I’ve had really good experience with Genymotion android emulation on Linux, even on underpowered devices. Might work well to do video calls

Thank you, I missed that
Most of this is right, but needs some things corrected.
LOS is kept up by individual maintainers of the devices, and so it can cover more of them. But that also means you expand your attack surface to lineage, maintainer, microg, etc. And that’s just on supported devices. Unofficial devices are even more wild-west, having much delayed releases, OS updates, security updates, everything.
Not only that, but Lineage requires that you unlock your bootloader and often have your phone rooted to be able to do everything. This introduces special points of insecurity and possible issues in the future.
GOS is from a single source, for a single line of phones, and uses a designed method to load cryptographically signed ROMs onto the device, and then validate updates using the same method. The Play Services are sandboxed and disabled by default, so you can just never use them if you want. Overall, this makes for a more cohesive device. One that is more private and more secure. Especially so, when you can buy a new Pixel device and have guaranteed updates for as long as Google will do so for the same device.
There’s anonymity and privacy. This keeps you private from other users, and they already keep you private from themselves other than the initial sign up. What this service isn’t, and never has been, is anonymous. They don’t want that and there are big usability issues with an extended anonymous user base. Decide for yourself what you need
OLED over transflective, do you get all the bright colors but it can go transparent and use the sunlight readable and low power screen when that makes sense
Highly agreed, and I came from Standard Notes most recently. Desktop, web, mobile, syncing, and does it all well enough I bought the upgraded pro version to support the model
I haven’t, just something I came across when I was researching the same thing. Part of my plans soonish, tho
Try Flex Launcher: https://complexlogic.github.io/flex-launcher/
On display you’ve got it bashed by turbo bright florescent or LED retail lights, same as on review videos. In real life you just almost never have that environment, and almost never notice it.
The hinge is probably the most sturdy thing on the whole phone, more than the screen itself. If you’re around a lot of sand or pocket dust, maybe this isn’t the right phone or you need to be careful about cleaning the gaps regularly, but otherwise that’s not a problem
The OS let’s you run up to 5 apps simultaneously, split screen or floating, with two different navbars to call them up. It’s honestly the best multitasking on a mobile device period
They’re not the right device for everyone, but they’re much more ready for normal use than most people think
To be fair, this is how the YouTube algorithm requires big channels to act to maximize views, ads, and money. They’ve got way too many people reliant on that income to do anything different than exactly what best optimization strategies work
I believe he has plans for that
People make fun of Enya’s music but it’s really well produced and exactly what she likes to make. What a great life, making art you love, really well, never touring, and living with your cats in a castle
I like Bitwarden because it’s reliable, secure, feature-rich, and incredibly reasonably priced. But also, if they ever do something that crosses the line, I can spin up a Vaultwarden on a VPS and move my vault in an hour or two.
It’s the same reason I host a dumb blog on WordPress owned infrastructure. I support FOSS companies, and like the ejector button freedom.
Since we’re talking Ubuntu, I’d add
“flatpak update” and “snap refresh” to the cron
