Hawaii. I used to live in Florida and while it has some pretty places and neat things, most of it is generic grubby little towns, trailer parks and lots and lots of rednecks. And most of isn’t very tropical.

Plus, Hawaii has volcanoes, which are always cool.

YMMV.

Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.

RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.

Xfce. Partly because I’ve used it for a long time, but mostly because it does what I need it to do and little else.

Been pretty good. I only use a few of the things they provide but it’s all worked well. The android app is sort of janky because it’s mostly several other apps, but I don’t blame them for not developing a shiny app for their service.

Mostly I sync contacts, some nextcloud stuff, and use their XMPP server.

No.

It apparently doesn’t like me using a VPN. 🤷‍♂️

It’s doing fine? I don’t use their email so I can’t speak about that, but… Did you have any specific questions?

If there’s a community here for something and it’s active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.

Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper… Not sure how terrible it is, but I don’t generally serve it to others because it’s very messy.

I’ve always just seen it called a frequency table.

It should steganographicaly hide all of their data in rickroll videos.

I may get hate for this, but… I do this a fair bit because I prefer TUIs for a lot of stuff, and also end up doing a lot of things in emacs because I usually have it open anyway…

That would be the very worst malware. I mean both the malware that installed it and win11…

bring back flash

There are really good reasons flash died. If you’re desperate for flash content, use ruffle.

Behind the Bastards, Linux Lads, Linux Late Night, The Infinite Monkey Cage (when they do episodes), some spanish stuff for listening practice (mostly Hoy Hablamos), Hack-a-Day, Self-Hosted, and Cory Doctorow…

I usually go with Xfce.

I don’t hate windows, it just annoys me. I’ve run linux in a VM under windows for years and about 2 years ago it annoyed me enough (I think it was something about a patch breaking things badly enough that I had to restore the system) that I said ‘screw it’ and switched the arrangement to linux and the few windows programs I really wanted running in wine. I’ve been skipping back and forth between them since Yggdrasil was a thing, so it wasn’t like it was uncharted territory.

And after hearing some of win11’s BS, I’m glad I did.

You should definitely ask a bunch of random people on lemmy what to do instead of what the doctors say…

I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…
