Puppy has saved my ass multiple times. Love that tiny dog.

Speaking of Tails, a security minded user can also try out Qubes as well. It uses virtualization to separate different contexts like Work, Personal, Social, etc. You can have your Work profile connect to your workplace VPN while your Personal profile is on a torified connection in parallel. It does have its drawbacks, however. You need more system resources, and anything that requires direct access to GPU like videogames is not officially supported.

So we’ll have to say GNU/Linux/SystemD soon?

No problems running on the AMD graphics?

I’ve made the switch over a decade ago. Ubuntu was the gateway drug. I have to use windows at work, but that’s it.

I’m guessing there’s a reduced pool of desktop pc users, thus Linux users are now slightly bigger in proportion? There has been big advances regarding Linux adoption, too.

Librewolf has AppImage on their webpage, too. Does it not fit your use case?

Similar here. I have switched to xfce after struggling with gnome and kde.

There’s no easy solution. Some are evicted from their homes with crushing debt, some have safety nets to depend on, some want to end their homeless situation as soon as possible, some, however, are content with eating discarded food and begging for cash to buy alcohol. Not everyone is a hopeless drug addict or a temporarily inconvenienced millionaires, and this is not even mixing charity into the problem.

My guess is whoever thought on implementing AI into this probably consider this a problem that can be made easy by offloading all our human problems into a black box. It isn’t going to be that way.

It should be perfectly doable. The only difference is that the server in on the local network (e.g. 192.168.1.101) instead of localhost (127.0.0.1). You might need to configure your OS firewall to let traffic through.

I was thinking about preserving my phone numbers and all that. From what I’m reading, all it takes is a voip provider routing calls directly instead of my own equipment?
