I think you misread my comment. I never said that you can’t advocate for change. I’m just saying that you can expect everything in another country to immediately change to cater towards your preference.

USA to third world country.

While Japan is in the process of accepting foreigners and learning how to adapt, foreigners should learn about limitations and be ready to not have all their needs met.

I moved to a different country when I was 30, and still live in that country. Not all of my needs and way of life are what they were, but I understand that this country doesn’t operate the same way as my home country and I can either deal with the limitations or go back to my home country.

What if you don’t have mainstream social media? Are they going to believe that you don’t have social media?

Hopefully this causes prices of flights to the US to drop. I (citizen) have to go back to visit family this year.

If you wanna take photos off the iPhone, then you can plug that in select the photos in the photos app, and then use the option to export them to files, and then just select the flash drive as the destination.

Since it’s currently working, I don’t want to make any major changes because, as you know, that will be my fault when something doesn’t work as expected.

So, once it has a problem, I’ll switch it to Linux and a crypto minter as a way to fix it.

Found Geordi!

That is a great question. But, I do not think so, the computer without tpm are just not encrypted at all. I think it is about collecting user data and advertising.

Yeah, I’m thinking it couldn’t be worse than windows is now. It even sometimes will drop wifi connection. So how much worse could Linux be.

My main concern for her is how often she edits documents. Since she gets her pension, she needs to do paperwork for it occasionally, so I don’t want formatting to mess something up for her.

What the hell is wrong with you, it’s obviously Locutus.

I was just looking at that windows 11 list yesterday. My mother-in-law has a 7th gen i3.

She’s not eligible to get windows 11, but her computer works surprisingly quickly. Well it did after I removed 2 different antivirus programs from it.

But it’s fine for what she uses it for “Netflix”, maybe an occasional dock.

No, Microsoft, I’m not buying her a new computer for that. If ever, she’d just get an iPad.

My wife’s in favor of just letting the computer get infected if it gets infected since it’s just a Netflix machine.

I’m not here to debate whether that’s a good idea or not, but I’m here to say that this is what is going to happen for the majority of people.

I’ll probably end up putting Linux Mint on it if the WiFi card will play nice, but I expect that it will.

The post is weird, I wonder if it’s AI spam.

What’s the purpose of this site and why post there instead of here?

Thanks for posting the update. I had a bunch of trouble with that when using arch on my thinkpad.

I later switched to Fedora with plasma as I could not get video acceleration to work in Firefox.

Thanks! I wasn’t even aware of them. I’ll check them out. Too bad they are ending though.

I just try to actively contribute. Especially when I’m debating whether I want to or not.

I don’t really enjoy posting or taking pictures, but I’ve been to around 11 countries and have slowly been uploading to Pixelfed just to contribute to the community.

The day they ask me to scan my face is the day I stop logging in to discord.

That is interesting. I was not aware of that.

I agree with you.

For my personal stuff, I am on Linux 100%.

I tried for a long time to put privacy first and Linux first everywhere. At some point, I realized that I am making my work so much more difficult using all these work arounds.

I am still waiting on a few things to come to Linux, once they do, I can try again. But I will keep using what works best for my work as earning a living needs to come first.

Maybe they saw somewhere that people use it to format text and assumed that has something to do with programming.
