A while back I had an old notebook that really couldn't handle windows. Sometime I see these products in stores, 4GB of Ram and a dual core processor. The solution that I found is Windows-x-lite. More recently I wanted to play some windows games without having to install windows 11. I chose the windowsxlite Neon edition. I don't know anything about the people who create this beautiful thing. They could be malicious. They could be totally open and honest, I don't know, I do know that I really like the work that they have done. A light version windows, sometimes around 1GB in size is just beautiful. One my favorite features is the disabling of automatic updates, permanently. I do take some precautions such as not storing passwords, banking, or any other personally sensitive information. It's probably fine, probably.

Altstore is not available in the usa. Make's sense, fascist capitalist company. However I did find this

In the U.S., the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple last year, but the case is ongoing and alternative app stores on the iPhone remain unsupported there.

In case you didn't know, Android allows you install apps outside of the google app store. Freetube as an example. Apple typically doesn't let you install anything outside of their app store which usually extorts the authors for money.

I found a replacement for Reddit, it's called Lemmy. Lemmy.world is part of the Fediverse. I'm a bit late, but here it is for someone else to stumble upon. Lemmy.world is linked to this article.

Here's an except from Wikipedia:

The Fediverse (commonly shortened to fedi)[2][3][4] is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as federation) using a common protocol. Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network. The term Fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe.[5]

The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[6][7]

We should all be doing what we can to help, don't let history keep repeating itself.

One of my favorite apps is freetube, I share it with everybody. I have no idea how freetube works but ive noticed that I often had to find a update to make it working again. Well I recently stumbled upon a nightly build in the AUR repository, its been a huge help.

The FreeTube repository is currently setup to create binaries automatically every time a change is made to our development branch. With this setup, you can try out new changes right away instead of having to wait for a full release. This is doable thanks to GitHub Actions.

As someone who's vocabulary is limited, golden dictionary has been a life saver for my work. Even if the query can't find a definition it will surely find a Wikipedia link.

Have you ever bought a sd card and found that it just doesn't work out of the box? Well its news to me, I have a bunch of 99 cent sd cards that never work. It turns out that sd card fraud is has been going on for 20 years. Id like to also point out that those cheap Solid state drives are fake too.

F3 will check your drives to verify if they are fake or the real deal. Cool app.

Anyways, if you want to safely download torrents without the risk of visiting sketchy torrent websites then the qbit search plugin fills that need. The qbit search plugin stays up to date with trusted sources. I suppose this is common knowledge but a year ago I was still visiting websites that made my skin crawl. I hope this helps someone
