I ain’t so confident about that. Trump is unhinged.

Only just saw this now because there’s only a small indicator of replies. You always see whom being cynical about switching to smaller alternatives? I’ve personally been doing that forever. I can’t speak for all of Nova Scotia though…

Maybe we need professional consultants for businesses and education about FLOSS & Linux.

I’m not so sure that monetary figure is actually that vast. Breaking contracts? Yeah, I would imagine there would be a financial penalty for that.

https://lemmy.ca/u/loremnop This is why I am starting a venture on Linux and FOSS (free & open source software). I’m also in Nova Scotia, and this is where I’ll be based. At least for now. I also used Linux in the early 2000s, and it’s time it becomes normalized. Even back then it was workable, as your experience demonstrates, and now there are several beginner friendly distros.

At the new Halifax Repair Cafés, I’m known as the Linux Lady. The next one is Sept 20th at Keshen Goodman Library, from 10AM to 2PM.

Or even Bluesky. But Mastodon does have a Canadian instance, mstdn.ca and I’m on it.

Then what do you suggest?

🎶 Don’t piss on the electric gloves! 🎶 It’ll ZZZZAP your junk off!

You may be alive (and I’m far from well hydrated myself) but evidently we all should have been, and be, more hydrated. But… Mad Max world is coming.

Pad OFF!

McDonald’s may have its own ethical issues, but their offerings taste just as good. In fact, salted caramel frap is much better than iced capp. I said what I said.

This is a gold mine! I love it! 😊

I believe he also has a transgender child. Honestly, though, most leaders of our parties have participated in pride parades over the years, the Conservatives are the only ones who don’t.

This is the one I’m currently with, but I guess if I have to update my phone, I may need to see what Eastlink offers in my area, or the newer one I know of that’s supposed to be coming soon…

Are any of those in Nova Scotia? If so, I can’t.

I can technically do Eastlink… and there’s one other I can’t talk about yet that I know is coming soon.

They said the same thing about Harper, and the same thing about Poilievre. Sigh. This timeline.

I’ve seen people put Linux on a PS4.

I must say, I haven’t heard of Maemo or Mobian, but I will look into that one. So far the only non Pixel phone I can get anything to work on is maybe a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet I have… but it was complicated. I think it was LineageOS.

If I could get Mobian on my Galaxy A14…

As most of us in this group probably already know, there’s Ubuntu Touch, which I’ve seen on some phones, even being sold on ebay, on Pixel 3As. There’s LineageOS & PostmarketOS, but they only run on certain phones, and the setup learning curve is challenging. And finally, seemingly the most popular one, GrapheneOS, only currently works on certain Pixel phones, but there is a partnership with Motorola, so we’ll see how that goes. I don’t know if any of these except Ubuntu Touch are considered Linux, though.

Ah, but what else won’t you be able to access?
