May I ask how would the "Kids Online safety bill" differentiate between an underage user and adult? I'm not from the US so that's why I don't know

Wow, that sounds horrific. Glad that this was a temporary thing.

Still better than FB Messenger, that's really popular among the youth where I live.

The standard version of Linux mint is with Cinnamon. Desktop environments are basically how your desktop looks. Cinnamon looks similar to Windows, and Mint is newbie friendly, so you will have no problem moving.

A lot of us understand that if you type anything in a computer it is assumed to be on the public record either easily found or through a few hoops to get it.

The problem is that nowadays your medical documentation, banking and other sensitive data is all transferred through a computer. And it should be protected and private.

 

And prevent trackers, the official app uses.

I've looked into ecosia and they store IPs for a week to "protect ourselves from spammers". They encrypt your searches, use Bing for results and ads, but they filter the "annoying" ones. I think they are pretty good overall.

Don't they take search results from bing?

Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong

 

I was using DuckDuckGo for some time, but heard that there are better alternatives. I'm confused, because DDG is used by default in TOR browser, and other privacy respecting browsers (ex. Librewolf). Can you guys recommend any other search engine, and tell me why u recommend it?

Or, is DDG enough?

I use ClamAV to scan files (🏴‍☠️) I download from not so trusted sources from the internet, you don't really need an antivirus for Linux.

Try ReVanced it doesn't have the shorts button, and you can remove shorts from your home feed.

 

Servers cost money to upkeep. So owners of big instances could start posting, ads, pin them and ban other users posting ads or delete their posts. This is obviously almost the worst case scenario. I feel that it wouldn't happen in the near future, as Lemmy grows to become a larger platform. I haven't seen this type of ads on Reddit so is there something stopping this?
