Then that’s misleading to the customer. When you buy something online and have paid for it, it should be collected and delivered.

When you need to pay a tip to get the omployers/contracters of the company to do business with to do their job, there is something terribly wrong with the situation. Tips should be for complementing employers with their good/excelent serice, not to ensure they have something to eat while the company earns enough and underpays their staff.

That’s how an open market should work, companies paying their straff living wages and charging what a product/service costs to be viable. When the product/service is good enough, the customers will come, when it isn’t, they go out of business, freeing employers for work that is values correctly. The US market of underpaying employers and required tips from customers looks more like modern slavery/forced labour.

Come to the vi side, no straights or drags. (And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;) )

Sorry, had to have the 1st vi post. ;D

We only wash the bed linnen and then hang it out to dry (mynwife hates a dryi r, we got rid of it more them 15y ago). When making the bed, bottom and top are fitted around the matress in 1 go (I’m to lazy to lift the matress twice).

What helps here is to start reading. Most of the times I wake up with a book open, as I manage distract my mind from random thoughts.

Thanks, looks like I need to start saving, my Nokia 6.1 with Lineage will probably need replacing withing a year or 2.

Nice to read your experience with the fairphone. We’re looking at it as well. It’s expensive, but can at least be repaired when something breaks. I’m curious aboutt the custom roms though, as they are my main requirement, next to costs of max €100 per expected year of usability. (And as phone, it should be usable for a while)

Welcome and have fun.

Sell them and buy low budget low power consumption disks that would fit my purpose.

Enterprise-grade usually has enterprise-grade power consumption. From the power saving alone you can buy nice stuff.

I just updated to Magisk 27 as well and saw strange behaviour as well, TZ reset to UTC (I’m in CET), permissions revoked for apps,… Also it required to reinstall to optimize for my device (usually this is only on a clean install).

I’d advice to check your wifi settings. Maybe ot reset the mac you use. (I use device mac at home and random everywere else)

I tend to limit myself to max €100 per expected year of use. It’s just a phone to me. My Nokia 6.1 was €300 and is still working. Main requirement is the availability of an alternatuve rom for it.

He doesn’t care about his car, so why should he care about somebody else’s property? Way to many people think like this, that’s why they fail the shopping cart test.

Nah, to much work, use curl to download a script and blindly run it…

Second that. I’m glad RPis are finally supported.

In the US and other countries you can lock the noozle and fill up without holding the hoze. In EU you need to hold the hoze to fill up or press a button when you need LPG. It’s pretty hard to forget something when you’re standing next to it. (And still some people manage to do just that)

I’m a Linux user since '94, the 1st Android phone I got (company phone) was rooted, the 1st one I bough ran Cyanogenmod and I even developed Cyanogenmod for my 2nd tablet. (1st was crap) yep, free software user. (and kind of developer)

Welcome to the good side. ;)

I’ve been running Linux since I could afford a 386 in '94. (and learned years later a 386SX would have run it as well) Every time I need to work on Windows for an employer the 1st thing I do is find who can help mne fix windows when I break it. (I seem to be pretty good at that, although it doesn’t seem to be a huge skill)

Then still you can set Linux as default. Lilo had an option to reboot with an option to set a 1 time default. (that was neat) On dual boot hardware, I always set the one I want to default boot, which is in my case always Linux. (must still have a dual boot laptop somewhere)

my yaris is 20 years old, and it shows no signs of wear. that thing will last another 30-40 years if i wanted to keep it for that long. My previous car was a Volvo 740 from '86. (Alas totalled by a brand new VW Polo in '18) Totally mechanical apart so it could have lives a lot longer when the body wasn’t to deformed after the impact. The current one is an '03 S80. I doub’t it’ll live that long with all the electronics in it, but it’s on the right track.

also, i think fairphones seriously have a chance of surviving for that long, since the battery is easily replaceable. it being made during the phone spec plateau also helps. I still have loads of old Nokias, still working apart from the 2G network being dismantled. (so no coverage). I hope the fairphones last that long, as I’m planning to get me one when this Nokia 6.1 dies on me.

Ubuntu has been around for 2 decades (close nough, octobet it’s 2 decades) and yes, Debian is 11 year older and now known for it’s desktop friendly use. That Debian caught up in the last decade is about time, but to late for the major population who want linux but not the hassle of manually configure the graphics environment.

To be honest, I see that most people of 30 and younger don’t know or care how a computer (or anything) works, it just works.

WTF would you rely on tiktok/facebook for something (or anything)?

I rely on my phone to be able to call somebody (or emergency services) when I need to, I rely on my transport to get me where I need to go and I rely on the grocery stores to provide food (alas, garden is not ig enough to grow it myself)

Anything on internet is optional, very entertaining and fun, but optional.
