luckily most of us here grew up when there was no AI, or smart whatsoever. Remove all subscriptions/links to AI. If you want to learn what is happening in a field, like Linux, get a RSS reader and follow the blogs. They explain everything and you don’t need AI for that. Follow things you are interested in in mastedon, it’s the same but you don’t let any AI do the summarising for you. You follow and your brain picks up what it doesn’t know.

you can also buy books from HumbeBundle. They have cheap books there. 19 books for 25 dollars.

use social media to stay on top of things, dont let AI do that for you. That is, not to be social but just the follow what organisations are doing.

    guys thanks for the replies.

    I found the issue, my billing address for my Apple ID was in the UK. So I changed it and the blocks were removed. But honestly these are my last iPhones. I am going for non-big tech phone after this

    hello,

    I have a quick question. My iPhones got age restricted with the latest update. This is probably because of UK’s child protection fiasco. The phones aren’t bought in the UK, does this mean I can throw away the phones now? I’ve never been in the uk whatsoever. It’s apple throwing me under the bus.

    iPhone 11 and iPhone 16.

    this is completely nuts honestly. anyone has ideas? or wants a free phone lol.

    but seriously, how can a phone bought in 2020 be age restricted. If you wipe the phone, doesn’t it go back to its original IOs?

    Thee are expensive phones which have become worthless overnight

    You have to do the essentials on Linux. You have to fight for it. The more people turn on Linux and bitch about stuff not working, the more likely companies/people will start building drivers for it. It’s a fight, no shame if it doesn’t work, just use other operating system to get it working but spit on it while doing it

    This helped me a lot. Install a RSS reader on your Linux, and start following Linux blogs. They explain everything and you will learn about the newest technologies from people who work on Linux

    and many more.

    If you see interesting information, look if they have a RSS feed and add them to your list.

    You will learn and become knowledgable over time. They will do the effort and try to explain everything, you just have to read what they write

    4 years being lied to now faces reality. Russians with knowledge have been warning about this moment, but kremlins lies and ignorance is biting back. They are at the finding out moment now, and it won’t get better for the regime. it’s just the beginning

    hi,

    sorry for my ignorance, I am new in the adventure of Linux. But is it smart to wait a couple of weeks before installing brand new Linux/Ubuntu releases? I was on Ubuntu 24 but 26.02 is like a trainwreck. Missing Nvidia drivers, Python not compatible with software like Proton VPN. Everything that worked on 24 is not working on 26.02. A but disapointing honestly.

    I am on a 2018 PC, but it’s not that old.

    My pc is not welcome in the new Ubuntu world :’(
