This happens in other countries as well. I’ve been told to speak the local (non-English) language when visiting friends overseas when having a private conversation.

Generally, it seems to be nosy old people who are upset about not being able to eavesdrop

Or how bumblebee did an “rm -rf” on uninstall without a quoted path, which ended up nuking important directories

Server or desktop, and what types of files? I find that a self-hosted version of NextCloud does pretty well for keeping contacts, images, and videos in sync.

(You could run it on a Pi as an intermediary to both if desired)

I used to use stuff like AndFTP in the past for similar functions

I’ve been fairly happy with Alfred locks using ZigBee. There’s still a Bluetooth+App component to those as well for adding choices but you don’t need it to use ZigBee for locking/unlocking or viewing status.

Don’t use the wifi bridge though. I briefly tried that and it connects to some address hosted in AliCloud of all frigging places

Imagine if it didn’t work on your device. Lawnchair apparently isn’t available on Android 12 without sideloading.

In the list of available apps I see “Neo Launcher Hyperion SciFi” (no plain “Neo Launcher”) and the first thing that I notice with that is the “contains ads” flag.

Nova, meanwhile, comes up consistently among searches for launchers, and up until when I stopped using it provided a good mix of functionality and customization (ad-free, and without sideloading). It’s disappointing to learn it’s run by a company that may be likely to harvest data

It also made it a lot easier to migrate between devices, and I’m the earlier data had features that are common now but not so much then.

I dropped it due to crashing issues with a new phone. Seems a good thing that I did

If you want pretty good color screen, try the Boox Tab Mini C

Just do a “RetroPie” install on Linux. It was originally built for Pi’s but works fine on 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu etc

The country did come together, enough to vote the fucker out. I really, REALLY hope they do so again. It would be nice if they also gave the boots to the ones that enabled and shielded him in the other branches of the executive too.

Shall I interestingly assume you’re totally ok with international assassinations being on the menu then? Where would you like them to serve it up next? And how?

How about Russian style with a little polonium tea?

Careful with those mental exercises bud, you might give yourselves a nosebleed.

Actually, a lot of the ex-Americans I’ve worked with are a pretty mixed bag, race-wise, and it’s not really surprising that non-white portion might have extra reasons to not be comfortable with the potential government of the future (that said, they might not be too impressed with the potential future government in Canada either).

I’ve also had the pleasure of working and socializing with a good number of intelligent, well-educated immigrants from India etc, but there’s a difference between bringing in educated members of a foreign country and opening the floodgates for McJobs so that corporations can keep on a cheap and easily-controllable workforce.

I’d welcome Americans looking to get away from fascism, but I’m not terribly impressed by bringing in large numbers of people from any country who bring their conflicts and hatreds from the motherland to here.

Yeah, totally racist to be upset when other countries carry out assassinations here.

Maybe we can take more of them in Canada instead of from places that commit international assassinations

Yeah but if the primary maintainers are in the US it’ll take a bit before a new group can really work on it in a productive manner

The same people that would use the “they made the software that was used for infringement” will be the ones stating that “the manufacturer of this firearm is not responsible for it being used in this mass-shooting”.

Kinda funny how the main driving point behind their argument is “does this affect me and my bottom line”

For companies that have a legacy product depending on the old OS, but unpatched vulnerabilities because said OS is EoL, maybe this may one day be an appealing option.

My car’s a stick, my wife’s is electric. One of the reasons I don’t really like automatics as I don’t like how it always felt the car wanted to “drive itself” as soon as I let off the brake, and the ability to still gear down it up for conditions.

My wife’s car pretty much covers most of that. It doesn’t go until I hit the gas.

The thing has a huge amount of torque and acceleration for a passenger vehicle, and engine braking actually recovers power on downhill.

It corners very nicely. The balance is more towards center than my car due to the battery weight in the bottom-middle.

If I have to give up my clutch, an electric is probably the best choice IMO

Some of them very likely are foreign intelligence operatives attempting to influence locally.

Yeah the Docker version hated me, mainly due to it sometimes getting a bit behind on updates and then having schema mismatches if I ran an update in that missed the previous one. No issues with the Snap thus far

Well somebody is feeling brave :-)

Have you tried logging out and in again?
