I don't know your threat model, but if airplane mode is not enough, then I wouldn't trust wrapping it in tinfoil either, as that would be less reliable. There are of course better ways than both of these methods. Like leaving your phone home.

I've never had a phone that keeps Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on when enabling airplane mode, but sure, if yours does that then of course also disable them separately.

Airplane mode is supposed to stop any radio transmission from your device. GPS does not transmit anything, so there is no reason to disable it.

So does, you know, airplane mode

Why? Does it offer a better experience than self-hosting Ente?

I only used Ente so I'm genuinely asking. When I open the Immich website, I am met with a big warning:

Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!

Which doesn't look to me like something I'd want to rely on, compared to Ente which is stable and feature complete.

I use Nvidia on Linux for over a decade now, never had a problem. Using the official closed source drivers. I don't know if AMD is better because I never tried it myself, but in my experience Nvidia is working as well as on Windows.

This is on desktop, I don't know about laptops. My experience is also limited to gaming, maybe it's bad for CUDA or something.

Not saying it doesn't happen, but I'm triple booting Windows 10, Windows 11, and Linux for a few years now with GRUB, and Windows never broke it.

Informative article, but damn the clickbait

You are driven by hate. Rowling is not going to get any more "enabled" than she already is with her bottomless pit of money. If you are truly an ally, suggest better media to support, rather than being combative and alienating everyone in the proces.

Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.

I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn't make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.

It would actually be funnier to leave them as a gift as if Trump can't afford them.

Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I'd like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I'd like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.

It would be ridiculous to pretend so. Giving money to trans-supportive games absolutely does though.

Seeing how the game prominently features trans characters and that Rowling wasn't involved in making it, it probably doesn't bother many people.

I want to support media that show and empathize with trans people, and Hogwarts is one of them. But yes, even though she was not involved, she surely is receiving some royalties due to the setting.

What, is he going to go into hiding and lay low?

Yes, so either the reviews were all death threats, in which case I'm fine with them being removed, or Google/Apple is secretly collaborating with Reddit.

How did they remove bad reviews, and on which platform? To my knowledge neither Google Play nor the App Store allows developers to do that, so it would have to be a more complicated situation with Google/Apple collaboration.

Sure, but the public perception was completely different. Tesla was a leftist political statement. Electric cars? Saving the climate? What a ridiculous idea only libs would subscribe to, electric cars will never work. Teslas were keyed by coal-rolling right wingers.

The opinion went a total 180°, and many people still own Teslas from that time. I have no sympathy for e.g. Cybertruck owners, but many Tesla owners were buying them years ago, when they were seen as tech for progressives that care about the environment.

That will accomplish you preventing them from seeing the contents of your phone. It will also accomplish you not getting past the border. At best.

Yeah, I was thinking of a new repo with no existing code.

In your case you'd want to uncheck the creation of a readme so the hosted repo is empty and can be pushed to without having to overwrite (force) anything.
