After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.
Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!
As someone who checks comments to see if it’s worth my time to read the source, thank you for your service. And also as someone who checks primary sources, curse me for caring, I shall look because I commented…
Ah, yes, bad phrasing on my part which assumed knowledge. The OS is immutable, but those three are mutable. I should also have pointed out it’s prudent to spin up a new user if switching between Gnome and KDE due to dot file overlap, I’d be unsurprised if that applies to other DEs/WMs…
I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...
That’s deeply disturbing, what else could be hiding next to it? I sort of hope it’s somehow being installed by your phone company, as bad as that is, the alternative is worse!
So, the point here is to degoogle, yet you need certain apps that require google services.
What I and many others do is have a clean (i.e. no google services) main profile and a dirty (has google services) secondary profile. Put your needed apps in the secondary, live in main, and it’s two swipes and a tap to get to your apps in secondary. Best of both worlds. Over time find replacements that work in your main, congratulations, you’re now degoogled on your phone.
The title says it all, I’d like to switch my operating system and preserve most of my files. Any other info I should know before the move would be nice as well.
Like the login screen. You can’t change that at all, whether it’s the background or the default zoom level, it’s part of the system packages and can’t be fixed.

Yes, llama.cpp and derivates, stable diffusion, they also run on ROCm. LLM fine-tuning is CUDA as well, ROCm implementations not so much for this, but coming along.
I see nothing reputable after a cursory search, but I did find “The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man’s.” - Mark Twain which I choose to believe, and now I want to train a LLM on his corpus and have it on voice recognition. ‘Hey Sam, what do ya think of this’ is likely to provide hours of amusement, thanks for the diversion.
For the past few years, a growing number of users, analysts, and experts raised alarms about a truth that feels obvious to a lot of people who surf around in web browsers: the quality of Google results is in serious decline. Google disagrees.
same, just being able to blacklist content farms I dislike is worth the price (standing up a container) of admission, but there’s plenty more good things.
I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Not sure what kind of experience anyone else is having with YouTube, but recently my home page has been empty because I “don’t have watch history turned on”. Okay, fine. I won’t be able to browse suggested videos, and I’ll spend less time on their platform....
