  To hell with Microslop.

  People need to have some dignity. When an OS becomes an ant-privacy ad serving platform first and foremost, it’s time to ditch it!

  My newest computer came with Windows 11. I ran it for a few weeks and wiped it and installed Bazzite Linux. I have had virtually no issues and honestly it’s been a fantastic experience.

  I do have an older laptop running Win 10 for a handful of programs that I haven’t figured out how to get to work under Linux yet, but it’s just a matter of time.

  I don’t like being under constant surveillance from my neighbors doorbell cameras. This is one of many excellent reasons why.

  What I am going to do is use MapComplete to start labeling every house that I come across that has one of these doorbells.

  Then I’ll post some QR codes around town that link to the map.

  Once people start seeing their homes called out on a map then perhaps some of them will feel uncomfortable with that and perhaps start to understand just why privacy matters.

  This sounds cool but what exactly will it do and what’s the purpose? What will these devices be connected to for internet? Local stores wifi and then extending it for others to use?

  I was under the impression that Jpeg XL was written out of modern browsers due to Google pushing their image format instead or are you talking specific support with in Pixelfed app?
