I disagree, conservatives reduce taxes on corporations and the rich. Alphabet has all the incentive to subtly (or not) nudge the narrative so more people vote conservative.

I definitely notice the political ragebait suggestions too. I’ve had all kinds of blocking on the platform for a long time, so it’s scary to think (but not overly surprising) that that is what they’re trying to spoonfeed everyone.

I’ve just started using linkwarden and love it as well. I chose it over Karakeep because it archives a copy of the page so it’s still accessible if the original page is modified or becomes inaccessible in the future.

One would’ve thought the organization that stands for open source software to be quite democratic. Seems that may not be the case.

I’m not American, but why would a rental agency need a customer’s SSN?

icantstopbuying.domains seems most appropriate…

You won’t lose them if you back them up. SMS Backup and Restore can automate the task for you.

1. Don’t go to the United States

If you really have to…

1. Backup phone.
2. Factory reset (make sure you really backed up everything)
3. Install only essential apps (not from backup). Don’t log into anything.
4. Cross border. (you just got a new phone and haven’t set it up yet)
5. Restore backup.

I’ve heard of folding@home but haven’t really looked much into it.

No torrent needed, yt-dlp has you covered.

Right, but I would say the same thing and for a gaming machine, I would much prefer something that did the Arch install for me and worked for most games out of the box.

I’ve found CachyOS to be fairly uncomplicated and it’s gaming tweaks make most things work out of the box through Lutris. I’d probably avoid the standard Arch install for a newbie

This is my setup too. I use WG-Tunnel to manage the VPN connection on my phone. It just monitors whenever you disconnect from your trusted WiFi network and automatically enables the VPN.

Only hiccup I’ve found is wireless Android Auto isn’t a fan of a VPN.

There’s no helping this one.

The internet must be a miserable place for you.

I came across ryot a while ago but didn’t have a chance to really play with it. It might be useful for something like this though. Grocy is another that comes to mind.

Seems it’s not just the CEO’s personal opinion.

I see. That’s good to know, thanks.

Can you elaborate?

Ah, yes that’d probably be a good idea.
