Also, nowadays the situation is even worse because young people don’t even know what a file is. They just open the apps.

I’d also add the tip of installing a Windows-looking window theme. People just want the classic window buttons (X for close, etc.), not some fancy icons.

I agree.

I used to love GNOME in the v 2.0 era, but after 3.0 it’s been a whole shit show.

I don’t agree. It’s just because you’re used to drive letters.

I think Linux filesystem is better organised. Everything is (almost) well organised in the right folder.

And then the back button in your browser can’t take you back anymore.

I highly suggests all Ubuntu users to use the vanilla Firefox version downloaded from Mozilla. It’s way better because it’s not a Snap package.

Thanks for asking! Dying is the solution for everything. It’s the best solution. Humans must die for a variety of reasons.

I envy you, because my 2019 MBPro has fans always spinning and it seems slow and bugged, especially with the latest macOS.

Maybe I should just try formatting, but I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.

+1 for Fossify, great set of apps.

Only some countries need VPNs. If your country doesn’t care about piracy (e.g. Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe) just don’t bother paying for a VPN.

Is it stable yet to use it? I’ve seen it and it looks promising, but it’s also under active development.

Add a private torrent indexer and/or Usenet and it’s perfection.

PurelyMail is a great and cheap service. It’s like $10 per year. You just set up some records (MX and TXT) on your domain provider and that’s it.

You could also self-host email, but then you need a server that’s always powered on and it adds much complexity, so I suggest to use a managed service instead.

The good thing about using your own domain is that you’re not tied to any service. You could migrate to any other provider (such as ProtonMail, FastMail, etc.) without ever changing your email address on all services.

In Italian, butterfly, bowtie and the kind of pasta are all called “farfalla”. Which has come first, though?

Sommerfugl (bird of summer) in Danish :)

And still uses the old meme faces.

But there’s no real alternative to YouTube.

And no, using a proxy service is like using YouTube itself with uBlock or whatever.

SponsorBlock also comes by default on SmartTubeNext for Android TV.

Pro-tip: apps can’t ask for leaving a review twice, so if you press yes and then go immediately back, it will never ask again.

And SmartTubeNext if you have an Android TV.
