I just wish they updated OSM data quicker; I’ve done updates that still aren’t represented.

If you’re on Android (not sure if iOS has an equivalent app), one of the easiest things you can do is download Street Complete and take 15 minutes a day to use it in order to fill in information about your neighborhood.

Keep in mind, even IF something could be done by GUI, if you ask for help, 95% of the replies are immediately going to tell you to open CLI…

To be fair, you’d find that with Windows too; someone telling you to run some command in Powershell or the prompt (even Start > Run).

On Linux Mint, most updates and backups can be automated; installing ClamTK from Software Manager can be automated; the Software Manager, itself, is a GUI.

The terminal is helpful but required? Not really.

Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren’t at the behest of US Bsky.

If media companies make it impossible to buy and own content, then pirating is not unethical.

Debian; comes on Linux or on a tiny blue pill.

I think I was about 16 1/2? We did night time (?) Drivers Ed classes in my high school with my geography or history teacher (he was awesome) and then we had road experience with a local drivers ed instructor.

I remember when it came time to do the road test, he actually took us through the actual course first so we were prepared and then during the actual test I got “warned” about being a little too far into the road turning at an intersection to go back to the RMV but the instructor I had backed me up because I had to go due to the other person turning the other way so I could see around him.

Honestly, nothing wrong with not having a license. I hate driving, to be honest. If you can get places without cars (or at least without driving your own, more power!)

Depends on what type of incident; if it’s something like noise in the hall or smoking, my apartment management handles it and lets people know (assuming it’s warning territory).

I’d imagine for anything else, it’s a matter of not wanting to endanger people through escalation of non authority figures. I think you would have to have just cause to evict people, so having an official investigation would be imperitive.

So it’s less a Siri upgrade and more just a getting rid of Siri and putting in Gemini slop.

Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

Good news; I found an outfit with pockets.

Bad news; it’s a romper.

Wait’ll you find out that over half the states in the US have age gating laws on the internet.

Don’t praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.

Lawnchair Nightly; it’s not as good as Nova, yet, but it’s getting there.

Adguard won’t work but uBlock Origin on Librewolf or Firefox works with at least the EasyList subscription (possibly Peter Lowe’s too). You can also use either the built in tracker in Vivaldi (just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Sources) and enable EasyList/disable the Allow ads from our partners).

Vivaldi also supports MV2 uBlock Origin for now; it will say it’s not supported but Vivaldi is fighting the removal of MV2).

I’ve had a good mix of filters and haven’t gotten the adblock warning for Youtube (knock on wood). It’s been a while since configuring but I think enabling Disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests and I’m an advanced user will help out.

I have all the uBlock Filters, EasyList, AdGuard, AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection, Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, Phishing URL Blocklist

Happily.

This reminded me to donate to Wikipedia.

You could always just install Linux Mint and then install the Mint XP theme. No Microsoft Account required.

We just need an Old Piefed theme. :)
