you can’t convince companies that are profit driven. They follow whatever is the best decision for profit, which is clearly not letting you delete your account because they would’ve done that earlier if it led to profit. This assumes full efficiency on the side of the company but if they are large enough, that means that they are efficient enough to beat the competition already.

normal people just call internet speeds wifi speeds though

there’s no harm in clarifying

people on lemmy know but people on lemmy aren’t the general public

i like it but i think beginners should start out with" just works" distros

The banners are so good

arch makes doing complex things easier though

didn’t know about this, I’ll definitely try it out

huh, I thought ddg had its own indexer?

startpage was fine for me

I’m like 99% sure this is Apple’s deliberate decision to make it so companies with confidential data throw out their computers rather than recycling them

Yeah, the new standard Sandisk Ultra are really good. I can’t comment on the other variants, but the Ultras are really fast, cheap, and reliable in my experience

hd 4000 gang rise up

Linux on the t430 is such a smooth experience though

if you’re changing all your passwords and switching to Linux anyway consider using a free software local password manager like KeepassXC, I use it along with syncthing and it’s great
