I would say I have more of a limited view rather than a twisted view. I have used friend’s decks (don’t own one) and haven’t run into issues like that. That boot issue is top-tier ridiculous… You need to be able to power off your devices

Debian does regular ARM builds and that would likely work

Edit: I run it with VMWare Fusion on a VM

Wow all those are features I want to work properly on a device.

Not to downplay Signal, their encryption is good and they added anti-quantum technology, but I miss what Wikr used to be. Friggin corporate takeovers.

Linux was never strong at graphical type things though. I think one of the reasons for a JRE for Android was a graphical setup. You take out the Java, get the bare OS. The Pi is pretty basic. SteamDeck works well because of the people working on Proton which also functions extremely well for Linux desktop Steam users. Hats off to them and I definitely appreciate all that work

The app compatibility is what I’d be most worried about. Not enough people want to buy them since there are bugs. But there aren’t enough people buying to justify devs fixings these bugs. It needs some momentum, it seems

Did you own one? I’ve yet to meet someone that has so any other insight would be appreciated.

High pain tolerance like using Linux as a daily back in ‘06?

The pine64 products all look quite nice. I was thinking of getting one of those phones (Linux based) next time mine dies. I can confirm the pinecil is the best soldering iron I’ve used and it’s only $26. The laptop they sell also has decent stats

In my town it is a city utility like electricity and water. Gigabit fiber up/down for $70 with net neutrality

Welcome to the club! You’ll never swap back. There’s a lot of good info here already so I won’t repeat a bunch of stuff.

The brushes with a nice block of lotioned cream are best but can cream still works fine. I got a $30 screw top razor and can get very close. I go with the grain then reapply cream and go against. One thing to be extremely careful of is never slide it sideways ha. It’s a blade.

Likely the first time you use it you’ll lop off any imperfections in your skin. Those generally grow back flat. I shave my head with one and the first couple shaves when I switch styles are a bloodbath lol

Nice yeah coffee isn’t always the play for me either for that reason. I like Yerba mate and white/green tea too

I like short coffee naps. It makes it really easy to get up afterwards. I’d only recommend it if you are able to fall asleep almost instantly though.

Basically you chug a cup of coffee and then nap, setting an alarm for 20-30m. Once you get woken up the coffee will be mostly in your system and you’ll feel really refreshed.

It’s plausible since humans probably have different sensitivities for their ears. I live in a city with a train that goes right through the middle of it. It’s got no guard rails and if you’re driving you could reach out and touch it if you wanted. They are required to blast their horns every X meters for safety at max decibels of 110. The closest I’ve been is 3 or 4 meters when it went off. I didn’t get any hearing damage from it though and I haven’t heard of anyone else getting any. That could be related to how close the source of sound was though.

So I would conclude with it’s probably unlikely that was the sole cause as people are around trains all the time. Plus I’m sure plenty of people get amber alerts through there.

I feel like the easiest way to make that happen is by getting it into state level voting systems first. IIRC MN has started.

Either that or get a president in who doesn’t talk about it and then pushes for it after getting in. And the only way that would succeed is when all the dinosaurs retire or pass

Yeah third party apps can do end to end encryption. It uses the data network and not the cellular network then though.

Google Fi on Android actually does run E2E on calls https://fi.google.com/about/end-to-end-encrypted-calls/

It’s the Plex life for me now

I canceled ✊

Yes

Everyone knows this isn’t suicide but they are so brazen because there are no consequences. What do we need to do so that there are?

I miss Wikr
