Im in the same boat as you. Insanity. There is a way to disable smart features (and internet/ads) after a factory reset if you dont need any apps like youtube, etc.

I already don't but so far that hasn't worked. Mass boycotting just doesnt exist in modern day. We don't have enough inertia to sway the ignorant.

It came from a membership survey. Apparently there was some volunteering process

That giant handheld Nitro 11 looks atrocious. Happy to see handhelds entering the market after the steam deck, but this ain't it.

Every year since the day I switched has been my year of the linux desktop

Would there be any other way to access the iTunes music/media store? I only use itunes now to buy DRM free music when its not available on bandcamp. As far as i know its been the only way to access and purchase via the itunes store on a non-apple device

sent from my Xcover6 Pro.

Replaced my xcover, which replaced my lg g5. Wish it got more love in the foss OS department. Love all the hardware features but dont love samsung. First party support for a phone like this though is a benefit

This is my go-to linux music player purely and simply for the fact it supports winamp classic skins

Privating protests definitely had some teeth in the short term, but not in the long term. In the short term, it targeted what Reddit and other social media sites value most: user retention. By privating subreddits, people would be denied access to the content they want (while being served ads), so they'd click off the website. That's why it's gone now. It's sad people are still volunteering their time for the profit of investors. I would, though, argue that privating subreddits was one of the most effective online protestings of recent history

Pretty much. Isolated environments to run a single service usually, although someone with more familiarity can comment further

If it is M1 or M2 Asahi Linux is the way to go, but it is still in development and probably not ready for your mom

Decades later and the only truly Runescape-like game was made by the guys who made Runescape. This seems pretty cool, might try it out.
