I would consider the A-Series of Samsung “mid-range”. I know you said “lower” and “mid-range” is lower than “high-end”, but I suspect tetris11’s issue mostly applies to “low-end” phones. Something like a Motorola Moto G Play 2024

I generally do mention that I like my Fedora KDE, but I’m a little worried about SELinux. I have had two or three run-ins with it, and I think that would be hard to diagnose for a noob.

“Main train line” what is that supposed to mean exactly?

What about Lausanne-Yverdon-Neuchatel-Biel-Solothurn-Olten? What about Basel-Olten-Luzern? What about Zürich-Zug-Bellinzona-Lugano? What about Lausanne-Montreux-Martigny-Sion-Visp-Brig? What about Bern-Thun-Spiez-Visp-Brig? What about Zürich-Pfäffikon-Sargans-Lanquart-Chur?

Basically just look at this interactive map if you want a fuller picture, or at this PDF if you want to see a reduced view about the long distance lines only.

And to everyone saying: “Well obviously it follows the valley!” The Mittelland is not some valley, it’s a plateau between the Alps and the Jura mountain ranges and it contains about 30% of our area. Besides, you should know about the longest railway tunnel in the world, the Gotthard Base Tunnel and about the Lötschberg Base Tunnel and about the Simplon Tunnel. The Swiss rail system doesn’t give up because of some mountains in the way.

Who here really has the time to stand, think and waste in the shower?

People not in a drought. It’s been quite wet here in Switzerland recently :-D

so, my alarm company replaced it. installed the new smoke detector yesterday and… it just went off again.

Nice theory but it’s disproven by OP’s initial text

I just get that included. Like the Norwegian guy, but in Switzerland from Init7

What has our copyright got to do with privacy expectation?

In general media files can be formed in a way to trigger some bug in the media player, sometimes in ways that allow to overflow buffers and start ROP chaining.

About 8 years ago there was this media file going around crashing any iPhones that tried to play it with the integrated player.

Of course crashing is way easier than code execution. So overall your scenario is unlikely. VLC also does not yet know of any issues with 3.0.20: https://www.videolan.org/security/

The Last of Us Part I released last year in March. Part II isn’t out yet.

Not driving into things by itself is very easy. The hard bit is getting places without driving into things.

A language for noobs

That assertion surprises me; I find C easier to use than Rust.

I’ve never seen any substantial evidence of a distro with outdated packages really being any more reliable than a rolling release.

I think the fundamental issue here is that you conflate the concepts of reliablility and stability. Those are not the same. Stability in distros is a question of how much they restrict change during support cycles in order to not be a moving target for developers and system integrators. Fundamentally a rolling release can’t be stable. It can absolutely be reliable to use, but you wouldn’t use it as a basis for an embedded system you’re trying to develop.

Arch is pretty stable

No, it’s a rolling release. Stable means that behaviours don’t change during a support cycle of a major version. A rolling release can’t be stable since it doesn’t have major versions.

I’m not sure in which direction your sarcasm is actually going there.

I wouldn’t say they are a monolith, with all those different sects and the fatwas where you basically have to choose which person or group of muftis you trust to issue binding ones.

On the point of brainwashing… well depends on how you define it, I’d say. I think all Religion at its core is supposed to influence your thinking profoundly and most religious people are brought up into their belief system. What is just socialisation and what is brainwashing I don’t know how to distinguish.

Oh I see, I did not expect that. Thank you!

Very interesting, thank you

I wonder what her Imam would say to that. I haven’t heard of a Muslim sect that accepts transgender people under their chosen gender. But maybe they are out there, if anyone knows of one I’d like to know more.
