I’ve been very impressed by the out-of-the-box experience with Pop!_OS. My Steam games work, and I have Elder Scrolls Online running through Lutris.

So far, everything just works.

Absolutely this. I pay for both my Proton and Notesnook accounts. No ads, no trafficing my data, and services I like and believe in.

Murena phones look promising. And you can download their e/OS if you want to flash the phone you have, provided it’s supported. https://murena.com

Mainly the 5000 character limit. It handles MFM (though I don’t really use it), and features like antennas (very specific follow lists).

+1 for Sharkey. It’s my favorite of the protocols, so far.

Horse shit.

He’s not going anywhere. Not when this whole shooting match is set up for rampant election denial. You’re going to have election officials in certain states refusing the results, and then shit gets interesting: Enter the very corrupt SCOTUS.

Now, there may be procedural …stuff that I maybe haven’t taken into account, so maybe I’m just crazy. Or maybe I’m just so checked out on this whole shit show that I’m like … Man, I’m just done.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I’m planning on flashing my One Plus 9 Pro with Murena’s ROM. I’m working on getting de-googlefied.

Myself, I use my bank’s web portal via my mobile browser. Not as instant as an app, but it gets the job done.

Love me some FreeDoom.

The prospect of being shown up on such a big stage by a black woman is terrifying to him.

You have a whole community backing you! And once you’ve installed the OS, you’ll feel like you can conquer the world.

Windows Recall did it for me. I switched to Pop!_OS Linux and have been pretty content so far.

My great uncle shot Nazis during WW II, and didn’t seem too broken up about it.

In all honesty, I am very ADHD, and don’t have the executive function to run one. I’m trying to get better, but I don’t want to wind up disappointing anyone.

No, but then again, I haven’t really been looking. I need to remedy that. I also want to seek out any communities that are centered around Western Hindus, such as myself. I feel pretty alone some days.

I miss the r/Hinduism community quite a bit. It was a real help for me when I first started following that particular path. Lots of friendly, helpful people.

Thing is, when the whole api fracas happened, I deleted my account and vowed not to use that site again.

I think the only way to know is to start a community. It may be small, but if it’s active, fun, and full of good discussion (and occasional good-natured trash talk), it can grow.
