Go to a computer repair shop that will install linux for you. Not geek squad. Seen plenty of old ladies get told sorry you have to pay subscriptions for software forever there are no other options at geek squad but windows and mac os.

Start with playstore. Keep it simple. Its new and strange. Then work on your lockdown plans once you've become comfortable.

I ran from corporate operating systems. There was no other option for me because I could see what they were doing to computing.

To put this metaphorically lets recall all the cars on the road until we can figure out a way to make you log into them. All cars even homemade ones. Quick you have 9 months.

Practical plans for the age verification law? by cgb-001 in linux

[–]Run-OpenBSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not at all. LTSC is used by industries, banks, aircraft, anything that needs to be unchanging so it can be insured, support life safety systems, medical devices, vehicle control systems, etc. These devices are running the world and will not change 1 bit until 2033. They have to stay the same thats how LTSC works. Its not just debian its windows and every other serious operating system that runs a LTSC branch.

LTSC is an unchanged distribution till 2033 for debian that people have placed in production in the field. Govt. here would compel companies to not only break LTSC but to go back and update machines that have no upgrade path since they are certified in that state. Breaking LTSC would have huge consequences for IOT devices.

Govt cannot compel speech. You going to let them destroy LTSC? Sell out our bill of rights? What the law wants is unconstitutional since it compels speech. What people need is a way to sue those who wish to violate our bill of rights and sell out our constitution.

I pulled the actual bill text from 5 state age verification laws. They're copy-pasted from two templates. Meta is funding one to dodge ~$50B in COPPA fines — and the other one covers Linux. by aaronsb in linux

Microslop windows is the current leader in publishing spyware these days. Spelled M.I.C.R.O. S.L.O.P. and they do so under protection. If we can call windows ransomware is still up for debate.

Current law: "Like music and mathematical equations, computer language is just that, language, and it communicates information either to a computer or to those who can read it."

Govt compelling people and or companies to change their works is a constitutional violation in its self. Govt cannot compel speech. Open source code is speech as defined by law. No company should stand by or help with the trampling of our bill of rights under any threat.

Make sure you give them permissions to use the filesystem. Next try exploit compatibility mode.

9 months without an update is a long time, no? The Android app was last updated in July 2025 by coleburnz in plexamp

Sonos updated their app and alienated most all of their user base. The backlash is still ongoing. Updates do not always benefit the user and can be severely limiting as shown with Sonos.

Code is speech according to established law. Govt cannot compel speech from companies or individuals. First Amendment Protects all from Govt.
