Never gonna let you down

Linuxmint 21.3 on a budget nvidia gpu, the mx series, and intel i7 10th gen

If onlyoffice runs well on this gpu, libreoffice should also be as fast. no?

I use onlyoffice.
No idea if OnlyOffice uses .docs as a default for popularity or because of a shady deal.
But Onlyoffice allows export to open formats like .odt

I would like to use Libreoffice, but the UI is sluggish and horrible, at least for me.

Ah, it makes sense, ddg browser uses builtin webview, of course it is lighter.

You can keep using DDG app protection, but you can reduce the battery usage of tracker control by going into settings and disabling "find new trackers"

This option finds and shows you the trackers each app has, disabling it will stop finding the trackers but will continue to block them.

I’m curious to see how long I can keep it out of landfill. I’m trying for 2028, as a personal challenge. That will be almost 10 years out of a $200 phone

All the best with that.

Good for you, that's great.

But have you tried TrackerControl ? It can restrict internet from apps, and block trackers.

I heavily recommend it, since you can also monitor and block system apps .

DDG App Tracking Protection isnt as effective, but it is extremely easy to use and breakage is minimal.

As for the DDG browser, I only use it when the website I am visiting doesnt work on firefox.

I just read the conversation, that's crazy.

If it happened in my repo, I would just not respond and report the user.

Haha, thanks for exposing yourselves!
Their logic probably was like:
how can we make our users trust us?
How about we tell them that we can view the footage of any ring camera for security purposes? They will love us! They will think we are the ones whom keep this earth safe! We will be their saviors !

Very happy to see it backfire.

The same thing with muslims and immigrants.

IMMIGRANT SAYS BAD WORDS TO AN AMERICAN!!!
"MUSLIMS" ARE BEING RACIST WITH TRUMP!!!

reading such headlines are enough to convince someone to change their opinion on something.

This is a very common problem unfortunately.
