One of my biggest concern is banking apps not working. Is that still an issue with Custom ROMs? Edit: Nevermind, answerd below

A fitting description for Arrakis

Fairphone 5 is running stock Android. Google has really fucked the Android OS

I’m reading all six Dune books at once and I’m hella confused

+1 for Mailbox.org Comes with a great feature set and is inexpensive

I think you’d be surprised how close it would actually be, seeing how German spelling is almost spot on to the written word. Like here for example. I took the liberty to steal your post

Bii tö tseints juu vant to sii in tis völd." Du juu häv ä feivörit kvout?

“Be the change you want to see in this world” Do you have a favorite quote?

Good job on “quote” that’s creative spelling. In “Vörld” the o in this case is actually an ö when looking at it with a German pronunciation. Now, this is my attempt at that sentence:

“Bie dä tschänsch ju want to sie in dis wörld” Du ju hef ä fevorit quote?

I have not seen this kind of language, so I assume it’s a new trend for English speaker. In the DACH region, writing like you speak your accent is a pretty common thing outside the major towns. I’ll leave you with a pretty complex example where the writer tried to show the pronunciation by using different circumflex to show how different letters are pronounced. https://pasteboard.co/rMJcvSHAFx6g.jpg It’s pretty extreme, but if you are fluent in any German alpine dialect you will have little problem reading it.

I agree with you. I’m a fairly new Linux User and I start to run into these issues too. I think Linux just lends itself to projects that require you to google. It’s the endless fallacy of “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”
However if we apply the average user use case: (A laptop to do light surfing, consuming media, and writing Emails) Linux can run (mostly) perfectly fine. (If you choose a reasonable Distro, not Arch). Personally I run Fedora with Gnome.(Realistically Ubuntu is a better choice for average users) Most major apps work via flatpacks and update centrally from the app store. They work out of the box. Firefox, Thunderbird, Only Office, Spotify what more does a Luser need?
Now granted one thing that does not work is legal streaming. No DRM Protection means no HD, High bit rate streaming. So you need to fall back to sailing the high seas. Power management works out of the box for example under Fedora. Never charges over 80% notifies me at 20% Sure having a better looking login screen, would be nice, but do I really care? Sure emulating a 20 year old Windows game would be cool but I can’t expect to run that as is on Linux. Sure a better weather app in the notification bar would be great but I know that my local weather is never accurate anyway.

I’d say for most Luser cases Linux will work out, just don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s a proper workstation.

So confused as a german speaker xD Those Ös and Äs just don’t make sense this way 😂

Had a similar experience when roadtripping over there. Each town had a big share of local beers who were all great. Especially if you can enjoy a good IPA. Local American beers definitely are on the same level as European ones.
Just don’t buy Bud light and similar you get at a Walmart.

Imma go with the suuper vanilla answer: Game of Life. I love the little hills and buildings you have to put on the board.

On the totally opposite spectrum of Nerdiness a full Board of Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition is a marvelous sight to behold

That seems like a huge plant for such a small pot! :o

Yeah sorry. This advice is not valid for all degrees of latitude. Use at your own caution

Hey! Remember negative thoughts 2 hours after sundown are not valid!

Don’t let yourself get pulled down by them too much and as others have suggested you can always speak to other people.

Proper self reflection is also a great tool to get out of such spirals. Use a diary and write down all the mean stuff you say to yourself in your thoughts. They will lose a lot of power once they materialize.

Tbh I only had this because of two reasons:

1. ages ago an account on Mastodon shared it
2. I need to prove to myself that taking a day to sort all my bookmarks was a good investment of my time.

Maybe that’s something for you?

If you want to be compliant for a standard you need to have a copy of it. Luckily it’s only companies that really need to buy them

So what? You think the people are the good ones and the political class are the bad ones? Who did you think voted them into office and who’s responsible for the rise of right wing power? That just materialized itself? Get a grip of yourself and stop trying to divide the world just so you can have an easy time understanding. The world is complicated and not black and white. Stop dividing.

Sure but the overwhelming amount of people citing are students, a group not known to possess a huge amount of spending money

Such a godsend! Especially the auto detection features. Just drop the PDF into it and it finds everything needed for a correction citation. I wish website citations would be better tho

You probably weren’t graded for correct citation either. Nowadays you can get into real trouble for citing inconsistently or incorrectly. Especially with the automated plagiarism software that automatically runs over your texts once you turn them in.
