Bank card. Never used or want to use anything that collects my payment information.

Data risk to benefit is minimal with these type of apps.

And if you're dual booting with Windows and shared data?

I used that, an update twice prevented the DE starting up. Went to Kubuntu and OpenSuse TW. Both are far superior and just work.

If the people you know and care about use it, you don't need WA. Plus, it trains them in it. You cannot always change the world, but you can change your part of it.

I got my family and partner on Signal. I don't care if they use WA. I don't have to. They seem confident with it now.

Weird. In the UK, they give freely tan generator or use a text to send code.

I have a Pine phone convergence edition that came with Manjaro Plasma. I installed it on my PC so I could easily dev for it. Updates twice broke the phone complaining about a login screen lock. On my PC, 2 updates broke it as it wouldn't start up the DE.

I have used Mint and Kububtu without issue but I don't like Snaps. I now use OpenSuse as a simple rolling distro.

You may have used without issue, but that is not the experience of others. Devs have complained about them distributing non-master branch features that weren't sufficiently tested or released and got their issue tracker flooded.

They are a really questionable distro quality wise. One of the worst IMHO, and considering they are aimed at new users, it's absolutely cruel to use them.

You may love it and great for you, but people won't give you free reign to advise a bad distro that is going to ruin Linux for newbies when there are better alternatives available.

I used to use it. I updated and twice on mobile, twice on desktop, it broke my OS. I wouldn't touch it again.

Mint is great. Your specification is quite restrictive and will potentially open you up to suffering. Mint doesn't use snaps so not sure why you'd want to avoid.

Ah well. Never used it and have no desire too. A lot of hype seemed to be astoturfing.

"Guys, I needed a poo, and I opened chatGPT. It is so good. I pood faster and more effectively than I ever have before. OMG!"

Does those banking that have apps not work in a mobile browser? In the UK, they seem to.

You can get cleaner art if you just wipe out neighbours and replace with your own through bots. Working together and building together is on brand for Lemmy. I prefer human flawed art to robot perfect art.

The canvas started slightly too big, but the end goal was epic considering.

!MineClone2@Lemmy.world is there.

I, a Brit, helped. No regrets.
