I can’t really give the best advice. A while ago I went through some things and decided to avoid all my friends. I remember, decpite my decision, I really would’ve loved if one of my close friends reached out. Idk about your friend though, everyone is different. If I were you I would definitely reach out. Make them understand that you really care about them.

Its nice to know im not the only Linux kid. It felt so weird, most of my friends didn’t even know what Android was. It sucks growing up tech savvy when most people call themselves nerds after discovering “air drop”.

I installed Linux for the first time at 14.

Don’t downgrade to Windows 11, update to Linux

Thats because they treat it like a toy, not a tool.

I am completely against addictions, including those like algorithmic social media. I am also against people who dont understand tech blaming it instead of blaming the real problem. If we just took a second to understand it we would understand how to use it responsibly.

Fucking conservatives in my opinion. Its not a bad way of spending time, its different. It has a different set of advantages and disadvantages. If you’re too stupid to understand it, just stay away from it. But don’t ruin it for the open minded people who are open to new ideas.

Kids will grow up around the idea that there is no freedom and their superiors (e.i. the corrupt companies) have to decide their rights.

I drink on average four to five mugs a day. Now I know where my anxiety comes from. Thank you

TikTok sucks. I knew it from the start. Now im struggling because I cant get any of my friends to leave it behind.

One or two companies are going to influence governments so much they’re practically gonna write laws themselves. Probably Apple or Meta. Luckily, this will likely only affect the US because our government likes to spy on us too much and will bow down to these companies.

You just changed my entire perspective about school and useless subjects. Though that also counts as common sense, don’t make absurd assumptions about things you don’t understand.

Sorry sir, I think that laptops illegal now

I am opposed to the way its being used but also opposed to banning it. I think schools should teach how to use it responsibly, not lock people into the Google environment.

I want someone who shares my hatred of apple and companies in general. A fediverse user who is smart and has common sense. On top of that I would also like someone who doesn’t mind that im socially awkward and terrible at one on one conversations.

Which is why Plasma is better

Its because the recommended is literally ads. Microsoft is putting ads on the start menu. If that cant get someone to switch to Linux, nothing can

Dolphin is the best file manager of all time. Both linux and windows.

Unfortunately, most people these days aren’t that smart.

Like other people have suggested, maybe get a second phone (one of those really cheap ones with play Services) and use that for that stuff, and keep your main personal phone google-free.
