I'd say go with LineageOS

I don't know much about it but I am all for open-source hardware.

Fortunately, no. I played after a few years.

One of my favorites is Batman: Arkham Knight. It uses Unreal Engine 3 and looks shockingly good despite it. Goes to show how much art direction matters.

I don't see how systemd is in the wrong here. Curious, what would you change about it?

When I need to create scratch files I usually operate in /tmp. Almost all directories there that I saw were using randomized paths (e.g. UUIDs). I guess this is to prevent problems mentioned in the article. So, I believe this would be a vulnerability of snap, not systemd.

I use Fedora where /tmp is created as tmpfs, which lives in RAM and is cleared when the system is shut down. I wonder what's the benefit of Ubuntu's approach.

Do they imply Wayland forces apps to have CSDs? It is only GNOME that does it.

I run it in a rootless Podman container using Quadlets. Instead of opening the server's ssh port, I only port-forward the container's ssh port (e.g. 22 -> 2222). I have sign-ups enabled, since I want people to be able to contribute (or just create issues). But I have configured the server so that nobody can create a repository. They can still fork my repos and send a pull request.

I have yet to experiment with Actions. I assume the safest option would be to only enable it for my own commits, but I am not sure.

Voyager has a built-in option for kaomoji and it puts 3 backslashes for it

It doesn't need to know your age. It just provides a way to take a note of your birth date, only if you want to. The system already has a place to write your name and home address. All are optional and practically nobody uses them.

Your right arm is missing

 

It has been a long journey.

I have been gradually convincing my family, close relatives and friends to make the switch to Signal for over two years. I am already the "tech support guy" in all my circles so most didn't really question it. Most of my friends are quite tech-savvy, and some even did use Signal before I talked to them about it.

This also filtered out some "friends" who were never that close to me to begin with. So, that's a bonus, I guess.

Overall, my recommendation to others interested would be to tell people how much you don't like Meta's business model instead of the privacy aspect. I already ditched Facebook and Instagram many years ago, and this helped defend my point a bit better.
