Let's Go 2 the Mall! ❌👑

I switched to Linux Mint when they retired Win7. Never going back.

I wasn’t aware of this. I’ll check out comaps. Thanks!

I downloaded it. I also use Organic Maps. It uses Open Street Map data. Doesn’t have lake names but still lists “Gulf of Mexico”. google can get bent.

paywalled. also, this is a good way to kill the internet. when everyone starts getting doxxed, all that will be left are the bots.

lol, no.

yeah are there any big tech companies that aren’t full of authoritarian shit bags?

I made https://lite.duckduckgo.com/ my homepage. No AI and super fast loading. AI would be fine if it was opt-in. Shoving it into everything to see what works just makes people hate it. Looking at you MS.

we use o365 for work. I enjoyed the quiet time. Thanks for screwing up, MS!

lol, no.

depends on the camera. I just ordered 2 new wifi cameras that do not have local access. app via internet only. So I’m sending them back. That said, amcrest does make some good cheapo cameras.

just deleted my account. AI is going to burn everything down. I knew the world would be destroyed by greedy pricks but I didn’t expect them to be such losers.

waterfox, pale moon, ironfox. there’s your multiple models.

haha, no.

I’ve had mine probably 5-6 years and I mostly forget about it. I probably update it once a year. It really is a set it and forget it piece of kit.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw an ad. pi-hole + ublock origin. Never see them at all.

haha, I paid $150 for my mattress and $200 for the frame. I slept like a baby during the outage. Bunch of “tech” suckers.

idk if they have an rss or not. I always click the what’s new link when they push an upgrade.

pretty easy to just remove it as an option. settings/search/ scroll down to list of search engines, click perplexity, click remove. If enough people do this, maybe they will get the hint.

remember when Tim Apple gifted tRump a golden statue? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I’ve been around the block with linux. I’m no expert but I have used it since the 90’s off and on. And I always go back to Mint. It’s by far the best out of the box. Easy to set up and very intuitive. The only thing I’ve ever had to configure after the install, is sometimes I have to use a proprietary video driver (not hard to change). My Dell 2in1 will not go into tablet mode with the open drivers. You can test drive it from a USB stick before committing to it.
