Pay to play? Finance to FOSS.

We had shootings and my locker-mate died in a motorcycle accident. This was in the 90s, so… the usual by today’s standards?

All of them at once: SearXNG.

It aggregates results from whichever you select.

This is not a good side hustle. This is pain. Pure, unadulterated, pain.

Yup. No-one (non techie):needs a specific Linux distro. They’re all easy to use for normie activities once installed.

Debian. Used to use others but realized they all just added crap I didn’t want, or could add myself with a simple script.

I was a Slackware then Fedora, then Ubuntu as my daily drivers (whipe trying other distros, or Kali for specific purposes) before settling here.

Go to the source. Debian.

Chinese or American? This might help: https://youtu.be/RGG7d49C__0

They also have a video on making your own tiles. Crafting a set together could be a fun and rewarding experience, and could compliment a nice purchased set.

If you live on the line, or move north/west, it’s now “you all”.

Be local. A voice at a local meeting has the potential to have more impact in your life than your side being president. This is why my feed will start in 2-weeks, vs 4-years, no matter how much I want to keep that filter on 😀

Lemmy, though I admit two days ago I put on political filters. I’ll open the flood gates again in a couple weeks.

That being said, before Lemmy I hadn’t used main stream social outside of Reddit for years anyway.

Depends on you definition. I run OpenPilot in one vehicle.

Prefer?

Loved Eureka. Just a fun show.

Albany, NY. Surrounded by places like Troy, Saratoga, the Catskills, the ADKs. But it’s just… Albany.

Some outside what others may say. Depends on what you’re trying to make private.

Self-hosted Vaultwarden/BitWarden, SearXNG, and Firefox Sync. All things missing from your list to privatize the web.

Signal/Matrix for chat.

Organic Maps when you don’t need traffic for privatizing location.

Self-hosted Nextcloud for file storage.

And Obtainium (and gam for Linux) to break away from the stores themselves.

Hah, yup, that’s me, too. Sorry it didn’t work out, a team have done some updates to it that may work now, unfortunately I’ve never been able to get a hold of them.

I think they did a decent job. They report on compatibility for those that want it, but demonstrate it can be a Google-free experience. The fact that they also recognize they tested on an older device vs glossing over that was appreciated, too. Any journalist willing to install Ubuntu on their phone is probably going to be a bit more reliable to begin with, too.

Bit of a plug, but use gam? https://github.com/fmstrat/gam
