most accurate portrait

I was just going to say that. On VPN always, Reddit blocks pretty much all of my VPNs IPs, but this is the first time I hear of it happening in any Lemmy instance. I'm on lemmy.ml using NordVPN.

If you want t see Mr. Torvalds questioning this in the video in the link, go straight to minute 43.

Absolutely not. Ever. It does a parity check monthly and then reboots, that's that.

I use Fedora 40 workstation (Gnome) , run everything (Outlook, OneDrive, etc.) on browser, Teams as a FlatPak, and use Only Office for Excel, which I then upload to One Drive.

So far it's all worked like a charm.

That's their problem. I'll handle my kids, fuck the government and fuck those useless parents as well. They should not have had kids.

We see these things differently. I would argue that Matrix clients are better organized than Discord. That said, not only is Discord a privacy nightmare, but ilthe interface is only pseudo-organized at best.

I just have my kids, wife, close friends and in-laws on SimpleX.

Sure, some of them use mainstream stuff as well, but if they want to reach me, that's their only option.

Matrix is a pretty good choice for self-hosted. The reason I don't do it is because I've become lazy lately.

They play mostly on their Linux PCs, but they like to play Horizon on the Playstation, that and Sack Boy.

At the end of the day, Sony is just one more corp trying to get away with mining us all.

Joplin already does a great job for this, at least for notes.

I hope you're right. What I did was let my kids use Linux, whatever distro they wanted, and they have used Windows only at school. I think this is the way to do it, expose this growing generation to good software and keep them away from the enahitified ones, while explaining the importance and joy of privacy.

If we all do that with our kids, the next generation will have less sheep following all the commercial crap out there.

Honest question out of sheer ignorance. Could this, in theory, open doors for an OEM to finally start working on a Linux mobile phone and for devs to spin distros for those phones?

That would make me very happy.
