Step 1. Don’t.
If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.
Step 1. Don’t.
Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.
Copy the file and paste it into anywhere you can enter text… you get the path to the file as text.
I see one sponsor link, no other ads.
Choose your browser extensions, choose your browsing experience.
And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?
Brave essentially has done this all along.
I am Spez’s raging bile duct.
I do exactly this with a SteamDeck and USB-C docking station… with the added bonus that I can pull it out of the dock and take it with me to use as a hand-held when I travel.
New computers are the ones more likely to fail.
You are unlikely to find a new non-smart TV… the TV manufacturers get kickbacks from the streaming services for bundling their apps.
If you did find one, it would be more expensive than the dumb TV because you don’t have a bunch of streaming services subsidizing the price of the TV for you.
A computer monitor may work for you, or just buy a smart TV and never connect it to a network. You should be able to set it to automatically start up on the last-used input so you never see the built-in UI.
Here’s an idea… stop giving your money to companies that don’t want you as a customer.
You were using a niche distro maintained by a single person and encountered problems? Shocking.
To be fair, I used Nobara myself for a bit until I got tired of suffering from the problems GE was creating himself. But regardless, experience on something like Nobara is not a fair way to evaluate Gnome. Try it on actual Fedora or something else mainstream that isn’t constantly fuckering around with all kinds of shit and breaking stuff.
Who could have possibly predicted that?
Apparently I either already did this so many years ago that I don’t remember doing it, or my account is so old (2006) that it predates these settings being added and they defaulted to “off” when added to existing accounts.
I really want to switch to Linux as my main gaming/production OS but need the Adobe suite
That’s not a hurdle… that’s a wall.
If your livelihood depends on running a Windows-only application, run it on a Windows computer.
You are, of course, free to also have a Linux computer for everything else. Use a KVM switch to toggle between them, or something like Synergy or Barrier to pass the mouse/keyboard/clipboard between both PCS. Share the storage between them over your network.
I just disable all that.
If I’m opening the Google app, it’s because I want to search for something. If I’m searching for something, I’m busy right now and don’t appreciate Google trying to distract me with other irrelevant crap.
Choose your network provider more carefully.
I miss hanging out at bookstores, with comfortable seating areas and coffee shops and maybe a quiet musician on weekends… met some really smart and educated people that way.
I recently wandered into an old Borders like that where I used to spend a lot of time years ago, which is now a Books-a-Million. It was like being in a K-Mart. Dirty, dimly-lit, product stacked randomly everywhere (including just left on stocking carts abandoned in the aisles), hot because they had the A/C set to barely run at all (everyone inside was sweating), all seating gone, the kitchen area just ripped out and bare plumbing left exposed, with hardly any staff or customers in there at all. The book selection was gutted down to be mostly romance, horror, manga and self-help. I guess that’s what the few people still coming in buy.
It was pretty depressing.

X1 for ultra portability.
Otherwise, T14 or T15.
