Nobody is stopping you

If they are coming from Windows: Kinoite

If they are coming from Macintosh: Silverblue

This is the right answer OP!

I see “Elon Musk” invitating me to secret whatsapp groups where he is going to give me bitcoin

I get what you’re saying is a joke, but most people don’t know about Newpipe or whatever the current alternative app is, and soon most people won’t be able to sideload anyway when Google makes it’s changes to Android.

It’s not good that Google/Meta are exposing these people to scammed for the crime of simply for not knowing how to sideload.

If you open YouTube shorts in a new account or an account that doesn’t store history the ads are nearly exclusively AI slop scams. This is not just a Meta issue.

Ah that’s a bummer. Pixel makes the most sense as long as they continue to be easily unlocked. But it would be nice to have a more ethical/sustainable hardware option with privacy.

I wonder if Graphene plans to support them because then it will absolutely be my next device

Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.

That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

Ah I missed that. That’s great! I should look into it.

So the automation is triggered if the power draw is above a certain amount? I assume there is a smart plug? Or is it a dishwasher with Wifi? Forgive me still learning how these things work.

Looks great, can old Google location data be imported?

Good read that got me thinking. Donation supported journalism works well for NPR.

I can imagine an ecosystem in which enough people give their $50/month streaming subscriptions directly to artists and journalists.

I’ve been impressed with F-Droid’s press releases. If they have a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping this, they are certainly giving it a clear and concise effort.

If you can figure out a better way please let me know 😭😭

Very easy to use… once up and running. But there are other distros out there (Bazzite comes to mind as a good example) that “Just work” on a level even Macs can’t approach. Installation is the only “complicated” part but I’m sure we’ll see some manufacturers installing Bazzite by default in good time.

You’re absolutely not wrong.

But I’m still gonna clap.

Not defending the behavior in question, but Linux nowadays is MUCH simpler to understand than Windows or MacOS. It is by far the easiest operating system to change to, and the easiest to learn if you are somehow not familiar with any. From a user standpoint it’s the least “techie” OS now (aside from mobile OS of course).

What you describe about “needing to take courses” was true ten years ago, it was probably true three years ago. It is just simply not true now.

How would you do presence detection (getting home)

I have a sensor on my front door that triggers an automation that sends a text to everyone’s phones that is (supposed to) trigger a location update. It then waits ten seconds and checks everyone’s phones to see what wifi network they are connected to, it then waits another ten seconds and if nobody’s location is “home”, or nobody’s wifi is the home network, then it texts everyone an alert of a possible break in.

Only about 50% of the time does it correctly identify someone legitimately coming home lol
