that being said… what’s a good website i can at least go to and learn some linux basics and progress to more advanced stuff? i’d at least want to check that out before i start bugging people…
i had the opportunity to take a class back in college but 18 yr old me couldn’t handle a 7am class and know-it-alls in the back always interrupting the teacher and trying to show off in class…
lol no kids…
that’s the thing… by me saying talk to kids… im saying address it all… i’m looking to educate them, not shelter them…
if/when i have one, i’m telling them this world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows… here’s how to make the smart and wise decisions…~then i’d hand them their baby bottle~
i’m wouldn’t be looking to curb curiosity tho… that’s not natural at all… instead i’d be looking to address it head on…
i’m telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing… share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it… and reprimand them for treating it as such.
they’re still going to do it… but at least them knowing that i’m well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.
wildly understated too…
like… middle school kids today navigated mobile devices with ease when they were toddlers…
they’re gonna know what a vpn is before they leave high school.
we’re just better off addressing the issue head on than trying to band-aid it… it won’t work
or you know… talk to your kids
😆 😆 😆 i apparently missed out on a lot!
oh wow i don’t remember that part. i wouldn’t be surprised tho.
good ol’ justin tv lol… i was one of the first few streamers on it… i know that sounds hipster and all, but i miss those days… i got in trouble for streaming family guy and games that didn’t get released yet 😂
they’re so shockingly inept, i can’t believe it anymore
exactly this…
i started out in firefox back in early 2000s… then made the switch to chrome and never looked back…
im not the biggest google-groupie but for me to make the switch, google really had to f up in my eyes… and they did
i will try graphene…
i’ve had issues where my screen goes dark during calls and i can’t wake it up, when calls come thru, i don’t see the caller id until like 3rd or 4th ring, people can’t hear me when on speaker, it chooses what volume different apps chime in at ( this has gotten me in serious trouble with alarms)
I like Keepass - Password manager housed in an encrypted database. (dont’ lose your master password)
i’m using it from now on
snapchat director mode?
not samsung… 😢
i’m at a standstill on deciding which phone to purchase next. i currently have the pixel 6 and i’m actually disappointed with it. the phone is too buggy and im tired of google’s bs.
cool man, thank you and @NoMoreCocaine@lemmy.world for the helpful repsonses… i’ll check out the dual boot option… also i wouldn’t even mind using a remote access tool to access a standalone windows based pc if i really needed to… im getting tired of their ship
curious… as someone who primarily browses the web, and works with apps like adobe creative suite, office 365, and zoom… could i still use linux comfortably?
im willing to pick up on new ways do things and i wouldn’t even mind if i had the ability to switch back/forth between OS’s using the same computer (is that possible?)
a piece of history i wish i could pull up and remind myself how far i’ve come in web design
thanks. i have a laptop i deliberately installed debian on… but that’s about it lol
i’ll take you up on the support suggestion too… i recently had to figure out why a unix server went down at work. luckily we had a set of scripts and commands archived from the manager that supported it before he left. all i did was just run them with a little bit of logic and context applied, but it forced me to poke around a bit and seeing what each command did. i was careful enough not to break anything but i found it quite interesting
