ok, and i’ll just buy a house to build wealth like my dad suggested. and dress better than the manager if i want a job. and stop eating avocado toast.

im not.

yeah i feel you. I’m in a band, so instagram is basically a necessity for promotion and communication. getting the word out about shows, other bands will message me for gigs etc

just try to use it a little as possible, and try to lock it down as much as possible in the os. you can do alot in the android app settings.

basically treat it as you would having a conversation near a security camera.

probably a troll…

has to be a modified bersion of the mtg mana circles on the back of the card. same shading and everything

about 10 years ago, i noticed steam was available for linux. for the longest time i had pretty much written off gaming on linux (apart from like tuxcart, nethack, emulators…). i hadn’t considered actually being able to play “real” games.

that was before proton, so there really wasn’t a ton of stuff i could play, but i found some good stuff like hotline miami, papers please, super win the game.

obviously now we have proton and linux can be argued as a superior gaming platform in many cases.

i may be wrong, but arent you paying for support, not features?

in order (2000-present): red hat, slackware, debian, ubuntu, arch, manjaro, nix

how do you know this was ai? i need to stay sharp on these things

i think that’s not a great way to think about it. when is the year of the linux desktop? its a slow build until its a viable ecosystem.

if companies just stopped making linux phones, the ecosystem would wither up and die (not counting postmarketos)

every new linux phone will inspire new people to try linux on a phone, and eventually we may have a viable alternative to ios and android.

good luck playing Minecraft on that

this is exactly my opinion on it. one of my main gripes was the text rendering. if i needed to change some text i basically had to redo all of the work on any shadow or stroke as well, not just correct a spelling mistake or whatever. very excited to check out the new version.

ufo50, specifically grimstone. just restarted chrysalis harvest moon gba

should be fairly simple with any distro. personally, id recommend mint or something for ease of use. install steam, and you can use steam link for android (chromecast, roku, firestick, mobile), or steam link for linux (raspberry pi etc). steam has built in compatibility for windows games running on linux, and a built in streaming setup. a bit of an all-in-one solution.

you can try a steamdeck-like distro as others have suggested, but they may be less easy to learn on if youre not too familiar with linux already.

keep in mind nvidia drivers are a sore spot in linux, so if possible try to use an amd graphics card.

very hard to degoogle your phone/life. sounds like youre willing to put some work in…

So the difference here is you are manually doing a thing for your backups. Using a self hosted server and something like immich will seamlessly do it for you. If you drop your phone in the toilet and it breaks, the photos you took since your last manual backup would be saved.

Immich isnt meant to be a photo gallery viewer primarily, it is meant to be a self hosted photo backup service to replace stuff like icloud or google photos. So yeah, dont recommend it as a gallery viewer, recommend it as a selfhosted image backuo service.

I self host a jellyfin service on my nas, and keep all my movies and shows on that nas. I wouldnt be able to fit all that stuff on my phone.

I worked in an office that was paying out the ass for google drive. Setting up a self hosted nextcloud was a great solution and saved them a bunch of money, and still worked as a hands off “cloud solution”

If you dont want to run a separate machine to self host some services thats fine, you dont need to do it. its not for everyone. But plenty of people have reasonable motives for doing it.

Not sure what’s best, but Here’s the list of supported devices

Pretty sure there’s a pmos com they might have a more specific recommendation
