If you cook them they stop stinging.

My smart switches have zero downtime. If I attack my server with an hatchet I lose smart functionality but pressing the switch still works, just like yours.
It doesn’t take much to avoid the bullshit devices.
- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 2 days ago:
Aerial dueling in Starsiege Tribes was a high for me that I will always chase. Any game that offers that freedom of movement + timing of shots always piques my interest. Wall running and leaping as the Alien in AVP 2 did much the same.
Yeah, I’ve never ever found anything comparable to the original Tribes, the gameplay plus the multiplayer, it was an incredible mix. I had already been playing Quake 2 online before, but air dueling while skiing around in Tribes was an incredible rush.

Look, I’m sorry you got invested in Youtube channels and now feel betrayed, but that’s something everyone else already understood: don’t blindly trust anyone or any organisation, they can be bought, and will when it’s advantageous to do so.
In the meantime, don’t shit on people’s work without a good reason, or you’re doing the work for those who mean to control you.

I haven’t played it in years, but I have fond memories of FreeSpace 2 and it’s open source community version. A quick search turned this up.

Yeah sure so you’ve destroyed your car, stopped buying fuel, gave up sigarettes, stopped buying stuff from Amazon, gave up the supermarket, single use plastics, gave up Windows and let’s be honest, any other computer manufacturer aside from super niche ones? Because I guarantee you that the money you spend in that stuff is magnitudes more damaging than whatever tiny bit of a framework computer’s value is going towards these two developers, let alone the fraction that they may actually invest in nefarious deeds.
People need to learn to pick their battles.

I bought one because I’m tired of having to scour ebay or AliExpress for replacement parts for my laptops.
I think people too often try to spend the minimum possible amount of money for a certain set of specs and then forget about build quality, support and so on.

Right, forgot about the contacts, those are on Nextcloud as well. What’s the advantage of radicale over NC?
I still run the play store, but I get what I can from F-Droid. I’m not familiar with the MS authentication app, but I use Ente Auth, idk if that’s comparable.

I’m at the difficult stage of contemplating how to decom my gmail email, and the Google account itself.
I have a couple of domains at OVH, and for the last few years I’ve been using email aliases when making accounts, all redirecting to my Gmail. The other day I had enough, created a mailbox on one of the domains, changed all aliases to this new address, and installed Thunderbird mobile. So far it’s been going well.
The webmail runs roundcube, which is usable but not great. The biggest problem I’ve had is the inability to create automatic filters. - Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:

EU rules have to exist in order to regulate a certain thing, and even once they exist they don’t apply automatically, each country has to codify and adapt them in their own legal frameworks. There are time limits to do this.
