No reason not to help them along…

I do get that part of it too, however it’s a much lower percentage here that are unwilling to receive support. I myself have come across these types on two occasions, out of thousands of homeless people I’ve interacted with.

Humanity issue.

Yet another reason I’m glad I already did.

I’ve booted into windows twice total since I switched last year. And as such my hardware has remained untainted by W11.

So he’s got money to house homeless people, right?

I did the same many months ago, though I suspect I may need to redo as I’ve been getting some really long notification piles when I don’t check my phone for a day…

Maybe we need an “honest news article” by Juice Media on YouTube 😂

Guillotine (in all seriousness though I believe it’s quadrillion).

Appreciate the response, I’ll give matrix and elements a look-see.

Unfortunately I’m the only among the group that interacts with(or even knows of) the fediverse and it’s associated softwares, so I expect there to be some drama involved, hopefully I can be the salesman they need.

What do the Lemmings recommend as a replacement for discord?

I’m happy to revert back to teamspeak if need be, I heard it’s app recently got an overhaul (or at the very least a facelift).

I’m disgusted (though not shocked, I fucking called it years ago), that discord would go down this rabbit hole being that their main demographic is gamers. The stats are in, gamers (among every other living being) hates ads.

In fact, I pay for YT music because I think it’s good value, but ive never once had YT premium, and I haven’t seen an ad on their site for close to a decade now. (Still no pihole, that’s likely next).

To circle back, if possible Lemmings, I would like to find a discord replacement that my folks would be willing to install/try out. I’ve got a couple people who have said “hey man, find a better spot and we’ll tag along”, however I have yet to find a suitable replacement on my own time.

Maybe if everything wasn’t designed to be unrepairable and fragile as fuck this wouldn’t be an issue.

I also want the DOJ to peg Apple.

My thoughts also. Break. Them. Up.

Nearing 6mo since I booted into my windows drive (been a daily user since 98)

I mean, I knew it was bad already, but please for the love of god stop giving them ideas that they may or may not have yet thought of…

I’ve not yet messed with backup, there’s nothing on this phone I would miss if it were lost, stolen or broken.

I do however have it’s entire contents backed up manually to multiple locations, so even if the worst should happen, it would simply be a matter of transferring to a new device.

I have a second profile set up already, exclusively for Google play services and anything else I don’t want on the main profile.

I might make a third exclusively for work, but as it stands the second phone actually makes more sense in that regard in terms of taxation, simplicity of use etc. no faffing about with profile switching, just check which colour phone and then slam that fingerprint down on the sensor.

I do however welcome suggestions, perhaps I should make a post rather than just lurking in the comments for once…

Last time I booted into windows was to use VR (I haven’t yet managed to make it work on Linux mint), and that was 4 months ago.

Glad I switched tbh.

GrapheneOS user here, compared to my stock android pixel it’s night and day, no sense of my phone spying on me.

I use almost entirely FOSS on the graphene one, I now do most of my daily phone activities on the graphene, and use the stock primarily for work (I refuse to taint the graphene phone just so I can do my job).

The installation was extremely simplistic compared to other custom android versions I’ve run. It was literally: plug in phone, click button, phone restarted itself, clicked another button, done.

That is exactly my policy, such policies shouldn’t need to exist though.
