Was it Hannah Montana Linux?

Yep that one.

Current windows versions auto-installing onedrive is a known phenomenon, as is MS using deceptive design (aka "dark patterns") to get users to enable sync. These days you can't just casually use windows... unless you spend the time to thouroughly disarm it, windows uses you. It does auto ...

What do you mean speak for yourself? I've stated a fact lmao.

Do you know many people who aren't using YT? Unless your friends are 70 or living in a cave, but even then they still probably use it.

Youtube has 2 billion people logged in every month.

I have a Lenovo T480 which I've bought only to use with my telescope.
It's utter crap compared to any Macbook though.

The only good thing is it's super easy to upgrade RAM and SSD.
But the keyboard and trackpad is

this OS was using about 48% Some OS's are using RAM for other tasks when it's unused. So I wouldn't look at the RAM used in task manager. Unannounced to me, my data was be uploaded to the cloud – to one drive. I didn’t understand what was happening...at first. Then latter I learned that MS’s Edge B...

Maybe post it on multiple sub-Reddits? with some screenshots/trailer of game play.

not using JS is impossible in 2024 unless you're disconnected from the world. Which is why I said "selectively", something you seem to have conveniently ignored. Beyond that, you appear to be intentionally conflating "I really like that every major function of the forum is possible w...

Also, if you think Debian is not the answer, I am willing to learn and hear feedback on recommendations. At the core of it all, its Linux! I would say you should try Fedora instead. I've tried many distros, and while Debian is nice it isn't the best desktop experience, the software is outdated and ...

Show me how you and thousands of users block Youtube ads Sure, just as soon as you explain in which universe youtube contitutes "most ads", as opposed to "google ads served on sites owned by google". Outside alphabet-soup most websites still serve ads from third-party domains, f...

This one does, and keeping it that way is the point. As for the garbage-fire that is the rest of the "modern" web... Selectively, with a configurable script and content blocker. Then again, most sites that don't work without extensive javascript or have a no-js fallback aren't worth visit...

Toolbar and Dock auto hiding since I'm using OLED as main display.
The wallpaper is also animated.

Thousands of users (as well as an applied elementary understanding of how the internet works) would disagree with you.

Did you have anything constructive to add?

Show me how you and thousands of users block Youtube ads for instance with your pihole.

I guess you like pain, or have something to hide… :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I guess you like trolling, or don't mind running random mystery code on your machine for no valid reason... As to the OP... Just No. This board is fine the way it is. The last thing it needs is some random web...

I wonder what’s the point of Pi Hole nowadays?
I mean is it different from using Adguard’s DNS?

Also you can’t block most ads by DNS nowadays anyways.

I think it's times for upgrade it. Please, no. It's fine without all the bloat and without buttons and dialogues that take up huge screen real estate. I really like that every major function of the forum is possible without running any kind of javascript. Are you actually using internet without JS?...

Have you tried the two native Linux alternatives to Firecapture? https://sourceforge.net/projects/qastrocam/ https://free-astro.org/index.php/Qastrocam-g2 Firecapture seems like a much better software. Have you tried the hack to the camera shown on YouTube which involves mounting a cooling fan on i...

There is a .deb download package.

I was just wondering if the laptop requires some additional configuring/drivers done.

Hi, I have bought a Lenovo L480 to be used only for astrophotography. Most astrophotography software is for Windows unfortunately but I wanted to give it a try. There is camera capture software called Firecapture: http://www.firecapture.de/ I have connected my ZWO 585mc camera and when running the p...

Windows 10 LTSC , finally Windows without most of the bloatware
