I’m aware :) really, anyone that backs up anything at all shouldn’t be using ONE THING for backups.

Personally, I use it to “sync” photos from my phone to my computer. I run nightly backups via a cron script.

Still, can’t say I’ve had any issues so far

I’ll have to check it out! Same here, mostly services on my end - but I’ve accumulated enough of them to make it tiresome. Still, I’ll have to do it at some point

I DO have an ad blocker. I still ended up seeing an ad, that one time. It might’ve been on mobile. Or I might have had my ad block turned off. Either way, I’ve gone out of my way to make sure I never see an ad in my email again. Used mobile devtools to uninstall the Gmail client, Firefox with uBlock add-on, etc…

Yes… They don’t seem to show up in the primary tab, but they’re there nonetheless. Nowhere is safe, and nothing is sacred.

I got pissed off at Google Photos, which led me down a self-hosting rabbit hole. Ended up installing Linux everywhere, even my “gaming” one eventually (I do development, and WSL was a resource hog).

The hardest thing to degoogle has been email - I’ve used the same address for years. But I use Thunderbird so at least I don’t have to see ads in my fucking inbox

Same here! I was worried I wouldn’t use it (I haven’t been gaming on PC much) but I actually game on it much more than on PC

If we need to start supporting diagonals, I’m quitting webdev for good

I use FreeTube but hadn’t heard of Newpipe before. Thanks for the recommendation!

Maybe I’m being a little paranoid, but I DID accidentally delete a few directories with dotenvs in them, which is what led me to find trash in the first place. That experience really traumatized me… so to break the rm habit and make sure I don’t do that on ANY computer I set up abbr rm '# Don\'t use this! Use trash-cli instead' # and abbr t trash.

Using trash is good… aliasing it to rm, maybe not so good

Or should, for that matter

These posts are getting really old and tired. I’m here to learn more about Linux, not hear the same recycled view on hOW BAd windows is
