And as soon as you get an update all their shit is turned back on, and re-enabled, and edge (🤮) is back on the taskbar… I hate microsoft so, so much.

I’m running a Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS as my daily driver as well, but I’m planning for future needs and/or the need to use a burner phone

Valid point, more specifically I’m talking about phones developed, manufactured, and sold by Chinese companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi.

I’m waiting for this one https://www.crowdsupply.com/diptyx/diptyx-e-reader

Well I’m assuming if it can bypass the lock screen somehow it can pull encryption keys, or just let the user gain full access to the phone and open the signal app directly.

There’s also FitoTrack which is an open source, local android app for fitness tracking

In that case, this seems pretty reasonable – disclaimer: I can’t personally attest to the effectiveness of this

I just wish I had done something absurd like sport a bright pink mohawk at some point before going bald 😂

Lol “Ukraine’s war against Russia” get the fuck out of here you punk ass shill

How about instead of restricting use of the software, adding in a clause that states "Use of this software is a formal acknowledgement and agreement by the user that race and gender are a social construct, gender identity and sexual orientation is a spectrum, humans can not be illegal,… " etc.

Thus use of the software is not restricted and is still open source, but forces groups, organizations, and people who disagree with the above to acknowledge something counter to their system of power.

Correct, the hard disk in the laptop can not be read. This is where having a good backup strategy is important. Similar to how if your hard disk dies you’re no longer able to access the material on the hard disk. For me, the downsides of encryption do not outweigh the benefits of having my data secure.

I enabled full disk encryption during OS installation, set up a secure passphrase, and then set up automated encrypted backups to my home server, which are automatically backed up to a remote server.

I gain peace of mind in knowing that if my laptop is stolen I’m only out the cost of the laptop, the data within is still safe and secure.

• harddrives can be corrupted, too. That’s where backups come in
• True, though one could use a security key or password manager to overcome that, or setup secure boot/TPM to where a password isn’t actually needed. If all else fails, again, backups.

What are the downsides to encryption? Though you may have negligible benefits, if there are also negligible downsides then the more secure option should be chosen.

I’m a big fan of vim/neovim with nerdtree and airline added in.

I’ve also been tryingourt Zed recently, it natively supports vim keybindings, so my workflow hasn’t changed, but its lightning fast (programmed in rust) compared to vs-codium (an electron app)

Yeah as @Nick mentioned, if it was just filling forms that would be fine, but its arranging documents and adding files together that he does most

This would totally work if it was for me, but the constant complaint from my dad is, “This was easier on Windows, why did you switch me to Linux?” So it has to be 70 year old man easy. Thank you, though!

Whoa I had no idea OnlyOffice had a PDF editor, I’ll be checking that out this week, thanks!

Thanks! I’m going to check this out!
