@ilumium @bmacDonald94 @zendis Seems an obvious, quick & easy way to improve “gubbermint” budgeting. #DumpMicrosoft

@CiaraNi Very good move. Just last week I found a completely unused #Microsoft One app on my computer and deleted it. For those still on #Windows, there's a nifty tool I have seen on social media a week ago to** remove all the intrusive eeew yuck of AI from the computer** (usual warning about running scripts from the internet unchecked apply) https://github.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI I am not affiliated or otherwise in contact with the developer, other than bowing in awe

I am planning to dump gmail and windows next month before office stops updating security for windows10.

I like the look of Linux Mint, but apparently Mint won't load on an android phone (I have a galaxy s23).

Is there an easy-to-use Linux like Mint that works on laptops and androids?

For context, I am *not* a programmer or coder); I am a casual web surfer, who might get into some gaming.

@PartijvoordeDieren Het is wel een minpuntje dat #Mastodon in het resultatenscherm niet expliciet wordt genoemd.
