daredevil

I feel like I've heard attempts at this from over a decade ago... doubting I'll see this within my lifetime at this point.

Mods seem to be fairly inactive as well. Pretty unfortunate.

I could not imagine life without a desktop tbh.

Can't wait to see what other ways these companies gamify farming personal data.

AMD has served me well since I've started actively using Linux.

Though I enjoy and am currently using #LinuxMint, I wish I learned about #Wayland sooner. I didn't understand why game performance felt so off with my dual monitor setup for several months. I have since dabbled with an #Ubuntu #Gnome DE for some gaming, and Wayland support has alleviated those problems. However, I plan to look into other options when I've organized my data a bit more and establish proper backups. Learning #Bash, #scripting, #aliases, #workspaces and tweaking #hotkeys were also useful for making my workflow into what it is. Also, I wish I knew how bad #ProtonVPN and #ProtonDrive #Linux support would be. Despite getting used to their #CLI applications, the absence of feature parity is immensely disappointing.

I will be cancelling my Proton Plus subscription due to the lack of feature parity on their Linux apps. For a privacy-respecting service provider, it's a shame Linux is so low on their priorities and so far behind in development. If you're on Linux, I would advise to steer clear until they actually focus on the quality of their services they have established instead of pushing out half-baked products.

Cheers, I got my own lab up and running earlier this year as well.

I have my gripes with Google, but their screen calling feature is very handy.

Copy/pasted from a previous response I wrote regarding this topic. I hope it helps:

When you follow a given account on #Mastodon with your #kbin account, posts from that account will be #federated here. If they use #hashtags, then posts they write will be federated into #magazines here based on permitted tags chosen by magazine moderators which show up in the #microblogging section of a magazine. AFAIK, posts that don't get sorted into a particular magazine will be sent to @random. In order to search for magazines/communities, you can enter linux@lemmy.world into the search bar for example.

Attached below is some helpful information.

I liked the name #kbin more than #lemmy, and the integration of #microblogging is a feature I appreciate. IME, lemmy also tends to attract more memes and shitposts, which generally turn me off.

Been interested in #Linux, #Bash, and #Vim lately. I've been developing a casual interest in cyber-security and data privacy as well.

I like Linux because: it's free, I have more control, it runs really smoothly across several of my devices, the communities have been fascinating, and there's a lot to learn.

Bash has been helpful for doing some light file management. I'm no expert or anything, I've just enjoyed organizing my stuff better lately. Speaking of Bash, I really like the #CLI. I've even started accidentally using #terminal commands while using my web browser.

As tech evolves, our data and information becomes more accessible to ourselves and the people around us. I think it's a bit concerning at times the extent and accuracy that corporations can harvest info. I've been gradually adopting better practices for privacy/security, but within reason.
