A publicly traded company is legally obligated to be evil.

Gen Z, I mourned Reddit for 30 seconds. Now I'm here.

I have a second-hand Thinkpad T480s that I love, I bought it for 250$ on ebay and replaced its battery because it was fried (+40$). I use it for school and it works flawlessly, around 8h of battery life in a well-configured OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. According to the specs sheet it shouldn't be, but for some reason it is noticeably lighter than a friend of mine's MacBook Air 2021.

What I really love about it is the ThinkDock Ultra (iirc 30$ on ebay), which lets me place the laptop on my table, and by just sliding a piece of plastic, it connects all of my peripherals in a second. I love this laptop so much that I'll use it until it dies so hard that it can't be fixed at all.

What you need to do is clean the dust off of your fans and ventilation filters (check guides or figure it as you go, but make sure to disconnect the battery and the fans from the mobo as soon as you open it). Then, repaste it with good thermal paste or some . I have liquid metal (thermal grizzly condoctonaut) on both of my laptops, and one of them which had overheated since day one, doesn't anymore.

I have completely stopped using reddit as a social media and deleted all of my content; I only use it for if I have to research something, and I make sure that they get no money because of my visit.

Iirc material files has it.

Gimp3 now has a roadmap, maybe it brings some improvements for you.

--Not legal advice-- Except they can't do clean-room development because copyright is viral. If they had access to the copyrighted source, any code they write on the matter, if it coincides with the copyrighted one to some extent, can be pursued for copyright claims (IBM v. Microsoft). For example, when there's a leak of Windows source, ReactOS devs get super scared, because it really puts them on the line. Another example is Nouveau, which can't accept anyone who has worked at NVIDIA. That being said, the company was not intending to do anything with it, so they can't claim damages; ergo, OP is completely safe.

Like locking myself out of my system completely because of a typo in pam.conf?

One of eevees' evolutions (glaceon, the fairy one, or the grass one) in a symmetry axis.

-- Not legal advice-- If you have evidence that it got scrapped for good, even if it's copyright infringement, they can't claim any damages. They, at best, can DMCA GitHub, but you're VERY unlikely to get sentenced guilty in a trial (in the event of one, which won't ever happen because they know).

Just sideload the ota, no need to go through so much trouble.

Studio One is coming to Linux. It is imo one of the best DAWs.

I use YAMF for having proper floating windows on my tablet. https://github.com/duzhaokun123/YAMF

Can you try grapheneOS as a last resort? I get almost 2-day battery life on it in my 6a.

Oh, true, you don't get previews of the windows inside. However, that shouldn't be very hard to implement, so you might have luck if you ask for it to be in Plasma 6.

Família link (which does all that and more) won't work unless it has privileged access. Life360 is even worse than google, so no talking about that. I don't know what to say, if he's just into location stalking; then you can just use google maps to share the location, but elsewhere, you'll need to find some trustworthy MDM service.

I prefer the T480 series (imo Thinkpad went downhill from there onwards). The non-s is a great off-road laptop, but for what OP is asking, the T480s seems like a more sensible choice.

No, they're plasmoids with the background removed.

Fixed.

Google says it uses AI and Machine Learning in the selfie camera of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro to ensure secure Face Unlock on the phones.

Without IR? That's so sus...

I use noteshelf on my tablet for quick n' dirty notes, and then I write them down on obsidian so they're tidy.

You might enjoy more Fedora KDE or Linux Mint.

KDE plasma has it natively.

That'll depend entirely on your workflow. For me, it's already good enough, but I don't need much.
