My bad, what linux distro you running?

I'll go so far as to say that you shouldn't click any links coming from a business via text. Nor should you call a number that starts with anything other than 1300 (again, if solicited by text). Go directly to the banking app or mygov and call the number on the contact/support page.

If the fraud department rings then get the name of the caller, hang up, call the number in their app or on their site and tell them you just had a call. If they don't know you, you just dodged a scam. Otherwise, continue and listen to them. If the fraud department thinks you're being scammed, they're probably right.

Pretty sure it is, might just be their grammar.

I read it as "Godot, or DirectX (which my aim hallucinated is a game engine)"

Cyber security guy here: we care about 22 for SSH, 443 and 80 for Web traffic, 3389 for RDP and 21 for FTP. Everything else we google and we all have to google 21 and 3389 because we all forget them half the time anyway.

What about all the other pros of ubuntu?

Off the top of my head,

• their power management is better than any other distro for laptops.
• Their compatibility with WiFi drivers is better than many others, granted that's not exclusive to ubuntu but it is a pro.
• theyre more up to date than debian but stable while actually coming with Wayland support unlike Mint. Timeshift is great tho, good thing it's compatible with ubuntu.
• their community is much larger than many other distro so support is easier to find.
• it's just not a bad distro. There's not a lot of other distros that match its out-of-the-box experience.

Other distros are good. PopOS is good. I chose Ubuntu mostly because it's solid and stable but also because it has a wide community for help. I'm just getting tired of the narrative that ubuntu is totally crippled by its snaps. This is a linux distro, if I don't like something I get to change it, which is actually cool. This isn't windows where I have no control. Also, with snaps gone, I've literally never had a problem I haven't caused. I have the approach of strip out what I don't want. Arch users install what they do want. At the end of the day, we both are exploiting software we want to use to be productive. If I found myself fighting the os (like Mac or Windows) I'd switch but I don't so I won't.

I started using ubuntu 2 years ago and its great. Just disable snaps. It's like 5 commands (and you have to reinstall Firefox).

You stop snap store from running, disable it from restarting then set apt over snap store as default.

It's not hard. I did it day 1 of using Linux. Plus there's guides a plenty on how to do it.

I suppose I was lucky in some ways. I stopped using Reddit a few months ago, after 5 years of addiction, but I was on the way out anyway. I had some bad experiences asking for help, never really posted otherwise and just generally the community made me feel like being inexperienced with anything was the same as being an asshole. I moved to lemmy and I instantly started posting more, answering questions and basically just enjoy talking to people on here. I haven't been back and deleted my account months ago.

Idk man I just found a post where someone asked for an explanation of something racist and people just respectfully answered instead of dog piling and downvoting. This site is infinitely better than r/corporatetrash

I sent a tarball of ~~downloaded movies~~ linux iso's around once and my family thought I'd been hacked.

Best advice I ever got regarding Windows: delay updates for a few days. Sometimes Windows updates break the device, but if you're part of the crowd that delays for a day or two, they might have fixed the issue by then.
