It's clearly a complete the CAPTCHA challenge.

Windows 11 is the best operating system Microsoft have released in a long time, and I think it wins out on Arch Linux.

Agreed, and to be fair I still stop in at niche subreddits I used to follow to see what's new, but never logged in.

While I love my ThinkPad T480, there's a bit of me that feels bad for having that replace my Latitude E6420 that still had life left in it on LMDE, especially as I upgraded the processor to a quad core i7-2630QM from the i5-2520M it had.

That being said, the ThinkPad has been better for my back than the 2.5kg Latitude.

This is the actual reason for me too. I'm making a point to never visit that website again.

There's exceptions like when searching for troubleshooting help and a relevant result happens to be on Reddit, but otherwise I avoid it as much as possible.

I haven't left, but now it's something that's on the cards, which wasn't the case beforehand.

I only recently linked my domain to my ProtonMail account, so if I do switch it should be relatively painless given I'll transfer the domain too, and the original PM address has become more of a lost cause anyway due to spam.

Yeah I'm very much now considering alternative options like Tuta now. Been a Proton user since 2020 and subscribed for over 2 years with them, and didn't have any intention of moving until now.

This is exactly how I feel when I use my TrackPoint and my colleague's like "CALL IT WHAT IT IS, IT'S A NIPPLE"

I don't get the hate comments here other than "hurr durr im on a morally superior social media and your daughter isn't". Yes, Rednote is a Chinese app with Chinese ideals, proprietary, non-free, foreign telemetry etc etc. but at the end of the day sounds like your daughter's having fun on an app that's not too indifferent from TikTok.

Careful saying that round these parts, you'll summon the ducks.

It only started for me because I wanted to have the convenience of a cloud password manager but without it being publicly open on the internet or hosted outside my network.

I set up Vaultwarden and Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi.

Now I've got 2 servers and a (very fucking slow Linksys NSS4000) NAS for backups hosting my life at this point (Nextcloud, Invidious, Beaver Habits)

As a LMDE user who usually keeps it pretty stock, that's customised. I actually didn't even know you could do centred taskbar with Cinnamon (even if it is objectively a crime)

I have an older Intel laptop that has a 1600x900 display, and I find that if I put the machine to sleep, connect an external monitor with a higher resolution, and then turn it back on, the login screen doesn't adjust to the new resolution and it reveals what I had open (see photo).

However, I'm not that familiar with Linux Mint (even though I've daily driven Linux for nearly 10 years, I very casually use LMDE) and I'm not sure if this is a Cinnamon problem or if the lock screen is under a different program.

Looking at Linux Mint's webpage on reporting a bug (https://projects.linuxmint.com/reporting-an-issue.html) they seem to mostly use Cinnamon as an example, but I don't want to report this issue as a Cinnamon issue if it's the wrong project.

In case this is platform specific, my device's details are below:

  • Host: Dell Latitude E6420
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM (Sandy Bridge)
  • GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family
  • Kernel: 6.1.0-21-amd64
  • DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4
  • WM: Mutter (Muffin)
  • Display Server: X11

I've never filed a bug report in my life before, usually I just put up with the issue until it's eventually fixed, but I feel this is a moderate security issue that should be flagged.
