Such a pretty girl!

More than meets the eye?

Cold enough you’ll have to cut your Tauntaun open and crawl inside if you want to survive the night.

Defiantly one of the greatest bands of the generation. This song reminds me of someone special!

I have a Stanley mug, bought it in 96 when I was working in construction. It’s been kicked off scaffolding more times than I can count.

Used so much that the green started coming off ten+ years ago. So I sanded it off and it now has a brushed stainless look.

The lip cover has been gone for at least 15 years, worked well when it was there though. The mug is far too big to fit in any cup holder and has been tossed around mercilessly in every truck I have ever owned without spilling a drop up until the day it broke off.

The lid has chew marks where sharp puppy teeth of my long dead forever friend had himself a munch.

I can’t see ever replacing it and I don’t see it ever breaking to the point I’ll need to.

I also have a knife in the running that would fit the question.

Almost never. I can only think of two or three times since my first iPhone 3gs.

I want half Eddieee!

It is probably more your OS fingerprint. Use a useragent switcher and see if that helps.

At some point though you have to wonder if that is even worth it. Best of luck!

While I agree that everyone should be able to enjoy privacy and security, i don’t agree that GOS should compromise their standards and invite new/more threat model’s that compromise their standards for security.

I’m not downvoting you BTW. I don’t think your trolling and think you would like to enjoy GOS but can’t for one reason or another.

Any way nave a nice evening/day.

Cant expect a custom OS to sacrifice their business model and standards. Obviously they cant provide what they do on other devices and what they do is provide the most secure OS available on android.

The only phone that has the hardware security that GOS requires is the Pixel. I hope one day fairPhone has a secure enough hardware to support GOS.

I didn’t want to support google and buy a pixel either. I did and put GOS on it the second I bought it. Turns out I love GOS so much now that I don’t regret the phone purchase that much. I get it though, sucks to have to buy something from google.

Your status has been updated to single.

General strike. Under fascism if you break the flow of capital you stifle their means of power.

Not paying taxes opens people up to legal trouble. It is still legal for us to withhold the means of production though. This will only work till they have robots that can easily replace the workforce.

Sorry your going through this shit! I don’t have any answers. It might be an option to apply for school in a less dangerous country. Again, sorry you have to go through this!

That’s the point of the exercise, to show that we don’t have any enforceable laws.

Arch isnt that hard to use, just more maintenance, you have to update often and you can break things easier. It is defiantly harder to install. Thats why I recommend Garuda as it has a nice gui installer. It comes fully riced too. KDE dragonized is what i went with. The non gaming edition.

You will have to maintain your new system with fresh updates very regularly. You will have to get used to going through .pacnew files. Luckily there are easy ways to do this using meld to view pacnew files side by side with their corresponding config file that helps you migrate data easily.

Being an arch based distro your on the bleeding edge of linux and this means sometimes you will get cut! But an update will come along fairly quickly to heal those wounds. For instance the screen rotation broke a few months back. Easy fix in udev config though.

Debian based distros are pretty bullet proof, takes a but more to fuck one up. You’ll have to wait a lot longer for the things arch users get every day.

Personally i don’t find garuda to be that hard to maintain but Im used to arch already so I know what to expect and more of how to fix things. One of the best things about garuda is it uses brtfs by default and sets up snapper for you so when things go wrong you have an easier time fixing things.

You can always try it out and if it’s not for you you can move on to the next distro. And hop until you find what your looking for.

Best of luck!

I cant do it all on my own, I’m no superman!

So I installed Fedora on my surface. It was a huge pain in the ass. Then I went the with easy arch install of Garuda and everything has been pretty painless. I’m not really suggesting you follow suit as arch distros do require a bit of maintenance others don’t. But you can research garuda and see if it’s a fit for your needs and see if the maintenance is worth it. One benefit of the arch install is almost everything worked right out of the box. Didn’t even need a usb heyboard for installation. Full disk encryption was easy to use because the keyboard just works. That wasn’t the case in fedora, i has installed with full disk encryption and would have to pull out the USB keyboard every boot just to unlock and boot then I could plug the surface keyboard back in to use. Just a heads up if you are wanting to use full disk encryption. You can also set up the encryption to unlock via USB and while not that hard to setup that might be more work than you want to be doing.

Whatever distro you pick you should install the linux-surface kernel and drivers for the stylus. They can be found here, along with specific instructions.
