One should be able to skip it when creating an account and then it should default to Jan 1st 1970 on all open source OS’s to provide anonymity.

Anything but a mainstream brand!

Pixels are stupid for GOS since the HW is mid at best and overpriced. If you are buying a phone to flash it anyway, the decision should be made only on hardware (and ability to flash)

I currently use Infomaniak object storage with restic. I like it since it’s Openstack and if they ever go to shit I can easily switch to another Openstack provider. OVH is also one I have used in the past.

Switzerland, but I see how I should have specified that in my first comment.

*in the US

I have been to libraries in the US and in Europe and in Europe you are supposed to return the book exactly where you got it from if you dont decide to check it out. In the US though I was yelled at for doing that.

Yes, also one of my use cases and not worth a zuck-strap-on for me.

I am a Linux user, I dual boot Kubuntu and Windows.

On Friday I bought a new game on steam, checked on protondb and it is platinum, tried to launch it and it failed. I tried 4 different proton compatability modes and it failed to launch each time. While I am a sysadmin and am well capable of troubleshooting it, I really just wanted to play that game so I rebooted into windows.

If I hadn’t had that other win11 SSD in my machine, I would have had to not play that game because I had no energy to troubleshoot that on a friday night after fighting with linux all day at work.

Tldr: some times Linux is a seemless as Windows, but not always, even when it is supposed to be and is for others. Even if you have that activate windows watermark.

I wonder if the Steam Frame is the codename deckard. I was really excited for that because it was supposed to have Steam Deck performance, but with an Arm processor that will be hard since most games need an emulation layer.
