I am using a Samsung phone

Well, don't. I know that's not immediately helpful, but Samsung is well known for shipping tons of useless bloatware in their Android ROM and not giving a shit about user privacy.
I think it was their CEO who suggested simply not having sensitive conversations within earshot of their Smart-TVs, when it became known that they're always listening.

Throwing Fairphone into the pot. They're well supported by LineageOS and have the additional advantage of being user-repairable.
But they only ship inside Europe.

People; what a bunch of bastards.

Really simple. Just ask it to point out the error. Also maybe tell it how the code is wrong. And then hope that the new code didn't introduce new errors in formerly working sections. And that it understood what you meant. In a language that is inherently vague.

Flohmarkt? Seems simple enough.

Yes.
There used to be a service where you set an amount you paid each month and you could then mark pages/services for donation. At the end of the month your money would be split between all the pages/services you marked.
It was called flattr.
The elegance of this system is that you can set aside an amount of money you're comfortable spending on art, or whatever you wanna categorise it as. So you're fully in control of your spending. If videos/songs/articles/things cost a flat amount it's easy to lose track of the total.

Here's the complete list of ads I find acceptable:

That is for any and all media.

Almost like ecosystems make sense 🤔

In an attempt to weasel out of the liability for the woman's death Disney's lawyers pulled out the forced arbitration clause of the widower's Disney+ subscription.
Meaning they're effectively arguing that because he gives them money to use their service they should be allowed to get away with murder or at least criminal negligence.
I don't think they've realised yet, what a foot-gun this argument is. On top of the obvious moral issues with this line of argument. I mean, this has "give us your firstborn" vibes.

It's honestly disgusting.
USA says "jump" and every country goes "Yes, daddy. How high, daddy?"

Don't forget every other food blog 😑

I'm a little miffed that 2FA support is a paid feature.
I'm using KeePassXC and have no intention of switching, plus I'm paying for an account anyway, I just feel that 2FA is such an essential feature for a password manager that it shouldn't be locked behind a paywall.

That's only useful in commit messages, issue discussions and stuff like that. Why would the devs even make that execute in source files, where it's all but guaranteed to be a false match??

The ActivationPolicy I added in an attempt to replicate what wg-quick produces, as I recall.

Do you notice anything wrong with my config? https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/30495

Yea it took some time until my FP4 was supported by lineage, back when it was new. But if the price is an issue I doubt OP would get the latest model, anyway.

While the ad blocker integrated into Iodé is nice, their freemium model turns me away. Putting some ad blocking capabilities behind a subscription feels shady. Also they're rather slow with updates. I've used it for a while and watched the ad blocker going from blocking virtually everything to blocking 66-75%.

Kickstarter has a massive spam problem in my experience and best I can tell it's not talked about.
I backed a single project, immediately deactivated any and all communication from KS, except for that project, but I keep getting mails from different domains, advertising various stupid crowdfunding projects.
I have 16 blocked mails in the last week alone.

Motorola's Moto G series is usually supported and relatively cheap.
However, if you're willing to spend a little bit more I recommend getting a Fairphone, if you can. Simply because they guarantee 10 years of device support after release and you can easily get original replacement parts.
So you won't have to get a new phone just because the battery died.
