Linux Mint. Yes, it’s not that interesting, but as many others point out, it just works. Both on my laptop and desktop pc. No issues for over two years.

then they will start downloading new apps that you might be interested in automatically

you can guarantee it, by feeding it only information without weapon information. The information they use, is just scraping every single piece of data from the internet.

nu. The people decide in this. We cant keep making new rules for the shit they come up with. I care. Thus i use firefox on linux with an open search. The people are stupid. Thats the problem. They want this comfort, they pay for it.

idk sounds a bit sus

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code is not the same thing at all 😂

“HERE we go” has that. Although i dont think its open source, its probably miles better than google.

dont use parental controls. Its fake, doesnt make sense, and limits learn oportunities. Any Linux works out. Linux Mint works great

*windows users trying to navigate in three different styled setting layouts

what i use for annoying apps i kinda need: use karma FW. It basically routes all your phones traffic through itself and you can block apps to not use internet at all. Having it set up as always on works best.

What your talking about is rate limiting. And pretty much every social media already does that. The issue with adding requirements like phone number etc, is that it also makes it more difficult and annoying for regular users. Besides, bot account owners litteraly have large amounts of fake valid mobile phone numbers they can use to “verify” their bot accounts. Then they also use change their ip addresses, so rate limiting can’t be enforced. Instagram also has a massive bot issue, but its just an endless amount of bot accounts, not just one that is spamming all over the place.

Adding a fake 10 second delay would stop absolutely nothing and make the experience even worse for regular users.

what would an artificial delay do? Litteraly nothing. Also they can scan posts after they have been uploaded. And a scan shouldnt take even a second.

does the attacking country ever care about the lagality of an attack?

i dont think ipads are the best. Samsungs tablets since the tab s7 do great. Have it for four years now heavily in use in school and university. Sideloading all the shit i want.

then again, theres no reason to buy apple in the first place. so why does this even matter

There needs to be more laws and regulations. In this system, companies will use every legal way to make as much money as possible. This is especially true for public companies.

naw. You mean all the secretaries would loose their office job

well kinda feel sorry for ya that your job requires excel or any of that office trash. Obviously doesnt work out for you then.

I run mint for some years on desktop and about a year on laptop now. I dont have any issues on either and it just feels good booting into them. I never once had the urge or need to go back to windows. And i think this is true for many people.

And the terminal is just sth thats at its core. If you dont want to learn it then a system like that isnt for you. In all reality, if one learns its, it is much easier than using three different windows setting interfaces with bloat popping up everywhere. Installing software in linux easy. In windows navigate through twenty ads or visit a poor store.

Or windows having a mix of consoles/powershells and more shit nowadays with different command namings. In Linux. Its just sinple terminal. Not to mention command prompt and its siblings taking four+ seconds to open on a new decent windows pc. Wtf?

imo windows bloat makes it unusable. The skill required to learn terminal basics is far smaller than learning all that windows shit.

Linux mint still going fresh as every day.
