I don’t really bother with email — It is terrible for privacy no matter which provider you use if the person sending you uses Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or whatever w/o PGP — which is most of the corporate world and normies.

I use Tuta for personal and it has the same problems (offline still works better than Proton I think). But my primary reasons for using Tuta are

  1. I think they are more transparent about what they do than Proton
  2. The alias email seems better, and
  3. I don’t want to go in another corporate walled garden of office/email/calendar suite — I use Proton VPN

I have to use Google Workspace for work anyways so all my work email have offline access on Thunderbird.

dragging people from peaceful nonexistence into existence without their consent

The male body gave consent to copy itself before ejaculating and the female body also consented to copy itself. Both copies agreed to merge and create a new copy —the child. So technically, we did consent to being born. (Except when the mother has been raped, or throughout the pregnancy was denied abortion because of some stupid law — a timeframe allowed for one party to withdraw that consent).

 

Before anyone suggests using alternativeto.net, I checked over there but all it is showing are the usual document scanners. While both are similar, Photoscan deals with reflections better because it takes 4 different photos from different angles to the centre of the image and then merge it to give a clean scan of the image. And I couldn’t find any FOSS alternative which does the same.

His fingers look unnaturally long. Unless the white board is new, there are no signs of previous smudges. White boards are smooth surfaces, so we should also see reflections in there. The bridge as — pointed out in the thread — looks super wonky. There should be taller buildings as well as seen in the image below.

Lol mine is 20 GB. And iOS takes 12.5GB. Thankfully I got the 256GB model, use Immich to backup images and videos, use Paperless-ngx for storing my docs and know how to use and manage a filesystem (however shitty it is on iOS) unlike most normies who would just let everything pile up and get confused on why there is no C: drive on iOS (real story lol).

Would have definitely tried it, but today it completely died. Won't even turn on. Replacing the motherboard would be very expensive for a phone this old if the parts are even available. Will do a teardown tonight as last rites just to have a look at the insides, reassemble and then give it to an e-waste processing foundation.

Please tell what did you guys do so I can ask if my woman would be interested in doing it 👉👈

Seems too risky to keep it plugged then ig as other person in the comments seems to have had a similar issue. Maybe will just use it as an extremely dumb secondary phone.

Edit: This is the stage where LineageOS logo appears.

I have an 8 years old OnePlus 5 running Lineage OS 22.2 as a secondary phone alongside my iPhone. Yesterday the phone froze, turned off and refused to go past the Lineage loading screen — where it froze and some weird colourful squares in a single line appeared before turning off. I tried factory resetting it as well from recovery but no success. Today morning I turned it on again and it booted w/o any issues. I think the UFS might have started to show its age — which was used heavily with heavy games, RAW photos, Lightroom processing, continuously running KDEConnect, Syncthing, multiple factory resets and multiple custom ROM installs.

So I was thinking to dedicate it to do something else like an Immich slideshow display, a clock, a controller or something like that. Is there any lighter than LineageOS custom ROM which can allow me to do something like that?

Even if this was local and privacy friendly, I don't know anyone within my circle who stores their photos on their desktops or laptops anymore. I use Immich and most people I know use Google Photos or iCloud — basically mobile devices.

Adding this feature just adds to the bloat and its Microsoft — you can't trust them.

Only office and LibreOffice FTW!

Never was a ricer — this was my first try without any prior experience in manually ricing so I kept it pretty simple using an existing KDE store theme.

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • DE: KDE Plasma
  • Theme: Ant-Dracula with Kvantum
  • Adjusted the panels and the widgets here and there and done.
