Fedora KDE, Kinoite, or Nobara could all be of interest to you

I think the T480 is a great deal but be aware of the Thunderbolt firmware issues. It’s fixable if the firmware is not yet fully corrupted and if the firmware is up to date it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m dealing with a dead thunderbolt chip on mine right now and it’s terrible

Don’t tell people how to use their computers u lame

Yes, early 20s USA. Learned at 18 and drove manual every day until I sold my last car in November

Agreed, have you tried Dearrow? It’s from the person who created SponsorBlock and is a crowdsourced way to get rid of the clickbait

Such a huge step to finally ridding ourselves of that garbage proprietary driver stack. There’s still so much work to do but hats off to the team!

When I smoked I’d use an air purifier, with a window open and fan running, as well as using a sploof (slang for this might be different where ur from) and sometimes burning a candle. All those combined and being sure to dispose of your ash quickly should reduce the smell. Your best option is a dry herb vape though, and that’s better for your health too

Sugar alternatives like allulose and monkfruit have been making my life so much better recently. A little more pricey than sugar, but so much better for you and allows me to keep enjoying a sweet cup of tea in the morning without any of the downsides

I use uYou+ through AltStore

I completely agree, but don’t forget that WebKit exists too on Mac and Linux with about the same market share as Firefox (at least based on w3school’s stats). Chrome/Blink dominate but all hope is not lost and there are more options, they’re just small. I think focusing on embracing Firefox/Gecko as it has so much momentum and community already is the most productive way forward though

Capitalism is a socioeconomic system in which private individuals (capitalists) own the means of production and employ others to work them. The employer exploits the employed through wage labor, a system in which the surplus value of a laborer is taken as profit for the capitalist. Capitalism is often characterized by market relations and generalized commodity production, but there are always exceptions as in any system.

It’s true, I’m somebody who has run DIY distros daily for years and decided to try out Debian on a spare computer recently. I couldn’t even update the system after the initial install. It took me like forty minutes to find a thread which explained to me that Debian 12 has a bug with some raspi firmware that requires you to delete three files before apt will work, and there is 0 indication on the paths themselves, just people who have figured it out and were generous enough to share the knowledge. You can’t blame new users for those things, we as a community need to improve the software and the attitudes

I wear one every day with only a few exceptions (lab work for university where it’s impractical and I’m only around a few people anyway). I have seen the effects of long Covid on my loved ones, and i want nothing to do with that. Still haven’t caught COVID this far in, and while I think my vaccinations have been effective it makes me uncomfortable that we aren’t continuing to boost and that most people haven’t had a fresh vaccine in a few years at this point. Waning efficacy is a real thing and many never got boosted at all

Google pay might work to look at your cards or something, but if you try to pay for something with your phone you’ll find that the tap-to-pay is disabled because of Google’s safety net bs.

Disgusting imperialist provocation

E: Downvote me all you want bootlickers, it doesn’t make it any less true

Flatpak is fantastic. I think containerization is definitely the future of Linux app distribution, because the security and portability are so much better than native packages. Flatpak is the best implementation of this concept IMO, because it has a robust permission management system, is completely open unlike snap, and is performant with fast load times, solid deduplication of dependencies, and no garbage loopback devices
