Slightly wondering whether this is a roundabout way of creating Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities. “Hey community, we are adding support for ad enabled streams. Would be a shame if you hated that so much you wrote some ad blocking plugins.”
Battery replacement will also boost your CPU performance, it’s worth spending a bit of money on it.
Running PopOS on a 2012 Macbook Air and Fedora on a 2015 Macbook Pro.
Potential common pitfall used to be having to add the Broadcom wifi drivers separately - I had to add them manually for PopOS but Fedora worked out of the box. Honestly PopOS + Wayland totally saved the old little Air and it’s a fantastic machine to use.
You may have to start using some free third-party tools for built-in features that work on the Mac.
I replaced iCloud keychain with BitWarden for password management. You can use Beeper for iMessage - it’s one of the few things to actually support it. iCloud Drive can be accessed via rclone I think but it might be terminal only - mind if you can get it to work via terminal then you can mount it as a folder. You can use Cider as an Apple Music client. I haven’t yet looked into Calendar and Contacts sync with iCloud but you can always export those and import in your software of choice on Linux.
Depends on how you define private. It’s not “private” in the sense that it is accessible to the public interner. It is only more privacy-friendly in the sense that say, unlike Facebook, there is no need to use your IRL ID data, there are no weird algorithms baked in, and no targeted ads. Nothing would keep 3rd-party scrapers from profiling your posts that are public, but at least by default it’s not evil.

Nothing. The fleur-de-lis is a commonly used decorative symbol, it was used as a symbol of chastity and virtue before any families adopted it for themselves. It is mostly used as a symbol in connection with the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Joseph
I mean it even harvests typing data and Outlook also includes calendars etc… It’s really bad.
But yes, I just suggested a re-evaluation of the use of Microsoft Outlook to my company …
Depends on your sector of work. Imagine you’re a therapist or a lawyer…
Hard work and dedication.
“The Grayzone” - yeah bye
Actually I totally forgot 8.1 existed. 😀 Same here in that case!
