And if you are going for anonymity on the web you will be sticking out like sore thumb if you block something. Being anonymous works best when you are hiding in the masses, what you want is alot of computers reporting a similar setup, then if is very hard to pinpoint who’s browser belongs to who. A good example is never using the Tor browser in a maximized window, because then your screen resolution is an fingerprinting factor.
I guess they could, but you will have to consider the purpose for getting meta data from the visitor. Most of the time it is just used for styling purposes to enhance your experience, blocking JS completely breaks alot of websites today’s because they are often rendered using Js based front-end frameworks. Look for a JS blocking extension, try out what works for you and spend some extra time tweaking it for websites you visit often, then you don’t have to rely on a specific browser.
That’s logical in a way, I never thought about it that way 😄 I understand that you weren’t, I hope you can find a solution for her!
That’s what would have done! But that learning curve would be even steeper.
Thats one way to read it 😄 but at least retired
Research papers in creative cloud? I am guessing she is using something like InDesign or illustrator to make pdfs or maybe Acrobat? I think you need to clarify what her workflow entails to get better answers.
But going with my assumptions, it sounds like she can get away with using some kind of Office suit instead, maybe 365? not that it would solve the enshitification of apps problem… But I do consider it a stable program both as installed apps and on the web. There are also endless tutorials and support to get if she is running into issues.
With that said, it is probably not worth it if she is a boomer. It would take a long time to get into a new workflow and it would affect her output. If she is used to adobe she should probably stick to it.
Thank you for the nice write-up. I agree that it is great and whatis very impressive. Also to see old hardware not going to a landfill. I have definitely “fixed” up friend and elderlies computers by installing Ubuntu, and more lately I tried fedora silver blue for a friend. And I too have second hand ThinkPads, a P53 6 core, 64gb, rtx3000 and a t440 and then my work machine is a xps13 (not secondhand). It runs great on all of these and linux is a real workhorse.
I think my point of view come from windows “techies” that seem to be completely oblivious to Linux outside of running it on a Raspberry pi or the like, and linux is only as a way to “save” a computer because windows can’t run on it anymore. To me, Linux is a first choice for server, workstations, home use, gaming… really anything, but I might be biased… like most of us in this forum 😅😉
I can recommend running it on new hardware. I love that it runs great on old hardware, but it is a bit of a disservice to Linux distros that people always experience it on raspberry pies and other old laptops or otherwise relatively slow hardware.
Linux on a brand new hardware is insanely good.
Edit: software => hardware
I think you know exactly why they hired her 🍑
But how is it feasable to smoke 80 cigarettes per day! A cigarette takes like 10 minutes to smoke if you don’t huff like a dragon. 80 cig x10 min = 800 min = ~13 hour smoking per day. You would not be able to keep any kind of job with a smoking schedule like that… Except maybe onlyfans…
Two things you need to answer to get any relevant answers. What is the budget and what is your required spec and software stack.
I assume you mean the clear plastic around the pods that gets sticky when you touch it with wet hands. Relevant YouTube short with Hank Green https://youtube.com/shorts/mm997MpLNeA?si=ZdBiX7ZTjbpLQMLS TLDW: you don’t have to worry about this kind of plastic it is water soluble and turns into water and carbon dioxide when burned I believe.
Yes I am worried about microplastics in everyday things, for example drinking water from my tap. I am also worried about using plastics for anything food related that is heated up. As such i have removed all plastic containers in our kitchen that would be used near or with heat. Any containers remaining is only for cold foods and dry storage.
I still think these channels are very technical. Using jorgon that is completely foreign to someone just strictly using their computer to get work done. I am pretty deep into the different topics and even I had have to look up what they talk about.
I think you have found a nieche to fill. Problem is when you don’t really deep dive the topics or it is strictly educational, you might get bored if you are a somewhat technical person, that is not a great recipe for a YouTube channel. You will probably also have to remake the videos as software gets updated.
Also most viewers är linux nerds. The average person don’t spend all day at a computer at work just to go home and ‘work’ more by spending time watching a videos on how to work more. That means you should probably target companies and organizations directly with your content, that could be a hard sell if you expect to make an income.
With all that said, I like the idea and even if you only make a few videos you will probably learn alot, try it and see how you like it!
The company i work with allow any OS to be installed. With a caveat, because we are heavily invested in the Windows eco system using office 365 and Microsoft Dynamics Nav and sql server, Ms AD. With that said, if you use that software for more than 50% of your work time we recommend Windows. But otherwise it is still the employees choice and if you are completely comfortable running windows in a VM, go for it. IT won’t give you endless support if you have too many issues with your VM. If we loose to much time and you are not proficient enough in macOS or Linux then we just give you a windows machine.

Yes, and often incomplete or not maintained.
Anyway, OP read different sources about OOP and still needs to ask the definition… At some point it is better to just do something than to keep banging your head at the theory. If learning to code is your endgoal
You are right. But I still find the ‘heavier’ theory, that is what I assumed OP refered to, to be more difficult to grasp then following a basic tutorial and just trying to solve problems. In time with practice you get a better understanding for WHY the theory is how it is, and you can apply it better and of course improve your code. And that understanding will unlock more tools both in OOP and in your mind.
So if you are struggling, I recommend not starting with theory.
Use it for a while, to complement your theoretical study. Things will only become clearer when you have your own understanding and opinion about it.
