It isn’t clear that Britain’s carving up other peoples’ countries to make new ones ever worked out. Why would this be any different?

Search how to poison the well. Choose other wherever possible and lie about the rest. Get creative. I’ve done my best to make FB think that I’m a 7’ 4000-yr-old gay Amazon warrior princess.

Because Amazon doesn't see people as people. They see people as a resource to extract value from.
This is exactly why “Human Resources” offends me to the core. I am a person to be valued, not a resource to be managed.
At some point turnover could surpass a population's ability to absorb it.

I sync across devices by saving the notes folder to Nextcloud and pointing all clients to it.
I hear you about finite brain cells. I had a group of international students several year ago who ran Zorin on their laptops. As the tech coordinator for our academic department, I tried to learn enough to help them out. But it was apparently the first thing I flushed after they left. :)
Thanks for the warning. I’m looking to replace my Inspiron, and the XPS series seems to be a contender.
I’ve had a couple of issues with the Inspiron (the hinge broke just after the warranty expired and the keyboard has a busted spring that blocks five keys from working), but it also lives on my backpack for teaching, so I probably can’t really complain.
I prefer Mint for ease of installation and use. It comes in Ubuntu or Debian flavors.
I also have a RaspberryPi that runs Raspbian (Debian based, I think) and a tiny Linode server that runs Debian. Honestly, I tend to go with the easiest or most lightweight, depending on hardware.
I’ve never used it, but it seems to have good recommendations. Honestly, I just rip out the HDD/SSD before letting the machine out of my sight. That’s the only method I really trust.
For wiping before a Linux install, I usually use gparted or the installer’s tool.
Dell also sells computers with Ubuntu installed. And I trust Dell.
That said, Ubuntu isn’t my favorite flavor, so I’m likely to wipe it and install a different distro no matter what.
This is the real answer. Any organization that can’t be arsed to communicate professionally using grown up channels is not one I’m going to be associated with anyway. Use email and Messages like normal people. Leave FB to… whoever uses that garbage.
