The os fairphone use it very clear to stock android.

I can use radio to pay on mine

Leaving technical considerations aside: she’s your mom and she would probably be happier of you get her the same console as yours.

It will give you to something in common and give her a connection with you each time she use it.

Articles are mostly AI slop. For a bit YouTube was actually the best way to have information written by an actual person.

Not anymore unfortunately, now I honestly don’t know how to reliably find AI free information online.

I think in on Wayland now.

But honestly I don’t know, I’m just doing updates as they come and it just works.

You can have a look at Docs

It’s developed by the French and German government with the goal of replacing google docs for governments workers.

I disagree, but in not in your situation so I can be wrong.

Unless you are producing way, way more electricity than you can use I think net metering is a great arrangement for the customer. (Not so much for the utility company)

The electricity is usually bought by the utility company at a much lower cost than what the customer is paying. Because the generation cost is only a percentage of the cost, there is taxes, maintenance of the grid …

For example in France we pay 0.1952€/kWh, but the utility is buying the solar electricity produced by household at 0.04€/kWh.

Meanwhile with net metering your electricity is virtually bought at the same price as what you are buying your electricity for.

It’s not really a competitor, Steam’s business is selling games, not consoles.

The steam deck is just one way for them to increase sales on steam.

Net metering is great, much better than being paid for the surplus.

With net metering the grid is basically an free, infinite, 100% effective battery.

How ? Is it just AC ?

We oscillate between 300 and 800kwh per month and it’s with an old water heater, an electric car charged at home, a dryer and electric oven.

There is probably still a bunch of old people with a dialup subscription that they never canceled.

Unless you have a debit card from a third world country bank and half of the time for online payment the authorization fail.

I’ve been in this situation several times and then though I don’t like it Paypal has often been the only payment option available to me.

Fairphone with normal Android is just like any other android phone. The only difference for a normy would be the transparent back that you can pop open.

Same for me, I stopped distro-hoping 2 years ago when I moved to NixOS.

It was tough at first, setting it up took a while and i genuinely felt stupid like i haven’t felt for a while; but now I love having the same config on my two laptops. I have one that stays at work and another one for traveling. With one word/line added into my config I can as a software, configure the VPN, change the wallpaper on both my laptop, or not. Some stuff like gaming goes only on the traveling laptop.

Also, another big thing for me is the feeling of having a cleanly built system all the time. I haven’t felt the urge to do a clean reinstall since I started with NixOS.

GM received more than $7 billions of subsidies and around $50 billions of “Federal loans, loan guarantees and bailout assistance”.

US auto manufacturers are getting their fair share of subsidies.

I’m having a thought now.

Each time we see “company laid off X employees to replace them with AI”. Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?

Better for what ?

For repairability ? The fairphone win easily

For privacy ? Graphene OS has a small edge, but e/os or calyx are still way better than stock android.

For not giving your money to evil corporation ? Fairphone is better.

By installing drivers do you mean: search the manufacturers website online, navigate through all the scam website to try to find the legit one, dig through the website to find your hardware, download a random executable file, execute it, select next next next, no I don’t want to install mcafee, next, install.

I am using remmina daily for work, it is working well for me.

They are getting better at blowing rockets. The goal is a 24h turnaround, blow one rocket, bring a new one and blow it again in less than 24h
