I have a breville bambino plus for the past 3 ish years which also uses a thermoblock. I like it. Lower power draw at idle, no preheat, works like a charm IMO.

Yep give Nobara a shot if you’re going to reinstall anyways. Bet you’ll change your mind

I don’t know, they have to monetise somehow. Paying for the convenience of sync seems like a valid path especially given there’s fully functional alternative syncs available for free.

I just use syncthing with logseq and it works fine…

Yep sounds like firewall issue to me. Allow the ports eric mentioned in his comment thru firewall and it should work

Seriously… enough of this “oh well its not that bad, atleast we can still do this, or that. Maybe blockers will work but with less features, etc.”

Fuck that shit

The extra [API] functionality already allows uBlock Origin on Firefox to work better than the Chrome version.

Always has been.

Tired of getting fucked by chr0me and g00gle? Stop spreading your cheeks and just use Firefox (librewolf, mull, et. al.) and uBlock Origin.

Simple as.

Seems to be doing it in the relevant community in an unobtrusive manner… I don’t see an issue with getting the word out like this to like minded people

And years of not fully supporting Linux.

Another way to put that is actively pushing/encouraging their “privacy concious” clients onto windows spyware if they want to get the service they paid proton for. Can’t be private on windows folks.

Not privacy focused at all IMO, its all privacy theatre and proton is just money focused.

I was looking at these too a couple days ago but cheapest option is like $500USD without batteries, camera, radio controller, etc. Half of them are so expensive you have to call for a price and shit.

Not exactly beginner pricing IMO when you may just crash it anyways

Satisified customer here. Bought 2x lifetime plans for myself and my partner

np, glad it helped

One sticky point that took me a bit to clue in to was you need to login to an x11 session not the default Wayland. Unless sunshine has been updated to support wayland, this was about Feb I discovered that.

To change just log out and select x11 in bottom left corner of the login screen. Dont forget to switch back next time if you arent using sunshine

$19 USD/year for micro now, $90USD/year for mini

KISS launcher on minimal mode with nice icons and a geometric weather widget for me. Been rocking it for years and its amazing

Check out logseq for journaling. You could easily make a #mood page/tag and it auto organizes it for you

Having tried both popOS and manjaro I’d urge you to skip my trail and error and check out Nobara from the get go. Always found little naggling issues until I found Nobara

Hmm you’re thinking Open Office which was the predecessor of libreoffice.

OnlyOffice is a different product

I do this and would not recommend for someone with arthritis. You have to have a strong grip to keep the hand grinder from spinning

Holy fuck I hate HOA’s/condo boards

Could dual boot your laptop or run windows in a VM as someone suggested. Onlyoffice was what finally solved the office compatibility problem for me during school. O365 is online anyways and works on Linux…

Replaced gboard with a FOSS keyboard without internet access on your phone? I use and like AnySoftKeyboard.

Are you on stock android or a privacy friendly ROM? That’d be #1 on my list. I use grapheneos on a pixel 8 and would recommend. Whether you have google apps on your phone or not they have access to everything you do on stock android 🤷‍♂️

Either way I think its important to recognize how much you’ve already done, and not stress about what you can’t change yet. You’re already more private than 99% of the general population and you aren’t in school forever. I was in the same boat with a windows partition on my laptop for a couple windows only programs for school (online test invigilation can be a bitch for compatibility, windows in a VM generally doesn’t work I found), but school ends and that partition is gone now.

TL;DR You’re doing good, don’t stress if you have to keep some stuff around for school, give onlyoffice a shot, look into privacy friendly ROMs for your phone.
