That’s not true.

The tools someone has has nothing to do with difficulty.

No way you aren’t ragebaiting

you forgot the /s

Secondly they are slowly transitioning everything relevant from the control panel to the settings app.

Emphasis on the “slowly”. It’s been four years!!

I unironically had a friend who hated Linux Mint for awhile because he believed for YEARS you always double click applications in the task bar like you would on your desktop. When he switched he was so furious how apps would crash and/or just not start until I told him “dude… just click it once”

I have no idea how this didn’t happen on Windows or how he never had something open up twice

Never had that issue on my thinkpad, sorry to hear!

Don’t ever tell them about that one quest in BOTW

Unironically, Ecosia has been working on a browser that’s currently in beta with a built in adblocker. Works really well!

my bad, I always assume not just because we’re on the topic of privacy but because of how Ecosia advertises itself as a privacy friendly alternative on their front page when it isn’t that at all that, much like the difference between apple.com/privacy and apple.com/legal/privacy

Your search query, IP address and iirc fingerprint gets shown to Bing everytime you make a search, so it’s not private at all

He’s rightfully displaying his dominance

The article could have easily been just as absurd if it was about how people didn’t get the alert because the alerts were moved to a mastodon instance and people are upset because they don’t want to have to go through the trouble of picking a server. heh.

You can view mastodon posts without being forced to make an account. This use to be the case with Twitter before it was turned into X.

they should at the very least be as accessible as possible for people who help.

They’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember, the link in the amber alert led to a Twitter post that anyone could view. It wasn’t until musk recently making it so you have to make an account in order to see posts which makes me surprised this hasn’t been brought up sooner

Still had cool experiences. I think now a days you can use apps to turn your phone into a makeshift oculus quest and stream to your PC using Steam VR, so somewhat useful I think

Edit: it was a headset where you put your phone inside

Aw man those things were so cool! My dad actually got one of those for me as a gift when I was way younger, I forget for which occasion. Didn’t use it much tho cause later my grandma found out about it and stole it, throwing it away in the garbage. She doesn’t hate me or anything, she was just scared I’d get brain cancer and since nobody in the family ever believes her because of that crap she reads on facebook, that was her way of protecting me. Oh well.

Now, if Google loses, Firefox will likely head of enshitification.

The whole thing is FOSS. if the company goes over the community can still maintain it if they wish to

sadly for me money is that tight right now, so if I can donate via ad revenue I definitely would (or better yet donating my time instead)

I’d seriously love to use Ecosia but that stops me from doing so
