Jitsi Meet is a good foss choice for video conferencing in general, and includes a decent screen sharing function. You can try it out on the free to use (8x8 hosted, I think?) instance at https://meet.jit.si/

Heads up: that partocular instance now requires the host to be logged in to either a Google or Gihub account first, raising privacy concerns. that’s just how that instance is configured tho, to avoid abuse. it’s also self hostable and there should be other free instances available if you search for them.

edit: just noticed a few already mentioned this one (sorry, i must have scanned too quickly). fyi, Jitsi works well in combo with OBS virtual camera, allowing very precise control over exactly what audio and video you’re streaming

I just rebuilt my wife’s old Dell laptop (AMD with a super generic Intel on-board GPU). It’s now running Debian stable + KDE and WoW installed easily under Lutris (start with their Battle.net wizard). Diablo III runs as well, but with some weird grphical glitches. Wife thinks they’re cool tho, so I stopped trying to fix it. Anyway, WoW seems playable enough for her, though super crowded towns like Orgramar (sp?) occassionally crash the game.

Doesn’t this timeline inevitably lead to “YOU WILL BE UPGRADED OR YOU WILL BE DELETED” ?

I’ve heard Bazzite mentioned repeatedly as a popular distro for Linux gaming (and I plan to test drive it on my old laptop soneday when I get around to it). My understanding is that it’s a standalone distro you can run locally, same as Debian/Arch/Ubuntu/etc. I suspect the “cloud native” marketing term in this context just means you can run the same image file in a vm, vps, bare metal, whatever.

If I’m dead wrong, hopefully my reply will be sufficiently inflammatory to trigger a correction, lol.

I have a Brother color laser printer (technically it’s like LED or something? not home, don’t have the exact model handy). It has built in wifi and ethernet for network printing. The wifi isn’t configured, and the ethernet is manually configured with a static IP for my LAN… but no gateway address. This breaks outgoing network connections to the internet (as evidenced by the printer’s inability to check for firmware updates), while behaving otherwise normally for all my LAN devices. I hope this info is useful!

ZeroTier might suit your use case. It’s super easy to setup.

I’m a huge fan of Ubiquiti APs, and run their Unifi controller on a Raspberry Pi. Sadly, their code is proprietary - but it basically just works.

Oh, Brother.

No seriously, buy Brother printers instead and avoid (at least some of) this enshitification.

Classic 8 bit NES. Save state and upscaling are all great features everyone appreciates, but what I really hated was Nintendo’s hard, square controller! Using a modern, soft rounded controller to replay my classic NES favs is just so much better. And yeah, save game state is a literal game changer, lol.

Good choices. I too run Librewolf by default, with ungoogled Chromium standing by for the occassional asshat website intentionally designed to work exclusively on Chrome

Take a look at xbrowsersync.org

Safeway. That’s only one of the several good reasons why I don’t shop there.

In the US I think the term you’re looking for is “republican”.

If you buy a new Pixel and then run an alt rom like graphene or lineage, you’re most likeley costing Google money. I believe they manufacture the Pixel at a small loss because they expect to make their money back harvesting and selling your personal data. Denying them that should mean you get decent hardware at a fair price, without really “supporting” Google as much as you fear. I could be wrong, but I’ve definitely seen that mentioned before.
