It’s the path of many of us here, now you will hate linux if you come from windows, give it a couple of months and you’ll ask yourself how the fuck you could be on windows till now.

I wonder why we don’t have AI browser extensions that can recognise and obscure possible ads / unwanted content yet

What about sexual and emotional education in schools?

Yeah sure, you have to trust your users

I like Debian with GNOME

Badum tssss

Video editing softwares definetely, kdenlive is nothing compared to stuff like sony vegas.

I guess probably, because Matrix is thought for private chatting, i guess someone else might have had this same idea, i think matrix is opensource so there must be some client that does this.

I mean theoretically if you are hosting your own chat server, for example on Matrix, you can easily make all the chats unaccessible from the clients by issuing a command to shutdown your server or simply the chat server service if there’s no content cached locally.

I think you can do this pretty easily with a raspberry pi by connecting via ssh…

Just use a shell script that changes the static ip to something else after the command to shutdown the service/wipe out the data (depending on what your goal is) has been issued, or use a vpn or something like that if possible, because anyone issuing the command would need to know your server ip.

And issuing a command by ssh to a remote server both from smartphone or pc should be as easy that you can actually build a very small app for that, or use some app that creates shortcuts that directly connects and issue custom commands.

That way you are forced to give people your new ip every time chats become unaccessible/deleted and someone can’t connect back even if wanting to without talking to you, unless you decide you can use the older ip for whatever reason.

Of course not using your real ip but using some service like a vpn or proxy (or tor?) would be much better here, but i don’t really know how.

That can give you full power on the chat history and create the said “panic button” for every client involved.

TREE STYLE TAB

If it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.

I simply backup the /home folder, where the important files are with duplicity on my home server with ftp once a week, keeping records of the last 6 months. But as that only restores the home folder i also take a snapshot (which takes way more disk space) every month with timeshift too, which stays on the pc. Would be great if i could take complete snapshots via ftp just like with duplicity, but timeshift doesn’t do that.

Debian with GNOME

Most definetely, i would strongly suggest the Supernote, if you want there are also android options like Onyx, but those are more similar to full tablets than just to a study tablet / productivity device

Check out e-ink tablet like the Supernote A5! They are marvelous and study/work only focused!

Okay then, i think i’m buying a new guitar

This is actually something i wanna get more informed on, for example i see that e/os is still supporting the first google pixel (from 2016), it’s already 7 years of updates. However i think that applies just to the OS update, not the security patches, am i right?

This is very interesting, makes me wanna share my experience too, in my case between 2 different custom ROMs, but with the same phone:

• Lineage OS for microG but without device registration, cloud messaging and safety net disabled

• /e/OS which is essentially lineage os for microg + tracker blocker but with all the device registration, cloud messaging and safety net enabled

Both are rooted with magisk.

e OS would consume MUCH more battery compared to my previous installation of Lineage, so i was wondering if those microG settings can actually change this much, or if pheraps it is the tracker blocker or something else… Another difference is that e/os has a more recent Android version than the version of LOS for microg i was using.

Was your Calyx install clean or it had Gapps or microg or something similar?

Just send them the new report on Nissan of the Mozilla foundation 😂
