2026 shouldn’t be the year of any one specific thing; 2026 should be the year of teaching the less inclined how to be conscious with their data and go over methods for taking back their data from whatever service they might use.
Katherine 🪴
Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.

12·3 days agoI basically moved to Linux Mint from Windows myself back in March so this is everything I’ve learned since then. Auto update and auto backup (using Timeshift and Update Manager) are pretty straight forward since they’re all options in the GUI. Clamtk comes from me using Clamav on Windows for the longest time and most of the packages were found right in the GUI for the Software Manager.
For most users whose main computing habits are browsing the internet, word processing (desktop or Google Docs), or email, you’ll rarely have to touch a terminal.
I set up my mom’s laptop with clamtk (set to auto update definitions), auto backup, and auto update and she generally uses it the same as Windows.

Also, nuclear blocking and feeds/lists are two things that Bluesky gets right.

343·8 days agoTo Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”
Please don’t associate Linux with a close-source proprietary neutered web browser owned by an ad company.
41·9 days agoParents will go to where their family are on social; either get the family to post elsewhere, or teach them to be conscious about being on the big tech platforms.
Teach them about privacy settings like post audience; post pruning; privacy options; privacy checkups.

10·9 days agoI can finally change the deadname Gmail I’ve had for 25 years?

But not what Loop users can see.
I believe this one is the original which was linked on the original bsky post, too: https://archive.org/details/3mam75w3oec2n
Boost is the only one I know of, but that’s only because I’ve not looked beyond that.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! As much as I love the 1981 BBC series, you can’t beat the radio series.
Boost for the longest time; but since I’ve been using Piefed, I mostly just use mobile Vivaldi/Firefox instead of an app (Boost still works with it; I just got used to using it over apps).
Thanks! That seems wild, I never knew that existed.
Depends; looking back at things as a kid, probably as early as 5, based on my hobbies and interests.
But that was subconsciously before I knew what being gay or trans meant.
It was closer to 14 or 15 when I really discovered I was probably bisexual; thank you David Bowie, Brian Molko, and Velvet Goldmine.
