Since the housing market looks like a crowd of people just signing mortgages as fast as possible just to then turn around and charge that mortgage plus a little bit....
Not sure if it would meet your requirements, but if specific enough to your phones current control capabilities; would a shortcut or automation app meet your needs. I seem to remember them being able to prompt for input. It might be a more COTS approach for you depending on your needs.
If that’s the case foxnews would like cut out most of the challenge. I’m not old enough to have adult children yet but I still have a hard time grasping news channels are entertainment venues.
News used to be actual news done by reporters. It had credibility and a degree of respect. This shift has been near impossible for my parents generation
I’m not bothering to dig it back up, but I thought I remember something like it was based on a policy when a verified user changes their logo. The verification was put back once reverified. Stupid, yes, but if policy it makes more sense.
I’m not big on defending Xitter, but IF this is uniformly handled, this is the least of our reasons to get torches and pitchforks after them.
I heard a lot of bad stuff about Brave and their CEO lately and am now unsure if the search engine is any good? Do they censor stuff? Is any data collected? Can it be considered private?...
Must be. I had difficulties with it at one point, and I ended up living at the URL from some search results and was able to figure out what it wanted. I thought the missing slash might have been your issue.
I’ve moved almost completely to Proton Mail. I expect I’ll end up keeping a Google or Outlook account, not for use as a primary account, but as a recovery account or to access other services....
Did this have a use beyond rtf support out of the box? I feel like there’s either “I have to have Word” or “I don’t need to pay for office, Libre office for me!"
Libre office does 98% of what I need the online version of office for the other one offs.
Something like pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun where I can see the popularity of the packages by category, but with many more categories and being able to see which packages are trending....
I used perplexity.ai to get this which gives a couple sources you may want to consider.
According to various sources, including DistroWatch and Tecmint, the most popular Linux distributions in 2023 are: Linux Mint Manjaro Ubuntu Debian Fedora Zorin OS Solus Elementary OS Arch Linux CentOS
Yeah, ChromeOS is a linux distro that boots chrome and is now being officially split into Lacros (Linux and ChromeOS), but honestly, we should be able to make a “distro” that just starts a DE with firefox or chromium as the main window. Extensions could be written that present the filesystem in firefox or chromium and most...
I think this is mostly a US thing. Why use yearly salary? You’re not paid once a year, are you? Most likely once a month. Referencing monthly salary makes much more sense....
I have used SearXNG for a while, but I switched to LibreX after the search engine started glitching. Recently, though, LibreX has stopped returning any results. I am currently on Mojeek, but the results aren’t that great....
Not everything actually requires a GUI, obviously. But anything that requires configuration, especially for controlling a hardware device, should have a fully functional GUI. I know Linux is all about being in control, and users should not be afraid to use the command line, but if you have to learn another bespoke command syntax...
I’m with you. I’m a seasoned newbie, and I’m ok with config as long as I can find something to help me get through it where I’m. It completely lost and the guide isn’t 30 pages of gibberish that only makes sense to someone helping build and maintain the source/branch.
I do love the familiarity of a gui as it lets me be “lazy”.
That said I started on Ubuntu, didn’t really like gnome, tried kububtu, was meh on it. Then got to dislike cannological. I’m currently using mint, and have tried several distros as a vm. Fedora and Debian are 2 I’m trying to understand better.
That said arch and gentoo both seem like distros beyond my skill set, and I think I’d struggle with them as I don’t feel like the communities align with my needs. I feel like I should get better at stripping out what I don’t need in my distro before I start bare and build up finding only what I need.
The cool part of Linux is it’s kinda hard to go wrong with the choice as a platform. Picking the distro has been a harder choice to find what community aligns to my needs. So virtualbox, ‘kinda’ to the rescue.
I know a lot of people have big dreams for the future but personally I just wish we get more things that are self-cleaning. Imagine not having to make the bed. Imagine clothes that you only need to clean once a month. I hate that so much of adult life is spent cleaning over and over again, and that even when you deep clean you...
I just try to buy clothes that can take the abuse. Once the bright colors get washed a few times, everything goes in together. Whites get bleached in their own cycle on occasion. It’s worked out goods enough.
This just isn’t where I’m willing to dedicate my time and energy.
Cleaning has always been a good enough type activity… I try to hold back a bit, or I’d be on everything with a tooth brush getting it perfect.
I feel like there should be a difference between "rent" and "mortgage rent"
