You’ll want the amd64.deb file for debian unless your computer has an arm cpu in which case it would be the arm64.deb. Nicotine+ is a good soulseek client (flathub.org/en/apps/org.nicotine_plus.Nicotine)

Has Asahi matured? Last I heard there were still quite a few unsupported features like touch ID and displayport over usb c
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. I am not a heavy user but occasionally I need to multitask a bit. I upgraded from 16 gb to 32 gb a while back because with 4 open workspaces, a browser in each one plus an email client, signal, a couple libreoffice apps open, and my notes app, it was having to use enough swap space that I noticed the performance hit. A small number of very light users might be ok with 8gb, but most will likely have issues.

It’s probably DRM related. I believe getlibation.com should do the same thing.

Proton VPN and Mulvad has their GUI clients for linux
They do but don’t use Proton. They’re very lazy about their VPN implementations and the clients to be very leaky in general. Plus they neglect all their linux apps.

The difference in frequency of these sexist attitudes in gen z men compared with millennials was at most 5%. I believe your girlfriend’s experience but I don’t think it has much relevance to this study.

Yeah I’m not very familiar with the android landscape since everything that’s not GrapheneOS is a total shitshow. Sounds like app optimization may be less of a concern than I anticipated, that’s great

I’m sure it’ll go pretty well on GrapheneOS

There are a lot of assumptions baked into everything you’re saying. It’s really not that deep. Google Pixels make up a tiny fraction of total mobile market share. This isn’t the start of some doomsday scenario where the only computers available are Google Pixels. You’re allowed to buy what you want. I need a phone anyway, and personally I’d rather have one device than two if I can.
relying on a country that doles out sanctions and bombings like it’s parking tickets.
This is a much larger issue that has little to do with anything we’re talking about

locked down How? They allow users to install 3rd party ROMs and GrapheneOS
unrepairable They’re not the best, but far from the worst. I’ve done multiple repairs on mine without much issue. There are first party parts and guides available on iFixit.

Any apps that are available on Android can be used with desktop mode, including Collabora and OnlyOffice. I assume there will be variable levels of optimization though since this is still so new.

Interesting podcast on this subject: srslywrong.com/…/ep-346-does-parenting-make-you-m…
The conclusion they come to is that becoming more conservative with age generally only applies to low information apolitical people who are sort of vaguely left leaning when they’re young. As they age they become more entrenched in the system, acquire more wealth, etc, and those vaguely conservative ideas they had in the back of their minds become more pronounced. There’s also the overton window shifts that may mean someone who thought of themselves as vaguely liberal in the past may now consider themselves socially conservative in the current climate.

Where does it say that specifically?
See the row labeled “degoogling”
According to e/os themselves, it is degoogled…
Sorry but they are liars. The only truly degoogled android OSs are GrapheneOS and the experimental mobile linux ones.
