Cyberwolf

Don’t forget the most important prerequisite: be a psychopath. Something something 12-15% of the world’s top CEOs are clinically psychopaths, so this is the world we get.

Cool, you know who doesn’t have this issue? People who uninstalled the spyware called Windows from their device.

Hope Valve comes up with something eventually

That could be interesting. I want to see how SteamOS goes, but the potential is grand.

In terms of the iPhone being locked down, I’m not sure what you’re looking to do but I personally managed to get ad-free Reddit, YouTube and YouTube music ad-free (+sponsorblock) just using apps from the App Store. All of them free or one-time payment of 3 euros. It was actually easier to do than with Android where I had to “sideload” stuff from GitHub since Android is owned by google and all frontends to their programs are banned.

As long as you get yourself an email that isn’t iCloud you can also take all your contacts and email with you wherever you want. Then you can install KDE Connect as you would on Android and can send files freely between you phone and Pc.

This is all to say, I don’t feel more locked down on the iPhone than on Android, which was a surprise for me.

If android goes the way it’s going, then iPhone is the obvious choice.

Literally the story of Monopoly the board game.

Uh?

All I see is a bureaucratic nightmare. No democracy to be seen, starting from the fact all politicians in the EU are bourgeoisie.

Their servants are all unpaid interns who have a near zero chance of ever staying in Brussels. Those that don’t come from well-off families that can support them will never enter a single EU institution.

Framework is a US company and nobody wants to pay a premium to advance fascism thank you very much.

Thinkpads are a safe choice. I have the same use case as OP and i use one. Battery last 7-8h of light use, plenty for a plugless day’s work.

Thinkpad x1 carbon gen 6, or if you’re willing to up your budget a bit, a x13 is also a great fit.

People aren’t made that way, but competion incentivizes that.

Why oh why would people be against the very institutions where such behaviours are reinforced?

I mean, considering how many bluescreens Windows is giving these days, you’ll probably have a more stable experience in Arch lol.

OpenSUSE tumbleweed: Up-to-date, unbreakable due to Btrfs+snapper, very secure defaults (firewall), based in Germany. It works perfectly on my Thinkpad, so I couldn’t ask for better.

Do you trust them? The Curve sub is full of people complaining about fraudulent transactions. Kinda makes me afraid of unlocking my card lol.

What do you even need those graphics cards for?

Even the best games don’t require those and if they did, I wouldn’t be interested in them, especially if it’s an online game.

Probably only a couple people would be playing said game with me.

Lmao in hindsight I probably didn’t read the graph correctly. Apparently more people want on desktop. I was looking at the dovosoon by country.

Still, are people watching porn in cafes? Or worse, are they masturbating in public? Hmm…

Well, I’m confused as well. Like, I never ever watched porn on my phone. Only on desktop. But apparently I’m a 6% minority.

Install an update and it’s borked? No worries

OpenSUSE also does this.

New PC and you want everything set up just like your old one?

Install scripts? Of course the individual apps definitions still need to be set up again, but I’d imagine it’s the same for Nix?

Is your hardware always the exact same? Because if it isn’t, then I’m sure you have to do modifications to your config file. And at that point you night as well just use a regular distro instead.

We know what the internet would have been without Google and other corporations closing it down because some of us lived it.

It was mostly decentralised niche forums that you had to know the links for, and you’d receive random emails telling you to visit this or that new site. People would also share links around school.

Sure, there was a chance you’d get Chlamydia if you opened the wrong link, but it was exciting and overall the experience was wholesome.
