Sure shoot a dm. I don’t use mastadon, maybe this will get me started

Eternity ftw

I give a 👍 on a reaction message all the time cause I’m too lazy to respond to it using words

About 13

Entering 7th grade. So I’d say 13 or something.

And yet for some reason I spend a lot of time on Lemmy

That’s batshit crazy

I know there are more options out there but what I have is a synology nas.

I self host the nas at home and I can still access the photos and stuff everywhere I go.

I chose synology because even though its proprietary and a little overpriced, at the time, I was short on time to learn the inner workings of free operating systems and setting up all the certificates, ddns, ports, etc.

Ofc there are also other cloud providers as well, but I use the synology for jellyfin so I killed 2 birds with one stone.

Google office stuff > libreoffice

Chrome > firefox and librewolf

gmail > proton

Google > ddg

Iphone > grapheneos pixel

Youtube account > newpipe, libretube, grayjay with exported subscriptions

Google drive > synology

I think that covers about everything google specific.

Note: I included iphone because even iphones ping google SUPL servers whereas Grapheneos settings host their own servers to ping to avoid sending stuff out to google.

Doesn’t show your total on the Eternity app

I’m downvoting myself, cause idk man

I mean there are upvotes and downvotes so I don’t know what you mean. But there isn’t a real incentive to have lots of upvotes on here. I’m not even sure why karma farming even is a thing on reddit. Maybe cause you can sell the account to whatever guy wants to buy it?

You are on Lemmy, which shows that you weren’t deterred from learning about all the instances and stuff. So you are open to learning. So I would slowly dip my toes into Linux if there’s no Windows specific software you absolutely depend on.

I would suggest Linux Mint: https://www.linuxmint.com/

This is beginner friendly and for the most part can be operated pretty much like Windows. Slowly, you will get used to typing in commands into the terminal to maybe update and upgrade your system. Online instructions to install programs are widly available to find (install [program] on ubuntu/debian) can be easy since it’s based off of ubuntu/debian

Now, if you really want to use windows for whatever reason, everything is already on the massgrave website for you to read and install.

Linux will show you how to troubleshoot and use your computer more efficiently and not spy on you.

Windows will simultaneously spy on you and still shit itself so you’ll still have to learn to troubleshoot. Give it a few years, and Windows will enshitify further. You’re just delaying the inevitable.

Linux Mint is another flavor that is geared for easy beginner friendly people.

What do people use google scholar for? Use jstor and other specific databases like arxiv

Lemm.ee has been lagging for me lately idk if it has to do with all the new signups

What stock do you see will have the biggest gains

Create infinite energy machine

Y’all don’t need to keep adding things to lgbtq or lgbt+. The q or + takes care of everything
