~30% of people would be if they could get away with it. Just look at the privileged ones.

Hold on, I need to go to a pharmacy.

Well, you can’t grow on YouTube without being a capitalist shill (except if you make content against that, since it isn’t a popular capitalist shill activity).

Mailbox.org is decent. But 1€ per month. I need to switch my stuff to it and pay before the trial ends.

No encryption. Fuck yes.

Or shotcut. I once ran it on 8GB, minimal arch with no swap. Well.

And I’m not even trying to build android on my new relatively modern laptop. It won’t work.

Also that but, occasionally cleaning leftovers and fixing dependancy problems.

Eh it’s kinda fine most of the time. But if you really don’t have time to fix dependencies (via dnf) and constantly leave it for later, many broken things accumulate. It’s usually fine (and usually works for at least a few years without problems, even on arch).

Edit: also the other comments.

Well, it’s relatively stable until it isn’t. If you don’t have time to fuck around, use mint. Unless you need new packages, then you’re fucked (maybe suse TW - but still don’t expect everything to work, just decent stability).

Eh, on my Latitude(5290) - 2018, i7-8350u and my shitty home network (still better than my grandma’s ADSL but not by much), zypper dup (with some unnecesarry shit) takes an hour. I assume emerging the upgrade would be at least 10 times longer.

I assume I’d be forced to use Gentoo if I eventually switch to a snapdragon laptop, so fuck me then.

My grandma has a Phillips CRT tv. It’s way better than any of my family’s LCDs I hope I could inherit it and not let it go to waste when she dies (but hopefully she lives longer than the TV - since it’s indestructible).

For the love of god. I just started repairing a Huawei P10 for my own use (was my mom’s). I had to ADB pm uninstall --user 0 a bunch of Huawei shit and play services. The (last) 2021 upgrade made it so it redownloads some apps I removed occasionally (Facebook, Instagram, Petal, …) fuck this. Why does it keep doing it?

I think I also uninstalled something too much since it doesn’t pair to bluetooth devices anymore.

And why can’t I just unlock the bootloader and replace the os (well, I could with PotatoNV, but i could only get a GSI, so I lose most features and the camera quality). And it’s also stuck on Android 9 - somehow (the phone is from 2017).

Still more usable than my Redmi 4x (4+64) with some motherboard issues, and cheaper than the decent grapheneos compatible phones on ebay (300 - 400€ in EU).

I wish I had time to use Gentoo, but I barely have time to upgrade my Suse TW and Artix systems (to be fair, suse’s packaging system is shit compared to arch/artix, but it is more stable if upgraded after a long time).

How do you manage to upgrade it regularly? Do you have an extremely powerful PC or just the T430?

Wow, a 2000 corolla has a remote. My mk4 golf (2002) with decent equipment doesn’t have that (but to be fair, it also doesn’t have a CD drive radio - well I could add one for ~100€ but I won’t since it costs money and the original radio works).

It’s extremely reliable (especially the TDI engine). After 178000km, the only problems are the surface rust, (my grandma who owned it before me) had to replace the fenders - which rusted away and I recently had to replace the rear axle. And some trunk door water leaks I still had to fix (and some weird sounds coming from the wheels when steering to the right). My mom’s 2014 golf mk7 is in way worse mechanical condition than my older car.

Also: how do the 10 year olds not know how batteries work (I did basic electronic repairs back then and help my dad wire lights ) and have you thought about reporting their parents for child neglect

Eh, I’ve had worse. I’d actually like it if it included FDE (my spare Artix laptop has this config, while my main is stuck with home encryption (on seperate partition)and Suse TW, which is kinda chaotic. I complained about openrc being a pain to daily, but Artix actually makes it good and feels actually stable.

You can backup via a live enviroment anyway.

I turned it off. I never need it or want it. But I won’t hate anyone else who uses it like gnome devs do.

Not like everyone else doesn’t do it, like qt. The only platform that doesn’t do it is Windows. And we know how that turned out.

The tech is good. But the pushing of encryption in email services disables the use of other mail clients on free accounts (where the bridge doesn’t work), while the encryption is useless when communicating with any other mail service (with email you mostly communicate with corpos anyway). It just seems like it’s a cash grab, but it might be useful for activist groups.

I’m still looking for a free, private (at least as much as it can be) and open email service which is way harder than I expected.

I have a protonmail ACC (not using it as I need a powerful mail client, Infomaniak (very capitalist lately), which I also don’t use much.
