I never knew about this. It seems strange to me that they'd give work permits to others but not their culturally, ethnically similar neighbors. I wonder why they'd prefer to give permits to others?

I was you once. In 2018, I bought a dumb, black-and-white laser printer (Brother HL-L2300D). It has done nothing but print whenever asked. I've only had to change the toner once (to be fair, I print infrequently). It doesn't require special software. It was cheap. I highly recommend going this route.

What I do is use scrcpy to navigate apps that aren't navigable via remote. It works pretty well. Just turn on wireless debugging in developer options and adb connect. Then, type scrcpy, and you can control the thing with your laptops mouse and keyboard!

I think the previous poster might not have been being serious.

You should be able to set the region and the language independently, right? What if you're an English speaker living in Germany, for example?

You can run them in a VM...

True. Me too. The fact that you can degoogle some Android phones while you cannot de-apple iphones makes the lie of omission particularly vicious.

Why not just get the storage box and run the Nextcloud instance with the storage box mounted? Just curious.

Pot calling the pan burnt-arsed

Thank you for this!

Well, in this case, it is a lie of omission. It is true that Android devices are massive trackers. But, so are Apple devices.

I'm shocked there isn't a constant media outrage

The media is generally owned by very wealthy people and, as a result, reports in ways that benefit the rich and powerful. Centralization of media is very bad for democracy.

I believe, if you use Headscale (https://github.com/juanfont/headscale) as your server, and just the CLI, it's all open source.

Maybe it'll be used like "no loitering" laws. Often not enforced, but useful when you don't like something and can call it illegal.

Which part?

What do you mean?

Thoughtcrimes

You can also just run Onenote in a virtual machine.

Firefox is the good option. It is not controlled by Google.

Yes, but when good options exist, why give thought to which bad option is less bad?

Mullvad is no longer ideal for torrenting because they discontinued port forwarding. Airvpn is a good alternative that still provides port forwarding.
