Just stay away from the Honda Civic

Signal has been pretty throughly audited by data security experts. It’s as secure or more so than Telegram. It uses end to end encryption, same as Telegram. If you’re crossing the border, unlink your device, delete the app, and relink it later. Your account can’t be restore via SMS. I’m not sure what you mean by that. I’m sure my government can collect any data they want if they’re determined enough, but Signal is about as secure as it gets if you’re talking civilian digital communication.

Chats are only synchronized in Signal on actively linked devices. If you link a new device, your chat history will be completely blank at first.

I’ve had bus drivers take the wrong route. Then refuse to stop when I asked so I could just walk to my transfer. Ended up needing to walk over a mile because they told me I’d have to wait for the next stop. It was so infuriating I don’t even blame people for not asking. I submitted a complaint about it later.

Maybe I’m just old, but those all seem like kid games to me.

Better than losing an argument and realizing none of this stupid fucking bullshit matters.

Do you have a plan on how you’d do version controlling on Arch? It’d be annoying to upgrade, something breaks, and you can’t easily roll back.

The university library I’m most familiar with has Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu desktops available.

This checks out. I love fedora but I hate my life.

Not trying to be tough. Just never really thought those pills did much.

I wish GNOME and Fedora would do this. They’re already so close!

Ah yes Bethesda. The company famous for releasing polished games with very few bugs.

Why would a teacher tell you that?

It’s not happening when you try to initiate sleep mode, is it? I have a computer that only ever does something like this when I try to use sleep. I’ve basically just stopped using that feature because nothing I tried ever fixed it. Works completely fine otherwise.

Obtainium does look sick. This might be what I was looking for.

I’d just like to be completely free of Google’s app distribution infrastructure if possible. I’ll have to look into unobtanium. I haven’t heard of that one previously.

There’s no proprietary apps on F-Droid. It doesn’t even have Signal which is open source.

Apple has always at least kept your data semi-private from everyone except them. It’s not perfect and it’s still putting way too much trust in Apple, but it’s preferable to Google selling your data to the highest bidder at will.

I’ve long considered making this switch from iPhone to an ungoogled Android device. What always bothered me is still basically having to install proprietary apps from a Play Store adjacent source. Like the Aurora store is basically just the Play Store logged under someone else’s account. I know you can side load but that’d be a pain to maintain updates. Wish there was like a Flathub-like store on Android I could use instead.
