  • People like to take sides on the internet without doing proper research too, I think. I had this idea that Micay was toxic and kind of avoided the project for a long time. My conclusions after doing more research is that he is someone that lacks social skills and is indeed very opinionated. However, GrapheneOS isn't made for privacy activists that can afford to use Mull instead of Vanadium, for example. GrapheneOS is made for people that cannot afford to have a phone that might leak information that could endanger their lives.

    If Mikay was someone like Palmer Luckey which is a biggot that's a whole different story. I am glad I gave GrapheneOS a try and I am very happy using it, even if it is kind of overkill for my privacy needs.

  • Windows (many years) -> Dual boot w/ Ubuntu for a few years -> Windows + WSL (Ubuntu) for many years -> Arch Linux (laptop) + EndeavourOS (desktop) for a few months now

    I think I will stick with Arch Linux for new installs, I didn't have any issue that wasn't solvable by reading the wiki

  • I giggled, thank you.

  • Thank you for explaining! I had no idea.

  • What's the issue with him? Honest question, just want to know what's up

  • I love this solution but my main card is Amex which means I always have to carry a second card 💀

  • Rustaceans 🤝 Vegans

  • Well, I just realized they don't support multi user which is kind of a deal breaker for us, since we are a couple sharing a homelab. We always wanted to share a few files when using Logseq and it seems this won't be solved with Trilium either. This sucks.

  • Yes, I love Catima!

  • For nfc payments? I have seen people making it work for boarding passes and fidelity cards but not for that

  • Your option is having a financial institution that provides tap to pay on their own app. Otherwise you will have to start carrying cards again.

    Edit:

    You might want to check this thread on the official forums which has the discussions regarding NFC payments.

    I have seen people recommending the usage of a smart watch such as Garmin which has their own Pay application. You can check their compatibility list here. I didn't have any luck because they support like 5 cards in Canada.

  • Same thing here lol

  • We liked Readeck way better than Omnivore. Their browser extension is also very good.

  • I'm actively looking for a Logseq replacement, since they require CLA signing and can pull the rug at any moment.

    We discovered Trilium and will be trying it out to see if we can migrate.

  • Did you manage to get a position? How was it?

  • With only 256GB it might be even hard for him to use windows, to be honest.

  • I was an Ubuntu WSL user and installed Arch Linux on my laptop without the install script and it took me a whole day plus a few more hours in the following days (reading the wiki and such). I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun.

    I installed EndeavorOS on my desktop and it was.... Weird. It was so weird that I broke things and had to reinstall it twice. Endeavour is great but I had already gotten used on setting things up by myself.

    I have both computers running perfectly since then but you need to keep in mind that you'll be responsible for doing maintenance on your system. Updating, checking logs, reading and rereading the arch wiki.

    I wish I had tried getting into Arch sooner but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that isn't willing to dedicate to it. Maybe try Endeavour and see if you like it?

  • I'm assuming you didn't put a lot of thought in this comment.

    Mastodon is great but expecting the majority of people to use it is just naive. I'm all in for tools that disrupt the usage of walled gardens.

  • I don't disagree with you, but we all forget that the medium user isn't tech savvy like all of us and it is the main reason they get predated upon by big tech.

  • With PopcornTime it was the same thing, but it got too popular
