Congrats!

Depending on your situation, most of your issues can be avoided by not owning a smartphone. It’s extreme (by today’s standards, at least), but it does work. I ditched my smartphone back in 2017 for a cheap flip phone. I can find spare parts on eBay easily. My car is older, so there is no SaaS crap in it. If I need to keep in touch with someone, we can use SMS, call each other or meet in real life. I use a Linux laptop for banking/browsing the web and I keep a physical GPS in my car in case of emergency.

and I agree with you. Privacy is pretty much gone already.

It was a good episode, but there are a few things I didn’t like:

• Blowing up a space refinery on a whim.
• Too much romance/interpersonal stuff, still.
• Pike needs to grow a spine and be more assertive.

I give it a 6/10; not bad, not great. I’m looking forward to the new episode.

I keep a GPS in my car in case of emergency, but I try to plan my trips ahead by memorising landmarks on OSM. As a species, we are losing our navigation skills.

How much of a PIA is it to install Linux on a Chromebook? I’m looking for a small laptop and Chromebooks are the perfect size.

Linux Mint’s software manager is not bad.

Same here. Mandrake 8.2 was a buggy mess, but I have fond memories of it.

I have been using a flip phone since 2017, but I’m considering switching to VOIP since I don’t use my phone much anyway.

The solution is to ditch Reddit altogether.

So far, it’s my favourite episode of the season.

I use rtorrent and it’s pretty straightforward.

This is old school! Great guide, thank you.

They are probably very young. People get less extreme in their views as they grow older (usually).

FOSS has come such a long way that I don’t need proprietary software anymore for most tasks. The commercial software I use for work is ‘free’ anyway.

At the end of the day, they may be the safest privacy-focused company out there, but they still own my data. Never trust anyone.

I’m currently watching both SNW and Voyager (season 5) in parallel. So far, I’m enjoying Voyager way more, but I cannot pinpoint why. Could it be the longer camera shots? The more stoic personalities? The nostalgia effect? I don’t know, but I will keep watching SNW and see how it turns out. I wasn’t too impressed with Picard, but the season 3 ending was pretty good event though the show didn’t feel like TNG to me.

Sorry about the grammar mistakes. I’m not a native English speaker.

I might need to give this episode another shot in a few years. It wasn’t bad per se, but I just couldn’t get into it.

I’m pretty sure the app is great, but I am not a fan of putting all my eggs in the same basket. I will keep using Bitwarden for the time being.
