I have been using Xubuntu for about 2 years now, I love that it doesn't get in the way of doing stuff. It just works, it is stable and I can focus on things I want to use my PC for instead of focusing on keeping it usable.

I always check if the was packaged by the developer. I tend not to trust apps packaged by someone else.

It is not considered a good alternative as a messaging app for privacy folks and because the source code is not open, it is not E2E encrypted by default (you need to start a secret chat or something to make your conversation encrypted) if I remember correctly.

I am using a deGoogled phone and also doing browser separation, I only use google in chromium, never for searching stuff. I was talking about getting an electric toothbrush and my wife googled a big brand to check the price (she does not care about privacy). About 10 minutes later ad blocking was not working for some reason and I starter getting toothbrush ads. I would say it knew somehow that we were in the same household and targeted us both.

Fully agree. I once wanted to try it. I took a look at the documentation for partitioning and realized that I needed 2 full days for a working installation and constant access to another PC to be able to read the documentation.. No thanks, I don't care about the hate, Debian/Ubuntu is up and running in 30 mins and gets out of the way...

I always ask if they have a curtain. Why have one, when you have nothing to hide? It blocks the view, sunlight...

And also if you are a manager and one of the team members perform poorly and you cannot help the person improve, you should rather let that person go before you get to a state, in which you write such mails.

I tell everyone that messenger is not installed on my phone and I check messages once a week. So if they contact me there, expect a one week response time. (Or more.)

Viber is really very annoying, constantly nagging me about their "newest stickers" and other crap. When I open it, it's like times square on my phone with all the garbage ads...
