Yes. I’ve only tested it manually scanning to save battery life though.

There is also a FOSS app called Airguard on F-Droid that I found works well.

This would be very useful for offline installation.

I got it specifically for Linux usage. I had a 2060 before that, but got fed up with NVidia’s drivers and replaced it with the ARC. I only need Vulkan and OpenGL, so the performance pitfalls on Windows don’t really apply to my usage. It works perfectly on Linux, but I ran into issues literally just trying to update the drivers on Windows.

Except with the payday loans, you at least own the computer at the end.

This is me lol. Ryzen 3600 and Intel ARC A750.

Pure water, by itself, is non conductive IIRC. It only becomes conductive if there is stuff dissolved in it, like with tap water where there are small amounts of minerals in the water.

Fairphone’s support of PostmarketOs shows me that they actually care about their mission.

DivestOS is pretty awesome. It allows for bootloader locking, which Lineage can’t do IIRC and it runs very fast on my Pixel 2 xl.

Exactly this. I use Signal for people close to me and SMS or Email for those who don’t use signal, who I don’t have coversations with often anyways. Dispite it’s many, many flaws, I will use SMS before I use a Meta messenger.

This is my dream setup for messaging as well. My problem is that I would not trust 3rd parties to host this setup, but I also have not gotten around to setting it up myself lol.

Having a size cap does not make much sense since the increased pointer size is triggered intentionally, meaning if someone keeps shaking the pointer, they must want it bigger (whether for amusement or because they’re hella blind).

I seldom install windows, so I also have to relearn some things during the debloat. At 10 minutes, you are basically speedrunning the windows installation process lol.

Unfortunatly, that’s the reality of how computers are sold. If customers could try out both windows and Ubuntu at the store before buying and then got the variant with that OS preinstalled, I bet more people might use Linux, especially if they saved money by not paying for a windows license.

I would argue it takes even longer to get a windows install how I like it. Even using Chris Titus Tech’s tool, it probably takes 2 hours for me to install things like winget, steam, librewolf, libreoffice, blender and configure the task bar and lock screen. Not to mention how last time I checked, I could not rebind the windows key to trigger the app overview how I like it.

I did not realize “spezit” was “spez” and “reddit” until I reread your commnt lol. I thought was some reddit privacy frontend with the German pronunciation of “z”.

Because once you learn how to switch browsers once, you already know what the process of changing browsers looks like and what to expect, removing the barriers if you switch again.

It’s like switching from Windows to Ubuntu. Sure, Ubuntu is not perfect, but by installing Ubuntu, you have already learned the process of installing a linux distro and what to expect if you decide to install a different one.

Brave has a built-in adblocker and is not Chrome. If a user is able to make the switch to Brave, they might find it easier when they try to switch to something better like Librewolf or Firefox.

While that is one possible reason, lets keep an open mind for any other possible ways that the comment gained votes.

It also has bootloader locking for some devices, which is a plus.
