Don’t forget the most important prerequisite: be a psychopath. Something something 12-15% of the world’s top CEOs are clinically psychopaths, so this is the world we get.

Cool, you know who doesn’t have this issue? People who uninstalled the spyware called Windows from their device.

Lucky for them ethical hackers (CCC) found that and did not use the data.

In other words “ethical hackers” wasted a great opportunity to give shithead politicians a taste of their own venom. Very frustrating.

Hope Valve comes up with something eventually

That could be interesting. I want to see how SteamOS goes, but the potential is grand.

In terms of the iPhone being locked down, I’m not sure what you’re looking to do but I personally managed to get ad-free Reddit, YouTube and YouTube music ad-free (+sponsorblock) just using apps from the App Store. All of them free or one-time payment of 3 euros. It was actually easier to do than with Android where I had to “sideload” stuff from GitHub since Android is owned by google and all frontends to their programs are banned.

As long as you get yourself an email that isn’t iCloud you can also take all your contacts and email with you wherever you want. Then you can install KDE Connect as you would on Android and can send files freely between you phone and Pc.

This is all to say, I don’t feel more locked down on the iPhone than on Android, which was a surprise for me.

If android goes the way it’s going, then iPhone is the obvious choice.

And this is why I get increasingly tired of the whole privacy-seeking endeavor. Jumping through hoops to get GrapheneOS+Linux working for me, with the sacrifices that come with it, only to have my government hand out my healthcare and biometric data to the US anyway. It’s all so tiresome.

Came looking for this comment! It’s my favorite font of all time. So clean and legible.

Literally the story of Monopoly the board game.

Enchant weapons/armor to +x%. It usually companies Pay2Win items that you can use to have a 100% chance of upgrading, or at least not breaking your armor.

Uh?

The question was what’s a good european laptop manufacturer and you immediately reply with a US manufacturer’s name so if you’re not a bot you’re at best a badly programmed NPC.

Are you a bot? That sounds like a bot response.

All I see is a bureaucratic nightmare. No democracy to be seen, starting from the fact all politicians in the EU are bourgeoisie.

Their servants are all unpaid interns who have a near zero chance of ever staying in Brussels. Those that don’t come from well-off families that can support them will never enter a single EU institution.

Framework is a US company and nobody wants to pay a premium to advance fascism thank you very much.

Thinkpads are a safe choice. I have the same use case as OP and i use one. Battery last 7-8h of light use, plenty for a plugless day’s work.

Thinkpad x1 carbon gen 6, or if you’re willing to up your budget a bit, a x13 is also a great fit.

Mate that camera is at least anatomically compatible and smooth on the sides.

Try getting a scrub down your peehole in search of any type of pus and pray they find something quickly lest they search deeper.

And don’t ask me how I know.

My disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined.

People aren’t made that way, but competion incentivizes that.

Why oh why would people be against the very institutions where such behaviours are reinforced?

I mean, considering how many bluescreens Windows is giving these days, you’ll probably have a more stable experience in Arch lol.
