what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it's a gacha. I don't want to gamble with my account being banned, so I'm keeping windows for it specifically.) this'll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues with...

Linux Mint. Yes, it's not that interesting, but as many others point out, it just works. Both on my laptop and desktop pc. No issues for over two years.

facebook and google are also hated. Just not by the government.

i dont think ipads are the best. Samsungs tablets since the tab s7 do great. Have it for four years now heavily in use in school and university. Sideloading all the shit i want.

google and samsung suck just as much. Custom rom's for the win. Besides on Android at least you dont have to use a google account and can use aurora store or apks. And you can easily set a filter to not allow any apps or system apps to use internet.

apple tracks as much data as google does. It just isnt as open in saying that. But its commonly not known.

Anyhow. Both suck hard. Atleast on Android though, you can go without google.

as in how? using it for ads? Ok. And apple shares it with the chinese government in china. Unlike Google.

battery storage? how long do they last until they loose most capacity.

A lake pump system would make much more sense to store energy. Pump up water into a higher lake when theres too much energy and get it back with turbines, when you need energy.

why, when it can actually be helpful? Using chatgpt for searches is already much faster than denying 10 cookie banners. Some more privacy focused AI would be great, if firefox does that.

i think windows uses it for updates to make them faster, and many games too

How to get a private car

Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...

Just buy a used car. Look for low KM and good climate rating.

Why care for privacy when in the end your using android auto or apple play?

And a home assistant breaks the point even further.

thats ok with me. Wouldnt buy a ios device anyways. Exactly, because they dont allow third party apps.
