to each his own, but I can't stand this clown. he desperately wants to come off as this wise, cranky, tell-it-like-it-is one-of-the-guys, but the often cretinous takes permeating his works are off-putting. the evil elites in charge of opensource not thinking about people with mech drives in 2024, the abject "horror" that's systemd, his "helpful" notes on bugs in five year old software, for my money the dude can get bent.

so when he likes something it immediately prompts me to do the inverse; not that it's needed in the case of MX.

thank you, very thorough. are them messages public somewhere, on my or their profile or whathaveyou?

guess I'm fucking stupid, no understando how to do that. help please?

so there are still sales.

dude, I mean come on - which lenovo tablet? woulda taken you like two seconds to include the model. intel? arm? config?

don't know about that latitude, but for the thinkpad you'd do well to disable the nvidia graphics in BIOS setup. intel graphics is adequate for daily stuff and you can actually use the thing as a mobile device i.e. on battery,

it's a false dichotomy. the issue is not whether you have something to hide, as this "hiding" implies something sinister, the issue is you deciding what you share.

when I'm not blasting the contents of my morning's bowel movements across all my social profiles, that don't mean I'm hiding it, it means I haven't decided to share it. and I won't allow my government, service provider, software or hardware to do it for me.

mint uses X11 which should be considered legacy at this point. wayland (Gnome, Plasma) has all the touch and dock/undock and rotate and pen etc goodies. try it out from a liveUSB and decide for yourself.

this one, OP. no need to introduce the horror that's a:

• hosted app (why?!)
• client app is electron crapware
• the client app doesn't even have full functionality, you have to use the web UI for some tasks

edit: I'm obviously speaking about the bitwarden/vaultwarden horror. keepassXC is none of them things.

I used enpass for years and was a happy user. one day it prompted me for some re-authentication bullshit security theater. although in that instant it was an easy task, took me all of 10 seconds, it demonstrated a scary amount of power they had as I couldn't bypass it and access my data. from that point on, its days were numbered.

the second issue is the export functionality that was seriously lacking and I had to resort to 3rd party converter tools to convert it to keepassXC; no way that flew by their QC, it had to be intentional.

it's by design, those are harassment tactics. there is no way that you can add a correspondent as "safe" and someone you want to receive comms from, even if you've communicated before and/or you have them in your address book. they want you to use gmail, not email.

you're fine using lineageOS with microG and utilising it for cloud messaging, i.e. notifications. the actual content of the notfication doesn't go through google (or apple), a push message just signals the telegram client there's activity. then the telegram client wakes up, fetches the message from telegram servers, constructs the notification in-app and then displays it.

google doesn't have access to the contents of it, but harvests lotsa metadata that microG (as opposed to full-featured play store services) somewhat ameliorates.

having said that, you should make every effort to ditch telegram as well, for a buncha reasons.

you're running way too old a distro for what you want. debian 12 has its merits as a server, you install it and leave it be and it just works.

what you want - fluidity with power management, dock/undock, etc - although achievable with tweaking this and that isn't being worked on, not on X, not on debian 12, so it's not like those things will eventually get there. so you need a semi-modern distro, like ubuntu or fedora or even trixie.

wayland isn't new, it's default on a lot of distros since 2021 or so, so you can be sure that your use case was previosly met and solved. costs you nothing to boot e.g. F42 off a USB and try it out (has to be 42 as earlier live sessions default to X11). if you have lots of RAM, add the rd.live.ram switch so it copies the image to RAM and everything is super-snappy for testing and it doesn't touch your SSD.

who is gonna hold him responsible? what are you lame, stuck-in-1987, deluded, blind, good-for-nothing pundits talking about. who will do that? wait, is it "history"? yeah, bye.

well if tanaka is their shidoshi then they shoud show us the dim-mak

boost for reddit (and lemmy) has the option to ignore posts from certain domains. since I have no intention ever reading anything from the domains I mentioned, I'd appreciate it in the web version.

piracy didn't start with the internet and won't end on it. like with porn, it always finds a way.

not reading that. lemmy devs, please get on blocking "news" sources in the vein of sun, nypost, etc.

edit: I don't mean the mods should ban domains. I want the option to not show submissions from certain domains, like the ones I mentioned, as there's zero chance I'd ever read anything from them. a buncha reddit (and lemmy) clients have that option.

good start, but in the next iteration (as you're the dabbler) try to replace tailscale with wireguard. the majority of that stack is not needed for your scenario, and you'll also not dick around with authentication and such.

informed a random dude that his broken macbook he was selling for cheap is easily fixed with a software patch
