Trying to make sure no one has your data (except them).

It didn't take me too long at all, maybe a week or so, granted I'm just using it for english. I've gotten a lot faster since then but about a week to get comfortable using it.

I can't go back to a regular phone keyboard anymore, it's just so much nicer to use, I would fat finger and have to correct so much on regular keyboards, but now it's almost never.

Hope you enjoy it!

helping developing countries by giving them predatory loans and putting them into more debt under the guise of fixing climate change is honestly just so on brand for the world right now.

It'd take something pretty wild to surprise me at this point.

Ahh, that makes sense.

O, how you can't have the alternative app stores on the google app store? I mean I suppose.

I don't understand how they lost against Apple but won against Google - which actually does allow you to download alternative app stores.

I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn't realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.

I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I'd done wrong 😂.

Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.

It's a fish I'd like to duck.

That's a pretty good way to put it.

Yeah, I just want cheaper rent, but realistically that'll never happen.

 

I rent an apartment in a big subdivided house, I live on the ground floor. An aircon unit just fell out of my upstairs neighbours window and landed just outside my own window. This was a bit alarming because not half an hour earlier I was poking my head out that window to water my plant (the plant is fine thankfully). There's a whole row of aircons sitting outside windows that could all also fall out which is also concerning.

I'm curious if there's anything I can do in the way of complaining to anyone about my landlord not providing a safe living environment?

I'm doubtful, but wanted to ask, just in case.
