Started playing with Linux in high school about 15 years ago and have gone further and further down the rabbit hole as both Linux has become soo much better and I have become so much better at using it. Been working with Linux full time for a few years now and Windows feels so foreign and difficult too me now.
Only reason I still have Windows 10 on my gaming PC still is that I game so little that I haven’t been gaming much in the last few years.
Glad to have you here!
NRK in Norway changed from license to tax funding. It’s a good change, the licensing was getting absurd when they wanted everyone either with access to nrk.no to be required to have a license.
Forgot to mention, for app store I try to use Obtainium when possible, then F-Droid, then Aurora store. Only uses Play Store for work apps.
ProtonMail for mail Nextcloud for cloud, self hosted. Here wego and Mapy for maps, but I still have Google Maps as a fallback:(((
For search I’m using a combination of DDG, Qwant and Startpage.
Web browser: Vivaldi and Firefox, Brave and DDG as backups. ProtonCalendar for calendar
Still using Google Android on my daily driver so haven’t moved contacts yet, but really looking for some recommendations!
Apparently my task list is an app just called Reminder, haven’t thought about it for years
Don’t really do office stuff myself much, but if I do and it’s just for me I just use any text editor (even Vim) and if I collaborate it’s almost always some Google Doc :(((
Messaging is still FB messenger and Discord, but I’m trying my best to move my best people over to Signal, it’s not a battle I think I’m gonna win any time soon tho.
Lemmy and chats for social media. Antennapod for podcasts. Qobuz and Bandcamp for music.
For youtube I just run the site in either Vivaldi or Brave on my phone without logging in since they allow for background playback (might have to change a setting for it to work), but I mostly just stopped watching TV/screen content for completly different reasons so 😅 I also host a Jellyfin server with some films.
Bitwarden for passwords. Only use VPN for work, haven’t seen any compelling reasons for having my own, but if I did I’d probably use Tailscale or Wireguard.
I have been testing e-OS on an old Samsung S9 for a few years and that’s a great alternative to Google Android, it’s on my list to consider when I feel like I can defend getting a new phone.
It’s FB Messenger for me. If I could move some people over to Signal I’d be golden, but alas. In many ways I’d prefer to just leave all the Messenger group chats behind and move on, but too many people I care about don’t care to get away.
Foss means waterfall in Norwegian from Norse fors. It doesn’t see any use in modern Danish from what I know, but there might be a link there considering that Danfoss works in fluid control equipment, pump, seal, valve manufacturing, climate & energy
I was actually thinking that I should look for something like this earlier today! Thank you friend
This is my first comment, just joined during the weekend. It took about half a day to get used to the lower amount of stuff and the slower pace here. And I really like it! The quality of discourse here seems so much higher and with the lower amount of posts I find that I can take my time and not get overwhelmed. Should have joined years ago :-)
You need to make it fun and engaging for them. That is what the far right is doining. You and I might find it reprehensible, but they het som much traction bu having fun and giving young men a purpose and the feeling that they are doing something to netter themselves and their commuity.
How you go about that I dont know. In my local area we are focusing on having fun partiets and going out together as a group instead of just being political nerds in our own little grottos. Som far it seems to be working.
Tl;dr: Have fun visibly and invite them to join you. It takes forever, but at least you have fun while doing it.
