What in your opinion is the worst Linux Distribution ever made? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I actually have really fond memories of Sabayon, the community was really nice. It also served as a good gateway into Gentoo by giving you a pre-configured usable system, including its binary package manager, but also gentoo's emerge (not that you should use both at the same time).

How can I protect my privacy when using Google Classroom (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello everyone,

As the title says, I need to use Google Classroom for a class I'm taking with my local school. I didn't get a choice in tooling unfortunately. I have in my private life cut google out, not having used Gmail in over a decade, using Youtube through invidious, OSM instead of Google Maps, etc.

I'm already planning on using either Firefox multiple account containers or a different dedicated browser for school stuff entirely. Is there any other advice you have to protect my privacy as much as possible?

I'm in the EU and I know Google is more limited in the data they can collect from educational uses, but obviously I don't trust Google.

KDE Itinerary gained the option to share locations via the Matrix protocol, so making sure NeoChat can actually properly handle this as well.

Privacy Search Engines in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Just looked it up since I was sure I had read they had their own. On their wikipedia article it says:

In its early days on the Internet, the Qwant search engine relied on Bing to provide more relevant results. In 2016, Qwant claimed to be increasingly using its own results from its own exploration robots. It is still at the status of hybrid engine.[89] In 2020, Qwant claimed to have exceeded 50% of independent results for web searches, and 70% for all researchs

so I guess it's both bing and their own thing.

Agreed, it feels like it's a strong signal they don't take privacy seriously.

I think Qwant does too, right?

Problem with a community on another instance (sh.itjust.works)
 

I found and subscribed to https://sh.itjust.works/c/sverige@lemmy.helvetet.eu yesterday and when I view it on sh.itjust.works I don't see any posts but on the original instance I'm seeing many posts.

Does anyone know what's going on there?

What distro(s) do you use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] pumpkin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I'm a opensuse tumbleweed user on my desktop and laptop. I also have an ubuntu home server.

I really like tumbleweed, but I have been thinking of switching to an immutable distro like guix or nix. I've tried guix several times and found it pretty good, but never stick with it due to its lack of KDE plasma support. Maybe I should give nix a try.
