3 years of security updates, ships with Android 14 and gets two version upgrades, to Android 16, which is the version being released right now. I feel that isn’t the solution either.

Yeah, I’m in Germany. It used to differ country to country, but since GDPR, you need consent, need to have/give a proper reason for the recording, need to store it in encrypted form, need to provide it to the other party if requested, need to delete it upon request, need to delete it when it has fulfilled it’s purpose. Might have forgotten some requirements.

Things are probably less stringent for one private person recording another, but I’d err on the side of caution and always ask for consent. And if you want to record someone doing something illegal, probably ask a lawyer whether that’d be admissable.

Depends on your jurisdiction. For some US states, only one of the recorded parties has to consent. In my jurisdiction, both parties have to consent.

Can definitely be useful for longer/complicated calls if you can’t take notes in the moment. I’m not suggesting you use it to break any laws, of course.

The stock Graphene app has call recording. Very few other options can do that.

I just think it’s ugly. Like, I’m honestly pretty indifferent towards Taylor Swift. Both about her music, and her as a person. Like, she isn’t great, but there are billionaires that are a lot worse than her. Who probably still live in less ugly mansions.

That’s an ugly-ass mansion.

Why are you using a recording app with ads/tracking when there’s free alternatives that don’t do that?

Like, if you really wanna have transcripts, Google’s recording app works even if you deny it network access. Found that out because I was too lazy to look for a proper FOSS solution.

I actually kinda did that. Sent a preconfigured thinkcentre to my mum that boots into the jellyfin media player, connects to my server via tailscale. Just had to plug it into power, lan, hdmi. Immutable, atomic system that looks for updates on boot, applies them on next reboot, and does a rollback and ping me if the update fails.

I have ssh access, and my brother lives nearby in case everything fails, that makes things easier.

I kinda get it with “soft” targets (e.g. Let’s see what we can do in a day/weekend). “Hard” targets (you gotta do x in x Minutes) pretty much guarantee I’ll get nothing good done.

Yes, I hated every coding exam I’ve been in.

Hmh. Maybe I phrased that wrong. The one I had is also mass market, in the sense that they’re in quite a few supermarkets in several regions of one country.

Kerrygold is just ludicrously mass market, being available in a lot of supermarkets in over 100 countries.

OK, but what happens to current me if it sends a message that leads past me on a course that will not lead to it’s current state?

Does it create multiple time lines? Might that lead to a near infinite amount of messages received at the beginning of the period?

They are a relatively established game storefront, and have been at it for over a decade. Same Corp that’s also behind CD Projekt Red.

In the end, any storefront that distributes executables could in theory distribute malware, but I’d honestly be more worried about steam, since their publishing process seems a lot more automated, with less oversight.

Well, I’ve been vegan for years, but I usually had this stuff, I think.

Do people really see kerrygold as a premium option? I haven’t bought butter in a long time, but I always saw kerrygold as overpriced mass market shit.

I’d argue that gog might be a bit better, since you can download executables from their website, and then use them offline, without telemetry. But still, I think neither are necessarily all that relevant here.

I guess you could install cockpit (via Terminal, sorry, but it’s pretty straightforward and there are good guides). After that, you could use the cockpit web interface to deploy docker/podman containers. It’s a bit clunky sometimes, but it does the job purely in UI.

You can also manage updates, backups, etc via cockpit if you install the required modules.

As base, I’d use any stable Linux distro that’s reccomended for server use.

Edit: Comment was in wrong place, refiled as op level comment.

Graphene doesn’t. The way I see it is like buying a laptop with pre-installed Windows, and replacing the OS.

First SanDisk, then Samsung. The Samsung ones usually lasted a bit longer.

I think the Card that has held up the longest (still in use, currently in some Raspberry Pi) is one from SiliconPower. Also, some Samsung 128 and 256 cards (from their Endurance Series I think) that I gave away to a friend who uses them in her camera.

I gotta admit I don’t really care. Back when I used MicroSD Cards in my phone, they kept dying, and even midrange phones now have more internal storage then I need.

I can see why people want the option, but I personally haven’t missed it.
