I do this with sports to fit in better and make it easier to socialize.
I do this with music, films, and books because I think some things are objectively better than others in ways that don't always line up with my own tastes.
So you're lying to yourself to fit in instead of exploring the wider world to find undiscovered potential interests that bring you joy. I used to be like that. The earlier you stop, the more content you'll be. If you're worried that you might have bad taste, you're only thinking about how you're perceived by others, not about using your short time on Earth wisely.
That's a very uncharitable interpretation of what I wrote. No, I'm not lying to myself, and what I'm doing is almost the opposite of worrying what other people think.
I'm trying to let good art affect my soul and keep bad art from corrupting it.
Lots of Debian Developers run unstable, and stable gets the most QA, but I'd be careful about running testing until it gets closer to the next freeze. When I used to daily drive testing, there was a period when it was completely broken. Stable and unstable were fine, but testing was borked.
Unstable means that updates could change things about your system that you rely on. This could be a package getting removed, but it could also be a package upgrade that necessitates a change to your workflow or code running on the system..
My new bookmark solution is email, with some extra steps to get back single click bookmarking.
1. Use Raindrop and its browser extension (or mobile app) for saving bookmarks.
2. Subscribe to the RSS feed of my new bookmarks.
3. Use Feedmail to send my bookmarks to me via email, with the full scraped article text included.
Email is a durable format with lots of powerful tools and easy automation. My bookmarks and workflow can survive the death of any of these services. I can tag, search, and read my bookmarks anywhere along with all of my other feeds, newsletters, and notifications. I can also easily forward an article I've bookmarked this way, or reply to self if I want to save my own commentary on it.
The one thing raindrop does that’s magic is you can save all your open ios safari tabs at once. While I never go back and review the 300 open tabs I had open, i have a false sense of security of not losing something i had open.
Well Thiel did name his company after an artifact of evil in the LOTR universe.
I love Tolkien but using his name in political discussions is pointless. He was basically an anarchist whose views wouldn't support any major active political faction today.
It's worth noting that you can opt out of that too. You should have received a privacy disclosure with every credit card you've opened containing instructions on how to opt out. Usually you have to make a phone call - you won't find the option in your online banking portal.
I was thinking of getting a 7a for graphene, but I think I'll wait for the 8 to get graphene support and spring for that.
From what I can tell graphene really is a much more secure OS from an encryption and tracking perspective. Its multi-profile configuration and Google play sandboxing alone would be worth it.
Yeah, it is definitely really nice if you care about privacy/security and can live with some minor limitations. I just switched back to stock Android from GrapheneOS though, to get Android Auto working. My car's built-in navigation just isn't good enough any more.
Yeah, that is annoying that Android Auto requires such permissions.
OTOH, I have used it twice in two models of car, and in both instances it would stop working until I unplugged and replugged the phone. I just keep the phone visible in the cup holder now.
Nix works by putting its packages into some installed folder, and then building a system by symlinking to those packages.
You'd retain the nix package storage between boots (so as to avoid having to redownload/rebuild), and setting the system up just involves setting up some symlinks. - GrahamC's blogpost discusses this in a bit more detail.
"Fresh system each run" isn't too exotic compared to image-based approaches like launching a VM on AWS, or running a Docker image.
I do this with music, films, and books because I think some things are objectively better than others in ways that don't always line up with my own tastes.
