At least they represent one of them. You seem to represent exactly none of them.

Looks like they accept monero and bitcoin among other crypto, did they not have that before?

On bazzite, you also can. It just works a bit different because it’s an atomic distro

Yeah, bazzite, or any atomic distro, is not something I would recommend to someone coming from windows. It’s just too different in some ways.

Been running bazzite myself as a fairly experienced linux user and love it though.

You don’t, there’s privacy respecting ways of delivering notifications in android.

Also, a 24/7 connection to a server isn’t nearly as bad as you might think.

The connection isn’t active the whole time, it only uses any significant amount of battery if there’s actually data being sent or received. You likely already have quite a few of them anyway, how do you think systems normally listen for push notifications?

Besides all that, I read in other comments that the privacy issue was the device id firebase needs. Obviously apple also needs some kind of device id, otherwise how do they know where the notifications are going?

Did some searching, yup apple also needs a unique identifier:

When it’s time to send a notification, you generate a request that contains the notification data and a unique identifier for the user’s device.

From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting-up-a-remote-notification-server

That doesn’t have anything to do with how you install the app.

+1 for breezy weather, the app itself looks really nice as well

I hate that. My pixel tablet has it as well, and besides it being terribly unreliable which is surely just that particular implementation, it’s also annoying when it does work. Just want to quickly turn on the screen to pause music or check a notification or something, and it’ll just immediately unlock. No thanks, I prefer separate actions to be separate buttons.

I have never had a suspicious transaction, because the way payments work here (NL) they always need to be authorised, and recurring payments require a different authorisation that you can of course always cancel. You can’t just take money by knowing the card number and cvv (which we also don’t have (yet)).

Ahh so it’s just a very unfortunate series of events, that makes more sense then.

But why does the receipt need to be stapled to anything at all? Just give it to the person or put it in the bag.

That’s the one. I dong get any insights either, but iirc it did stop my emails from automatically going to spam. It’s been a while though, and I remember trying a whole bunch of different things, but I believe that’s what eventually fixed it.

Though now that I think about it, I did have to register my domain with Google in some way to stop being flagged as spam iirc.

I also self hosted for years (using tuta mail with my own domain now), and have never had issues with my deliverability either.

A previous laptop I had came with win 11. At first I installed win 10 on it cause I needed that for work, touchpad just would not work. Finding the drivers for win 11 was already almost impossible without installing some shitty device detector program from msi, win 10 versions just did not exist.

Installed Linux on it eventually, and it worked perfectly out of the box.

You also don’t have to use whatever Google wants you to use. You can change the default assistant, though I don’t use any voice assistant so I don’t know what alternatives are out there, besides home assistant which is probably a bit much for most people.

.com is not the cctld for the us, that would be .us

Yeah it doesn’t make any sense. They’re just blocking pretty big parts of the internet all at once, of which most was probably not even illegal content to begin with, and might have been actual legitimate businesses that are now blocked from selling anything online there.

Yes but AFAIK they have that right because they argued they were losing a lot of money to pirates.

My bank requires either the mobile app, or a physical device you have to put your card into and scan a qr code with. Very inconvenient, especially on the go.

Fortunately though my bank’s mobile app works on GrapheneOS, but that might not be the case for everyone.
