Linux Mint is the common suggestion and a solid option.

I tried a lot of distros myself and I’m 10 months into switching to Linux. My personal suggestion would be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Thanks. I’ll check it out. The downloaded files were 35GB for 1080p resolution. Don’t know what the hell it was doing.

Synology NAS. I think it is a DS220+ or something like that.

You can make a DIY NAS with an old cheap PC. Or pay a premium for Synology and they make things a bit easier (although setup can still take quite a learning curve if you don’t know about this stuff).

I’ve used Mailbox.org for years as a service that replaces most of my Google services at once. I know you just asked for email and Mailbox is worth checking out.

1. Mostly Lemmy/Reddit/social circle recommendations

2. Download

3. I used to download directly to my phone and watch there. Then I got a NAS and started copying from my phone to the NAS. Then I set up download software on the NAS to have it always on. Then got Plex set up. Then the Arr’s (although these are janky and I end up doing a lot of manual additions).

4. Plex

I would highly suggest getting a NAS and playing around with it. Self hosting is complicated, but I got it as a “dumb” network drive on my LAN. Then slowly I started adding on different Docker containers and added to it. Each setup was a painful learning process of errors and troubleshooting, so don’t try to do everything in one go.

You don’t even need to be a pirate for self hosting. You can buy dirt cheap physical media on eBay and rip it to make a pretty huge personal library on the cheap.

Lemmy as a Reddit replacement.

Facebook - pseudonym account solely for FB marketplace.

Do YouTube and WhatsApp count as social media?

Libertarians

Disappointingly, a lot of good webcomics use Instagram or Twitter and don’t have RSS access.

Fortunately there are still plenty of good ones

We have Linux workstations at work…and these can only be used to access a remote desktop of a Windows 10 virtual machine. 👍

How long till the 2 typos come together to make “worm retards”

I don’t know anything about iOS, but I use FB on Android for the marketplace. I keep a prepaid sim card for giving a phone number to accounts like this. I throw away the sim every few years and burn the accounts and make new ones. FB is used from a browser in a seperate work profile on the phone to keep it isolated.

This sub obviously has a strong reaction against FB. But if you need to use it then put up what defended you can and go for it.

It’s no loss

You know what, I am having a good day.

Tits Ginormous is my favourite clothes model. He does amazing work.

Do you have friends from different socioeconomic backgrounds?

No. Most people I come across scoially are through education, job and family/friends; and all these places have a preselected population in a broadly similar socioeconomic class. Some friends started from a lower socioeconomic position and moved up, but are now in a comparable position to me.

do you wish you did

Yes. I wish society as a who wasn’t so stratified. I wish everyone had opportunities and the experiences of people from different social classes wasn’t so alien and unrelatable (which would be the case if there were equity in society). I’ve known people from different socioeconomic groups and their company and experience has enriched my life…but an ongoing friendship hasn’t been maintained somehow.

how do you think it would influence your perspective?

I’d like to think I keep a pretty broad perspective even now. I do see and support very different people’s personal lives in my work. I would really wish to have everyone on equal fitting as mentioned above.

Where does such a culture exist?

If we keep using the current version and it never gets any updates, will it keep running the whole Switch game library.

My wife’s HP laptop does this as well (she is running Windows). A previous laptop did this and a BIOS update fixed it. For most laptops the official response from manufacturers seems to be: eat shit.

The screams of disappointment can get really loud.
