I used my phone as hotspot thinking “how much data would download it anyway, maybe it just needs internet to do geo2ip for suggesting locale” (it actually does that) but instead it downloaded another 3gb

From some YouTube videos I’m intrigued in cachyos + hyprland, do you think it’s a good idea to wipe my laptop and switch to that?
Edit: I wiped my laptop and now I have no idea how to connect to wifi and all the settings because I assumed it had a gui for that like kde instead is all from terminal lol

Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•US officials forced to share bald JD Vance meme by denying tourist’s claim he was denied entry over photo2·9 days agoSince 2023 they need you to fill the online immigration form online from this app or in a web app inside WeChat. If you don’t have a phone, you can do an extremely long line to a kiosk where you essentially do the same.
Immigration office then they want to see the qr code generated by that app, it can be a screenshot and you can generate it while abroad (they also wanted the legacy handwritten slip, maybe it was just for a temporary measure waiting for other ports to update)

Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•US officials forced to share bald JD Vance meme by denying tourist’s claim he was denied entry over photo7·10 days agoAfter a quick analysis of the app it looks like used by an activity licensed by a japanese software house that shines it to see if it has a live person in front of the camera or a picture of it. The legitimate use of this in the app it’s because you can apply to visa, passports and certificates remotely without the need of going to the embassy (you still need to go in person for identification though, as they don’t really trust it)
