I have indeed noticed Google (and Google-based search engines like Startpage) has got worse in the past months. Even DuckDuckGo is better now (which as a long time ddg user is wild)

If it’s an old enough game, archive.org could have what you’re looking for

I personally don’t see the benefit over regular Mint since it removes snaps anyways. And the newer software from Ubuntu is nice

sometimes you want to sent text messages to normal people

This is another reason why I think the key to success is timing. Be the first to provide a service people need, and they’ll use it for a long time

I tried using Konqueror once, but Cloudflare websites (like WineHQ) would verification loop me. Niche browsers are discriminated against

I lived the switch in second person. My sister kept running out of SMSs to text her boyfriend, and our elder sister told her about Whatsapp and how she could have basically infinite text messages

because it’s the de facto sms replacement in many european and south american countries

Pardon, I remembered it so from a graph I saw a few months ago. Perhaps I misremembered, or perhaps things changed since then

Arguably the biggest contributor to the Linux ecosystem is Red Hat, a for-profit company that offers its technologies to the Israeli military among other things. The biggest contributor to the Linux kernel is Red Hat, while the second biggest is Meta. The Linux ecosystem is not inherently nonprofit!

Linux systems don’t rely on extensions to tell a file’s type afaik

AMD has better Linux support if you plan on using it

This phone is probably aimed at countries where Whatsapp is legit mandatory if you want a social life and a job (e.g. much of Europe and South America)

Android flip phones have existed for years. E.g. Saiet Link 4, as well as Cat phones (yes, it’s the same company that makes Caterpillars)

The price is unfeasible lmao. You could get an old phone for like 50$ used, put lineage on it, don’t install any app or store and be done with it

Do they need to be evil or are the good of heart ok tok

Fedora still does it (and it uses btrfs subvolumes, so they’re resizable)

If your data is periodically backed up, that means any malware would also get backed up too

Yet another reason why KDE Plasma is the G.O.A.T

Deltarune by leaps and bounds
