The trick to not having crooked picture frames on Linux is to throw out components that refuse to be straightened (and you'll run into many of these, especially if you're on a distro pushing snap on you.) If you pull out everythin

Sure but then you need a replacement that can do equivalent things (so for vim, notepad would be enough, but iOS doesn't even come with a text editor. You have notes but that only edits files in your mailbox. You can install an app but

I actually don't share your experience. My Linux machines are all more reliable than the best smartphones I've had. Flagship Android phones have been the worst in my experience, most can't make it a week without crashing, not

I had an Android. Every update made Termux less and less capable (IIRC exec is very complex or impossible in a recent one.) Now I have a Pinephone running a normal X11 DE and I don't have to tolerate an ounce of stupidity. Sure there a

As someone who had a few pre-smartphone PDAs: Smartphones absolutely are high powered shit. On paper they're amazing but the ecosystem limits you to scrolling instagram and only a handfull of accepted IMs (iOS struggles with XMPP and I

I would be shocked if people couldn't find an RCE in an early 2000s flip phone. I had a friend who had hers since 2010 and MMS crashed it all the time.

Or just use free form filler. Especially if all you have is a W-2 and maybe some stock sales there's no reason not to do it yourself.

It's similar to the idea that's popular here: people in single family housing need to move to make way for multi family housing so we can bring in more immigrants.

I've always felt like carving up the digital spectrum more specifically than just giving it to different use cases (HAM, commercial, consumer etc) is harmful. Modern digital modes can transmit over each other on the same frequency and

They're specifically for HAMs. You should not be transmitting on FRS with those even if the software lets you do it, that's why there's no distinction: the user is expected to know what they're doing. RE: Preppers Most o

That's a good thing. There are a number of mutually exclusive positions the left and right simply don't agree on. At this point the only way to achieve peace is if like minded people moved together and the ones that don't get

A couple years ago including "intersection of race, society, and law" in math books was the hot new thing (a lot of "black people can't empathize with the names in the math book" etc.) Articles about it even showed

The EG.25 (Pinephone modem) baseband (not the Linux firmware (and of course, not the application processor OS)) blob source was up on Github for a while. I read through part of it. I think they managed to get it taken down with a DMCA reque

It's worse: The Analytics tools know so much about you that they can actually predict what you're thinking much of the time. They know the new family went to your church and know you would likely talk about it.

Yeah. My first non-lego robot was almost identical to this and about as cheap. Although the esp32 wasn't out at the time and I used those cheap bluetooth serial modules. An interesting general purpose robot platform would support some
