Also WhatsApp logs a bunch of metadata (who you contact, how often, profile pic, etc)

It typically happens during updates. People have reported their grub screwing up. If you’re able I would honestly suggest separate drives

Exactly, Twitter still has over 200 million DAU. Thread has about 30 million, Bluesky has less. Mastodon is worse.

Things like my city’s metro communication is still on Twitter. People aren’t going leave anytime soon.

In France you can have it delivered to a post office. To pick it up you’ll need to show a state id card as proof.

Curious, why not Ubuntu? Doesn’t it have more support forums and generally more popular?

Address some of the issues. Like not having multiple similar posts, on different instances with similar named communities.

Also to reach critical mass, we need to keep posting. Addition of new apps such as Boost will also increase popularity

True, I’d rather support Firefox as a browser and an organisation. Edge for pages that work best with Chromium engine

Same here. Edge gets a lot of bad rep, but I still prefer that over Chrome or Brave (due to its affiliation with crypto)

Can they do the same for Google recommending Chrome?

Unpopular opinion: Win 11 works well for me, and is visually better than Win 10. Although it’s a fairly recent PC. Although if they keep pushing more telemetry and ads, I’m moving over to Ubuntu.

Other than gamers, there’s a huge share of enterprise Windows users. And they’re not likely to shift OS, because of IT admin issues. Others in this thread have commented on how Apple is struggling to get devs to build native games compared to Windows.

Sure the number of home PC users might decline, one can always hope.

When talking about messaging apps, you’ve to use the one that’s easiest to use even for the most noob tech person.

Signal uses phone number, because that’s how people generally communicate. It’s easy to use, setup. No privacy nightmares compared to WhatsApp, or security nightmares compared to Telegram (where E2EE is not even on by default). It’s open source, regularly audited and can be used on any device (no more proprietary green bubble nonsense). There’s still a market for Threema and Matrix, etc. It just never will be mainstream.

Elementary OS is very similar to MacOS. Check it out

I’m liking it so far. But given this is a federated replacement of Reddit, how does replication of communities work? Cuz there are multiple Technology or World News communities in different instances. Which one do we follow?

Luxury handbags that cost $60k. Not just a handbag, but to diversify your investment and launder money.

China is doing a Speedrun in destroying their reputation. Began with COVID, then market confidence, now this (of course this isn’t the first instance).
