Blisterexe,

Seems like all that will change is the fact that all profits made will be reinvested in the company, im not an expert though, so i may be wrong

Blisterexe,

What? Why?

Blisterexe,

Hardware support is perfect on linux and they allow you to buy it without paying for a windows liscence

Blisterexe,

Do you not degoogle your android?

Blisterexe,

Openstreetmaps data is very good, and several degoogled custom roms support android auto (/e/os comes to mind) and the paid version of osmand has android auto support, the free version of the (inferior)agic earth does too

Blisterexe,

You may want to try oit magic earth or organic maps, although i personally dont like them as much

Blisterexe,

He called a liscence that doesnt allow redistribution that changes the donation link or copying the branding “open source”, which it is it’s just a bit more restrictive

NewsBreak: Most downloaded US news app has Chinese roots and 'writes fiction' using AI (www.reuters.com)

Last Christmas Eve, NewsBreak, a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States, published an alarming piece about a small town shooting. It was headlined “Christmas Day Tragedy Strikes Bridgeton, New Jersey Amid Rising Gun Violence in Small Towns.”...

Blisterexe,

Its for blind people, it let’s them know what is in images using a screen reader, just because it doesn’t apply to you doesn’t mean it’s useless

Blisterexe,

The difference is that those apps are taken charge of by the mint team

Blisterexe,

Oh, alright i was wrong, but it’s still direct from Spotify isn’t it? So no problem

Blisterexe,

Ok yes it is proprietary, but at least it’s from the main source and is confirmed to work well, which reduces risk, at the cost of sandboxing.

it’s a tradeoff, and I think mint did the right thing.

Blisterexe,

This isn’t about just Spotify, it’s about other apps too

Blisterexe,

if you switch to protonmail itll foward emails from your gmail to proton, then you can slowly move stuff over

Blisterexe,

Idk I don’t have a calendar, but I hear nextcloud is great for that

Blisterexe, (edited )

I use immich personally, super easy to use and very fast, even on the shitty old laptop I use.

Edit: the shitty old laptop is hosting the server

Blisterexe,

I now use Firefox, brave search, protonmail and immich

Blisterexe,

Not op but I moved to proton mail, tutanota seems good too

Blisterexe,

you should try aurora store for google play and osmand for google maps

Blisterexe,

It does that automatically

Blisterexe,

Why are you trying to install arch, it is not a noob-friendly distro

Blisterexe,

I think the second format also allows for specifying the timestamp, so you can link to a certain point in the video

Blisterexe,

Ah nvm then, idk either

Blisterexe,

I hate Al art, it’s getting everywhere

(/s)

Blisterexe,

I use bitwarden’s new 2fa app and it works, no issues

Blisterexe,

Other than Google pay or getting a card from a bank that offers that in their mobile app there isn’t a way afaik

Blisterexe,

Apparently you can make it work, not that I would

Blisterexe,

The issue for me is that most games I buy are way cheaper, (because of steam sales) and the games I enjoy are rarely on gamepass. So I’d be barely saving money and be playing worse games.

Also its not available on Linux so there’s that

Blisterexe,

The P series of thinkpad or framework 16 are as close as I’d say you could probably get

Blisterexe,

Note: much of the benefits and downsides of gtk4 you mentioned are actually libadwaitas up and downsides.

Blisterexe,

Congrats, I’d recommend Linux mint. Feel free to DM me/reply to this comment if you have any questions

Blisterexe,

There’s a lot of work going into nvidia on linux ATM, so its improving pretty fast, but Also you can get a faster amd GPU with the money you can get from selling your 2080 ti

Blisterexe,

awesome! By the way they are gonna do an overhaul of the ui on popos, look up “pop_os cosmic”

Blisterexe,

There is Microsoft’s suite available on mobile, and there is also onlyoffice, which is FOSS

Blisterexe,

If you need extra help for mint feel free to DM me
