On one hand cool, on the other hands troops not cool

Yeah but it’s way easier and less tinkery than what’s described in the OP

Well for some items it’s definitely easy. Laptop for example just say it’s your laptop. No box or receipt you brought it with you. But it has to be like 1. And it’s still illegal.

Yes. But only one or two things at a time. It’s illegal but like you said if you just say you had it when you entered Canada you’ll probably get away with it.

If you come over with 100 laptops in your trunk you will almost certainly be forced to pay import duties on them.

Basically if you’re trying to save some money personally yes it’s possible. Under a certain dollar amount you can usually even do it legally as long as you don’t intend to sell it. But if you’re planning on making a business out of doing this and selling it in the US cheap then you’re gonna get caught

Oh I never let Windows touch my partition table anyhow. That’s a Linux job.

What image do you put for when you install the BTRFS driver in Windows (yes it’s real and it works pretty well actually.)

For extra unholy fuckery try installing Windows on the same partition as Linux, if you can load the driver that early. Edit: https://github.com/maharmstone/quibble it is possible. May God save our souls.

Hopefully not here

I do occasionally turn it on when there’s waves of spam sign ups.

But I know how off putting it is to a new user to have to wait and be approved for some site you’re not even sure you want to join.

It’s pretty open hardware I’m sure it would be very easy to flash it to Fairphone’s OS

What???

What free healthcare? And even if they have that, that doesn’t pay for food, shelter, etc…

You can compile iOS apps other ways… But IIRC to publish them on the app store you’re supposed to use XCode

You can be moderator of a remote community

Splitting communities to make the fediverse more off-putting and confusing!

Start some distinct communities instead of splitting existing ones

If we could get the whole world to team up and do anything we’d be in a better place

Easy enough to do for personal electronics. Just don’t bring the box with you… Unbox it there, if asked about it say you’ve always had it.

Wait why do people want escape there???

I like the backspace there like Colemak has. I can do Fn-Backspace(capslock) to activate Caps Lock but that’s something I added to my Keyboard separately.

Sure. Looks like on Ubuntu Touch the only thing not working is the fingerprint reader

The OS in general isn’t ready for daily use though. It’s maybe doable if all you need is text, calls, camera, and a browser. And the calls only work in some countries. But it’s fun to play with.

Do you live in the US or Europe? There are some possibilities out there, but it’s kinda region dependent.

It seems like Linux-compatible android handsets stopped around 2021. Except a few bespoke models that are hard to get your hands on outside of Europe.

I have a OnePlus Nord N10 flashed with Ubuntu Touch as a tinker device, unfortunately in the US it’s not daily-able because we shut down 3g and 2g networks and they still haven’t managed to get VoLTE working on Ubuntu Touch yet (though it may be coming in the next year!) so phone calls don’t work.

There’s also the Pixel 3a/3a XL which are plentiful and cheap but I like the N10 a bit more because of the additional RAM. Makes it feel a little less old compared to the Pixel.

If you can get your hands on a Fairphone, Pinephone or Volla those are great but hard to get outside the EU.

Most Americans don’t think about other countries enough to really grasp what you mean by rogue state
