+1 for Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) with Nextcloud / WebDAV for sync. I use the web clipper all the time.

New messages (under an hour I think) are highlighted yellow.

self-promotion caveat: I'm building my sudoku game to be offline and fully accessible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=digital.cyberpuffin.sudoku

The only thing that might constitute an "ad" is a button on the main menu that leads to a promotion page for my print-on-demand book.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, have an incorrect setting, or if this is expected behavior, but the thing that's been driving me nuts is when I go to share a link it always copies the source of the post for the lemmy link.

If, for example, I'm browsing on lemmy.ml and I want to share a post from lemmy.world, I'd like to be able to copy the lemmy.ml version of the lemmy.world post.

It doesn't make as much sense with public instances, but when you're using a private instance and you want to share with friends and family it can be kind of a hassle to retrieve the URL for said private instance.

The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.

Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won't require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.

People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don't know themselves. It's up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.

Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.

Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.

Maybe they're grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options... Just maintain SSH access with keys.

The options are a strength.

Your money, spend it how you want. Me, I'll eschew the bloated system designed to separate customers from their money in favor of the free and open source alternatives.

That's awesome, I wasted so much time on the web browser before playing over ssh and wasting even more time. Shame the drops didn't seem to speed up.
