How about Numbers 31:17-18 where Moses says:

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

This one doesn’t, tho, unless you care how presentable the back of your pc is… And mine was for a few years just an array of parts and wires on the side of my desk, soooo…

Well, duh. All governments are cancer

If you want something like graphene or calyx (I.e. with additional de-googling and security improvements), take a look at DivestOS: https://divestos.org/pages/devices#device-blueline

Crdroid (which claims performance improvements, but also has a lot of customization options; reminds me of now deceased resurrection remix) is also good but doesn’t seem to officially support your device. There may be some ports on XDA, tho.

Just shove wondows in a VM or something

You’re probably looking for these 2

3.4 ounces of sulfuric acid, 3.4 ounces of nitric acid, 3.4 ounces of glycerine… Bam blyat!

They’re more secure (albeit in many wsys security through obscurity) than private, although the privacy aspect is probably among the best you can get by default as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if you’re willing to do some relatively simple steps and buy specific hardware, you can achieve better privacy and security on both mobile (graphene) and desktop (qubes) devices.

I personally dislike them for building unrepareable crap, tho.

I suspect those may depend on choosing a particular response to some of the previous questions

CPUs are also somewhat choked. I had to use throttled to make mine run above 2.4 GHz under load. (You need HWP_MODE and possibly Disable_BDPROCHOT, if anyone’s interested).

But other than that, waaaay better compared to …70 laptops, and some models seem to beat maxed out t440p-s. Also quicksync massively speeds up video decoding/encoding, so I’m overall happy with mine so far.

Phew, count me relieved. The keyboard on that clone was pretty linear as far as I can remember with no variation in force applied whatsoever

It’s good and everything (although it was a bit rough around the edges here and there), but is a no-go for me personally, unless they’ve changed their license. When I last checked it wad not open source, but merely source available since the license basically said you’re not allowed to modify the source code period. AGPL would’ve been a far better choice

I used to select piped instances via libretube (mobile Firefox lets you install non-approved extensions by making your own collection and choosing that in the browser). Basically I’d go to the extension’s settings page, ping the available instances and choose some of the fastest ones. Although, it’s not at all convenient.

I mean, they said they don’t like flatpak explicitly, and appimage is kinda the same thing but bulkier, standalone nix is similar as well except the lack of sandboxing stuff, and spinning another distro in a container seems overkill-ish. Idk, honestly, mb they prefer the windows way of downloading random installers from the web or that clusterslackery of placing stuff in /opt by hand

Oops, my bad

If you’re on arch/nixos, that’s fine since stuff you may need is most likely in the repos already. If you’re on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, good luck with 100500 ppa-s

• Newpipe doesn’t let you leave comments (which was the reason I personally switched to it – I used to spend too much time commenting like half of the stuff I watched, and I watched a lot) or login with a Google account;
• newpipe doesn’t have sponsorblock (which is currently solved by using tubular; note that it may or may not become abandoned like previous attempts by other ppl);
• newpipe lets you download video/audio (although, admittedly, having yt-dlp in termux is still more than handy for bulk downloads);
• newpipe has better (imo) background playback: you can either play or enqueue both videos and playlists (note: I haven’t used yt app for a while, so mb it also can do similar stuff)
• newpipe doesn’t need play services whatsoever;
• newpipe’s ui takes some time to get used to (imo)

Is it stable now? I’ve used it for a while last year, and the experience wasn’t exactly pleasant. On the good side, they had lots of useful features like properly rendering comments with replies and stuff, sponsorblock and channel tabs, but it used to crash a lot for any reason. May try it out again, although newpipe (or, more precisely, tubular, which is yet another attempt at sponsorblock which is still alive) kinda has everything I personally need currently.

Bypassing parental control is a great learning opportunity, tho :D

Kinda follows from the description on their website:

You should use KDE neon if you are an adventurous KDE enthusiast who wants the latest and greatest from the KDE community as soon as it’s available, with no delays, opinionated patches, or UX changes.

Although, yap, I may’ve put it a bit too harshly, and the same may be applicable to using KDE on many rolling release distros.

To be fair, the only problem I had while using it (except for the usual need to add a ppa to install literally anything) was exactly the same I encountered on arch: sddm just died after some updates and refused to start. What made it worse, however, was that they decided it was a great idea to configure the same keyboard layouts both for the graphical session and tty, so I couldn’tc even login to fix it :/
