My Pixel 6 Pro battery expanded last year and popped the screen off, and when I contacted support they immediately sent me a new phone and a box to return the old one

I use Fedora Asahi Remix currently, and I want to switch to NixOS but am uncertain about the MacBook support, and even if it was good switching would take longer than it’s worth unless my current installation stops working for whatever reason

For documents I started learning Typst and LaTeX a while ago and now I greatly prefer either of them over LibreOffice. Being able to write comments that don’t render in the PDF is also very useful (i.e. when I do my homework in LaTeX/Typst I’ll put class notes there as well)

I used to never close tabs and they would accumulate as I kept doing more web searches and other activities. Now when I need to do stuff I usually open a new window instead for different tasks and if I need to free up RAM then I start closing other windows for tasks I’m not doing anymore so it closes all of the related tabs at the same time

Nowadays with Apple, the bigger issue is the ARM Linux ecosystem being neglected in terms of support rather than the hardware compatibility (that is for M1/M2). The hardware for the most part works except for USB-HDMI and fingerprint (which didn’t work on my HP laptop either).

There’s also Kiwi Farms targeted harassment involved as well

Right now I use mainly Firefox, not because I like it but because it comes with my distro (whereas LibreWolf requires Flatpak) making it work well with the PWA project and it supports weird hacks necessary to install Widevine on my system so I can listen to Tidal. I also have LibreWolf installed with data set to delete on close and set up to proxy over Tor and I2P using privoxy and has LibRedirect installed which is set up to redirect to the corresponding onion/i2p domains. I was trying to install Zen Browser using the Guix package manager earlier but had problems, but I might try again later.

On Android, I use Vanadium for sites I stay logged into, Cromite with auto clearning history for other stuff, and Ironfox for Kagi and to use plugins like LibRedirect.

also on debian or ubuntu based distros you have the biggest selection of programs available.

AUR and nixpkgs have a massive amount of packages and are more up-to-date, and basically anything not on there can be installed with Flatpak

Would also be interesting to see a Rust version of Genode

I use the FairEmail client

I’ve used Ayugram and Nagram and haven’t been banned

It also blocks Tor, other instances don’t

reddit actually defended the piracy subreddit? lmao

And it will be running on Deepin also

Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I’m not sure how else you can use the protocol

(if so, then assuming everything is on Odysee then it’s about as federated as Bluesky)

Asahi Linux doesn’t support encryption and getting it to work requires a lot of steps and that I reinstall it which I don’t have time for, so I don’t have it enabled on my laptop, and if it gets stolen or confiscated I’m fucked.

I have it enabled on my server and phone.

I started my self hosting journey on a Dell all-in-one PC with 4 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, and Intel Pentium, running Proxmox, Nextcloud, and I think Home Assistant. I upgraded it eventually, now I’m on a build with Ryzen 3600, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, and 4x4 TB HDD

On Telegram, MyInsta is “instasmash”, Instaflow is “instaflowupdates”

There isn’t a functional open source frontend that I’m aware of, the best you can get is modded like MyInsta or Instaflow (or Revanced if you want open source mods)
