Puppy has saved my ass multiple times. Love that tiny dog.

Speaking of Tails, a security minded user can also try out Qubes as well. It uses virtualization to separate different contexts like Work, Personal, Social, etc. You can have your Work profile connect to your workplace VPN while your Personal profile is on a torified connection in parallel. It does have its drawbacks, however. You need more system resources, and anything that requires direct access to GPU like videogames is not officially supported.

So we’ll have to say GNU/Linux/SystemD soon?

No problems running on the AMD graphics?

I’ve made the switch over a decade ago. Ubuntu was the gateway drug. I have to use windows at work, but that’s it.

I’m guessing there’s a reduced pool of desktop pc users, thus Linux users are now slightly bigger in proportion? There has been big advances regarding Linux adoption, too.

Social pressure is a real thing. I wonder just how many people in the US have iphones because of that dumb blue-green bubble stuff.

Similar here. I have switched to xfce after struggling with gnome and kde.

Linkedin is a cesspool and nothing but a dumpster fire. I wish I wasn’t pressured to joining it for job searches.

I used Opera when it used Presto instead of becoming a yet another chromium. I miss that one.

So it’s somewhere between Open-Closed:

• open signup (no invite required), instant availability
• open signup (no invite required), manual approval required
• closed signup (invite required)

Domain hacking is fun, but politics isn’t fun. Bit.ly got taken over by the Libyan government agency, FMHY.ml also had to start over after Malian government stopped Freenom from giving out free domains.

iddqd was a well known cheat code from the era, not exactly obscure if not contemporary.

And to think, the Q removed started on these sites.

There shouldn’t be, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be enhanced. Hopefully a popular feature from an extension can become integrated into official web clients.

It means many people are using lemmy.world instance to view your post instead of lemmy.zip or feddit.ro.

Oh, memories. I was still in college.

I wonder if such a platform will gain acceptance beyond “nerdy techies” like us. There could be a working platform with apps and all, but if the suits find it “not professional enough”…

Just a thought. Some might need finer details vs block whatever its marked NSFW.

It reads like one of those 4chan pranks actually gaining followers.
