I actually have really fond memories of Sabayon, the community was really nice. It also served as a good gateway into Gentoo by giving you a pre-configured usable system, including its binary package manager, but also gentoo's emerge (not that you should use both at the same time).

Yep, I'm in Sweden, 30 and both know how to and do drive a manual car.

Hello everyone,

As the title says, I need to use Google Classroom for a class I'm taking with my local school. I didn't get a choice in tooling unfortunately. I have in my private life cut google out, not having used Gmail in over a decade, using Youtube through invidious, OSM instead of Google Maps, etc.

I'm already planning on using either Firefox multiple account containers or a different dedicated browser for school stuff entirely. Is there any other advice you have to protect my privacy as much as possible?

I'm in the EU and I know Google is more limited in the data they can collect from educational uses, but obviously I don't trust Google.

My last phone I kept for about 5 years. I had two issues:

  • software support had ended
  • the battery was severely degraded

fortunately there was a local shop who'd replace the battery (it wasn't a fairphone so I couldn't do it myself). If it wasn't for the software support I'd have gone that route and would be still using it now. It worked perfectly well for my use case. Unfortunately, I ended up retiring the phone and getting a new one.

I've found this too. Generally if I'm okay waiting for the answer I'll try and find the relevant lemmy community and ask that question there instead of clicking the reddit links. There are times though I simply need the answer and so of course I do click the reddit link.

Even so, if we all try and ask the questions we have here Lemmy will eventually be the place you find this information

I used it a lot, not through Google's gchat stuff, I ran my own XMPP server. It worked really well, I used the OTR encryption plugin in pidgeon. My work also used to use xmpp for internal chat within the company, however they switched to matrix like 5-6 years ago. Something I've since done personally too.

I like XMPP a lot, it worked well, including it being federated.

You can see all your rights when flying on the europa.eu website, it's a really good resource. As Jacob said though, it is 3 hours before you get compensation.

I've just used Itinerary for a few flights I needed to take and it worked really well. I love these really high quality mobile apps KDE are making!

I don't really read news in English anymore, but when I did, I subscribed to the economist. I found most other news sites were too biased and ignored most of the world.

Kmail on desktop and the native sailfish email client on my phone.

I just want to say that I really love this app, thank you for you're great work.

Yeah, I use ublock origin. I don't like the ad model and many ads on the web are privacy invasive. I'm not averse paying for content (something I'm doing for some of it) but I won't watch ads to fund creators.

I live in Sweden. Yeah, the tap water is clean and can be drank straight from the tap without boiling, filtering, or treatment in the whole country.

I'll go first. I've used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I'm currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg's but at least I'm planting trees, so there's that.
