I mean, Mexico has never been a beacon of privacy or regulations (just for super specific technologies that were implemented first, mostly banking ones), but the government has also been pushing weird changes to how they handle surveillance and personal identifications, giving more power to the authorities while they’re exempt for most of the transparency laws (everything they do, even public infrastructure is managed as some kind of ‘state secret’).

I am scared.

I had seen that prompt, but never searched about it. I found it a little annoying, mostly because I didn’t know what it was for, but now I won’t mind. I hope more solutions are developed :D

Thank you! That’s really helpful for the plans I have :)

May I ask what are the specs and size of those Thinkcentres? I have one I’m using as a server and planning to upgrade the CPU because it has a dual core one, and someone offered me the same one I have, but it’s pretty big. I’d prefer to use the tiny models when I can buy some :D

Same here in México, a lot of people think their dual core Intel from 2011 (and even older than that) is still worth more than +$100USD. Even worse, companies usually want to resell devices to recover some of the cost, so even that option is kind of expensive. I’m waiting for some friends that can buy company devices for cheap so they can resell them to me for cheap too lol

Hey, I also sway my foot while using the terminal!

My favorite example of the use of both are PDFs:

• I’ll use Stirling-PDF to insert/replace pages in specific places, rotate, move pages, etc. I like to visually understand what I’m doing.
• I’ll use pdfunite to merge PDFs.

I mean, Carlos Slim is not from the USA, so most news were in spanish:

Thanks for pointing that out. I think some are also supported in KWin:)

It’s so expensive that I have only tried it when buying from restaurants. I wouldn’t buy them directly because they’re not affordable nor being sold in a place close to me.

I don’t know if it’s been updated recently, but take into account that LXQT doesn’t support global shortcuts yet ☝️

It works well, but it’s still missing features; as they say: it’s experimental right now.

I’m glad there’s a printer service close to where I live, I can go there and print every page for cents. There’s also one on my faculty, more expensive, but still affordable. I only use my HP printer/scanner to scan documents, ink is expensive as hell.

I use the ‘No Thanks’ app, but only as a starting point to then confirm if what they say it’s true. I don’t like that it’s closed source, but at least it’s an option. Also, I should note that some brands are ethical in some countries or states, but not globally, so you should check local resources for better results 🧐

Too many times I’ve been at the very limit of failing to deliver an assignment. I used to have classes from morning to night (used to get home at 23:00) and sometimes I did homework at uni and scan/upload in my computer since camera-scanned documents don’t look as good, so I had to deliver them ASAP, but Windows would take a LOT of time to load Teams and sometimes it started applying updates at startup, so it would be SLOW AS HELL.

Just some days ago it happened again (the homework was assigned a day before) so I booted up windows and what a surprise (/s) it started applying updates, so Teams wouldn’t even open. I had to send the files from there to my linux computer (I love you, KDE connect!) because I still had to add some things to the document and Teams for Linux loaded in a second lol

LOL! Me too, I started using a lot the search function and I ended up moving to a FOSS alternative that is search-focused (and a lot lighter)

Could you give more information?

Is it running in the same machine you want to search from?

Is it running in a container (and which network mode)?

Have you changed the configuration of SearXNG? I think the default URL was localhost in some settings (like the hostname or base_url variables in both settings.yml and docker-compose.yml).

Also, it’s been a while since I made SearXNG my default search engine, I used to use an extension since the Firefox way is less customizable.

That would be wonderful! I got the opportunity to try Linux when I was like 5 (didn’t know it was Linux) and even though I was already very interested in computers, I didn’t know I was using Linux nor how capable it was.

It took time until I had my own laptop and could start learning new things, and only knowing about Linux from afar since I wasn’t able to install it myself and didn’t have any adults that could teach me, but you could be that person to this kid (if they’re interested in the future ofc)!

I’ve been using Anytype for project management and some collections, like my favorite art pieces, an archive of memos/random notes and writing planning.

I use markor for reminders (QuickNote) and sometimes to convert files to PDF since I mostly use Markdowm for everything.

I haven’t found a perfect workflow, but I haven’t tried using Anytype for serious note-taking, though it seems very capable.

Thanks! I’ll check which similar hardware I can find near me :D

May I ask which devices (computers/keyboards) do you use for your screens? I’d like to do the same, since we mostly watch the same TV channels in my house and one subscription would cover most of the content my family watches.
