So, Windows 10s EOL is near and if your pc is 2016 or older you might not be able to update. Do not throw your pc away, it is perfectly usable, just install Linux

hey i know the programs are a bit clunky sometimes and the obsession with linux is a bit annoying but after seeing pretty much every big tech company fall in line with fascism maybe the open source guys had a point

pretty sure the fascist dystopia will have unskippable ads

I've been testing 'bat' recently. It's basically 'cat' linux cli command that adds some formatting to make things more human readable. So far, 2 thumbs up! 👍 #linux #cli github.com/sharkdp/bat

If you haven't used Signal (signal.org) or haven't used it in a while, here are some features that may be selling points besides being Open Source and End to End Encrypted:

1) It's free!

2) Cross compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. Fix green text bubbles and broke group chats.

Signal Messenger: Speak Freely

Say "hello" to a different messaging experience. An unexpected focus on privacy, combined with all of the features you expect.

We've implemented a system for notifying users when apps use the Play Integrity API. This will help users determine which apps are banning using a non-stock OS. Some of these will still work if they only enforce basic integrity rather than requiring a Google certified device running the stock OS.
