Pretty FOSS?
PC - Thinkpad T14s Gen 4: EndeavourOS, Firefox and Thunderbird with the Proton suite of things such as Mail, Pass and VPN - I do pay for them but I think it’s worth it.
Phone - Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS and as many F-Droid apps as possible. Proton apps for Mail, Pass, Drive, VPN. Cromite browser. The only that aren’t are probably my banking apps, but I could always switch to web I guess.
I think my biggest hurdle is a Map app that has traffic data that isn’t Google maps.
Per this article from EndeavourOS discovery I was able to repair my similar issue.

However my device wasn’t encrypted. However near the bottom are instructions if you are and they don’t quite match what you said you did. Maybe give it a try?
"Encrypted installs In case /dev/sda2 is the encrypted root partition you need to unlock:
sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 mycryptdevice
It will ask for your LUKS passphrase and unlocks the device into the path /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice
This path can be used to mount the device:
sudo mount /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice /mnt
Followed by mounting the ESP (EFI-System-Partition) into the already mounted system:
sudo mount /dev/sdXn /mnt/efi
where in all cases /dev/sdXn needs to be changed according to what is used on your install as partition/device path and the mount path for the ESP needs to get changed according to your installed system in case. If it is /efi you need to mount on /mnt/efi if it is /boot/efi it would be /mnt/boot/efi …"
Great read. Thanks
I legit thought that was about to be the joke he was going for at first.
Holy moly great news. There’s hope for our /home after all. I think Firefox has an open bug thread or request thread for XDG Base Directory that’s like …20 years old?
Idk about layouts but swipe is available if you look into it, you just need to download a file to load the it into the keyboard and yes on clipboard history
Go for EndeavourOS if you want to use Arch with a lot of legwork done.
This is really cool man, its wild how much things have changed but those are super endearing.
I own quite a lot of mp3s legally. Host them on a 50 dollar raspberry pi with something called Navidrome which uses a protocol called subsonic.
I can stream my own music from my home to my phone etc or anywhere. Otherwise yeah just having them locally is the other best option.
As an Ohioan myself. Fuck Gym Jordan. He shouldn’t be allowed to hold a government position.
As a programmer: “your data is boring. I am not interested in leveraging this for anything besides getting the service you are using to work as well as possible”
Also me as a programmer: “yo, you don’t need that data, stop asking for it. Ohh, your app is broken because it can’t access permissions? Yeet.”
It’s not about the programmers. It’s about the company and the ability to make money off of data they get from you. You should be the one who gets money for your data. Not Microsoft, not Google etc.
Is Microsoft making money off of this particular telemetry data? Maybe not. It should always be opt-in
This just simply isn’t accurate. There are often extra features that require an internet connection. And there are also some blu-ray movies that might require some form of internet connection to watch but the vast majority of consumer blu ray movies require no internet connection to watch them.
The checks stopped clearing?
