilla package.
Dell Latitude 5000 series are usually bought by corporations for employees. They are made of sturdy metal, and have features like backlit keyboards and physical trackpad buttons. Then, after 2-3 years, or if they have some minor problem, they end up in a giant stack that either never gets diagnosed, or just gets sent to recycling.
I have had fantastic luck getting a couple of these either direct from the company I’m working for, or from ebay or a company that recycles laptops. They usually don’t actually have a problem, and if they do, parts are readily available on ebay. You can end up with a high-spec laptop from just a few years ago for practically nothing.
I work for a company that does marketing, and they are seriously struggling right now because TV and Social media ads are getting more expensive, while at the same time becoming less effective.
Yes. This is true.
Because ads suck and people hate them. Whats the new way? Be good at what you do so people talk about your brand. Show up in searches when I’m looking for you. That’s it.
Oh good. Because if there’s a profile of my advertising preferences out there, it knows that when I am forced to view an ad, I look away from the screen, turn off the volume, sigh dramatically, and say “Fuck <this product> right in the ass.”
Personalize away.
I quit smoking and got on the nicotine lozenges. I was eating a bunch of lozenges, almost constantly. Then I started kinda smoking again, but didn’t stop the lozenges. Then I had a stroke which left me with a permanent disability, likely partially caused by wild blood pressure swings due to high levels of nicotine.
I quit by default after 3 weeks in a rehab center. The lesson here is… quit before the hospital. It’s worth it.
It’s not just a breach you have to worry about. Credit agencies actively monetize your financial data by selling it to anyone who wants it. You didn’t give it to them, you didn’t authorize it, they collect it and they sell it.
