- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
This is an unpopular take, but that is reality. It really is affordable out here! If you want more income, learn to repair reliable japanese beaters and commute a little. It’s less busy than the city, and it may bore some, but it keeps the bills paid, the kids fed, and the 401k growing.

It’s good to want, and I say that as someone who would dance for joy if an open source phone became viable. If you think starting a new ecosystem and expecting it to be “good, next gen, priced competitively” is feasible via volunteer work anytime soon, I want whatever you’re smoking :)

Who is we? what group of people has the dev funding and time to produce FOSS hardware and software to compete with the average android phone?
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 1 month ago:
It does not, but I don’t sign into any Samsung/Google things and replace every system app with one from F-Droid including the launcher. The experience is fairly similar to my old pixel with grapheneos like this. I am sure it is far cry from as secure, but I am realistic about my threat model and am willing to make trades to be more sustainable and convenient. The only other difference is the system ui skin, which does its job just fine IMO

Typing this on an samsung xcover 6 pro right now. Costs less than 200 used, has a removable battery, up to 1tb micro SD card support, and a headphone jack.
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 2 months ago:
Mullvad disabled port forwarding. Bad for torrents. That was when everyone I know stopped using it.

sys + v can be bound to bring up clipboard history if you are using KDE!

What material are you using to print your enclosures? I know abs is pretty bad for car type heat…
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 2 months ago:
I just rebuilt mine and can confirm that most of those resume template builders utilize a lot of word doc “hacks” to format everything, and loading and LibreOffice breaks it.
