This just hit me.
How long until governments create email accounts or digital identities (I mean they already have the latter). Then they force social media platforms (who n turn force users) to use/link that as age verification and content blocking.
What’s Tue next best after Bambu. Glad I didnt pull the trigger on blacl friday now.
Why use calibre at all? KO reader and Sync thing seams to be fine for my mobile to e reader. And syncs progress.
What am I missing?
Desert just looks amateur and something thst might have competed with XP.
https://surveys.debian.net/ took me a minute to find the vite link.

Does the action run on incoming our outgoing calls? Sorry if question is autistic.
Gimp and PS made no sense to me. Ive learnt $d modling over time and don’t it fairly easy.
Started with Tinkercad. Its fine for the basics. Square plus circle minis triangle etc. It dosnt have a timeline or parametric though, so small changes are pretty hard.
Mixed to fusion360. Free if you can navigate the site. Heaps of tutorials non lone and really solid to. Basically draw in 2d and extend. Draw in 2d and cut. Heaps non other use full ways to modify things too. Its parametric so you can say one side is X long. And change X and the model will scale.
Focus on the 2d shapes, fully constraining them and making them simple.
Moved to Onshape. Its not got the 10active models that fusion has. And runs (surprisingly well) in browser. i can jump on any PC (work cough) and make edits. The tools (for most people) are on par with fusion and I found it more initiative.
Watch heaps of builds on fusion and you’ll get the just pretty quickly.

This is a pretty good start to make Mint (Cinnamon) look better.
Its basically mall built-in tools.
I ended up just putting icons in the middle (to prepare for works Win11 enshitification).
I also put a user button near the time to allow shutdown and removed the god awful power icons from the start menu (or whatever the app launcher is called).
Theres also an extend thin for a bigger start menu more like a grid but thats personal preference.
I think mint should do some of these things so its not so off putting. It held me back forming for so long but IRS much better.
I prefer mint over fedora. Fedora dosnt seem to have as many apps in the store. Yes you can use a terminal but thats not helping linux become mainstream, mint is.
+1 mint also prompts new users to setup timeshift backups.
Apart from the WordPress issue. Bitwarden mixup. And Linux getting into US/Israel politics.
Signed. Negative Nancy.
Project is open source but not the app. :(
Endeavour IS is arch with KDE and a few basic apps. Pretty sure you dont need WiFi to test it. For any issues you can just use the arch wiki. I really enjoyed it as first distro as the wiki is so helpful. I moved to Mint tho (not DE) and have loved not having to use the terminal for anything.
Perplexity isnt new. The hook is it links to the web articles its sourced the answer from. So you can (somewhat) vet the information isnt a hallucination or dog into the website for more info.
I installed an emoji quick search app (not sure what one). It freezes Wayland/mint.
I tried Wayland once and didnt realise I was still logging in with it.
Maybe I misunderstood. Are launchers more like “search” or quick lunch?
I was looking for a start menu replacement.
Playing along for Mint/Cinnamon suggestions. Already using the Cinimenu (or whatever it is) but its still not “it”.
Probably not the place to ask, but. Say In a n00b and have Arch (EndeavourOS BTW) on a 15+ year old laptop. Everything works fine hardware wise. Software is fairly basic web, Inkscape, LibreOffice.
Do I really need all the latest Arch updates? Or can I just do an update say every 6 months?
As opposed to software distributed by CD tied to an African swallow?
Jokes aside. Backing up data to a software owned by a Chinese, American or Swiss company would have different implications. Different laws apply on how the government can access and use that data.
