I’m currently using an iPhone and I had planned to go back to Android the next time I upgraded because I missed F-Droid, Obtainium, and the choice of different browser engines more than I expected. This kind of throws a wrench into that plan. If my choice is between walled garden and walled garden, why switch?

I’m currently looking into LineageOS to see if the cons of it are something I can tolerate. GrapheneOS seems cool but every pixel I’ve had has been unusable in the summer due to how it heats up and slows down to compensate. This sucks

If you know iptables, just stick with that. In my testing, docker containers seem to ignore ufw rules. Supposedly, iptable rules are respected but I haven’t learned iptables yet so I can’t verify.

SerpentOS is it’s own thing. It’s from the same guy who made Solus which was also it’s own thing.

Look up Ikey Doherty if you want to know more.

From my experience with Solus, I don’t have high hopes for SerpentOS but I’d love to be wrong about that

Leaves the help/tips app icon in the dock. Proof Mark Rober is a psychopath.

I’ve seen some youtubers recommend OnShape. It’s a browser based CAD app so it should work fine.

I always forget. Can we do a release upgrade to this or do we have to wait until 24.04.1?

Edit: Nvm. You can update today

Be careful with linseed oil, the rags/paper towels you use to rub the oil on can spontaneously combust hours after you’ve thrown them away. Dispose of them properly and you’ll be fine.

• fish
• tmux
• sshfs
• htop
• nmap
• distrobox (haven’t tried this yet but looks amazing)
• zfs (and any utilities that go with that)
• sanoid
• syncoid
• tailscale
• snapper (if using btrfs)

As far as config files go, I haven’t gotten around to automating those so I usually search my nas for old ones and copy/paste what I need

I’ve heard good things but after all this time, I still fume when I hear Star Wars. Maybe one day

6 movies that tell the rise, fall, and redemption of the Skywalker family just for 3 more movies to have them stumble, fall again, die out, and ultimately have the galaxy be saved by the big bad’s grand daughter who came out of no where, but it’s ok, she’s a Skywalker in spirit 🤷‍♂️

No I completely agree with you. Without those first two Abrams Trek movies, I probably wouldn’t have ever watched any of the Trek shows.

Him and Rian Johnson fucked Star Wars though. Completely ruined it for me and I refuse to watch any new Star Wars content.

Great, now partner with Microsoft and merge it with Windows so the majority of Android users might finally stop emailing themselves, or sending files through their messaging app of choice

In the US, corporations are people

You’re thinking ahead to 30-40 years from now.

I think it’ll affect us a little sooner but generally, yeah, that’s exactly it

If the narrow screen bugs you, it’s worth considering the Pixel Fold IMO

I had the Pixel 7 Pro and when it was cool outside, it was great. It ran warm though and I’m outside a lot so when it got to summer, it became frustrating to use. Just getting the camera to open took twice as long and navigating the UI would be inconsistently choppy. I’m probably going to wait until the Tensor G4 or G5 (the later being rumored to use TSMC’s foundry) before seriously considering a pixel again.

Fold 6 it is

Ignoramuses who believe Android is technologically falling behind

Not sure if that was a general statement of directed at me so I guess I’ll say that I don’t believe Android is falling behind, I just think that if the overwhelming majority of Americans are using iPhones, it will be detrimental to the experience of using an Android phone in America as the years go on. Recent articles have said it’s something like a 50/50 split of between iPhone and android users who are adults but closer to 87/13 for teens. That’s concerning because they are getting locked in and unless Apple makes a major misstep, they’ll likely get iPhone’s for their kids when the time comes. It’s looking like a slow burn

How do you like your fold 5? I was considering getting one but I’m kind of turned off due to the narrow cover screen; holding out for the fold 6. I haven’t used a Samsung phone since touchwiz and have been switching between Pixel’s and iPhones ever since. How is OneUI after a year or so of use, any slowdown or have they pretty much fixed that?
