Is it just me or does it seem a bit out-of-touch to brag that last year's $1100 phone is still usable? You would sure hope it wasn't made obsolete that quickly

Debian. Huge repository, no bullshit, and basically any software for Linux is packaged/compatible with it.

Ideally it should be neither iOS or Android, but a free software OS not focused around ads. Parts should be modular and user-replaceable, like the Fairphone or the Framework laptop. It would cut down on e-waste caused by either damage or routine replacement. With modular components, you could upgrade the mainboard, storage, or camera after a few years without having to replace the whole phone. It's already possible with today's technology, just not good for profits.

AFAIK, the port on your router is irrelevant as the VPN bypasses it. I'm not familiar with ProtonVPN, but with PIA you can get a forwarded port in the VPN app and specify that port in your P2P application. I use that method for Soulseek, but my qBittorrent works correctly in both directions without doing anything special.

The market in smartphones should be expected to decline, and that's a good thing. People keeping old phones for longer = less e-waste, but they have to introduce a new, fragile gimmick for profits

Hate speech is an actual problem for online entities to deal with. "Cancel culture" is a slightly vague term that usually refers to applying social pressure to disassociate from someone. This can obviously be good or bad depending on what it's about, but the term is typically only used by right-wingers when said pressure is applied to them.

looks like a new 4tb HDD only costs $40 nowadays so it'd be pretty cost-effective to use RAID 1

I like to make oats in the microwave and mix in peanut butter and banana slices

I wonder if there's anything stopping the same students from organizing in support of Palestine under a different org name?

do you know literally anything about history or geopolitics? north korea is aiding Palestine, russia is allied with iran and syria, while isn'treal is backed by the US empire and its satellites such as the UK and Germany. without the backing of the west the zionist entity would collapse

The backend should be the same (Freetype)… only difference I can think of is that GNOME uses Wayland by default while KDE defaults to X11 and offers Wayland as an option. Do you have a HiDPI screen?
