Full disk encryption always seemed the most sensible to me, but I’m not sure whether that needs to be decrypted after hibernation.

That’s pretty much my ThinkPad’s Specs. Fine for almost all stuff I have to do on the go (expect CAD, don’t try to run BricsCAD on the thing, it’ll make you go crazy.)

I use full disk encryption on it, as on all my other devices, and it’s fine, speed-wise. The SSD is NVME, not SATA, but I doubt the performance impact would be noticeable on a SATA SSD if that’s what you’ve got.

I get called like once or twice a week, and it’s usually something time sensitive or important. Always found people just flat out refusing to answer the phone crazy.

YT App patched with revanced still works for me, and the app uses less battery for me than the browser version. Privacy wise, the browser is presumably better, though.

My home page looks the same either way, though.

I think that assuming that editorial decisions are never influenced by financial interests would be naive, but they’re such a big organisation that covers such a breadth of topics that it would also seem foolish to assume a douplicitous intent behind every story. It might just be journalist covering a currently relatively widely discussed topic.

Also, Reuters generally does quite well in remaining relatively neutral in their coverage (though that impression might of course just be based on my biases).

Well, producing illegal drugs seems to be generally rather high risk, high reward. You’d also need a lab, possibly employees, a distribution network, and might encounter potentially rather violent competition, though, so I’d say there might be a few more cost centres other than the raw materials.

I mean, we all knew it was quite easy, but I still think that it’s journalistically valuable to go through with it to see, and show how easy it actually is.

I mean, Gmail isn’t necessarily a bad email service. Most people on here probably just want to avoid giving Google more data about them. Whether other VoIP Providers are better on privacy - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Twilio, or Vonage, maybe? A lot of the phone stuff as a service thingies are more b2b focused, and a lot less easy to use and integrate than Google Voice (if you’re not using them as a company).

Also saw some people reccomend voip.ms, but I have no personal experience with them.

Would you link one? Because the only things I know of are the small coral accelerators that aren’t really comparable, and specialised data centre stuff you need to request quotes for to even get a price, from companies that probably aren’t much interested in selling one direct to customer.

If my CPU looked like that, I’d be a tad worried.

I mean, they’re pretty old planes. I don’t expect them to rip out all the equipment and replace it if it still does the job.

Your instance is the address behind the @. So yours is lemmy.world, theirs is, fittingly, yiffit.net.

Water. Cold brew black or green tea if I’m feeling frisky.

one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned

Yeah, let’s keep it to one kind of gambling. I like and use opensuse tumbleweed. Rolling release, never had stability problems.

Yeah, fuck the KMT. But as you have recognised, they aren’t a dictatorship anymore.

And the status quo is that they are de facto a small independent island nation, that is de jure claiming mainland China.

You have an island governed by a democratically elected government, with a population that from what I remember mostly doesn’t want to be assimilated into the PRC. The PRC taking it by force would, in my eyes, be rather imperialistic.

Neat, thanks.

The same attitude, not the same words. Both “I use Linux, that makes me better”, and “I use Windows because I actually need to get work done” seem rather smug to me.

It could of course be “I use Windows for my needs, but recognise that other might be happier with a different experience”, but to me it feels like “I am a serious adult, and they are not.”

If we wanna go down that metaphor than it’d be in a world where the only options for a fully featured experience currently where a mac and a Chromebook.

Fully Foss Smartphones are great as a concept, and I hope that Linux on mobile gets to a point where it’s usable as a sail driver, but it isn’t there yet for me, and I believe the same applies to a lot of people, which is kinda ironic to say in a comment thread in which I just wrote about recognising how personal experiences aren’t necessarily universally applicable, but whatever.
