Aegis looks great - I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!
This looks pretty good. Will look into this option for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!
I forgot about Codeberg - I’ll look into that and Gitlab as alternatives. Thanks for the suggestions.
Vorta is a great program for backing up files. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The best part is it works with Android as well. Whenever I turn my computer on, all my photos on my phone sync to my computer to a folder that gets regularly backed up (using Vorta which is an excellent and easy to use open source backup program for Windows, Linux, and Mac)
Why isn’t KDE Neon ever recommended? It seems like it would be a solid option.
Sure, people should not use their work computer for personal use.
However, I would say the majority of people absolutely do use it for occasional personal use. Checking your personal email at work? Googling driving directions to the dentist? Using the pdf editor to fill out a form? Searching for a flight during your lunch break? I would say everyone I see at work does this, and I would bet that when they take their laptop home they would not hesitate to boot it up for personal use. And the people working remotely I would wager use it even more.
I’m not saying it’s right, but I do think using a completely separate SSD and OS is way more responsible from a security perspective.
No, they still have the alert slider. It wasn’t on the OnePlus 10, but they brought it back on the 11 and it looks like it will be included on the upcoming 12.

How do I get started with Mastodon? Are there multiple instances to choose from like Lemmy, or do you just sign up on mastodon.social?
Also, it looks like you can access Lemmy communities from there - so how is it different than just using Lemmy?
The page always seems to load just fine, but nothing happens when I press the play button. It has never worked for me - am I doing something wrong? (Firefox on Android)
Using Firefox mobile with an ad blocker but it doesn’t block Facebook ads or sponsored posts.

I use my Windows work laptop as my personal laptop by booting Ubuntu off an external SSD. It is connected through the laptop’s thunderbolt USB C port, and Ubuntu runs smoothly without any issues as if it were off the internal drive. And not the most elegant solution, but I have Velcro strips on the drive and laptop, so to transform from work computer to personal, I just stick the drive on, plug it in, and boot up Linux! And the best part is that because it’s a completely different drive, there are no personal files/data actually saved on the work computer.
Opera for mobile is the best mobile browser by far in my opinion. For desktop, I stick with Firefox.
Try Material Files file manager. It’s the best file manager I’ve used, connects to remote servers, and is open source
