on Do you run a Custom ROM? · c/android · 2 pts · 3y

Would if I could, but I cannot.

I have "debloated" as much as I can, which includes a fair amount of Google stuff. I don't have a Google account.

No drawbacks. In fact, if anyone, like me, is unable to root their phone or install a different ROM, the simple process of using adb to "uninstall" the apps nets you a few more hours of battery per charge.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

I know couples that do this. And they get in so many little fights about... everything related to this. Not cute fights either, where they end up laughing. Serious "we're breaking up and getting a divorce" fights.

Maybe I'm too old for this sort of thing. It sounds manipulative. I mean, if my partner were to ask to do this, and I said "no," wouldn't that open the door to some wildly speculative series of questions? And then we would know our locations...and what happens if it turns off? Or one of us forgets our phone? More fights over nothing. Or worse: Remember Courtney Clenney? One of the fights that lead to a murder was about location sharing.

Hi. Not sure what to say about your edits, but you might be able to ping some users from Mastodon who are generally very reactive.

@openstreetmap@en.osm.town for example might direct you to the wiki page with your answer

Perhaps this is the type of thing you'd need to review? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element#Situations_where_multiple_elements_may_be_needed

I don't know. I always ask for help if things get complicated. The OSM community is cool, so they'll help out.

Both have good file managers. XFCE has more options for visual customisation in my opinion. Memory usage is similar. I think XFCE works better with multiple monitors. I use LXQt and it is a little quirky---but that may be related to Openbox.

You won't get much privacy from a dumbphone.

I had the Punkt. and sold it. Things might be better now, but Signal had delays...up to 2 hours sometimes to receive a message.

KaiOS probably shares data (no proof or sources for this, just guessing). That is a large chunk of the available phones, depending on where you live.

You could do straight Debian or anything else Debian-based like Mint Debian Edition or MX.

Otherwise Fedora is very recommended for general purpose desktop Linux. But, that isn't Debian.

I don't know if Kali is really recommended for general purpose.

I'm interested in seeing the other recommendations here, it is always fun to see what other users recommend or use. I use Alpine but it isn't always perfect as a desktop for people who don't like things breaking.

I've lived here since 2006 and I haven't met a single person that participated in any of the riots, which are offshoots of sanctioned strikes and do not represent France as a whole. I've had some students that strike for the environment or maybe do walkouts.

The closest I came to one was a strike about police violence and I happened to be in a café and had to evacuate because of year gas. In that instance, it turned out the person they were striking for lied.

So, I can't say why they want to destroy stuff.

Right now, Alpine. I've gone over the Wiki and don't need to switch any time soon. It is more to have something bookmarked for later.
