Anyone got a good list of Israeli companies? I mostly assumed I didn't buy anything Israeli because they're a small country far away from me. Intel and PrivateInternetAccess are the only two I know of (and the latter it took me way too long to realize is Israeli).

What about Google Play?

There's a theoretical revolution. There's a real and ongoing mass-killing of civilians.

But entirely worth it.

The idea I'm thinking of is some kind of fliphone combined with a separate device for everything else. I haven't looked too much into it so I can't guarantee it's a good idea, and after like 2 minutes of searching I couldn't find a flipphone that supported hotspotting.

I just got GrapheneOS, and while it's good I really hate the jumpscare that is the Google logo every time I reboot (since it's exclusive to Google Pixels).

When using the web installer, I recommend scrolling down to the bottom and clicking the download button before starting.

Spent like 30 minutes with my phone just sitting there in the bootloader waiting for it to download.

Russia is absolutely not my friend.

I'd sooner fly on the Hindenburg than Boeing.

Well, at least Twitter would be gone forever.

Nationalize the drug industry.

Bluetooth didn't work on my laptop. Got new bluetooth card (exact same type). Bluetooth still didn't work.

Turns out:

  1. The specific card doesn't support Linux.
  2. My laptop has a hardware whitelist in the BIOS that prevents me from installing any other card.
  3. My headphones don't support USB bluetooth.

This is an image someone else posted here. Asking if there was a desktop environment that looked like that. There wasn't really.

For the record, I run Linux Mint Xfce with Chicago95. Honestly it was a mistake, the vibes of the UI are nice but it still feels kinda Linuxy (as in, held together with duct tape) and I keep roling up Firefox by mistake. SerenityOS or FreeBSD, something Unix-like, may be more what I'm looking for.
