there are everywhere and everytime excaptios
and yeah like instagram and whatsapp. every update makes the app worse. google assistant too

i already using many alternatives for myself. but for work and hobbies, i still need some of those google apps or social media platforms

it depends about which applications they are and how securitx affined you are. but as a normal user for most apps this is ok

I dont really use critical apps on my phone and on some important apps, i cant use them until I update them. So theres not a big risk or danger for not updating them. still there are some apps i update often but for the big all, twice a year must be enough

Hey thanks for the comment!
The plugins don’t get maintained by me, they’re getting maintained by the Grav team. I’m not very good in PHP too.
I plan to create an issue on GitHub if I know more and probably identified the code causing the problem.

Every shortcode is a PHP class and looks like this:

<?php

namespace Grav\Plugin\Shortcodes;

use Grav\Common\Utils;
use Thunder\Shortcode\Shortcode\ShortcodeInterface;

class ClearBothShortcode extends Shortcode
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->shortcode->getHandlers()->add('clearboth', function (ShortcodeInterface $sc) {

            // Get shortcode content and parameters
            $str = $sc->getContent();

            $output = '<div style="clear: both;"></div>';

            return $output;

        });
    }
}

with that, it should be possible to only call these classes.

I’d just import it as TwitterIcon

1. using an ad blocker. personally, i use ad blockers for years and when i work on a friends laptop im shocked how much ads there are actually. i cant count on a hand how mucn i told my father he should use ad blocker browser and extenstion. and he wont do it. recently, i changed the DNS server on a router level to nextdns, where it blocks ads and trackers. he told me its amazing how smoother the experience is now

2. password managers. as an IT specialist i have about 300 login details for many services, personal, work and clients. every login has its own password and eventually email too. and i know sooooo many people who forgot their passwords (they have about 3 very similar ones but ok) and try them all until they find out they had to creat a new for that specific service. and they are so unaware about the dangers (for example fishing, SE, …) with this method.

I’m using Brave cause I love and need Chromium. Firefox and Vivaldi are great options too.

You could use a PiHole or nextdns.io too as a DNS blocker against ads and trackers.

Had to do these to view some Twitter/X post a friend sent me: I don’t have an account and visiting the link redirects directly to login. So I created a new account with a temp mail. Then I had to solve 10 of these riddles. After the 10th there was an error message that I cannot use this email or so. I asked my friend for a screenshot afterwards. I had a loooong day and it was very late in the evening. I never ever do this again. Shitty SM.

I started using linux by setting up a dual boot: using windows only for things I couldn’t do at the time on linux. That were gaming and some apps only supported by windows After usig it for some time I now have everything on linux (or an alternative) and uninstalled windows. Still in the process of figuring out some very specific stuff like you with your Quest, but someday I just couldn’t have it with windows anymore.

There are a lot of ressources online and some distros are really great for gamers/ newcomers. Just give it a try and some time. You will have to learn some things like you had to with first using windows.

thats why i formated the windows partitions on my laptop last week

for images, i use squoosh.app. it is a webapplication and not a desktop app. it can compress, convert & resize various image types. it is opensource and running offline (locally on your computer). github

I use Manjaro btw. with a HP printer.

YES, it works! (I just don’t print)

I use Manjaro btw

I like to tell IT newbies in their first year apprentice that sudo rm -fr / removes the french language from the root, since in Swiss Windows, french comes as second keyboard layout and sometimes you accidentally switch and nobody likes it.

Somethimes their first linux is a VM, lucky them, but not always:)

i will never hear “alpha male” the same from now on.

but you are right!😂

Great idea for when you start in IT! Always had trouble first year in my apprenticeship when i had accidentally opened vim. Ask for first time and after 2 months not used.
