I had no idea about the origin.

Is ZorinOS niche? It’s Ubuntu with a Windows ricing.

The only reason I bought a Pixel is for GrapheneOS and the only reason my SO has one is also GrapheneOS.

First, BACKUP EVERYTHING.

Then, the best distro is probably going to be the same you are currently using. You will not have to deal with issues that may be specific to one distro. There is enough difference from one computer to another to cause annoying issues, even on windows.

After exploring options such as Fusion360 and SOLIDWORKS I ended up making a free account on onshape. It’s web-based and works flawlessly on Firefox and Linux. I should try a bit more FreeCAD, but lack motivation.

I buy my music for download on Bandcamp, Steam and few other places. I listen to it with Jellyfin and Finamp on my mobile (it can store songs locally or stream them from my home NAS)

Of course he appeals the decision, and I sure hope the second court will confirm the first judgement, but this will take time.

• Set a decently good password (password is required frequently on Linux, so do go overboard with a 40-random-characters-long password, you will regret it)
• don’t install programs or run scripts from shady sources, prefer to install programs from the Software store (package manager and flatpak)
• setup a backup system to regularly copy all your files to a separate storage device. This is the way to protect yourself from ransomware but also user errors! Having the possibility to format your drive, reinstall and restore backup in a 1 hour time span is going to give you the peace of mine you need for exploring and experimenting with Linux

The guitar playing with the missing fingers made me cry instantly.

Tell that to my workplace. They have the worst toilet paper in there. I won’t pass on an opportunity to poop on the job, best possible use of my time.

I have a Pixel 7 and my wife has the Pixel 6a, I don’t find them particularly well made. My pixel 7 is already show signs of wear with the power button getting stuck after about 2 years of use, with a case pretty much always on. My former phone, Huawei P20 worked flawlessly and was like new after 5 years of use. In the end I wanted to run GrapheneOS and decided for the Pixel. But at this price, I am quite disappointed with the hardware quality.

Firefox has been pretty good on Android for a little while now. They have recently rolled out an interface refresh that is an improvement in my opinion.

I am really pissed off because I use to be able to make payments with my phone using NFC just with the Deutsche Bank App, but they rolled out an update on 25th August and now it requires Google Pay and Google Wallet to function. Fuck that !

He his already expatriated to Russia to evade taxes.

“Not giving a shit” is easier said than done. I am usually good at disconnecting from work after the day, but it also happened to me that work topics kept me awake at night. Not giving a shit isn’t going to work when the consequences are waiting for you on the next day.

Is it Signal and Threema leadership that doesn’t want to implement interoperability with WhatsApp or it’s WhatsApp preventing it? Is there any existing 3rd party app that’s compatible with WhatsApp?

Probably for gameplay balancing reasons, although maybe not a very good one. If the pistols were weak compared to all the other bigger calibers, players wouldn’t use them, so they made them like miniature rail guns, but now they are too powerful and you wouldn’t use an assault rifle for anything, so they made them slow, et voilà ! Good enough, we have to work on Panam’s butt polygons now.

Yeah, looks like they only have it for the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro. Well, I’m not gona buy a new phone for that, but it looks pretty cool.

Where did you get this keyboard case and do they make one for the Pixel 7 ?
