Not to mention, it has an in-depth facial recognition network, collects literally everything about you to sell to the highest bidder and makes it difficult to switch to more private platforms

I went to the widgets pane on my w11 laptop once, clicked an article and to my horror, all of my data had been synced from chrome to edge, including passwords, history, open tabs, extensions, pretty much everything.

I even went as far as to report it to the ACCC (the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) since I’ve never seen it from other browsers, and that I found it pervy the fact they did it without consent, although I doubt the ACCC would be enough to change this shitty practice, and others like it.

They’re not even trying to trick the user anymore, they’re forcing them.

jesus, and i thought my dual laptop setup was crazy

not sure where my setup stands, i got my ipad in portrait, in the centre of the desk on a stand, with two 14 inch laptops on either side, one phone on the left side of the left laptop, another phone either wedged between the two laptops, or inconveniently chucked in the middle of the giant mousepad.

im thinking somewhere chaotic

I guess so, sounds good!

Good idea, although I don’t have my own house yet since I’m still a teen, and absolutely nobody would trust me to implement PiHole on our router lmao

At least 8 is better than 4

I retired my 4gb/120gb/celeron ThinkPad 11e today, since I’ve got a more powerful laptop lying around and I’ve used it for 8 years nonstop. It used to freeze up occasionally when there were more than 4 Firefox tabs open, and not to mention, my obsession with GNOME causing a shortage of system resources.

Man that ThinkPad felt like family, I’m gonna miss using it.

thank you for your input, sharkfucker420

Hmm, works for me in Aus, maybe since the ISP bs doesn’t happen with TPG.

Probably still faster than my ThinkPad 11e at video streaming

Lemmy especially

I resonate with that point, since I do a digital art/tech class, which uses Macs. I find app crashes and the inaccessibility of certain menus quite infuriating, i even somewhat rage internally for a while until i either quit what i was doing or search it up.

When my 8 year old Fedora laptop freezes, crashes, or sound drivers crash like what happened yesterday, I stay very calm and think of a solution, such as updating and restarting.

even if I haven’t built the OS myself or really customised it at all, i find it more calming that i have options to completely change the software compared to locked down OSes.
