So something to cosndier: why don't they make it cheaper?
A lot of the TV people fell in love with, and that companies are trying to remake now, were low cost productions.
They didn't go for big name stars, they didn't go for big budgets. They focused more so on writing that helped create a good product.
That seems to be out the door now.
In defense of Graphene for the first point:
Graphene has a pin scrambler, so the numbers are in a different position everytime you have to enter them.
It isn't hard at all to get used to it, and it circumvents the pattern recognition bit.
Fingerprint unlock...that's a different discussion especially with biometrics not being protected under the law, but for first unlock you always have to enter in a pin
Quickly looking at my phone, you can enter in a passphrase (though personally I think that's too cumbersome). There's also a swipe option, I THINK that might be pattern, but I'm not sure. I can't test it, because it means deleting the already in place measures, and I don't wnat to do that at the moment.
I don't know enough about other points to comment on it.
I'm running Endeavour OS. Interestingly I just did a fresh install on a machine the other day, but again, I don't see the theme anywhere.
Some first reaction feedback:
It's good but there are two things taht I don't like.
1.) It uses Breeze system tray icons that I am not a fan of at all; they look very outdated, not fun, boring, and its a smidge hard to get information out of them.
2.) Again in Dolphin, it uses the Breeze icons in the Places tab. I really don't like those minimal icons; there's no fun pop color, while at the same time looking modern (ala Kora).
Just to give you an idea of what I mean by non-perfect icons.
I think the overall culprit in Plasma, and as evidenced here, is that I feel Breeze is a really bad icon theme. And a lot of people use that as a starting point...which leads to unsatisfactory results.
How do you get the Oxygen theme?
I went to global themes, and I can't find it in there.
Can you expand on that? That's a really interesting conclusion and I'd be interested in hearing how that would work.
Personally I use that setup and am quite disappointed to hear that using wifi calling isn't the best idea.
May I should just have wifi calling off the entire time, but I would appreciate an explanation so I can plan on how to tailor my phone usage next.
Thanks
Even if you're using a VPN?
I have a question about methods 1 & 2: do you know if having your phone in wifi calling mode with airplane mode on, prevents that form of tracking?
So two things
This is relatively "new." I think they implemented this a few years ago. I used to like using the methods of old where you could use LUtris and not have to log in.
On the topic of this post of sailing the high seas, then this makes it difficult does it not to use Lutris and its install scripts?
Yes sorry for the ambiguity: I meant that lutris requires you to log in through them to the platform of choice (in my case GOG).
Have you tried it recently? The download scripts in my experience require you to log in.
For some games that I own, the install scripts have been tweaked so as not to require you to log in.
Is it the fact that they put out (a somewhat tasteless) AI ad?
In the grand scheme of things and with everything else going on, that seems pretty tame.
