Were you on vpn by any chance?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I use VPN. Maybe I should jump to random countries or maybe turn it off.

I tried freezing my credit but I think transunion and equifax wouldn't let me create an account for some reason. Asking me to call them. Anybody else running into the same issue?

I can pitch in a dollar

Every few decades we would dump fields and fields of solar panels. I'm sure that's not good for the environment. The heavy metals, batteries, manufacturing and transportation byproducts, even the plastics that could be used in packaging. Wish there was a better renewable energy solution with no waste.

Arch constantly breaks on me. Maybe give it a while.

I'm more concerned with longevity and use of more environmentally friendly materials with solar panels than efficiency. In about 30 years or so, they reach their end of life so there will be hazardous waste resulting from that.

Yeah. I use ddg and still sometimes play Minecraft.

I'm surprised you use Google. I would assume people on Linux are avoiding big tech as much as possible. I personally don't use a Google account so I just use the o365 school account to edit collab documents

Blender and openscad works great also

I'm currently using Arch Linux in college and my advice will be to dual boot. In some lower div classes my specific professor wanted Visual Studio .sln files so there was no other way (I guess you could VM it but I'm not trusting that with my grade).

Group sharing documents, our schools and most schools are in the MS ecosystem so you can edit on word online through the onedrive thing.

For writing stuff I would mostly use libreoffice with the LanguageTool plugin installed.

For lockdown proctored exams, I would typically get a loaner laptop from school because no way am I downloading their sussy stuff.

Edit: Since you're studying to be a psychologist, my first paragraph will probably not apply to you. If you want to, dual boot, if not, I think maybe you could boot up a vm if there's some really niche use cases.
