Battery replacement will also boost your CPU performance, it’s worth spending a bit of money on it.

Running PopOS on a 2012 Macbook Air and Fedora on a 2015 Macbook Pro.

Potential common pitfall used to be having to add the Broadcom wifi drivers separately - I had to add them manually for PopOS but Fedora worked out of the box. Honestly PopOS + Wayland totally saved the old little Air and it’s a fantastic machine to use.

You may have to start using some free third-party tools for built-in features that work on the Mac.

I replaced iCloud keychain with BitWarden for password management. You can use Beeper for iMessage - it’s one of the few things to actually support it. iCloud Drive can be accessed via rclone I think but it might be terminal only - mind if you can get it to work via terminal then you can mount it as a folder. You can use Cider as an Apple Music client. I haven’t yet looked into Calendar and Contacts sync with iCloud but you can always export those and import in your software of choice on Linux.

Depends on how you define private. It’s not “private” in the sense that it is accessible to the public interner. It is only more privacy-friendly in the sense that say, unlike Facebook, there is no need to use your IRL ID data, there are no weird algorithms baked in, and no targeted ads. Nothing would keep 3rd-party scrapers from profiling your posts that are public, but at least by default it’s not evil.

… until Meta will arrive on the fediverse…

I mean it even harvests typing data and Outlook also includes calendars etc… It’s really bad.

But yes, I just suggested a re-evaluation of the use of Microsoft Outlook to my company …

Depends on your sector of work. Imagine you’re a therapist or a lawyer…

They hid it behind the real moon so you can’t see it because it’s very secret

There will be simple conversion kits available I should hope.

Look somebody photoshopped Trump’s head on Orban’s body

I would go with Lakka. I have a Myoo Mini that runs RetroArch at its core and I have found RetroArch to be fantastic. Lakka is built on top of RetroArch and not just for Pi’s, but I think they are advertising it as “even for Pi’s”. The lighweight system will leave more horsepower for the emus.

Generally VPN’s are a good idea. I think the level to which streaming is policed depends both on your ISP and the laws of your country. An ISP that is part of a big conglomerate that owns media companies (eg. Virgin) might have more financial incentives to go after people who stream content “unofficially”.

Hard work and dedication.

It’s down as well.

“The Grayzone” - yeah bye

Actually I totally forgot 8.1 existed. 😀 Same here in that case!

Kindof proud to say I never installed anything after Windows 10, including that.

I don’t think it’s about a craving for centralisation but for newcomers and people still learning the core ideas about decentralisation it’s about a promise of more active engagement and more varied content.

But the friendly mines are friendly! They are kind to you when taking off your leg and they never lie to you!

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use water to extinguish fires? I don’t know if AI is a good flame retardant but it seems like an expensive thing to use.
