Not to sound insensitive, wouldn’t keeping a checklist in a text file/note/etc, then copying it when you want to check it off completely fulfill your requirements?

Oh, I completely agree, it’s still going to be fairly cheap, especially if it idles a lot, I just wanted to point out that it’s not going to be free free.

I mean, you’re forgetting the additional power costs that you’ll have to pay for running your own hardware, plus maybe ISP fees if you want to upgrade for better upload speeds.

Considering that Gen Z is usually defined as being born between the mid-late 1990s and early 2010s, I wouldn’t support the first half of that statement. Everyone born in the first half of 2005 or earlier are 18, making them adults, so about half of Gen Z is adults.

Now whether this article uses that age range properly or whether it’s just someone using the term to mean “young people”, I have no idea.

But the premise of the article that just because someone uses technology all day makes them somehow invulnerable to scams (something that has absolutely nothing to do with how much someone uses tech) was ludicrous from the start.

Does she actually need Linux or is using a unixoid OS fine? A lot of the time installing homebrew (or whatever the package manager was called) on MacOS can suffice for several use cases.

Other than that, if you’re not needing apple exclusive software on it, installing Linux on the Macbook can be a good option.

If you definitely want virtualization, go with VirtualBox

Ah yes, because spammers clearly can’t afford 8 bucks a month

You don’t even need to lock the pc, locking the db is sufficient. The issue allows changing the settings on unlocked databases without needing to re-confirm (at least according to the article).

I agree, but the issue I see is that if we don’t de-federate them, they could aggregate and sell our data, which is something many people explicitly switched off of Meta services for.

That, and Meta has the infrastructure/paid developers to develop features/respond to issues much faster, which might cause more casual users to migrate over because they see things they desire.

Another worry I’ve seen around is that if the Meta instance is not blocked/defederated, it could aggregate all that data and sell it, which is something lots of people explicitly do not want.

You’ll love what r/steam did. They were forced open and from what I hear users are now exclusively posting pictures of water vapor.
