This is a good question. What will the new bar be once the current “old people” are gone?

Maybe the trope would be people who are too busy to fiddle with settings, like a super busy CEO or something.

Yes. I think you might like this article and other musings of this guy https://robertsaltzman.substack.com/p/im-a-different-person-now

I’ve been using Silverblue as my main computer for a couple years now and love it. It just always works and is super solid. I layered on distrobox for any other software so I can pretty much run any Linux software ever needed and it’s cleanly organized in containers.

Nextcloud News I like for RSS since it fetches the full text article. Obtainium lkke others mentioned is a must have for me.

All of that info is already available for anyone who has a government ID or census record

I guess Triangles. Most of them are too complicated but I guess they suit the KDE experience

Sorry I don’t understand what this means. I am not a computer whiz but just like the simplicity of typing things versus navigating menus.

I liked East of Eden by Steinback. And Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.

I would love to only use the computer in tty but would be hard to edit images in GIMP. Or do you still launch GUI apps directly from tty? Most websites are an abomination viewed through lynx or similar.

I’ve listened to every single episode of his podcast for years, bought his books, and honestly his material was kinda life changing for me. Went from using Facebook and Apple ID everything to using Graphene OS, Linux, got friends and family using Signal, masked cards, VOIP numbers, etc. I’m sad to see it go but I understand sometimes it’s time for new chapters in life and wish him well. Maybe one day someone else on staff can create some new episodes.

The openboard fork with the swipe function is amazing.

Wow. I’ve been self hosting wallabag for articles and Nextcloud News for RSS. But I see Omnivore does both in one app and looks more polished! I’m going to try it.

You are lucky. My mom used the same dishes we used ourselves for the cat food and would rinse them off in the sink with a sponge. And she used a different dish every time so no bowl or plate in the house was safe. Made me feel icky eating dinner out of a cat food bowl but she thought I was strange for caring.

We had an “automobile hairdryer.” On school mornings after I took a shower and was being driven to school, I would lean my head up towards the dashboard and have the A/C blowing full blast to finish drying my hair. I would do this every morning in elementary school. Probably not very safe now that I think back on it.

I’ve had this happen with iCloud. Deleted stuff from the server and then it keeps coming back. There was a problem device not getting the memo to delete and kept re-uploading the data. I had to sign out of my iCloud account and sign back in my devices to fix it.

Yes and it sucks when you live below loud neighbors that are constantly making noise, stomping, and yelling at each other and you can’t escape because you’re in your own home.
