I distro-hopped so many times I got so sick of change that I've stuck with Debian for 4 years, the longest ever. It's a peaceful life.

That would be me if I had children

This post smells like burnt toast

Welp, now I'm curious...

I'm getting out of my comfort zone

Yeah sorry, I tend to get misantropic during the festivities. Right now doing harm to children is like you're trying to sell it to me even more

At this stage, the people who still need to hear this are the people we'd like to get rid of, so that problem is probably going to solve itself

As much as I loved it as a kid (and still do under certain aspects) I see this album as the beginning of the Offspring's decline: they were looking for a new sound and stumbled upon commercial success with Pretty Fly and Why Don't You Get A Job and tried to go in that direction. The following albums were attempts, some more successful than others, to get that MTV airing time again, which made them lose their original hardcore punk fanbase and left them with no clear direction.

"Censorship" has become a buzzword and lost all of its meaning

Yeah, but usually thieves sell the stolen phones to people that are slightly smarter and better organized

This is my second iteration of CalyxOS, I used to rock a Pixel 4a and now I'm on a Fairphone 5, and I love it. It's rock solid and never had a compatibility issue, although I heard that some banking apps might misbehave with microg, but not in my experience.
Graphene has pretty much the same approach but instead of supporting microg, has decided to take the route of sandboxing Google Services, which is a better route for compatibility at the expense of letting some of your data leak through once in a while.
/e/OS is a wonderful project on paper, but in my experience it was the one with more issues and bugs: they try to support as many devices and services as possible, providing a full environment that's easy to setup for any user, but having to deal with so may things makes them a little hit or miss sometimes. Nonetheless I still believe they're a great project that brings privacy to the less techy people with a (mostly) working ecosystem.
LineageOS isn't focused on privacy but in extending the life cycle of devices after they've been discontinued, so if your concern is to be private I'd go with something else.

Don't underestimate the bootloader locking feature: once your whole life is connected to one device, you don't want a guy with a USB cable be able to access it in case of loss/theft. DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW IT.

your comment is ambiguous: are you insulting my opinion or the other opinion? I need to know so I can act accordingly

 
 

When we get too involved in online matters, disconnecting from the internet and getting a hold of the real world is an analogy to the Greek Philosoper's work

 

Maybe they keep typing "Erth" and this brings them to the goddamn Triangulum Galaxy or some sht

 
 

 
 
 

PARIS, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Apple must stop selling its iPhone 12 model in France due to above-threshold radiation levels, France's junior minister for the digital economy told newspaper Le Parisien in an interview published on Tuesday.

France's radiation watchdog ANFR notified Apple of its decision to ban iPhone 12 sales after it had carried out tests which showed the smartphone's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was slightly higher than legally allowed, Jean-Noel Barrot told the paper.

Apple did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.

Barrot said a software update would be sufficient to fix the radiation issues linked to the phone which the U.S. company has been selling since 2020.

"Apple is expected to respond within two weeks", he said, adding: "If they fail to do so, I am prepared to order a recall of all iPhones 12 in circulation. The rule is the same for everyone, including the digital giants."

The European Union has set safety limits for SAR values linked to exposure to mobile phones, which could increase the risk of some forms of cancer according to scientific studies.

The French watchdog will now pass on its findings to regulators in other EU member states. "In practical terms, this decision could have a snowball effect", said Barrot.

In 2020, France widened regulations requiring retailers to display the radiation value of products on packaging beyond cell phones, including tablets and other electronic devices.
