Oh, a new symptom. I was wondering why I was doing that. Also watching dozens of Crunchyroll series at the same time.

Commenting as a reminder to revisit.

Proud digital commie since 1988 or thereabouts.

Apparently, they don’t need my business. Acceptable.

Or just bypass illegal sanctions.

In the early days, we early adopters tried to bring it into circulation. I bought a few beers with it at the bar once. Sadly, it never kindled.

Thanks, useful information.

1. Do not have a mobile device
2. Do not install anything proprietary or governmental on that device you don’t have
3. Use borderline secure (GrapheneOS) OS on that device you don’t have and don’t unlock it if demanded unless your health and/or life is in danger

Thanks. Once I have a dedicated spare machine again I’ll give it a spin. Haven’t used it in many years.

Nice to see what a power user can do with it. What hardware are you using and are you happy with the performance?

The EU is cosplaying a democracy.

How is QubesOS these days?

Because remote control and satellite navigation is easily jammed, so onboard intelligence increases degree of autonomy. As to little mistakes, nothing you couldn’t bury.

Nothing a little retraining can’t fix. IIRC there are jailbroken open source models out there.

Does XMPP have feature parity with Matrix? I presume that bridges exist?

So is there anything useful outside of Firefox and Chromium derivates? I can’t imagine a Firefox fork lasting too long.

Way back when we didn’t have X we just lived in the CLI console, text mode, no bitmap buffer. Then, when X came up you used the rodent to point at xterm windows. If you’re used to OS X, wait, MacOS, you’re going to try recreating equivalent functionality on Linux, which seems a lot of work. Have you looked into adding a trackpad?

That seems like a safe bet.

Thanks. It’s slightly worse than I thought. I’m kinda limited to communication with my small peer group, so I don’t notice that other user classes exist.

I’m mostly an open source/libre software user (this LineageOS tablet I’m using right now is entirely Google-free) so as long as AOSP upstream is available I should be fine.

I still pay for and use some Google services for the sake of convenience but I could self-host them in principle. Or cease consuming them altogether. Same applies for some proprietary apps.
