What an emotional rollercoaster of a blog: pride, sadness, nostalgia, anger and pride again.

Wow

Yeah I’ve been getting deprecation warnings about that every time I start ./the-beach It still has a runtime dependency on AMOC

PostmarketOS allows you to use upstream Linux

Old PCs are plenty powerful and compatible with everything, but if energy consumption is a major concern, an old phone can work too.

You are 100% right that Android is a very weird Linux and Termux is limited.

PostmarketOS is a project that enables installation of a full upstream Linux onto old phones. Then you can run whatever (ARM-supporting) distro you like on it, without weird kernel limitations.

Wow, amazing!

There are some good answers there already

You’re not advertising 196.x.x.x routes to your tailnet?

So, fish are paraphyletic to whales?

If you are successful as a content creator, whatever the platform, you have great marketing, communications and branding skills. How transferable do you want the skills to be?

Maybe Signal drains battery when it can’t use Google Play Services for notifications and falls back to keeping a connection alive to Signal servers instead?

Tell your buddy you can play Helldivers with him!

Helldivers 1 and 2 are platinum and gold rated on ProtonDB with recent reports on both confirming they work well.

You’re both right: one doesn’t exclude the other.

• Yes we need to be more careful about privacy and who we trust with our data
• Yes we need to protest and take a stand against fascism

If selfhosting the family chat is not a goal in itself and it’s about privacy or being independent from big tech, just take the loss and go to Signal. Much smoother experience than any self-hosted messenger can provide for now.

It’s incredibly small. Highly developed urban areas, great cycling infrastructure, better trains than Germany, mild climate year-round, some parks and the rest of the country houses the highest concentrations of cows, pigs and chickens.

Housing prices are even worse than the rest of Europe, income tax is high, cost of living is high, but still worth it for many people due to good work-life balance, child-focused education, good infrastructure, mild climate and basically almost Scandinavian culture, but with more sunlight.

We can be quite closed off and hard to get in touch with, and even rude. I usually tell Anglo-Saxons that we may seem autistic compared to their social norms.

French Guyana: “Am I a joke to you?”

Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server

If Mint works for you, just stick with it. No need to try a different distribution to compare. You’ll know when you need it.

I would only go to Fedora if you need it. For example newer drivers (kernel, mesa). Don’t go change the kernel and/or mesa on a distribution, probably better to switch at that point. Or if you need KDE or GNOME for some reason. Wayland is disabled in Mint by default, but can be enabled. It’s been over a year IIRC since they added experimental Wayland support so it may be fine by now.

Differences between Linux distributions are exaggerated.
