I wasn’t sure if Lemmuy-UI in the results list was a typo or an alternative interface. Now I know. 😄

No! I recently started going back to the office, so the Google One VPN was an easy way for me to bypass the restrictions on my company’s Wi-Fi network.

I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I’m guessing it’s for Google Photos storage. It’s the reason I pay for Google One.

Recently, I’ve been changing distros about once a year. These are the things I install every time:

• hdparm - I use this to disable APM on my HDD which makes annoying sounds when it’s enabled. (Yes, my computer is old and still uses an HDD as the system drive.)
• KeePassXC - My preferred password manager.
• VeraCrypt - My external drives are encrypted with this.
• Joplin - I store my setup notes in here.
• Lutris/Steam/Wine - I’m a gamer.

As for the config files, I always start fresh.

“Compact powerhouse” caught my attention. Unfortunately, “compact” is a 6.36 inch screen.

I will never forget the time I saw my classmate clean his glasses by licking them. It wasn’t a small lick. The lenses were covered in his saliva afterwards. 🤮

TIL there’s an organization called Mopria that develops universal printing standards. As a computer geek who works in the tech industry, I’m surprised I’ve never heard of this before.

I was moderately intrigued by this story until I got to that part. The headline is correct but kind of misleading. I’m sure many people will read it and think Firefox can now run Chrome extensions directly.

I used the credit on a Google One subscription. It gives me additional Google Drive space which I can share with my family.

Same. I use my phones for many years — I’m still using the Pixel 3 — so the easily replaceable battery is really appealing, but I don’t know if I can deal with the inevitably underwhelming camera.

I’ve been interested in the Fediverse for a long time but didn’t have any reason to jump into it because the applications I was aware of did not appeal to me. If I don’t use Twitter and Instagram, why would I be interested in Mastodon and Pixelfed? This all changed when Reddit announced their API change. Reddit is the only social media site I use, so Lemmy seems like the perfect reason to jump in.
