Sigh
Here’s what I consider to be a solid summary of the situation.

You can also install wallpaper plugins from the KDE store for your lock screen background. I’m a fan of City Grow.

Sunshine/Moonlight works well for me also.

I have an 8 year old Acer aspire and it works great for coding. I’ve learned a lot about both of those languages with zero worries and recently moved the OS over to nix with excellent results.

Providing this statement is hardly doubling down and if anything moves in the other direction. Hiring a legit firm with a reputation of its own to defend is by all accounts the right thing to do, particularly after all the other fumbles that took place. Was waiting for an investigatory body to come along and do the legwork for free the more sensible option? No one was silenced here, and these allegations were made without proof. I tend to believe others, but this cuts both ways.

I’d say that laying your own experiences out as germane is gross, but then I do appreciate those strong biases being highlighted. For my own part I’d have rather not defended a media outlet that I do not care for.

Well, I’ve got good news, you can do both at the same time with the patented cyber-bullet! When it implants, it implants 100 percent of the time.

Unfortunately, no, I assign one monitor that stays asleep unless I intentionally wake it. Most of my use case these days is streaming my desktop remotely over wireguard. Good luck tinkering!

He’s gone from suck to blow.

I run a SearXNG instance myself and while it is a fine aggregator, it’s important to note what it is and isn’t. For instance, Sear does not have a dedicated search index and leans on third party API calls (to indexes such as the aforementioned Google and DDG listings.) This is my understanding, feel free to correct it.

For my money, I like the anonymity that Sear can afford and that it hides the AI bullshit pouring into the UIs. My son and I were talking over the weekend about how unreliable he is finding the move to AI search.

Edit: A list of public SearXNG instances for anyone that doesn’t want to spin up their own.

I use kde connect and/or sunshine myself.

Not for a while now, I continued to use it after switching to AMD. It’s regularly being updated, give it a try.

I’ve got a case of the same sads. Went ahead and wish listed it just in case.

If you haven’t seen the VR remake, take a look here.

Tasker does this on android and the event can be chained to launch scripts and apps.

Consideration is required; it’s much easier to be a knee-jerk contrarian one supposes.

I also care that whatever company I work for moves to take corrective action as well. This isn’t at all difficult to think through.

People with jobs.

Awesome info in this thread, thanks!

Thanks for this.

I’ve given up concerning myself with what others think and went with a coral (pink) phone this go-around. While this probably won’t pertain to your bro, it nicely sidesteps the issue.
