I don’t trust them they’ve stolen money from me before
Same. They stole a small amount (~10 USD), but at that time that was 2-3 days worth of groceries where I live (which would have helped a lot)

I started with Puppy Linux because I wanted to try Linux, and my 350MHz Celeron with 160MB of RAM and 4GB of disk space (of which I had around 1GB free) wasn’t enough to run neither any flavor of the major distros, nor any remotely recent version of Windows that wasn’t XP stripped down to the bare minimum, and even that ran like shit. This was around 2008.
After being able to afford a more recent machine (3GHz Intel something Dual Core, with 4GB of RAM and 500GB HDD), I switched to vanilla Ubuntu, with its Unity DE, then Xfce4.
I’ve been using the LUbuntu flavor (LXDE) since it is more lightweight than the alternatives. Don’t really care about bells and whistles now, just a functional and fast desktop.
My most recent laptop is dead now, tho, and I don’t see myself getting anything soon :(


To be fair, 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.30000000000000004


My feed rn:

Same, except WhatsApp instead of FB Messenger. I had no results trying to convince my family and friends to use other stuff


One common trick that I occasionally do for friends and pages I follow, and that seems to work, is to unfollow and re-follow.
Others suggest not using “bad” reactions like Angry and Sad on posts from accounts you want to keep seeing, and use Wow instead (that doesn’t help given I follow some LGBTQIA+/feminist/leftist pages reporting the clusterfuck that is most of the world)
Nobody does 😔
…panish Inquisition


Don’t Be Evil


That, and that practically all courses that taught (teach?) how to use a computer, use Windows, MS Office, and other Windows-based software.
There was some nonprofit (I think it was One Laptop Per Child) that gave laptops with Linux preinstalled, Sugar for elementary school students and I think Ubuntu for highschool students.
My youngest niece at least knows her way around Ubuntu.


Hey guys, did you know?


IRC is still alive and well. I still use it to hang around when I’m using my tablet with Termux+weechat, and some projects are stubborn about not abandoning IRC.


Haha! I was thinking the same. Saw someone post ads for wireless headphone straps, so it’s a matter of time before techbros reinvent phones, but worse.


Why you think the net was born? 🎶


Ah, curious, eh? :P
Its name is Chimera Recollect.
I’m using Fennec (based on Firefox, sans telemetry). Is there a good, reliable, and trustable way to export my bookmarks so I don’t have to depend on Firefox Sync?
Edit: forgot to say: on Android.


I recently used Gemini just for fun, to help me find an old Android game that’s not on Google Play anymore. It was literally useless even though I described the game with a lot of details.
DuckDuckGo’d some details and 10 seconds later I was playing the game.


My mother doesn’t use Instagram, but she’s been getting videos on Facebook of people in shootouts/duels/armed robberies/etc, apparently from a brazilian (or at least Portuguese speaking) page, usually ending with someone dead.


Kinda unwieldy to use when I’m out tho
