This is great because Nintendo charging $60 for Advance Wars Re-boot Camp on the Switch was way too high for me to consider it.

Why did you stay with it over Joplin? As a Joplin user, I am curious.

I second Joplin. I use it on Android and sync it locally (and only locally) with my Mac. It uses Markdown.

"Massive copyright infringement", and it would mean massive fines or jail time for us.

Has anyone used one of these gaming pillows? Is it worth it? I'm considering getting one.

You don't think there's debate about nuclear waste and how and where to store it? Because those are my reservations about nuclear power.

Do you think sucking dick is a bad thing?

Wire has calling voice and video calling.

Not exactly, no. For instance, I don't use the Google Play store (i use Aurora Store instead), but I have gotten Android Auto working on my phone. What Google features you'll be able to get working also depend on the device and android version.

I guess it depends on if they are actually designing any of their own hardware. I was assuming they were, but now that you mention it, yeah why would they.

If GrapheneOS doesn't look like it will meet your needs, LineageOS w/microG may be best for you.

The main issue is that the learning curve is higher to get it to a state that's a balance between security and privacy. You have to learn how to install it for your device, set up root with Magisk or the like, install modules that allow your device to pass/bypass google's SafetyNet Device Assestation, install the module to avoid connecting to google via GPS, set up AdAway, AFWall, Blocker, LSPosed if needed, and get android auto set up if needed. That's not even including all the device-specific tweaks you'll end up needing/wanting, or how to manage updates. It's a lot of work, but in the end you get a phone that acts like a computer you control instead of an "appliance" that works against you.

So Proton ditched Mastodon but is still on Twitter, aka the Nazi cesspool, and Reddit. Both US propaganda platforms with heavy censorship.

Bad, bad move.

I have been defending Andy Yen's idiotic comments because he's not American and doesn't understand the hyper-reactive nature between US Americans and US politics (because our government is literally run by nazis now), but this decision isn't helping; it will fuel and reinforce the negative image already held by those who have canceled their accounts and those who are on the fence.
