I disagree, I'm an engineer and I prefer it over not engineering positions. My only ragret is not keeping up with coding since it was my favorite subject in college

For being part of meta, Instagram is relatively good (Instagram let's you pause suggested post, can easily modify your algorithm by telling it what not to show or what to show, can skip ads, for now, and it's the best way to see good tik toks without going to that site), so it was just a matter of time it got enshitified

I wonder what they'll do with WhatsApp next

Do you? I don't own any apple device but I was able to reset the password on my very old account to use apple tv+ on my LG TV

Samsung's replacement is $90 if done at a service center, so it was more expensive to buy the parts (because they included the screen for some reason)

Looks good! I'll give it a try this weekend, thanks!

Edit: I just installed it, it looks great! I find it very funny that one of the apps I was worried about was the HP scanner and it worked seamlessly on mint without installing additional drivers or apps so I can stop using that stupid HP app

Edit2: I also found out that my windows installation (system, drivers, updates, other files that I cannot delete safely) takes about 70Gb out of my 250GB SSD, even after running many commands to try to clean it up

It's a laptop with i3 gen 11, 12GB RAM, and I mainly use it for browsing, torrenting and watching movies (4K, connected to a TV)

I think I'll do the same. I wasn't switching because of compatibility but I realized that there are only 1 or 2 apps that don't run natively and I don't use them that often

Which distro do you recommend? I haven't used linux in a while, I usually went with ubuntu but I think that's not the go-to anymore?

Of course they do. They sell them equally expensive without the expensive ingredients!

If it opened on the default browser it would be several times less infuriating, but clicking on anything by mistake and then waiting for Edge to open with all the prompts because you never use it makes me furious

My last name ends with ar so I tried to get a .ar domain to setup a personalized email but it seems like they are reserved for government stuff, I was only allowed to get .com.ar (last time I checked this was about 4 years ago)

No need for safari, I use that option in chrome and firefox. I created an account just for lurking and use desktop mode and it "works", at least it stopped bothering to get the app or restricting content because I wasn't logged in
