For the German keyboard layout FW decided to keep the English name ctrl on the left, which would be fine, if they hadn't translated the right ctrl key....

Last Wednesday, the parcel arrived, one day prior to the expected delivery date. I wanted to show my girlfriend how to expand memory and storage on a computer, so we did the whole process together. Despite being one of the less tech-savvy people I know, she assembled it with minor assistance from me in about 10 minutes. And it was ready to be powered on. The laptop took about one horribly long minute to initialize the 32GB of RAM during the first boot but now it boots in around 15 seconds.

I went against Framework's recommendation and installed EndeavourOS, a distro I'm familiar with and love. After disabling secure boot, I installed it without any issues, and the experience has been seamless to this day. One important tip I want to share is that you need to specify your region to access the 5GHz WiFi bands, as described here. So no worries if you like arch, there shouldn't be any problems!

Before receiving my unit, I had concerns about the battery's ability to last through my long university days, and I considered purchasing the larger 60Wh battery. I've read somewhere that some Linux installations drain the battery more than Windows, especially during sleep mode. Although, I can't speak for Windows, I have not had any problems with idle drain whatsoever. -Even without the official support of my distro.

Imho the battery life is insane! Last Thursday, I started with 85% and the laptop lasted around 10h before I plugged it in at 6%. Admittedly, I took some breaks, but I estimate the SOT on that day to be around 8-9 hours. Truly impressive!

My specs: AMD 7640 | 32GB Kingston Fury 5600MT/s CL40 | 1TB Lexar NM790 SSD

What speaks against torrents with mullvad?

I think it is useful when you don't have an OLED screen. Else you can just have an AOD

Bisschen off topic: Ich habe vor ein paar Monaten Axel Voss auf der Straße getroffen und wir sind kurz ins Gespräch u.a. über Artikel 13 gekommen.

Er meinte, dass letztendlich ja gar nichts schlimmes passiert sei, und dass entgegen einiger Behauptungen von Influencern das internet nicht untergegangen ist, und dass ich mich bei ihm melden solle, wenn ich Probleme diesbezühlich mitbekommen sollte. Ich meinte zu ihm, dass nur, weil die Richtlinie nicht so wie geplant in deutsches Recht umgesetzt werden konnte, es ja keine gute Idee bzw Richtlinie war.

It was meant to be replaced by renewables but our minister of economics dumped the whole solar and wind turbine industry. Additionally his party made up bullshit rules about a minimum distance for turbines to households, which was apparently 10x of the reasonable distance and which made it very hard to find spots in densely populated Germany. And to this day, the federations with a renewable energy surplus have to pay more for electricity than those who give a shit about renewables. -it is discussed to be changed now but idk

6 adblockers?! Have you looked into uBlock origins customisable block lists? You can combine at least 3 blockers with that. Additionally you could add custom block lists.

Edit: clarifications and spelling errors.

In Android 13, there are two different battery optimization steps, are you sure, signal is unoptimzied? I have had no issues at all. Even now without Google GMS, I receive them within 20 seconds. Edit: You can also bulk delete pictures fairly easy within Signal in the settings. Imho its the videos though, that take away the most memory.

In fact, there are vaccines against some cancer types. There's a virus, which is responsible for almost all womb cancer cases. Here in Germany, the vaccine is free, if you're under 20 iirc.

What excactly dont you like about FF? The ability to add addons (on nightly, you can even add any Desktop add-on you like), tab containers / cookie jars, or the flawless syncing to desktop, including passwords and bookmarks?

What? There is a module for that called SafetyNetFix. I am fully rooted and can usw any App I want.

You're only partly right. You example services. Of course it is not possible to own services. Piracy is only applicable to products. The point of the Twitter guy is, that companies intentionally stop selling their software etc. as products to sell you the same thing as a service, so that you cannot own it.
