Don’t be Reddit. It’s obviously a joke.

They don’t need to do that, feds already have access to all of your banking information.

GrapheneOS periodically (once a day or so) forces me to put in the passcode. If this isn’t a stock Android feature that’s another reason to use Graphene. It also has a “lockdown” button in the power button menu that forces the same behaviour.

Not sure what you mean by this?

Razer keyboard are pretty overpriced for what you get IMO, they’re better than they used to be but I would honestly consider alternatives first. Still if you’re considering Razer, check the compatibility chart before buying! https://polychromatic.app/devices/

Use Pacman as your package manager, or something. Linux is Linux. If you use a mainstream distro it should be 90% similar to all other distros. You don’t really have to worry about FOMO when it comes to Linux.

No and AI almost never will be. However, investor money keeps coming, so it doesn’t matter.

You’re right. I just hate corporate bullies.

There’s tons of illegal things that people do every single day that the law turns a blind eye to because reality is complicated. Piracy of games not being sold by the company anymore is certainly by-the-books illegal, but everyone obviously recognizes that it’s an entirely harmless “crime”. Like smoking weed in illegal states. Everyone knows it’s bullshit, so if you defend locking people up for a few grams of weed you’re a bootlicker.

Frame generation sets a really fucking stupid precedent for game optimization. You’re right

Because Jellyfin is FOSS and not corporate.

QMMP is great. Personally I don’t care much for Winamp-style music players (Strawberry Music and Tauon Music Box are my favourites right now) but QMMP opens anything I ask it to, has an alright default skin, and is obviously heavily customizable with afaik Winamp skin compatibility. It was time to leave Winamp over a decade ago.

They’re clear keycaps.

Weirdly, Pixels are actually the best Android phones for installing custom ROMs, at least out of the major manufacturers. So for me, there isn’t another choice, because I can finance a Pixel, and I can’t finance a Fairphone or something.

GrapheneOS is really the furthest away from Google you can get on an Android phone and it’s mainly developed for Pixel.

Do you have any idea how deranged this sounds to the rest of the world

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/checkup/it-basically-means-nothing-why-some-economists-are-skeptical-of-the-term-middle-class-1.5258989

Middle class doesn’t mean anything. It’s a term to pander to suburbanites.

Hezbollah is not HAMAS. This is going to get really, really messy.

Middle class isn’t real. Everybody (perhaps over a certain age) thinks they are the middle class. There are those who own the factories, farms, offices, etc. And there are those who go in and sell their labour to make a living. “Middle class” is a term invented to sow division in the second group.

Reddit, like all major social media, has really been making me feel like dead internet “theory” is real.

That’s just racism, try again
