Is the problem just F-Droid or the whole database? I’m using Droid-ify.

Windows already has a rootkit on your computer. It’s called Microsoft CoPilot and Recall. Giving up things that hurt you shouldn’t be hard, when there are far better alternatives to Windows and EA.

We elected someone for president who literally embodies ALL of the Seven Deadly Sins. I’d say the AntiChrist is already here.

‘It had a wild effect on women’

I suppose “revulsion” counts as a wild effect.

"There is no evidence that the data is being sold to third parties . . . "

Don’t be naive. Of course it is.

Media needs to be mercilessly mocked for doing these, “was it sabotage?” videos.

Trump says something stupid? Sabotage.

Lies about something easily disproven? Sabotage.

Does his “jerking off two ghosts” dance? Oh, you better believe that was sabotage.

I’ve got 2 Brother printers that work just fine with Linux Mint, the Brother L2640 and L2685. They’re both black and white toner cartridge printers that use either wireless or a USB cable connection. I print maybe a dozen pages a day on both printers and replace the cartridges ever 4-5 months or so. I can get third party replacement toner cartridges on Amazon for around $25 for a 2-pack. Replacement drums are about $25-30 every 3 years or so.

Congratulations! If you feel you need further tip on safe driving habits I would start with

• Assume that everyone else on the road is a total maniac who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
• Don’t drive faster than is safe for current road conditions (rain, ice, fog)
• If you see a bunch of car taillights light up ahead of you, slow down! There’s a reason why they’re all doing that.
• Check out youtube videos like, “Idiots in cars.” There are plenty of examples there of what NOT to do. :)

If you’re still on the fence about switching to Linux, try downloading a Live Linux USB image and booting it from a USB stick. This lets you try out Linux without changing anything on your Windows drive. The Live version will also let you see if Linux detects all your computer’s hardware before you install it for real.

I recommend Linux Mint for beginners.

Anyone who thinks Charlie Kirk was just some nice Christian who loved the First Amendment needs to get MUCH better sources of information than they currently have.

The 5-layer burrito is delicious and it’s only $5. It’s a bargain, even with the extra meat option.

This. Also, get a VPN service, like Nord that’s preferably not based in the US. Also, Microsoft is literally installing spyware on your computer already. (CoPilot and Recall). They would have NO problems turning over your computer data to the Trump regime on their whims.

“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk

Another vote for trying a live distro. If the live version detects all your computer’s hardware, it will detect it when you install it for real.

Ask yourselves how people typically become informants for the FBI. It’s not because they are fine, upstanding citizens.

Dear MAGAs, the GOP told you they were going to screw you to death. They even created a step-by-step guide (Project 2025), detailing exactly HOW they were going to screw you to death. You. Got. Told.

This is what happens when you treat politics like WrestleMania.

AIs aren’t capable of figuring out the ethics of what you ask them. They just tell you what they think you want to hear.

“I’m thinking of doing (obviously horrible thing) because it will make me feel better.”

AI: “Well, that sounds like a wonderful idea.”

“But if I do (obviously horrible thing) horrible consequences will happen.” (explaining that the thing is BAD)

AI: “Well, you clearly can’t do THAT, can you?”

The only reason Trump went to the Wharton School of Business was to take advantage of his draft deferments, which kept him out of the Vietnam War. (Trump got 5 deferments, one medical and 4 educational).

He apparently didn’t learn much while he was there, because his professor at Wharton (William T Kelly) has said, “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”

In the news, Trump wants another birthday parade, as well. Good luck attracting tourists to DC during The Occupation.
