The guy who made the Backblaze software said it was already done and was easy for their standard client to work with Linux but never got rolled out because Linux users are power users. I wonder if that is the real reason when it comes to Proton. It’s not unlimited but maybe there is some power user use that they anticipate and don’t want to deal with.
Do you feel similar shortcomings from lemmy compared to reddit?
I apologize for not having more to add. I just find it interesting to see what others feel who swapped to mastadon and lemmy.
Unless gaming and using multiple monitors. That was my experience after a couple of months. Fedora, a few weeks in, has made things lot smoother. Otherwise though, Mint was great and with further Wayland I could see me use it again.
The bastards barely started selling it a few years ago. I feel like some responsibility should exist. It isn’t a company that is going under, so it shouldn’t be able to just casually kill the devices tied-service it only recently sold.
As someone newer who has only used Ubuntu and Mint, what do you get elsewhere?
It looks more like multiple companies were needed to pin the individual. I don’t expect any company to not comply with legal requests. My understanding is this is why it’s important to know what information a company retains.
For my own use, I have used Proton just to mitigate being a source of ad info and to get better service. I’m not interesting enough to overthrow anything.
All of my local gyms in my last 3 areas have been super pricy. Like $75-$150 a month. It may not seem high, but when you can get a franchise membership for $10-$30, it’s a hard sale.
I have had luck with specialty stuff though. Yoga is common to have discounts and decent pricing if that’s anyone’s jam.
Good app but they got bought and immediately upped their price by a lot from what I recall. It’s why I moved on. I think it was a more than 3x price hike in the US and as much as 5x elsewhere.
Shame because their desktop option is tied to that subscription. I couldn’t justify paying that much just to swap phone/desktop.
Is € 251.88 the estimated loss in revenue? I would like to say that it only makes sense if you assume the user will be on the platform either way, instead of just not paying and leaving. However, my experience with others makes me believe they will take whatever option to get to what they want.
I think it’s a situation for policy but, at least here in the US, our policy makers aren’t in the ethical or learned position to be effective.
What I’m saying is, the boat has holes and I’m concerned.
I’m using Mint and new to it. Does the Mint app store have more security or scrutiny? I’m cautious as most things are lucky to have one or two reviews listen. Many are zero though and it’s not quite clear to me yet how to tell if things are from an official source or if they had review.
It’s tough. Most gamers use it. I only recently was told about alternate clients but I don’t know which yet.
I was happy with Mumble and forums, but I completely get why it feels outdated to others.
Oh snap!
Haha
I’m not knocking it, but I feel like you really wanted to use this image somewhere. 😁👍
It’s an ad. Same with the offers to save for whatever the latest sale is. I’m already paying. Ya got me. Leave me alone.
Does the cloud gaming work pretty well? I’m trying to consider how to move my main rig to Mint, but also not lose my three years of game pass. I think dual boot is likely but feels purpose defeating haha.
I got this email. It’s just letting me know to re-download manually. If you are worried, go to the website without clicking any links included in the email and download that way.
This is it’s strength in my opinion. Libre isn’t great if you just want it to work coming from a Windows environment. I’ve tried quite a few options and this was my go to, it had far more of a friendly time with Word documents then Libre or others. Although I will say W3 was probably nicest but their sketch past of looking at people files and their local laws made me delist from my comparison list.
Sorry I vented on you lol. WPS Office is one I liked a lot but I learned they are following local laws and so have had instances of invading privacy when using any cloud connecting aspect. It made me not trust them even outside of cloud use. It’s very very well out together though. I wish it weren’t something I felt insecure using because it is really nice.
I consider Only Office to be my goto at the moment. I still have more to try though, more obscure ones. It has only bugged on me once when I resized the window a lot, greeting me with an all white window with no UI.
Libre I tried a lot to make me love it. It just feels designed by someone who wants to make a point against MS. I did also try a complete overhaul to adjust the UI a lot but even the functionality of it just doesn’t seem to do as well when working closely with MS Office users.
Why is Libre Office always the goto? I’ve been trying every MS Office alternative and Libre is way down on this list. It doesn’t compare. In my searching, I even found video of the creators seeming more keen to (rightly) blame MS for compatibility issues. Meanwhile alternatives just work with the reality and reduce differences in exchanging files from the world’s most common option. Plus, and this is more personal, Libre Office is dog doo ugly. Ditto for Gimp.
As someone newer to Linux, people really don’t emphasize enough the need to find alternative software that fits into one’s life. It’s all fine to say it’s all just new setups and once you learn them your good, but most world interactions with tech that isn’t your own will be Windows. Why fight the stream when you Don’t have to? There are lot of alternate Office programs is what I am saying and some are almost as good as massively funded MS Office.
Can you share the steps? I was just under the impression it was not a thing so that they didn’t see email content.
