Iddon’t have a pebble watch but I find my smartwatch useful for reducing my screen time. when I get a notification, I look at my watch and don’t do anything else if it is not important, doesn’t require immediate answer. When I don’t have my watch, I look at my phone to see the notification, and check other stuff while I have my phone, like Instagram end Lemmy, and a single notification takes 20 minutes of my life.

You’re both right.

I pay myself 10 dollars everytime I watch a pirated movie.

Thank God! That’s a relief. I thought I was going to have to redo my entire photo library hosting stuff.

Can you elaborate?

I was this 🤏 close to buying squadron 42 years ago, as it was just about to get released. dodged that bullet.

Yeah… victory belonging to the person with the widest reach

I thought you were going to say something about Spotify for a moment.

He thinks competition is for losers. You have to create monopoly if you are a serious capitalist. source

democracy is no longer enough to keep the masses silent, so we need a dictator so that the capitalists can keep on capitaling

Peter Thiel said that democracy isn’t compatible with capitalism and we need to get rid of democracy in order to protect capitalism.

Private information doesn’t necessarily mean “entire contents of all word documents I have ever created”

It’s just unnecessary red tape.

Which will reduce the number of people using foss apks, which will in turn, reduce the motivation, and then the number, of foss apk developers.

shlooter if you will

I will not :)

this looks awesome!

You can mess up android by installing third party apps, using shizuku, or rooting. If there is a distro as strict as vanilla android is for the average user, then you are right. I’m talking no root, no sudo, only official flatpak apps can be installed and only user’s home directory is r/w.

Even for an intermediate user, immutable might be a good choice, but it is extra unneeded complexity for a beginner, according to my experience with those type of distro in the past.

But people are different. Some might feel right at home.

Developers, yes. Beginners, I don’t think so.

My advice would be, only use vanilla/default/official versions of the most popular distros. Ubuntu, not Ubuntu Studio, Fedora, not (I don’t know what variants there are) Fedora. Do not use specialized distros, for example a gaming distro. Do not use 3rd party repos. Do not manually install any packages from anywhere. If you want something and official repos of your official distro cannot do it, just don’t do it. Do not try to find a workaround and make it happen.

After using Linux for a while you’ll become more comfortable with it and you’ll slowly start moving outside the above limitations. The best and worst thing about Linux is that your OS is yours and you can tinker with all of its parts. But you shouldn’t, at the beginning. If you were to tinker with Windows like that, it would also break.

Can someone seriously answer this question. I’m losing my mind over here. WTF does it mean?

Went to see my profile…

Whose doesn’t?

Do you have a blog or something? Do you write about your experiences regarding this?
