  • It's Twitter 2.0. It's what the average person wants. It's popular because it has algorithms and all the other addictive things from corporate social media.

    Mastodon and others don't have these things and are harder to get started with. Picking a server is weird and scary. After that, getting your home feed started is difficult if you don't know to just follow some hashtags.

  • Hell yeah. I just wanted to add another option. I have no opinion regarding Sublime and choice is a good thing. There's something for everyone.

  • Notepad++ is my text editor of choice as someone who just edits the occasional file. I'm not a programmer or anything, but it's nice to have those autocomplete and syntax highlighting features for config files. Helps me keep track of stuff better when editing.

  • Do you?

  • Buying a membership may go against the spirit of the post and the community, but Anna's Archive is a very worthwhile cause and you get faster downloads without waiting.

    If that's not an option, they have torrents for chunks of their collection as far as I understand. Costs nothing but bandwidth and seeding helps keep the archive safe.

  • Maybe they picked it up again. Or we're talking about different Raccoons. Either way, good to have a fallback and Thunder has been great.

  • The dev gave up on it due to too many entitled demands from users or something from what I remember.

    ETA: Try Thunder as well. Raccoon was my backup for it back then.

  • Thunder and Voyager are two very popular options both available for Android and iOS. I use Thunder myself, with Voyager as my backup in case anything ever happens to Thunder the way it did with Liftoff and Raccoon.

  • Or "Let's fucking gooooooo!", depending on your relationship with said mom.

  • This is fair, but if you want those things then there are better options for you.

    Endeavour and Tumbleweed come to mind.

    Otherwise, wait a year or three for Debian to get them.

    ETA: The request was for office use, so I believe many of those features wouldn't be super important.

  • This happens sometimes. You flashed it in a way that makes Windows not recognize the full drive. Usually happens with dd flashing or Rufus' dd flash mode. I can't remember what tool I usually use to fix my USB sticks, but there will be a way.

    Also, just in case, check the computer's Secure Boot settings in case something changed that won't let the USB boot anymore.

  • Nice. Just do your best not to fall back on Windows too quickly. Really try to do everything on the laptop first. Except for work. If something isn't working just do it on Windows and move on in that case.

    Good luck.

  • You tried it on an old laptop before. If that or some other spare machine is still available, that would make a perfect machine to try and do everything while your battlestation is still there for things you can't figure out immediately.

  • Chinese company and the phones use Mediatek chips, so no custom ROM support last I checked. Otherwise I would have been all over it.

  • Looks like it.

  • You're absolutely right and I forgot that for a moment there.

  • On your phone (and other devices) you can also use a DNS adblocker. Less effective, but good for most people.

    Mullvad.

    Control D.

    AdGuard.

    ETA: This usually doesn't work on YouTube. Sorry for any confusion. Works decently enough for other ads at least.

  • Always good to have options. People need to find whatever works for them.
