I know this is an old comment but for anyone in the future that’s wondering, I’m happy to say the Dell Pen does work out of the box on Mint. I tested with Krita and even the pressure sensitivity works perfectly!

That’s awesome to hear! I’m currently running iode on a OnePlus11 and the built-in firewall and metwork monitoring is awesome! I don’t even use the paid version. Maybe I’ll give fairphone a try next.

- Comment on Fairphone 5 bricked by faulty Android 15 update 5 weeks ago:
I couldn’t agree more. People are like, “Oh I would totally use an alternative phone/OS and/or degoogle… but mah baaanking app!! I shall give up all security, privacy and lick corporate boots for my baaanking app!”
I have accounts with nearly a dozen banks. I have zero banking apps on my phone. It’s had zero impact on my life. Chase Bank needed a phone call to switch 2FA to another method. That was it. My phone’s browser works fine.
YMMV in other countries.

Ebay is full of used flagships that cost very little. With enshitification, many of the older flagships are better than what you could get by buying new for the same price.
Also, fuck contracts. I’ve been using prepaid plans for ages.
- Comment on X down – latest: Twitter and Grok not working in another major outage 2 months ago:
Nope. Not that I’ve seen any myself.

You can post free content on reddit if you enjoy giving your work away for free. But if you’re linked to a pay site you’ll eventually be banned.
X is basically the only option left.
