- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 1 week ago:
If this appears on my phone I’m going to have to decide whether to try to block it or keep it as a way to cuss at it when I’m in the mood to burn some of Google’s electricity bill
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. 1 week ago:
As an owner of an old pine phone, I can confidently say avoid for now. Not remotely ready or reliable enough.

People would be making TikTok videos eating asbestos and cramming it up their bums claiming it cures COVID
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 3 weeks ago:
Firefox/Mozilla operated without any of the new additions for nearly the entire history of the internet until this year. If anything, “over”-reacting to the new policies was too weak a reaction. You do you and all, but I’ll agree to very strongly disagree.

That article says it better than I can in s short post. Firefox’s terms of use/privacy policy went over like a lead balloon last month.
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s incredibly important that people know, with absolute certainty, whether or not the new Mozilla/Firefox privacy policy in any way applies to / covers such a service.
I’m not saying I know the answer- What I’m saying without a concrete, permanently applied answer it’s not even considerable.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 4 weeks ago:
Been there. Accepted
To answer your questions though, I suggest the non-Cosmic version of Pop!OS. (and switch to wayland if it’s not the default yet- not sure, I’ve had this install for YEARS) It’s a good blend of “just works” and “up to date enough” to run anything, and I recommend steering well clear of Arch. I’ve been using Linux for a decade and I’ve always found a way to whoopsie it into a broken state. That’s a “me problem” yes, but if I can fudge it up that easily and I have experience using it, I think it’s unsuitable to recommend to anyone.
Most people live in a web browser- does it really matter if the desktop environment isn’t riced enough or isn’t windows-ey enough? That said, it takes actual hackery to make any version of Windows usable these days, so I’ll forgive a distro not being “absolutely elite” for someone’s preferences. Let’s not compare Linux forums to Windows forums, where no-one has ever, I repeat ever received ANY useful advice besides reinstalling their Windows, am I right?

Wow. I started to wonder what it’s like in your head but decided that might be hell for me. Democrats won’t step on others to make changes.
- Comment on The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses 1 month ago:
They’ve gone out of their way to avoid showing the hatch opened. From the pictures they DO have there, it appears the hatch opening area is borderline useless. My question is WHY?

In that case, you’ve got some work to do to cripple telemetry on your PC. If you’re on Windows 11 (new 24H2 build) you’d better also disable Recall, because it’s on. pureinfotech.com/uninstall-recall-windows-11/
I hate Windows but I don’t hate you- protect yourself
OOSU10 and OFGB should also be run on it.

I DO NOT want to be forced to use a terminal
I challenge you to fresh install any version of Windows and never use CMD Prompt, Powershell, or Regedit for any reason, ever.

On the up side, it’s now very, VERY easy to tell who is an idiot in the main hub cities within 10 seconds of the auction house.
