Maybe Storm In a Tea Cup by Helen Czerski for a book outside your comfort zone. It's quite the interesting exploration of the principles of physics that underpin the world around us.

Glasses. The ability to see so much better than I otherwise could leaves me astonished every time I put them on.

It wasn’t that hard for me to flash a Chromebook with Linux using this guide

Thank you for sharing your journey! It's very interesting and informative to see how others have brought more privacy into their lives. I noticed that you were using something from Simple Mobile Tools. I know you said you were going to replace it eventually, but you should soon, especially if you got it from the Playstore, rather than from F-Droid, because they were acquired.

I mean how could you say no to a doggo like that

I mean I guess. They aren't actively fighting or anything like that to my knowledge. I personally think the Privacy Guides is the better resource, because PrivacyTools has vpn recommendations like Nord and Surfshark with affiliate links that are not actively disclosed from my quick check.

Try Brave Search, Duckduckgo, Startpage, or Searxng. For more detail on these recommendation (that I definitely did not just steal), check out the Privacy Guides page, or The New Oil for a different, albeit overlapping, set of recommendations and take on search engines.

Besides the obvious Minecraft recommendation, maybe Terraria, Satisfactory, and if you're willing to allow it, something like Smite would be another good option for him to play with his friends.

Seems interesting as a supplemental source of energy though.

Here's the article from Mozilla explaining their position. There is also this random article from The Record that seems to give a bit more of a detailed explanation from what I skimmed.

For me it's usually plants, and I still manage to suck at them. I do know some fun facts though.

This was in a VM, but I was running Ubuntu LTS to mess around with Nextcloud, maybe even save some data to it. I also installed Pihole and ran into an issue, so I uninstalled it. Apparently, when you uninstall Pihole, it also gives you the option to uninstall important system packages like ipconfig. Borked my install. I was freaking pissed.
