Even though KDE Connect came with Endeavour OS (arch BTW) I had to allow some firewall settings.

You can also pay to and store you 2FA codes in Bitwarden. Easy to logon to sites as it copies the code for you. But probably a bad practice.

As a noob where do I find more handy tips like this? Alone with handy/popular apps?

Almost every windows app I had was on Linux (most were FOSS already) but I know there will be some unique or interesting ones.

For example in android there is Obtanium now to update apps direct from git, or the many was to use YT without ads.

Can you explain more? I'm getting into Linux and ops post has been a game changer.

What does a digital assistant do?

Re icaprivacy I'd like to see more links like #2. The UK woman who was banned from shops as a real life situation / consequence. The rest are privacy leaks and security issues that my friends and family know of but don't care, until it's real-life as per the UK example.

Any benign over InkScape if I'm ready proficient with InkSxape?

The dev has a new repo and its called Tubular. Se thing as NP Sponsor Block. Something about NP not wnating to be associated in name.

But as others said. Let the builds roll down. The devs aren't getting paid.

Win 10.

Slowly have been moving odd big tech platforms. Recently got a Fair Phone. Read win11 disasters. Trying Linux for the 20th time.

Its been longer than 3days now so that's something.

Been making these moves over 5 years or so. Slow and steady.

And SmartTV or whatever is. Basically the same but for Android tv.

"Google have borrowed this idea form Waze" doesn't Google own Waze ?

I'd love a fairphone, pixle type android tv that I can root and remove all google services from. Shield is where it's at, but it's a bit old and even without Google it's still going to be sending data to them.

Actually so good.

I'd tried matix but without a high level of technical experience it was pretty difficult to setup. I got as far as docker, that needed ansible, that wouldn't compile. I also recall there was services I could pay for, but then I'd rely on them to provide the security/servers.

Matrix doesn't seem for the majority of people taking a first step away from big tech.

I'll organise a time and place to meet in person via ... Carrier pigeon?

We're citizens raging against phones Lazlow.

Whats the next best alternative?

IDK man. I tried Linux a few times, and it never stuck. Things don't work, it involves endless reading, or the latter then the prior on loop (where as windows just works).

I'm trying out endeavour ATM and hopefully it will stick. But it took me a solid few attempts, over days, to find out "where does pacman get its apps from". I know the answer is more conplex, but eventually I foind and the arch web db...with the help of perlexoty.AI.

I didn't realise it was different than the AUR web db look basically identical. I never noticed the URL difference. As far as Linux has come its still little frustrations that hold it back for even semi tech literste pople.

I'm trying to save from posting in forums (and have rooted a few androids with less than a handfull of posts) but I can't even work out from the wiki how I can give pacman a list apps to install when it's spaced out on each line, without making it a .txt file. It's pretty impossible to "just read" and work out simple things.

Maybe it's just like my opinion. (I am liking endevour so far).

The online version is so different than the original release. Its like a whole different hand you'd hardly recognise (except for its GTAness).

😅

You mean a sit-stand desk. There pretty neat. If you can get the whole proper desk. Not just the risers that sit on a normal desk. There prone to cutting csbles, monitors falling and just take up space.
