My brother-in-law installed Linux Mint for his parents and they are very happy with it. The only problem was downloading epubs with Adobe DRM, so I taught her how to use knock¹ in the terminal and then import the book into Calibre to upload them to her ereader.

Why should my computer not be able to supprot Windows 11?

Nice!

I work at a very small company, so there is no policy for which software to use and I would replace the one software that is Windows only if I could, even if I had to remain on Windows. The problem I have in this case is that we rely external tools that only work with this software, only on Windows. :-(

I get your point. I would asume that those who chose to remove adware and remove telemetry would also be the same group that use ad blockers.

I wish I could use Linux at work but the software used does not have any alternative (that I can use) and I can’t be bothered with debloating and all that jazz. I try to keep work and private seperate instead.

While Heroic is great and I love it, I would be nice to have official support from GOG.

Any source? I want to read more.

You need something like this https://github.com/isacikgoz/tldr

😂

printscr anyone?

I like to use starship.rs

Thanks for explaining. I can see how it can be considered public (by my own argument) while still not being public in the sense everyone else (myself included) would understand it.

Not sure what The Ritz is but that sounds public to me. The access is not restricted by any other mean than paying for the service.

Isn’t the cookie warnings because of the EU?

Okey, that sounds super nice. I might just switch over my email as well to them, not just use them for their calendar.

I used to have a disposable phone number just for signing up but it was more trouble then it was worth. If the website is shady enough, I go look somewhere else.

Does proton do anything other than encrypting the email file? TLS should be enough to encrypt the transfer.

I clicked for you. From the website:

Cock.li is your go-to solution for professional E-mail and XMPP addresses. Since 2013 cock.li has provided stable E-mail services to an ever-increasing number of users. Cock.li allows registration and usage using Tor and other privacy services (proxies, VPNs) and thanks to continued funding by its users is certain to stay free forever.

I tried to report an issue in GitLab. I needed to input my phone number and payment information to create an account. WTF? No thanks, I’ll just not report the issue.
