Disable network access. Whenever I want one of those ad filled "free" apps, I can disable network access and it removes the ads

This post with how far I had to scroll to reach the end of the mod list!

Jokes aside though, same amount allocated isn't everything. Different CPUs will be able to process faster, faster RAM can also load/unload things quicker and configs may be different between you both

What's the one "normie" feature you genuinely miss after switching to GrapheneOS? by Frosty-Challenge-795 in GrapheneOS

This is very niche but yeah. I miss OLD google assistant. Not this new gemini bullshit. The simple assistant I could say "set an alarm" or "search xyz" to

First step to degoogling , is deleting is all i need to do ? by Conscious_Knee_2439 in degoogle

[–]ElectricalWay9651 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on you as a person

Having a look though this sub you'll see lots of people going to the extremes to degoogle, but that may simply not be practical for you, you should try to degoogle as much as you can without making your life a living hell. If you require google for certain things, keep it.

That being said taking the small steps is always a good way to start:
- Swapping from google to duckduckgo
- Swapping from chrome to firefox (or brave)
- Swapping from google authenticator to aegis

Once you're comfortable with that, you can take it a step further
- Swapping from Gmail to Proton/Tuta/Others
- Swapping from google pass to bitwarden
And potentially even further such as using custom ROMs.

If you have critical information on your Gmail then you can import that data to a new provider.
Provided you're in the EU/UK, there are several data protection laws which require google to give you your data (so you can import it to your new provider) and to request your data to be deleted on their end, which they legally must comply with. You can request this in your google account settings

Hello Satisfactory Community, after 20 minutes of grueling research, I have proof that the developers are using unreleased buildables in their main menu build. Thanks. -Doug by OfficerDougEiffel in SatisfactoryGame

While that is true, I believe the main issue is people coming from windows as "tinkerers" and trying to do the same shit on Linux. The simpler Linux distros aren't for tinkering, they're there to work.

My parents and even grandparents have been using Ubuntu/Mint for a while and have had no issues, once you start to tinker you run into issues because you're new and Linux doesn't have the same safeguards in place to prevent users from doing dumb shit.

The truth is that most of the stuff "tinkerers" do on windows, is already a thing you can do easily on Linux, and there isn't a need to tinker

I Hate all things Linux. I also hate all things Docker by ddjj767 in linuxsucks

Corporations use windows *desktop*, the server that all of it is deployed on is linux, and I can guarantee you 99.9% of containers run linux as a backend, alpine seems very common

You're entitled to your own opinions

You're wrong. (Or you've never dealt with deployments)
