This is what I’m afraid of too. I could see apps like fdroid and the ability to install custom roms being taken away within the next year or two. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t have a good feeling. I need Linux phones to be a thing now more than ever.

Well, I’m afraid that’s where we diverge in beliefs then. With a god it is perfectly reasonable to believe that, but without one it’s not.

But who defines them? If there is no god to determine that then that belief is entirely subjective. What one person views as good will be bad to another. How do you determine who is right?

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. This is an excellent question. Personally, no, but that’s because I feel empathy towards other people and enjoy cooperation/community.

However, imagine if you were born without empathy or even enjoyed hurting others. Does that make you a bad person? Our society would certainly see it that way. You would be ostracized/incarcerated for not being the same as others because you enjoy hurting people. But does that make your existence wrong? I don’t think so. To be honest I don’t think there is such a thing as wrong and right, just selfish and selfless behaviors.

All this to say, I would say no and certainly don’t condone it, but if you ask someone else they may say yes. Who is to say that either one of us is right?

This life has no meaning. Absolutely none. Do what you enjoy. You don’t need a “purpose,” grind culture is toxic and will only lead to burnout. Slow down and listen to the birds sing.

Just wanted to say thanks for making me aware of pangolin. I got it up and running! This is so awesome, I can’t believe it exists.

Blue steel

Damn. Thanks for this I’ll look into it.

I’ve been using Arch (btw) for a few months now and have been really enjoying it. I am scared that something is going to break though. I have Timeshift and BorgBase backups but I would rather not deal with that tbh. I haven’t tried Debian yet but I think I might make it my next distro. However, it’s going to be really hard to give up the AUR and Arch wiki.

I was very confused until I saw what sub I was in

There is an app on fdroid called SpamBlocker that I am using. It allows you to add spam call databases like the US’s do not call list, for example. You can also do other stuff like block numbers that don’t have a specific area code or that come from a specific state, etc.

Top right corner, I think

The Walrus has awoken. God help us all.

I highly recommend Jerboa. It’s made by the Lemmy devs and is available on F-droid/GitHub so I don’t have to use the play store. Currently typing this from the app.

Not the dice cuck chair

It’s one of the Google WiFi white pucks. Unfortunately I’m not home at the moment to see the model number. I’ll look into that though, thank you.

I’m trying to support Peertube so I thought I would start uploading some monster hunter videos there. It’s nothing spectacular but check it out if you’re interested.

I hate it when this happens

Julia my beloved ❤️

I hate this question so much. No one actually cares how you are when they ask it. Just say “Good morning/afternoon” and be done with it if that’s the case.
