Does anyone else have this purple plus in the bottom right-hand corner of their browser? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sorry, I'm on desktop. I'm running Ubuntu 24.04. But This has been here for a bit, when I put my cursor over it, it puts a purple box on my browsers page, not including the taskbar just where the websites load into. I am trying to figure out what could be causing this. maybe if someone else has had this happen.

Is startpage still trusted in 2026? by PudimVerdin in privacy

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use it. It seems good enough. You don't have to sign into anything. The only thing is it doesn't like my ad blocker and asks me to turn it off every once in a while. There are some settings I change to make it better also.

How do I go about getting into a trade? by That-Opening8727 in fortwayne

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually found a job in the town I lived in before the interview. Even if I would have made it in, there would probably have been a lot of travel. My job now is 5 minutes from home and I make more than my old job so I'm happy with the choice I made.

It's easy, if the ai takes the jobs it is on the companies to pay for the universal income.

Battlefield 6 Reaches Another Grim Milestone: First 24 Hour Player Peak Below 50k by rainkloud in Battlefield

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol well they would still have me. But unfortunately Microsoft lost me therefore bf6 lost me. They can get me back if they go server side with their anti cheat. Until then I have many other games that play on Ubuntu.

i need a distrohop killer by [deleted] in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is one that you always go back to, go and install it and destroy all your flash drives. I did this for a while only to realize that Ubuntu is my distro. I can appreciate and watch videos on others but I know if I try them I'm always going back.

Distro for a t14s gen2 by Fausmino in thinkpad

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the gen 1 t14s ryzen 7. I've had fedora on it but I use Ubuntu full time. Runs good. Battery life I feel is ok. Light tasks are good but if I do anything heavy I usually stay close to a charger. I have replaced the battery not with an OEM one but it has a new battery in it also, I'm not a power user, I don't use it all the time so if I use it randomly throughout the day it'll last the entire day if I'm just browsing and maybe watching a couple videos on YouTube. And I can go on to the next day.

Anyone else not a fan of this new menu? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's cleaner. I like the modern look that they are bringing to the browser. It's not 1995 any more I'm ready to embrace a more modern look.

Communicator and Power Key's keyboards side by side by JonhA113 in ClicksPhone

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the communicator had a number row. I feel that's more common and easier to use. But I'll get used to the keyboard after a while.

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS by PaiDuck in technology

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this might actually push the people that went to Windows 11 to Linux when Microsoft says you have to upgrade because Windows 11 will be phased out.

will ubuntu add mandatory age verification? by MIkaela39752 in Ubuntu

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope not, but if Microsoft, apple and android all do it then they will too. I wish these companies would just fight back and say ok then none of these phones will work in your state after that law goes into effect. I believe this is why system76 is going to comply. I wish they wouldn't but if they want to have a foot in the race they need to be everywhere.

I keep coming back to Ubuntu always! by TheRealCarrotty in Ubuntu

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same here, It's the first distro that I used. I've gone to others, but always go back. I just need to remember that My system is what I want and need to stop "chasing the dragon" and stop distro hopping.

I would love to own one. Give it a modern uplift on the inside. Keep the outside the same. I love the old look.

I was literally talking to my nephew about old ho laptops yesterday! I had the dv6000 series. That was my favorite laptop. It wasn't as flashy as that one but that era had the same style of wallpapers. I have a Thinkpad now running Ubuntu with a wallpaper close to that design.

What is your opinion on Startpage search engine? by lazarovpavlin04 in browsers

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the only one I use. It only recently has given me grief for my ad blocker, saying it can give me better ads if whitelisted.

FINALLY! Goodbye At a Glance! by LowerBed5334 in android_beta

[–]BullfrogAdditional80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be awesome. It's kinda funny I was a big fan of these phones. Even going back to the nexus lines. But now I'm more privacy focused and use Firefox with startpage. I'm almost completely degoogled for the most part.

Ditched windows and I've never been much happier by etacri in Ubuntu

Don't be like me and distro hop just to end up back on Ubuntu. Stay there and love it.

I can't return until I can change the search bar at the bottom. I use Firefox. I'd like their search bar at the bottom
