I am by no means top at anything I do with a computer, but I do find it said that I tend to know more than almost anyone I interact with in real life when it comes to using computers.

For the most part the way I became proficient with a computer has come down to reading comprehension. I would like to see studies showing the overlap of computer proficiency, and reading comprehension.

I would fully like to erase my online presence. I dont want people seeking me out.

Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you don't have anything to say.

"Verizon agrees that the FCC should consider the merits and trade-offs of handset unlocking requirements," Verizon spokesperson Rich Young told The Register, though that support is conditional.

Screw verizon with an acid covered cactus. What possible "merits" are there to locking a device down for anyone but the companies selling the phones? Rich Young can go kick rocks.

I will not buy a phone through a carrier, I will not buy a phone with a locked bootloader. Period.

I am done with anticonsumer bullshit.

I have taken my own approach; there are things from each layer that I use. Some begrudgingly but others gladly.

The problem I faced when starting this journey is it does cut out a lot of people. And it becomes isolsting. So I did reel back a bit.

And here I am with a 3090 having more issues than I have time for wishing I went with an AMD card. Sadly we both can see grass ain't necessarily greener.

well... it sure is a possibility

Cancelled my subscription today. I will be finding an alternative.

Just disable the driver for touch input

The left. It's far superior.

I wouldn't say this is "better"

I do run a pihole, but I still will never connect my roku to the internet. It is much better to have a media PC or other streaming device I have control of fully connected.

It is possible. I suggest Prism Launcher. You can get CurseForge modpacks, and more.

There should be protocols and practices in place to stop our data from being owned and sold. Hence why I take the steps I do to help anonymize myself to a small degree. Ditch Facebook, ditch apple, ditch google, ditch Microsoft, ditch any provider that wants to claim your data that tou can to minimize this sort of behavior.

Its not that complicated: options.

You are presented with the Steam Deck UI by default. You don't have to use the desktop.

Installing non-steam games on desktop is handy.

Some people use the steam deck as more than just a game system.

If it's not for you, don't use it. Simple as that.

Please define "fossbro" I have never heard anyone use that before

The fact that you keep the spirit of linux here by making it available to all is beautiful. I will definitely take a look!

I want Mull to continue on. I don't want to use another browser. But I guess I must...

Fennec it is

I don't appify any web based app on Linux. Apps are for mobile. I use my Linux computers with fully fledged programs, including my web browser program.

Guess I won't be playing Playstation games.

Microsoft hate is justified.
