I’m not bothering to dig it back up, but I thought I remember something like it was based on a policy when a verified user changes their logo. The verification was put back once reverified. Stupid, yes, but if policy it makes more sense.
I’m not big on defending Xitter, but IF this is uniformly handled, this is the least of our reasons to get torches and pitchforks after them.
To stay away from the influence of google’s business practices and their influence on chromium.
If that’s the case foxnews would like cut out most of the challenge. I’m not old enough to have adult children yet but I still have a hard time grasping news channels are entertainment venues.
News used to be actual news done by reporters. It had credibility and a degree of respect. This shift has been near impossible for my parents generation
Not sure if it would meet your requirements, but if specific enough to your phones current control capabilities; would a shortcut or automation app meet your needs. I seem to remember them being able to prompt for input. It might be a more COTS approach for you depending on your needs.
It wasn’t terribly clear, but the paperwork sounded pretty flimsy at best. While I like the thought the company shouldn’t install a back door, but I’d bet they all pretty much have one.
A safe company gives access to a customer’s safe without a court order? You had one job to do, and it was basically done… this seems bad for business, maybe if they’re publicly traded the stakeholders should take action against current leadership.
Please note my comments are completely separate from whoever happens to be the owner of the safe. That shouldn’t be relevant at all.
I believe the same standard should be held for customer data as well. Why wouldn’t there be an expectation that purchasing a safe is basically a zero trust platform. If it breaks or I lose my combo/key, I’ll need a locksmith to “break” in.
I think Qwant is as close as you’re going to get unless you can set up searchxng to do what you are asking.
Now, you might be able to get better diversity in results if you use a vpn to move to more diverse or contrasting cities.
I often find news sources external to the US to be very interesting insights to what we see rammed down our throats.
Unless you really need/want browser only, you might get away with any “lightweight” distro depending on the specs of the machine.
I assume you’re trying to install on something like a Chromebook. This might get you in the right direction. https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/linux/best-linux-distros-for-chromebook
It would have a lot more functionality too.
Qwant and kagi have been a great pair. Brave search was good, but they had some controversy a bit back.
I didn’t click the link, it felt scammy. Did I pass?
I’m with you. I’m a seasoned newbie, and I’m ok with config as long as I can find something to help me get through it where I’m. It completely lost and the guide isn’t 30 pages of gibberish that only makes sense to someone helping build and maintain the source/branch.
I do love the familiarity of a gui as it lets me be “lazy”.
That said I started on Ubuntu, didn’t really like gnome, tried kububtu, was meh on it. Then got to dislike cannological. I’m currently using mint, and have tried several distros as a vm. Fedora and Debian are 2 I’m trying to understand better.
That said arch and gentoo both seem like distros beyond my skill set, and I think I’d struggle with them as I don’t feel like the communities align with my needs. I feel like I should get better at stripping out what I don’t need in my distro before I start bare and build up finding only what I need.
The cool part of Linux is it’s kinda hard to go wrong with the choice as a platform. Picking the distro has been a harder choice to find what community aligns to my needs. So virtualbox, ‘kinda’ to the rescue.
I just try to buy clothes that can take the abuse. Once the bright colors get washed a few times, everything goes in together. Whites get bleached in their own cycle on occasion. It’s worked out goods enough.
This just isn’t where I’m willing to dedicate my time and energy.
Cleaning has always been a good enough type activity… I try to hold back a bit, or I’d be on everything with a tooth brush getting it perfect.
Pen_Swap is probably the only thing that could occasionally pull me back to Reddit. I think I’ve bought 1 $30 pen in my collection from Amazon. The rest were from the community. I’ve got several I need to release back into the wild from my collection, I’m having difficulty which ones to select. What I want keeps changing, but a smooth buttery nib is amazing no matter what.
We should be the change we want to see in the world, but first, I must caffeinate….
Was there any value to the “post in the thread before purchase to help reduce scammers?“ How would we do something similar?
I think you’re either stuck writing a custom script or uploading to an online service that can do the mass update, then back out all your data. I had lastpass then ditched them after the breach when they didn’t clearly communicate user impact. The auto change password functionality was hit or miss for me, so if you go this route make sure you get the functionality you need from a company you can trust.
Though if you do this once with strong unique passwords, you shouldn’t have to do a mass update again, right?
Yep, boot from a thumb drive or if you’ve got the power for it run a vm in windows. When you’re ready for the half commit phase, dual boot. Then you can pick windows or Linux at startup.
I’ve never posted a question on a Linux forum, but I’ve searched and used lots. I currently run Linux mint and then put windows in a VM if I really need a windows app.
If you’re not a gamer (with caveats) and don’t have to use msoffice desktop apps you’ll likely be fine in Linux.
For gaming a lot of steam games are supported but not all so there’s some gap there.
Try a live version(run from a thumb drive) or a virtual box environment. It’s come a long way in 20 years. I’d recommend an easier distribution to start like Ubuntu or mint. Note Ubuntu comes in gnome and kde interfaces. Kde is more start menu like to me.
Once I got everything working on my hardware, I was able to stop fussing with it. Privacy and lack of bloat was my reason to switch from windows.
You just gotta do what’s right for you. That might be windows, Mac, Linux, or something else.
Thanks, I’ll check this out. All new to me, What’s life without perspectives different from our own?
Wouldn’t that be known as a land contract?
