+1 for Bazzite (or another one from https://universal-blue.org/ ), very hard to destroy, if an update breaks something just choose old install during boot and wait a few weeks before trying again. I am kinda savvy but don't really need (or can 😸) tinker with the system.

Where are you based? Maybe someone from https://endof10.org/ or another local hacker grouo could help you in person. There are regular install parties in my city.

You don't say! One of the key things to spot these people is them using "gender critical" (that phrase! It makes no sense! Are they "oxygen critical" as well? Wth.) instead of TERF / transmisic.

I mean it's not like western / European media isn't sanewashing him whenever they can get around quoting him directly, they pretend that he's "a bit weird and maybe not so nice" (so as per usual for a rich, disgusting fascist, but still disheartening to see).

Did this work for you? I'm earning my living as an illustrator and designer and for me it's part of the process that what I envision and what ends up on the (digital) paper is never the same. And that is ok, sometimes I feel it was better "in my head" but almost always whatever ends up in reality takes over / erases what I thought I wanted to do. Which is ok as well.

I also think if you never drawn before you could for sure just draw stuff in your head but it might be a good idea to at some point (or even start with) doing classic "learn to draw stuff" like doing online or in person courses, copying others (DO NOT PUBLISH THESE ANYWHERE) etc, to learn about perspective, colour, anatomy etc. But then I've drawn since I was a child and have no idea what the best way to learn drawing would be (I'm also sure this is different for different people).

Yeah, that's a nice comment on ai slop ...

.A friend of mine said they misspelled it as SHIT phone in their own newsletter once. It is kinda an unfortunate name (not as bad as /e/ but you just can't top that).

I mean, it's making rich people richer, so it's working as intended?

Don't shame them for their guilty pleasure, lizard creature!

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

Because they're overworked and underpaid?

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

Nah, it's good. They're just jealous 😘

My money is on 3.

I've been eyeing Volla for a phone with Ubuntu:

Unfortunately, not so cheap that I could just go for it for fun, so it'll have to wait until I actually need a new phone ...
