- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 15 hours ago:
Nope.
Well, I don’t use any banking apps, personally. My understanding is that they don’t work under Waydroid.
Other Android apps mostly work fine in Waydroid, so long as they don’t need access to GPS or camera to work properly.
I removed Waydroid a while back, though, as I only needed it for one app and Waydroid took up almost 1/3 of the storage on the phone. It just wasn’t worth it, and I am happier to be rid of the Android ecosystem anyways.
I should mention that the Linux phone life is NOT for everyone.
I should also mention that battery life is still not anywhere close to competitors. Camera is meh but improves with updates.
For my use cases (Phone/SMS/MMS, Lemmy, Mastodon, and a few other apps), it works totally fine and has proven to be reliable enough for almost 3 years. It gets better with age due to updates.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 22 hours ago:
Librem 5.
Cons: Storage and RAM small.
Pros: I haven’t seen a single other phone I would rather own. Android and iOS are dumb as hell. Terrible OSes, in my opinion.
I want a Liberty Phone but can’t justify the money. This works well enough for me. I will almost certainly be buying the L5 successor.
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 1 month ago:
Candidates need to promise to improve the economy. That is how Trump got the votes to push him over in 2024.
- Comment on A black metal band that uses toddlers-having-tantrums as vocalists 2 months ago:
I had the idea to record death metal song with my infant during those days. I had a working title (I’ll puke on you) but never worked out anything past two intro riffs. My kid had the vocals down pat, though.

The second column is all misaligned too.
- Comment on ideas for deadspace behind fridge 3 months ago:
Cut a hole in the floor in there to the basement.
Run a hotwheels track (or similar) from your countertop, though the storage area, through the floor, and down to the basement.
Or more practically, store big/lightweight items and use a reacher grabber thingy as others suggested.

What a fucking loser
- Comment on I'm in a hotel in America with no kettle in my room, if I want tea I have to microwave it. 3 months ago:
It’s rare but some hotels have these in their rooms in the US. I wish they were more common here though. Not enough people use them.
- Comment on What OS does the Batcomputer use? 3 months ago:
Unfortunately it it probably Windows, just so he can run .bat scripts.
- Comment on YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg 4 months ago:
Yup. I have pots with pressure cooker lids, and I just add a tiny but of water in the bottom and basically just steam them for 6 or 7 minutes. Even if I get distracted they are usually still easily peeled and just barely soft in the middle.

- Comment on Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you? 4 months ago:
I have a few Ext4 drives connected and I mount them in /etc/fstab and that’s it.
I’ve yet to find a reason to change it.

- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 5 months ago:
Myself. I stopped following our work dress code after Covid and nobody has complained. Flannel and jeans and a hat == office casual now.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 months ago:
Streaming music never appealed to me. 1TB sd card in my phone with my library synced to it.
- Comment on What's your favourite menu music in a game? 5 months ago:

Unreal Tournament
Glover and Frogger had great music, I am surprised this popped in to my head but there you go.

- Comment on If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action? 5 months ago:
I mean, you are kinda right here, and I admit that my answer was mostly emotional.
I’m not saying I would do that, nor am I suggesting others should. Just that for the sake of cosmic balance, it is deserved.
- Comment on If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action? 5 months ago:
I don’t condone violence normally for any reason, but anyone who does this to anyone clearly deserves a wooden board to the face.
