I have a t480 and didn't need to do that

Windows kept shoving their stupid Edge browser down my throat. Tried every way to remove it and it kept popping back up like malware. Kept annoying me with "upgrade to Windows 11 popups." I've used windows 11 on other people's laptops and was flabbergasted that there were ads on paid software. In addition to that I heard 10 will stop getting security updates next year so I bit the bullet and switched to mint full time. It's worked well for me so far.

Yup. I've had the same issue with invidious. Hope it'll get fixed soon. Freetube works for now.

Interestingly enough I tried whatismyip on both my main and secondary profile and they both showed the same IP and location

I've only got about a month left that I have to use it. Would prefer to use a separate profile as opposed to a web browser so I wouldn't have to sign in all of the time + get flagged as a bot because of my VPN. I have tried webapp sandboxing but it hardly worked and broke most things.

I have an old-ish dumb TV. Just look around on something like Craigslist and you've got a good chance of finding one

I have heard mixed things about instander

I have gotten some people on signal but I will have to wait to try and get more on it. I've also heard that there's privacy issues with signal but even if the allegations are true it's a big step up from Instagram. I'm hoping to mainly use signal and my self-hosted matrix server in the future.

None of my matrix friends are on Instagram and vice versa

People are important. It's necessary for mental health to balance privacy and being able to have a life.

I think I can get them to switch when I leave Instagram, which is why I said I've only got to keep using it for a set amount of time. The issue is really that these are aquantinces that will become friends once I move and get to hang out with them IRL.

I see what you're saying now. In settings it only has network and photo permissions (with photos being limited access). Is there a way it can get that permission outside of the permissions list in settings?
