Yeah the washing machine app is for the public laundromat. I tried it on GrapheneOS with everything enabled but it was lacking something that is only on stock Google Android. I haven't tried it on a MicroG phone yet.

I have friends who care about privacy but they need phones that can do Uber and washing machine apps. So I'm the only one i know with a private FOSS phone.

If i get the chance to retire then it will be of old age.

People don't recommended Windows

much appreciated thanks:)

That's it thank you much! I love it

imgflip.com they have all the good ones thanks:)

Can't set the clock to Arizona time in KDE
I'm on Debian 12 KDE and i need to update the clock to Arizona time but it's not available.
Honestly, it won't even let me change it to California time. After entering my password it denies my request.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Edit Neither my user or root password works for this

If i encrypt Linux partition, will it break Windows?
I want to have a dual-boot laptop where half is Windows and half is Debian. If i encrypt Debian during installation, will it break Windows? I just want to be safe. Thanks in advance

Do cookies communicate IP address in any way?
For example, if:
- I'm on a tracking website like Linkedin
- I log out and close the browser
- I turn on the vpn and open the same browser
- I create a Spotify account
Is it possible that Spotify will give me targeted ads based on my home IP due to the cookies?
Thanks in advance

I'm on Zorin(Ubuntu) and it's an i5 Intel i believe

First the VM will freeze. Then my whole computer freezes. Then the VM closes and in the Virtual Box menu it says that Windows 11 aborted.

Yeah I have Debian on another VM and it runs with no problems

Does Windows virtual machine crash due to low RAM?
I installed Windows 11 in Virtual Box in case I need it for school but it keeps crashing. My laptop is 12gb RAM and I gave the VM 8gb RAM.
If I upgrade my laptop RAM to maybe 16gb and give the VM 12gb RAM would that help? Thanks I'm a newb

I once got a pop up ad on an old tablet where the person in the image looked a lot like me. It was so bizarre. I thought it was some AI generated ad. This was like 3 years ago though and I didn't have Facebook anymore.

What can happen if Meta trains its AI with your info and selfies?
I don't have Facebook or anything Meta.
But what can or will happen to people who let Meta train its AI with their data, selfies, locations, and behavior patterns etc? Thanks in advance

What are the steps to learning how to turn my laptop into Nextcloud server?
I have an extra laptop with 8gb or ram that I want to turn into my Nextcloud server.
The steps that I think I need to take:
- Learn how to set up a server on a laptop.
- Learn how to install Nextcloud software on the server.
But I'm confused because I came across a video where someone set up Nexcloud right on their Windows laptop. Does that mean I can do that on my Ubuntu laptop?

I started out with Linux Mint which I had trouble with when I kept getting notified that I had unnecessary files in my Boot folder. I deleted the wrong files and broke my first installation. Tried ZorinOS and loved it. I decided to try Ubuntu to see what all the hype was about and didn't like how much Snaps were pushed on me. Went back to ZorinOS and I like everything as is out of the box. I don't care much for the Windows App Support. VirtualBox is a life saver.

Why don't I see Threads.net posts in my home feed?
Before you comment, please know that I'm not complaining. Someone asked this in Mastodon and it's a good question because if you don't block Threads dot net, then you can look people up and follow them and vice versa.
In my home feed I see posts from other Mastodon servers but not from Threads. Why is that? Thanks in advance
Edit There are no Threads dot net posts in my Global feed either. And I haven't blocked Threads either.

I'm going into a Medical Lab Tech program. I know 1 lab tech but he went to school in the 80's. So I'm not sure what software they use now.

Can someone get through college on GNU Linux?
I'd like to never boot into Windows again. I have VirtualBox installed where I can install Windows 11 if I need to but is there anything that it(Windows on a VM) wouldn't be able to do like accessing hardware devices? Thanks in advance

I use it for everyday things like schoolwork and gmail and it works great so far. I still have Librewolf on the side but it seems like it's for more privacy and that you're not supposed to change it too much for example adding more extensions or it defeats the purpose of it.

What's the dirt on Waterfox?
I'm aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it's now an independent project.

Is it safe to upgrade to paid version of a distro if I'm dual booting?
My primary OS is Windows (I use it for work) and I have Linux as my second OS. If I upgrade my linux distro to the paid version so I can have more features, will Windows be okay? Thanks I'm a newb
