As long as it isn’t “carrier locked”, you should be good to go. The thing about Pixels, is that they allow you to unlock the bootloader (and critically, for Graphene, relock it).

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why is Debian always left out of the distro recommendations?
1·8 days agoI think it’s a bit boring. It’s fantastic for servers, and as a base for other distros. I did recently try it after using Mint for years (LMDE recently). I even used it with the Cinnamon DE I’m used to, and I just found it lacked some polish or something. Little niceties here and there. That’s it really. Minor drawbacks, and no advantage to me over LMDE, so that’s what I’m back to.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now
2·11 days agoYes maybe, but. Is that any more or less convenient than a pin/passcode? Also, the most cursory surveillance prior to arrest will note the strange way you unlock your phone.

Linux@lemmy.ml•back to distrohopping. I want a reliable OS (no rando ubuntu fork with no clear release/support schedule) with something else than Plasma or Gnome.
3·11 days agoI also love Mint, though I now run the Debian-based one (LMDE).

6·1 month agoSome shit I’ve seen scuba diving. The halocline where fresh water sits on top of salt water. When you disturb it, it gets all swirly and trippy looking.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts on RCS messaging now that you can use it between Android and iOS?
4·1 month agoAny FOSS apps on Android that support it? Even Google Voice (which I use for work) doesn’t seem to support it. I still get messages like “so and so reacted to your message”.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF ToolkitEnglish
2·1 month agoThanks for this! I saw this post yesterday, and decided to check it out. I installed it locally on my laptop, and am evaluating it for work. If I recommend it for use, we’ll get a license :).
Since the idea would be to replace Adobe for non-Pro (and maybe some Pro accounts), ease of use for low-tech users is at the front of my mind. Not being able to “set as default” for PDFs is not ideal, but I understand the limitation comes from running in the browser. Is there some way to open the PDF, and then choose which tool to use? Rather than how it seems now: choose the tool/function, then upload the PDF.
Traditionally they’ve been email lists. Easy to set up and everyone has an email address.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why don't people ask scammers a few questions?
17·2 months agoA common factor in most social engineering attacks like this or phishing emails, is a sense of urgency. What I tell people is that any sense of urgency should automatically make you suspicious. If someone is trying to get you to act immediately, they are attempting to short circuit your common sense. Nothing is so urgent that it can’t wait 5-10 minutes for you to verify the facts.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do you think voting is or isn't important?
3·2 months agoI always vote, but I also don’t think it really matters. I’ve stopped giving people shit for not voting, because I can’t blame them. Our elections will never result in the kind of changes we need.

I saw one where a guy talked about getting free hotel rooms, and getting a mortgage for a homeless dude. Hacker shit.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Where can I learn about networking?English
2·2 months agoHow I learned the most was building a home server and figuring out all the problems along the way. LAN, WAN, VPN, iptables, DNS…

Damn, you’re right. That sucks.
