Encrypting home is good (although full disk encryption is better and with mint it’s still easy enough)

Mint uses some helper scripts to mount/unmount your encfs, so maybe while trying to delete the files you deleted those too, and this would explain the login failing. It’s been a while tho so I’m not sure, better to wait for someone else.

No viruses is when the gui sucks

If they keep raising my food subscription I’m gonna start pirating from supermarkets too

Try heliboard. It’s FOSS, and it’s based off the keyboard in AOSP, which should basically be gboard.

Yup, no doubts there.

Anyway, OP, if I were you I’d buy that laptop (not for gaming tho, or at least not if you’re looking for something more than “good enough”)

I’m not really sure, but wasn’t userbenchmark biased in favor of nvidia gpu?

In any case, I agree that an rx5500 is on the weaker side, so don’t expect much, but it shouldn’t be a lot worse than an rtx3050 (i’m not an expert tho)

I used jerboa at first and it was really great, although a bit buggy (haven’t used it in a while tho)

I’m now using a different frontend my instance provides (Photon, at p.lemmy.dbzer0.com) and it is really great on mobile. I added it to my home from the browser and it just feels like an app

Ads try to sell you something, there is no “call to action”. Here, there is nothing to sell, so by definition it’s not an ad.

They are just asking you if you’d like to help them in providing you the product you’re already using.

Not an ad. No one is trying to sell you anything.

(If you get the notification) you’re already using their product.

Honestly i wouldn’t mind. Users on .world that don’t want a butt load of defederations will probably (and hopefully) move to another instance, whilst the rest of lemmy will be free from all the liberals uncapable of discriminating between communists and tankies
