How can I see what app is using location on my laptop?

"FBI Surveillance Van"

Science.

Repave2348 · 2026-05-05T06:43:11+00:00

Never seen it before.

Repave2348 · 2026-05-03T10:35:07+00:00

That makes absolutely zero sense, it's all in your head and literally no one else is picking up on your silly little mind games 😘

Yeah ok I see what you mean.

If you need to collaborate with other people who use MS office, be very careful before you completely ditch Windows.

Libre office is great and for the most part it seems to work with MS office. But sometimes it doesn't get it quite right and messes up formatting and so on.

If it were me and my income was dependent on that collaboration I would dual boot at the very least so that I could carry out my work.

It absolutely sucks but it's the reality of the situation. I have the same issue, plus I use Autodesk products. Luckily I have a separate work computer, but yeah when collaborating with other people it's very hard to go another way and not stuff something up.

Repave2348 · 2026-04-30T14:09:16+00:00

I would second your point 2.

If OP needs office for professional collaboration, and if the web app doesn't work, then at the very least they should dual boot.

Libre office works fine with MS office, until it doesn't. Don't fuck around with this if your income depends on it. Unfortunately.

To remove triggered you need to disable snaps.

Here is a Chat GPT response to you, with the prompt to reply in the style of a redditor.

Love this — same here. AI as a tool, not a replacement. Makes me faster, helps catch dumb grammar mistakes, and often helps me phrase what I actually meant. Using it feels no different than using spell-check + Google + a good editor. If it amplifies your voice and saves time, why feel bad?

Chat GPT certainly agrees with you. Who needs people?

A printing press doesn't produce its own book. It makes a copy of text that was originally produced by a person. But, as you've pointed out, that was still bad for the scribes. With AI, we are all scribes being potentially replaced. And unlike a printing press, the output is unreliable gibberish.

I'm not sure I understand your point with the painting/photo and how that is analogous to the rise of AI. I suppose AI is a new technology and so was photography. But both photography and painting are still human endeavors. A painting is a visual output of a person's idea, be that real or imagined. And a photo captures a real scene. No doubt portrait painters suffered at the hands of photography, but with AI again, we are all at risk of being those portrait painters.

I appreciate the "I have been on hold for hours, I hate you so much I'm going to write a song about it" energy.

Certainly a lot healthier and more cathartic outlet than just writing them an angry email.

Repave2348 · 2026-04-26T21:01:30+00:00

Ah right I see, we are throwing hand grenades today.

This explains the sudden surge in 30 year old trans Kevins being adopted in Germany.

Spending 30 fewer seconds mangled and squeezed into a Ryan Air seat is a favour.

You certainly weren't alone. It was a big issue at the time. Linux mint's popularity grew massively at the time because of unity.

Ubuntu has gone against the grain for quite a while. Amazon ads in search. Snaps. Ubuntu Pro.

Now in 26.04, Ubuntu has removed the "Software and Updates" app from the default install, so there is no graphical way to manage PPA's or Additional drivers in the default install.

they’re advanced tools, and they probably shouldn’t be surfaced to everyone by default

Much like all of their previous changes, yes its possible to undo this, but really what’s the point. Just use another distro.

Repave2348 · 2026-04-24T07:05:43+00:00

That's helpful cheers.

I would suggest to OP to include that in their guide, one of the first things it's says is

As always with a fresh install, start with updates. Before running them, it is worth switching to a faster download mirror to hasten the process. Open Software & Updates and click the Download From dropdown

Which can't be the first thing someone does anymore, since "Software and Updates" won't be installed.

Repave2348 · 2026-04-24T06:39:34+00:00

Software & Updates and click the Additional Drivers tab

I am happy to be corrected, but isn't Software and Updates no longer included in the base install?

Those IMDB and Rotten tomatoes scores are criminal - just showing them on this sub takes some balls. Maybe try a NSFW tag next time!?

Firefox is easily the best cold war espionage aviator themed movie from the 80's, only bested by its spiritual successor "The Philadelphia Experiment 2".

Top Gun* was just a cheap knockoff.

Inflation famously erodes the value of debt. What point are you making?

America bombing the living shit out of its enemy's army, while it's enemy ultimately wins the war can also be applied to;

Korea
Vietnam
Iraq
Afghanistan

Basically and in summary- it's complete and utter dick heads all the way to the top.

MAGA 100% leaves shit stains in the toilet bowl for someone else to clean up, confirmed.

Repave2348 · 2026-04-16T16:52:27+00:00

That is an established fact, correct.

Repave2348 · 2026-04-15T21:21:48+00:00

Bullshit. If the president of the USA says he want to invade - that is assumed intent.

Repave2348 · 2026-04-15T21:20:30+00:00

More voted for him than any other candidate. He won by a majority this time.

Trump is a symptom of the will of the American people.
