I don’t hate windows, it just annoys me. I’ve run linux in a VM under windows for years and about 2 years ago it annoyed me enough (I think it was something about a patch breaking things badly enough that I had to restore the system) that I said ‘screw it’ and switched the arrangement to linux and the few windows programs I really wanted running in wine. I’ve been skipping back and forth between them since Yggdrasil was a thing, so it wasn’t like it was uncharted territory.

And after hearing some of win11’s BS, I’m glad I did.

You should definitely ask a bunch of random people on lemmy what to do instead of what the doctors say…

Ah yes, the update nobody actually wants…

Vivaldi has said they will as long as the code is in Chromium, and are planning on it going away by June of next year.

No idea about Brave, I don’t use it and never will.

This did give me the motivation to switch to back to Firefox, and later possibly Librewolf though, so thanks Google.

I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…

No. I checked it out twice, looked around, and noped out. Haven’t been back since.

I don’t care what it’s called as long as it’s a decent distro and does what I need it to do.

This. I’ve never voted for ‘not the other guy’, but I will this time. Honestly, the democrats could run Vinny the Wino and I’d vote for him over Trump.

If you’re going to not use software because you don’t like a program with a similar name, I really don’t know what to tell you… 🤷‍♂️

Cheaper than what? Scrounged free parts?

Unless it’s all you have. Speaking as someone that’s at times been poor af, sometimes people just have to cobble up a frankensystem from whatever parts they can scrounge.

One of the things I love about linux is that it makes this reasonably possible.

Weechat. Terminal based, flexible scripting system using a handful of languages, still actively developed, and I can make it work the way I want it to work.

Hmm, I think I like v1 better. It’s all good though.

Don’t you have anything better to do than fill out this survey?

Personally I use ksnip. Pretty sure it doesn’t do video though. It does do assorted image capture, OCR (if you have Tesseract installed), and supports uploading to imgur, FTP, and anything you can manage to do with a script.

There isn’t really a perfect replacement for ShareX that I know of.

Nah, I’m good. I’m fine with services being limited to what information they can convince my browser to give them, rather than what they can convince my phone to give them. Or try and convince me to give them permission to access.

I wouldn’t even bring my phone, or if I absolutely needed something like that, I’d buy a cheapass pre-paid burner. And keep it off until you actually need it.

Phone: Nokia 5160 I think it was.

Computer: ZX-81

Yep, I and a few friends use it.

NurdRage for chemistry goodness.
