Maybe I'm just cynical, but I really think Christian should have gone to the police about this. This scammer was NOT a kid, he was a 22 year old adult who needs to take responsibility for his actions. His "apology" isn't

Really? I love TextEdit for making quick changes or viewing a file when I don't want to wait for VSCode or Sublime to start up. I just wish it had regex find/replace support.

Awesome! I already have an activated Verizon SIM so hopefully it'll just work with the Pinephone. If not maybe I can just pick up something from Ting.

Does anyone know if the Pinephone will be able to work on Verizon's network? I am very interested in getting a Pinephone to try out and maybe make some apps for but I don't want to buy another SIM and plan from somewhere else.

Maybe they didn't want tiling for the rest of the windows? Or maybe they use something other than Linux/BSD and can't run a diff window manager.

Electron not supporting ARM or other non-x86 platforms is a big problem that I was not aware of. I wonder if that will change with Microsoft starting to make ARM laptops and Apple being rumored to switch to ARM sometime in the future.

Your first link has zero information to support that wearing a bicycle helmet would do any good, it only suggests it. Personally I doubt a bicycle helmet would do much good because they aren't designed to protect your head in such an e

How is this any different of a scenario than having the bank manager memorize a password? They can still force the bank manager to give up the password by threatening to blow their brains out.
