Love the original, but I really don’t think it needs a reboot. But I guess original ideas are too much to ask for in 2024…

I actually switched to Ubuntu full-time way back in 2006 when I went back to school (anthro major), specifically to help me focus when using my computer and not get distracted by playing video games. Of course, nowadays with wine and proton on steam, that might not be as effective. But it worked well for me, never experienced any issues with word docs opening in libre office (or rather open office back then) or vice versa. There was once or twice where I had to use a computer in the lab in the library to run some niche program or another for an assignment, but not a big deal.

I use wX from f-droid. It uses data from the National Weather Service, so it might not be useful if you are located outside the US.

I had to do that recently, ended up being easier to just temporarily change the password to something short on a pc, then change it back after.

On Android, I use Feeder and Nunti. Both are open source and available on f-droid.

I’d suggest checking out the official installation instructions linked at the top of the mint homepage. They’re pretty good.

ClamAV?

I don’t believe that’s possible, the best you can do is foss apps with android auto compatibly. The only one that shows up as an option for me on my phone is VLC, but I’m sure there are at least a few others. Someone on the fossandroid community said osmand works with it earlier today, but I don’t remember seeing it show up as an option (but that was with a rental car a year ago, things may have changed.)

Not sure which of those many plants you’re asking about, but the small flower in the center looks like some sort of violet.

Lucky! Black raspberries are my favorite.

Yeah, I just don’t get fear of snakes. That thing is amazing!

How does voting work across federated instances? I appear to have both up and down vote buttons, since I’m viewing from another instance, do they not actually work? Otherwise, what prevents trolls from other instances from brigading a thread?
