Ha, yeah. Checking has just been part of my daily routine forever. The comment section is a dumpster fire, though, so I just skim the headlines each day.
Also mildly infuriating is if you try to grudgingly load the mobile site in a desktop browser, it just redirects you back to the crappy, non-responsive desktop version.
Pop OS is an Ubuntu derivative developed by System76 (who make a range of Linux laptops). It uses a customized GNOME that has a window tiling plugin (among other things).
I’ve only run it for a week, and I like it. I was hesitant since it’s Ubuntu-derived and doesn’t fully protect you from The Snappening, but I’ve worked around that and am really enjoying it.
It’s like free collective trauma-dump therapy for us recovering Reddit addicts. I can’t wait for the “1 year since I dropped Reddit” kind of posts next year
This is what inspired someone to create the “block number” feature on phones. Wow. Sorry you’re dealing with this person. Hopefully they will quit this soon
If possible on your phone, I recommend filtering instead of blocking. If you can set it to auto-archive texts and not send notifications, then they won’t bother you but you’ll still have the texts on your device if you ever need them — e.g. as evidence for police.
I’ve never used Arch. Honestly I haven’t used linux a ton. I’ve had Ubuntu and Mint on and off. I’m re -setting up my PC for a linux OS. Any reason a plagued windows user would choose Arch or Mint?
Edit: also want to hijack this post for linux talk ;)
Use whatever distro you’re comfortable with, unless it lacks the features you need. I prefer Ubuntu MATE, but I use Arch because the official and user repositories generally have the newest versions of everything and I don’t have to mess with PPAs.
I agree with this. Also, vast majority of distros come with an option for live environment from the install media which makes it super easy to test drive a few flavors before picking. I bought like 8 cheap 16GB usb drives and then made a not-so-short list of distributions that people were talking highly of. Boot up each one, tinker around for an hour or so, see what it comes with, how easy it is to get the desktop environment the way I like it, what hardware it sees and uses automatically, etc. I landed on Garuda for now, it's new and exciting but not so scary unfamiliar. I've tried Mint, Manjaro, Kubuntu, Zorin, Drauger, Pop!, and Debian. I wasn't a fan of Pop! personally, but honestly found a way to like all the rest pretty comfortably.
“Yeah it’s just this really obscure 90s band from Seattle that no vapid 25 year old girl such as yourself would have heard of. Sad story actually, the singer blew his brains out.”
