Yeah, have fun making stuff when the device you’re using to do so is actively fighting you

ok cool cool thanks! :D have a great day, and I’ll try it!

Don’t know how to do that, also sadly using windows.

I kinda know how to install pihole onto a computer, as in I ran the command on mint once, but I did it slightly wrong potentially

I don’t mean flood on user side, I meant spamming data scraped by corporate. If it’s too expensive for corporate to clean up vs how much it’s sold for, they won’t bother at some point. It’s already been stolen… That’s only true for the data that already exists.

Kinda like if you had a bunch of bots tied to the same IP as you, and you tell them to generate random searches, click random sites, etc, but never post/comment/vote on anything. They’re all tied to the same address, and at some point, it will be to costly to continue stealing data, cleaning it up, and selling it than it will be worth.

They’d either try and clean it up (costs too much, may potentially give up) or stop stealing your data (consumer wins)

I won’t spam online, but I don’t want corporate having scary accurate info/data about me. I’d only want spam going to corporate, not to people.

Do not worry about it, and simply try to not give them much from now on.

Fair, buuuuuuut…

If you hide as much info as you can, whatever info they can get (likely through illegal means) is going to be accurate. They may have less info, but it is all stuff you definitely did (unless you do both methods at once)

What I’m going for is more I prefer to occasionally waste some corporate time, but the user experience isn’t worsened rather than I will do whatever it takes to ruin megacorps

Either way, have a great day

oh thanks! It wont let me upload to chrome, but it’s probably user error. I’ll figure it out

So kinda like linux but not linux?

what is bsd?

ive heard of it, but not really seen or used it

I’m learning HTML and other stuff to make a webpage for fun. It’ll be really low quality probably, but it doesn’t have to be great, it’s for me.

Coding is not dead, and it will not be until the last people with a passion for it die, if not, later than that

you can change fonts on ebooks?

…yeah it does break sometimes. Right now my grandma has it on her spare computer, which is a potato, and she said she didn’t know it was linux on there, even though I told her when I installed it. It’s mostly used as a bootloader for the browser, and it’s dual booting whichever windows and mint

It doesn’t always work, I agree, but for some people it does what they need.

If it’s broke, I will absolutely try to fix it anyways, but not on anyone elses stuff.

I have mint as a safe distro, so if I mess up my stuff trying to use a distro I’m not ready for, I can take 3 minutes(ish) fixing it and hoping I didn’t wipe the bios or anything else important off my computer when I tried installing arch with no clue how.

A lot of beginners (like me) use mint because it is very simple out of the box and user friendly. It just works (unless, like me, you try using commands from arch on mint, and you break it)

Same here. Why do bologna and pony rhyme, but though and through don’t? And yacht has a ch and so on and so forth.

I before e, except after c, or when it says “ay” like in neighbours and weigh. Weird.
