Security enforcement is left as an exercise for God.

Rename the ISOs to BMP images and say they’re art instead.

It’s the other way around. Google specifically blocks Goodlgle Pay being used on GrapheneOS. I believe there’s another contactless payment app called Curve or something that works on GrapheneOS. Requires Google Play Services installed though.

It’d help to know what motherboard you’ve got currently. CPU-Z (or CPU-X if you’re on Linux already) can give you that information.

AMD I find to be the best of out of the box Linux support. What are your use cases? Gaming, web browsing, etc.

As for your power supply, you should be able to find a model number on it to see if it’d support the new card. Some new cards require newer connectors (though adapters are available). The other consideration is power output. Can it supply enough power to the new card along side your other components. There’s a power supply calculator you can use to see if the demand will exceed the supply.

Mozilla made a local translation model for Firefox. I believe there’s a few free apps which use the model to use it standalone.

I still haven’t gotten to give it a full proper go. But Toolbx is designed to assist with development on immutable OSs. Let’s you do regular package installs for all the various Dev tools into a container. Can either install your IDE into the container and run it like a regular app, or use an IDE with built-in Dev Container support.

Is this why Cabin in the Woods listed “Angry molesting tree” as an option?

I did the exact same thing. Wouldn’t like to see it adopted due to accessibility issues. But its a neat trick.

Can you point to any vulnerabilities in its source code as evidence for this?

I’m using Bank Australia with GrapheneOS and it works well. Does the Comm Banks builtin tap and pay work on GrapheneOS at all? Assuming they still have their own version, I haven’t been with them in a while.

That’s pretty much exactly it. Not much benefit for only one application. But I have multiple apps that all recieves notifications via UnifiedPush. My UnifiedPush client (ntfy) stays running in the background, the rest of the apps can go to sleep and get woken up if something haopens.

Is that with using UnifiedPush or the WebSocket notification method?

Signal uses Play Services for its push notifications. It does have a fallback method which maintains a connection to their servers to get message notifications. It requires changing some battery optimisation settings which might have some minor battery impacts.

Personally I’m using Molly which implements UnifiedPush for Push Notifications without Molly/Signal needing to run in the background constantly. Also swaps a few other Google dependencies (like location pins) with open source alternatives.

Having the second profile with Google Services is a good idea though. That was what I used to do before I shed my last few Google dependencies.

When someone first told me about Studio Ghibli I was told it was “like Japanese Disney films”. Went to watch a Castle in the Sky and quite enjoyed it. Then I watched Grave of the Fireflies. I kept telling myself through out watching it “it’ll get happier soon right?”… Pretty sure I just sat there for like 10 minutes after it ended.

It’s fantastically well done. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to bring myself to watch it again.

You can install pretty much any user agent switcher extension on Firefox for Android.

I downloaded FossWallet off F-Droid last week for an annual pass I bought. It only supports Apple Passkey files, but if they offer Google Wallet they’ll usually offer that too.

They forked it

CoMaps is a recent fork of Organic Maps. So those two are pretty similar at the moment in terms of functionality. Osmand I would say has a lot more features and customisation options, but Organic/CoMaps is faster and more responsive.

No requirement to have your legal name in Signal. Though, I do wish it was possible to set a different name for group chats though. Happy to use my real name with friends and family, but would prefer an alias for group chats.

Took me a couple of times to get through it. For the same reason. Well worth it in the end though.
