Hah, no. The only time people think of us sysadmins is when something is broken.

As someone said in your other thread, you’re using a quote in the title that is not in the article. It doesn’t mention anything about losing satellites.

I hear a tiny violin playing.

I personally don’t think e-readers have improved drastically. I also have a 3rd gen Kindle keyboard and recently went through updating all the unlocks and screensavers I set up more than a decade ago.

While I was going through that it got me started thinking about them again. The only thing I think would be a big improvement is a light and more storage. I would also like to read manga on it. For those reasons I’m currently considering buying a Barnes and Noble Nook Glowlight 4 (or Plus) since it runs Android and you can install custom apps (like Tachiyomi for manga reading).

If your current Kindle is still doing the job and you don’t find it lacking, I don’t think you’re missing out by not upgrading.

You can look at images/posts sorted by tags, but there’s generally not a huge community there.

At this point it’s mainly Lemmy, Imgur, and Discord for me.

It supposedly uses Bing and several other search results while suppressing content mills. I’m open to using anything though, DDG just happens to be the more privacy oriented one I went with.

Move to Firefox (or any non-Chromium browser really) and use a different search engine that’s not run by a giant corporation. I use DuckDuckGo.

Seconding a used Thinkpad. They are plenty modular/repairable compared to other laptops. I’ve got an X270 and it’s a great little machine.

Speaking from experience here. I’ve done this on over a dozen different computers with zero issues over a three month span. It was part of a proposal for transitioning our company computers to Windows 11 while cutting out the junk. None of them had any problems running without Xbox services, Cortana, bloatware games, activity tracking, etc.

We ended up using Microsoft Intune for restricting Windows 10/11 to our standards. But that’s not really available for consumers and debloaters are safe to use instead.

Not new to Linux, it’s literally what I’ve been dealing with for work for the last decade. I just meant that I moved the last of my personal machines away from Windows.

I have run into zero issues installing packages from other places. The snap store is a bit annoying but not a big deal. I’ve been on and off using Ubuntu since ~2005 so that’s why I went with it over another distro.

If it’s your own machine, I recommend running one of the Windows 11 debloaters.

I’ve moved all of my personal machines over to Linux (specifically Ubuntu). Windows just isn’t worth it anymore.

Same. Even if I did want to find answers there, so many people have deleted comments that it can be useless at times.

Only if I’m researching something and the top results are Reddit links. Otherwise no.
