I would honestly find it very difficult to believe that there wasn’t going to be some telemetry, data / etc sent back to the mothership. I know in the marketing realm Apple caters towards “privacy”, but who’s really validating those claims.
Granted…I’m also very tin-foil-hatty about my data and retain it all locally with offsite backups. I tore down my Google Drive / cloud data about 2-years ago.
Makes me miss Colorado.
Good ol’ surveillance capitalism, agree the ship has sailed. Seems like its becoming harder to avoid all the little things that are constantly spying on us. Seems like 75% of my neighborhood have ring cameras.
Whatever happened to being able to egg someones house in peace. Feels bad for all those kiddos not getting to experience that.
^ Exactly this! Looking over the questions there’s a lot with impulse control. As someone with severe ADHD (inattentive) with a dash of ASD impulse control isn’t one of my strong features, which skews the results.
Agree, if you have doubts or issues that a qualified professional can help get to the bottom of it.
Moto G Stylus (2021) user with no screen problems here. My only gripes is Motorolas shitty update policies and lack of custom rom support. Guess I can’t complain for a sub-$200 phone.
Non-developer searches seem to work Ok. I honestly havent tried that much. It seems like most the time I do engage with Phind its usually code related. Its become a pretty good utility for debugging.
Strip out any sensitive bits, paste it over asking the questions and or presenting the error while running usually results in figuring out my mistakes (or at least gets me closer).
I’ve patched on to Phind(phind.com) a bit more lately and for the first time in a while thought that i would absolutely pay for it if the service can remain the same.
I’m all for paying for services that make sense for the better of my own data. I’ve been running a SearXNG instance for a bit though. I’ll likely check out Kagi, as SearXNG hasn’t been too quick to return results.
MicroOS user here. Honestly I love the workflow of using distrobox for about everything I need.
Essentially I have distrobox images setup for specific development workflows. I just hop into the one that is suited for the task I’m doing. It automatically sets up icons in the Gnome menu if you don’t want to use the cli commands.
Between flatpaks and containers I couldn’t be happier with my setup. Combine that with the fact I can potentially trust the underlying OS to not crap the bed via updates (and when it does I can roll back my filesystem snapshots) is a win/win.
My Pantum P2500W has been seamless across many distros. Its a cheap little laser printer that costs usually sub-$100.
