So an already shitty app will double down on enshittification?

Using a mesh network like Wireguard/Tailscale enables you to have a public interface that's not on your home router, but the VPS instead.

This is great news.

As an early Android user, the F-Droid app is challenging enough that I don't recommend it to people, because I don't have the time to hold their hand everyday. This is unfortunate as F-Droid repositories are the easiest way for non-technical people to get more privacy-friendly apps.

I dunno, I've listened to some Middle English on a History of English podcast, and could follow along only slightly. I'm sure I could come up to speed quickly, since it at least has the French influence already (if I remember right).

I'm not familiar with the great vowel shift, is that a result of the Norman invasion in 1066, adding French into Old English? (That's the sequence, right? It's been a while since I read about it).

Because I don't need a reverse proxy?

Also, as for ease of setup, with Tailscale I install an app and login. Done.

Lol

Okie Pew, show me an open source spreadsheet app that can do tables, I'll wait.

Or, let's see you install Debian in one try on any of my machines. Or worse, Mint. Machines that Windows has zero problem installing.

How about cad? Or running any form of CNC? or a million other systems that have zero support in Linux land?

Tell you what, Pew, maybe you should come to the real world where most of us don't have time to play with our asses to get standard hardware, like Logitech mice to work.

And I use Linux every day, as servers. But I'll be damned if I ever use, or recommend it, as a desktop. There are tools I need (like excel) that simply must work, as-is. Unless you want to pay to redevelop all the systems that have automation to output/input excel formats that have been operating for a decade or more.

If Pew was "tortured by windows", then I seriously doubt his technical creds, , frankly.

Or it was malicious compliance

You can download a system restore image from Lenovo for that specific pc. It reloads the OS from a thumb drive, including the proper drivers and licensing.

For licensing you can also run the scripts from Microsoft.

"I don't like eating on an empty stomach"

Err, Uhh, that's kind of a downward spiral, I think

Why? Why would you do this?

And to quote Gwen on Galaxy Quest:

Well fuck that!

Nah, your partner started the whole thing by belittling your needs. Full stop.

Move on, don't waste your time with someone this selfish. You may not be perfect, but by God, your partner thinks it's always all about them.

Fyi... Typo in title

Funny, I got the reference on the very first line though!
