same here, same time period. everything works. one have to be aware there’s no adobe or autodesk and linux is not windows same as osx is not, and it will not look or behave as windows. beside specific issues for some users, for me it works flawlessly.
one thing cannot grasp is willingness of so many to dual boot.
so you have to decide: you want websites inside their own window with a nice icon, or you want to get ridd of ads.
if the first is imperative to you, the choice is simple. watch ads.
true. adding https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps to Obtainium installs latest version of 27th July without issues.
feel the pain of work environment where you cannot add any addons.
the most clicked No Thanks button in my environement.
I can totally feel that sudden clot in the gut the moment you realize on which drive the action is happening, just by reading this.
try to install FossifyOrg gallery and dialer via obtainium who pulls releases directly off github.
dialer app is released too.
there are forks of code before the sellout and the releases are already out. use fdroid or obtainium. https://github.com/fossifyorg/
same thing happened to me. talked about very specific health-related topic, didn’t googled it or anything, the next day instagram came up with ads for the very same specific health subject.
for a start, you can check instagram’s permissions (and facebook of you use it, it’s meta too) and disable access to microphone.
however, that leaves whatsapp which is also meta and mic is more of a neccesity than insta/fb, but in my case, haven’t seen weird ads for subjects i didn’t typed into any devices since i disabled insta mic access.
(aside of social network’s disinformation, conspiracies, hate breeding and false news) this is prime example of what the internet ended up as, to a regular user: how-i-experience-web-today.com
thanks, ordered!
i welcome merging two triple-dot menus into one, according to screenshots.

word was that most of other instances on .ml top level domain had free domains, which the government took away, while lemmy.ml was paid domain and not a free one, so it’s still alive. but we’ll see.
in worst case they will migrate current server and config to another domain.
habit and practice. op himself said he believes gimp can do wonders, but he’s migrating from adobe and is accustomed to photoshop’s shortcuts, ui and workflow.
imho, people go wrong expecting same experience in different application. yes, gimp works very differently but when migrating, one should count on different ui and logic. afterall, ps also have learning curve in the start and none complains.
it’s similar to users migrating from windows to linux, expecting same windows ui and workflow, blaming linux bad.

first thing i faced while distrohopping before i settle with fedora, is the instability of nvidia on linux.
it was short path to decision to spare myself of waiting for driver fixes, googling for driver statuses, waiting, posting questions, messing around, switching this and that in hope for better stability, getting frustrated in the end because wherever i search for fixes, there were posts about same problems with same subject: nvidia.
stable system throughout distro/kernel/driver/system updates is hugely more valuable than having GTX Ti 90000 inside my system and it was a very short bye bye.
since i ditched nvidia card and went for amd one, my system just works, it’s been years, I’ve never looked back and very honestly, i couldn’t care less about never ending stubborn struggle with nvidia.
Threads app today is flooded with tons of obviously false news posts about Zuckerberg and Meta like zuck is dead, zuck is gay, zuck is californian arsonist, zuck sold meta, zuck is trans - all kinds of nonsense shit people posting, with pictures, because okay yeah, the US doesn’t need fact checking so lets blow it up through the roof then.
And its the perfect response to Meta’s bending the knee and bootlicking.
