Also this while you're at it. 🦊 (I don't think this particular one is available any more)

No one is posting memes? Fine, I'll do it myself then.

Saw a similar meme on R*ddit, but it had Finland x Denmark. You can make the same meme with any Nordic country (tho it's open to debate whether Estonia belongs into the Nordics, but at least we want to be considered a Nordic country).

Learning about new things is the best thing about Linux. I keep a folder with screenshots and saved html pages for all the fixes, workarounds and settings I've accumulated over the two years I've used Linux on my desktop. Highly recommend keeping a similar folder.

Yeah, snapshots. It would make more sense to store them on a different drive, but I can't add an additional drive into my PC (it's a prebuilt so I'm waiting until I can afford a new PC) and I can't be bothered with saving them to an external hard drive.

Selvä, kiitos! Voinko muuten ottaa mallia tai jopa kopsata Sopulista näille kahdelle yhteisölle järjestyssäännöt?

[–] lapislazuli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

Tehty ja tehty.

Voidaan minun puolestani pitää myös tuo vanha osite (translator@sopuli.xyz), vaihtaisin vain tuon näyttönimen. :)

Voisin ottaa vaikkapa Estonian (joka on toinen äidinkieleni) ja Translator. Saako muuten yhteisöjen nimiä vaihtaa? Samalla muuttuisi tietenkin yhteisön tarkoitus, mutta tuo Translator on sellainen, että se ei kerro oikein mitään. Facebook (anteeksi ruma sana) on väärällään jotain käännösryhmiä, jossa ei-kääntäjät tarjoavat palvelujaan eikä sellainen ole mistään kotoisin. Minusta parempi yhteisö olisi Translation Studies eli käännöstiede, jossa saa keskustella kääntämisestä tieteenalana ja ilmiönä. t. opiskelen alaa.

English: I can take Translator (which I'd love to re-name to Translation Studies) and Estonian. I won't promise that the communities will get huge amounts of new members, but I can post some content to get things started. It ain't much but it's honest work!

Something something our Yeast overlords

 

I hope this is not considered a low-effort post, but I wanted to ask if using stock Android without signing in to your Google account/ using Play Store is worth it. It should be more private, right? I'm planning on buying the cheapest Samsung phone there is (probably the A14). I currently have a stock Android Oneplus phone. I bought it before I had my "privacy epiphany". I knew that you shouldn't use Huawei phones as those "definitely" were spying on you; I read that Oneplus phones are safe because they use Western hardware, but they can still gather your data via the software, right? But I digress.

The reason I'm planning on buying a cheap (Samsung) phone is because I realized I don't need a fancy phone (for me "fancy" is a 400 local currency mid-ranger). I considered getting a dumb phone as they are definitely private, but the utter lack of features is depressing. The main reason is I can't give up the camera. So I'm willing to go with the cheapest smartphone, because it's still miles better than the best dumb phone.

As I understand it, most cheap phones are not supported by GrapheneOS and besides I'm worried I might brick the phone. I'm willing to use APKs (from official sources and I only need a few apps). To return to my question, is stock Android without a Google account/ Play Store better than using an account/ Play Store?

EDIT: Thanks all for the useful replies. I'm still not sure what I'll end up doing or what my current financial situation will allow me to do, but I'm pretty sure I'll be moving away from Google anyway. Thanks again!
