You are probably correct. Didn't check the repo.

Check out HeliBoard on f-droid.

50-75% Dark chocolate that isn't too sweet. US based.

Running tp-link. So far no issues. Asus is good, tp-link gives you more features on the cheaper models than Asus like vlan if you want it.

Yes to google maps if you have the play services activated.

No to pay/wallet.

Yes to Android Auto as of recently. The grapheneos team just released a implementation of it.

Also both require an account to download anything, from their stores.

I dont know if its better but Newpipe because it can do more than just YouTube.

Video on setting up next cloud on Ubuntu server 22.04

Learn Linux TV next cloud set up Ubuntu 22.04

Some steps can be skipped if self-hosting as this tutorial is more for using a hosting platform. Instruction may change when 24.04 is release.

When we became fancy individuals. Pinkies up! 🎩

Jk, never seen anyone eat them with a fork and knife. Seem like extra work but less messy, so thats a plus.

Ebooks. Can store more on a reading tablet, easier to transport most of the time, sometimes lighter than physical books, hold my spot easily where I left off, can read in darker places, easier to store. Still have physical but liking digital more. Use an eink display tablet. Buy the books then download epubs or PDFs.

By A.I. are you mostly talking about the chat bot kind like ChatGPT? Because A.I. is a pretty vast field with many benefits.

Collabora Office, but it can lag at times.

My first, I'm pretty sure, was Ubuntu but for playing around with.

My first one that I stayed with and kept as an actually OS was PopOS. Haven't changed since. Works well and does what I need. Can't wait to see what Cosmic has in store.

As for what made me go to Linux. Windows was cumbersome to program in. Had to use another app to run command lines, putty. Used Linux terminals before and knew that it was easier to run programs from command line so I decided to give the desktop a try. So much better! Ended up keeping Linux because it was faster, more clean, and I was able to accomplish majority of the tasks I used windows for. For the things that don't work on Linux, I have other devices for.

It may not be very noticeable but you are building muscle. Body change is slow but you will get there. Don't be discourage, you already made gains from weight lost alone, just keep at it and you will hit your goal. It took me a while to see growth in arms but it will come.

At this point, I will say go try free weights. You have been using machines for close to a year so you should have the general motion down for each exercise. You can try pushing back with your trainer/coach and insist on starting some free weights.

When using free weights, start light, get comfortable with the motion, then move to more heavy. Try to restrict any extra motion outside of the movement you are working on. If you need to do extra motions to move the weight, go lighter or try negatives. Negatives are the motion of slowly relaxing the muscle. For example, when doing bicep curls, there are two motions, a pull towards you (contracting the bicep) and a release down (relaxing the bicep). Negatives are the relax part of the motion but you relax as slow as possible, let the weight go down as slow as you can. Negatives can help build strength without going through the whole motion.

Negatives really help with pull ups if you can't do any. Grab hold of a bar at a high position and as slowly as you can lower yourself down.

It take around 1 year to see any noticeable results. I'm not talking night and day results, just some growth. The result is going to vary depending on where you start and also depends on genetics. Some people build muscles faster than others.

Results also do not need to be strictly physical, they can be mental as well. As change can be the mentality of managing your health, feeling like moving around is much easier, less pain, etc. The end goal really depends on the program that is set.

Since your starting point was "a lot of fat" it may be hard to notice physical changes (muscle growth) within that time span. The most obvious changes will be fat lost if dieting and exercising consistently. You may also feel moving around seems much easier. Just keep at it and the results will come as long as your body is being pushed.

Machines are not a bad starting place, especially if you do not have form. They restrict movement to just focus on the targeted muscle. This can help teach and show you the forms for training each muscle. Form it very important in lifting, more so than weight. This will prevent injury and make training more efficient. Once you are comfortable with the forms then free weights can be an option. Free weights will use more supporting muscles to maintain form, not always the most targeted for specific muscle.

As for weight lost. Slow and stead is much better in the long run than rapid weight lost. This usually equates to changing how you eat and your habits. Doing so will help you keep the weight off in the long run. A rate of 1 or 2 pounds a week is pretty good.

Cutting is more so for leaning out fat to make muscles more definitive. You need to build muscles first before you cut. Right now it seems like you are more in the state of getting to a sustainable body weight and forming muscles as you go.

Growth is always must slower than people make it seem. Its the consistency and hard work long periods later that tends to get notices. Keep it up and before you know it you will get to a more noticeable "he goes to the gym" look. More importantly is you improving your overall health. Best of luck.

Yes, but its not supported on everything. I use Yubikeys since they support more interaction types. I personally use them to lock my more important things when I can. Like my password vault, financial sites, emails, accounts, etc.

For the accounts that are whatever, less important I use OTP. You can also store a limited amount of OTP tokens on the Yubikey and use their open source software to view the codes.

ALWAYS buy a backup if you do end up locking accounts with it, just in case you lose it. It is more secure than having a code saved digitally as you need the physical key to unlock things.

Subscribed first then all if I want to see what else is there.
