  • Idk about GrapheneOS in particular but I find the sandboxing solutions for GNU/Linux like bubblewrap to be much more granular than standard Android.

    “give us access to manage phone calls or we won’t you me answer internet calls (which have nothing to do with actual SIM calls)”, “give us access to all your files or we wont let you share that file via the share function (which doesn’t need fs access to work)”.

    On GNU/Linux I can only give a program exactly the resources it needs, I can disallow dbus, I can block it from accessing potentially troublesome things like /dev/dri, can overlay filesystems and pretend that’s my real home dir. Or can just mount the whole / to some other system.


  • Have you tried getting a louder alarm clock?

    Like plug your phone to a powerful speaker system that reaches 100dB. That should wake everyone.

    Doesn’t have to be expensive or HiFi, just loud.

    May not be an option if you have neighbours tho.

    Also, I’ve noticed that I can sleep through music and vaccum cleaner just fine, but I find certain sounds like TV speaking stressful, so maybe try finding an “annoying” sound.




  • One that the hardware perfectly fits my needs.

    Browsing some web pages can be a tiny bit sluggish sometimes, but if I’m doing anything serious I will use the computer anyway.

    For what I use the phone for, which is, playing music, watching video, instant messaging, reading, light browsing and Lemmy I couldn’t ask for more.

    I also don’t care about the camera, if I want to take photos I will use my DSLR.

    The only single problem I have with my phone is the software which is non-free and loaded with spyware. Not the hardware.


  • EVs need to their their battery replaced every 5 years or so, and from what I understand, the batteries cost as much as the whole car, so it’s a disposable car that you need to repurchase every 5 years.

    Meanwhile ICE cars can last for 30 years, and so even if they don’t produce tailpipe pollution, and constant manufacturing and destruction of new cars probably of sets the benefits, specially in countries where electricity is generated from fossil sources (most countries).


  • Discovery is my least preferred star trek I’ve watched so far, I mean, it’s not “bad” per se, it’s just different from the rest of star trek and has a different formula.

    The thing with discovery is that everything happens really fast, there’s always a sense of urgency and hurry, but actual plot development happens really slowly.

    Conflict takes a whole season to resolve, instead of standard one episode which you expect from a star trek show.

    Also, I hate how the actors mumble instead of talking.

    It’s not bad, it’s just not my favourite format.

    Nevermind the donation pop-up, how can people use gnome? It’s unusable, it interface is literally the worse UI I’ve ever had the displeasure of using only second to macOS.

    I believe that gnome is actually what is keeping many people away from gnu/linux, since it’s default on many distros, people install “linux” and they get gnome and gnome sucks so they hate on linux instead of hating gnome.




  • And I would be one of the few people who wouldn’t go on vacation and would have to refuse must jobs because of some absurd believe that even if a copy of me is made after I’m dead, that’s irrelevant for me since that’s still not me and I don’t want to die.

    Or maybe I would take the teleporter as an alternative to suicide, and whoever would take on my life wasn’t me, so my problems where their now.





  • Funny because I have the exact opposite experience.

    Most of my life I’ve lived in a tiny apartment, so tiny that I literally can’t keep my room cleared because have no space to store my stuff.

    Yes, I can literally walk to the nearest, coffee place, or take a subway to the mall or cinema or whatever people usually like to go, but I have no interest in those places, instead I would love to live in a rural place where I can walk along nature or just rest outside without being right in the middle of people and traffic and ugly buildings.

    Oh, and the worse part, my new neighbors that don’t let me blast my guitar amp or listen to music past 10
