Don’t worry. If you upgrade to a premium plan, you won’t be eligible to get any discounts anymore. Nothing offered to existing customers even if purchasing annually.

Thanks, I’ll dig into that one sometime!

In my experience, not much, but I’m a marginally functional newbie. Mint manages things for you fairly nicely and has been the best, it just works with out messing with much/anything. (At least for my hardware)

I managed to get gnome working smoothly on mint and have been happy with it. I started and returned here since I last ditched windows as a native OS.

The only thing that has made me consider distro hopping from mint is AUR on arch and gnome, though I’ve been successful so far.

Part of trying the distros that are more advanced and give you more explicit control and configuration is the sense of accomplishment and it makes you figure out how and why things work the way they do. It holistically builds your velocity in your understanding of Linux. (Or gnu whatever that nuance is).

If your machine has enough resources it is super easy to host VMs of anything you want to try. You can try them all, and it won’t cost you anything but time!

Kagi has been the closest thing to the google from 2003 that I’ve encountered in a long time. I’ve not tried their assistant that’s only available on the ultimate plan as it’s too expensive for me. FWIW, I have the duo plan, soon to move to the family plan.

The quick answer usually works pretty well and you have access to fastgpt if you want more of the LLM effect.

Completely agree. I understood WebKit to be a different browse engine than chromium or Firefox.

While chromium and Firefox have wider platform options, there’s “kind of” a 3rd runner even though locked to apple.

I agree Linux and open source is king.

I was thinking WebKit was closer to Netscape in origin.

You made me go look it up. 😉 and I think we’re both wrong…. (Here’s my edit…. Poster above is right. I read it wrong, so only I am wrong on the origin of WebKit)

Below from Wikipedia:

WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS software libraries from KDE.

On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome

A or C is a connector type. There’s different versions with different speeds.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

Chrome was great, till it wasn’t. IE always was bad. Edge is chromium.

Firefox has stayed closer to “don’t be evil” than many companies. Is say far more than the other options.

You nailed it. It’s a part of the solution and shouldn’t be a weapon. Trust, guide….verify. You’re raising a “being” hopefully with the intention of being a self sufficient adult, not an over grown child. We have to help prepare them for this world.

I log DNS on all devices. This helps me see if stupid stuff is happening, or if somehow the refrigerator managed to obtain an internet connection.

So why can’t Kamala attend the debate without him? It’s be like a fire side chat with a presidential candidate. We could hear more on the platforms without interruptions or hearing about what was on tv in Ohio.

He’s welcome to come too, but I’m sure he’d rather skip this free advertising time.

Sounds like you need to write an app to do this. It seems you want to aggregate data from multiple sources, keep secret, then send.

I’m tech inclined, but not a developer, lots of low/no code solutions should let you get pretty close fairly easily.

I’ll bet you could use a jobs site to “rent a developer” and it wouldn’t be too expensive.

Or find a 3rd party to collect and schedule the email.

I think my email service does something like this, though I don’t use it.

I settled on recipe keeper. It supports many platforms. It’s a one time purchase (per platform) and it has the ability to import from websites.

Print your business cards on them.

There’s also the xbrowsersync extension if you just want to save and sync bookmarks.

I may be a lost lemming though based on the community…
