Yes, for marketplace and some flea market groups. Most of my friends have moved on, some sadly to WhatsApp, which I refuse to install.

I understand your thinking. OTOH, if you don’t carry your own weight, you make someone else do it for you, and put them through the same hell you’ve been trying to escape. That’s not fair, either.

If I were you, I would try to take some time off, travel the world on the cheap, and find my feet, maybe even make peace with myself.

Good luck!

I wonder whether Linux Mint will follow suit?

Mine is simple (inspired by Kali Linux, if that’s even correct)
PS1='\[\033[0;32m\]┌──[\t] (\u@\h)-[\w]\n└─$ \[\033[0m\]'

Mastodon or Pixelfed come to mind.

You mean a “contact form?” They’re everywhere.

Apart from the already mentioned uBlock etc, I like “Clippings”, “Replace” and “Dark Background and Light Text”

I am European (but currently living in Asia). I don’t identify with my country of birth. However, I do feel connected to the Franco-Alemannic culture space that I grew up in. The languages, literature, arts and crafts, architecture, food, music etc. are way more important to me than the colour of my passport or the madhouse that is politics.

Amongst other things, I always carry some zip ties. They weigh nothing, yet come in handy in so many ways.

Shamed be he who thinks naughty of it. 🤣

The shareholders of the pharma-industry will not be happy. You have to manage a disease, not heal it; that would be detrimental for the balance sheet.

And unhappy shareholders of big pharma is definitely not what we want; if they are happy, we will be happy.
