    • Stop using the word ‘Google’ instead of saying ‘Search’. Take offense if anyone tells you to ‘Google’ something - fuck them!!!
    • Set Firefox as your default - don’t keep ‘defaulting’ to chrome, or chromium based browsers (as this code mostly comes from Google).
    • Be sure to become more acquainted with more platforms, keep shortcuts handy and use them when they have content…
    • If you must use Youtube, use it signed out - find your channel and add it to an RSS reader. Avoid using the Youtube interface and avoid the algorithms. Search for any channels you watch on alternative platforms.



  • Haha yes, I have to stay out of arguments involving Snap vs Flatpak for this reason. I ended up leaving Mint through issues with my HTPC install - with Plex, the ‘Home Theater’ app died it’s death, and options were tough to install - so I went for Arch, failed to get that working well, then tested KDE with Manjaro - bingo!

    Until a couple of months ago, I was installing PlexHTPC via AUR which unpacked the snap and installed it - that’s so awesome… though now it’s dead so I had to jump onto the newly opened Flatpak option (AUR stuck at 1.30.1-1 whilst Flathub is up to 1.39.2).

    After the PPA nightmares I had with 'buntu, and later with Mint (PPA’s made for 'buntu often don’t work) it’s like a dream.
