Probably some more stuff I’m forgetting. It’s basically my everything box.

Adobe does anti-consumer shit. More at 11.

This argument is covered in the article.

It actually is available on the website, but like most stores their mobile web experience isn’t great.

That actually made me laugh out loud. 😂

The Lowe’s app is actually really handy. You can look up any item and it will tell you the exact isle and bay it’s in for your store. No more wandering around or hunting for an employee to ask. It’s the only store app I actually keep on my phone.

I’ve been using screenfetch.

IDK man, I’ve been using it exclusively on my main desktop at home and I’ve been getting along just fine with those “not particularly good” applications.

I dicked around with the VM route for a while and could never really get it working 100% to my liking. There was always a trade-off. I ended up just getting a second PC and tucking it in a cabinet out of sight. When I need Windows I just use remote desktop to connect to it.

I just recently had a wfh user ship me one of his monitors back because we had exhausted every thing I could think of troubleshooting-wise. When it arrived I unboxed it, plugged it in and the damn thing worked fine. I followed up with him and finally realized he had been trying to push the damn power LED instead of the actual power button.

Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.

Check out Pinta for a decent paint replacement

Exactly. It’s pseudo code. It’s meant to be universally understandable, not language specific.

They have their uses. In particular they’re useful for easily getting applications your system repositories don’t have or getting more up to date version of applications. Downsides are certainly the space all the redundant dependencies take up and the sandboxing can be a PITA especially if you have an application that needs to run another application. Overall I think they’re the best “third party” package system available but they’re not great.

App Images do suck, but I don’t think flatpak is much better. It’s more of a lesser of two evils situation. Snap isn’t even in the conversation.

Good luck finding a 65 inch computer monitor

I have one of these on every TV in my house and they’re great!

I thought this was the legitimately the point based on the title until I read the article. The internet has poisoned our minds. Lol

No, you’re right. That’s not a good excuse but being overly dramatic over it doesn’t really do anything productive either. At the end of the day it’s just a default option that can easily be changed. Not really a conspiracy by Google and Apple to steal your personal data.
