Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

I have a 12 year old CAD workstation that won't run Windows 11, but will run Mint just fine.

‘Amazing’: Queensland mum uses electric car to ‘save’ son’s life with dialysis during power outage (www.theguardian.com)

An electric vehicle owner has used her car’s emergency power system to run her 11-year-old son’s lifesaving dialysis machine and another has ridden to the rescue of his neighbours after devastating storms cut power in south-east Queensland....

Yeah, I did this for the last hurricane that knocked out our power. $10k worth of meds in our fridge for two of our kids had to stay cold & I didn't have a generator yet. Now I have a generator & a solar battery kit.

I've never seen a fellow citizen that was older than 9 eat rice w/ ketchup.

It's butter, salt & black pepper in the southern USA, at least.

Zero contemporary evidence or accounts for anything religion or miracle related in the Bible.

It's quite literally historical fan-fiction.

I love Firefox, but if you have a non-rooted phone, DuckDuckGo is better.

95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.

The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.

Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....

My browser (Firefox) is configured the same way.

No issues with your search term here. I think you have gremlins.

Anecdote, but all of my friends & family members that depend on me for computer support have already stopped using it. IT at my company has also decided to stop loading it with their install images, because "ads are known attack vectors".

Duck duck go also runs it's own vpn which is great if you can't root your phone.

I also use it at work and it really sucks. I also have Chrome on my work computer, but for everything work-related I have to use Edge. Like E-Mails and Sharepoint-Stuff.

That's a decision your IT department made. I use Firefox with all of that at work.

100% agree. People saying this are either GOP shills or people that don't understand how math & game theory work in relation to FPtP voting & think they can make a 3rd party happen if they want it badly enough.

Linux users are the ones spreading F.U.D. now. We really have come full circle.

Jealousy destroys Reddit, news at 11.

I'm not. Ads quite literally don't make it past my HOSTS file or UBlock Origin.

Reddit feels like it's gone back to 100% normalcy already. Was the protest a failure? (beehaw.org)

I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual....
