It’s the other way around. Google specifically blocks Goodlgle Pay being used on GrapheneOS. I believe there’s another contactless payment app called Curve or something that works on GrapheneOS. Requires Google Play Services installed though.

The whole three months salary thing was made up by some memory compnay’s marketing department.

It’d help to know what motherboard you’ve got currently. CPU-Z (or CPU-X if you’re on Linux already) can give you that information.

AMD I find to be the best of out of the box Linux support. What are your use cases? Gaming, web browsing, etc.

As for your power supply, you should be able to find a model number on it to see if it’d support the new card. Some new cards require newer connectors (though adapters are available). The other consideration is power output. Can it supply enough power to the new card along side your other components. There’s a power supply calculator you can use to see if the demand will exceed the supply.

Mozilla made a local translation model for Firefox. I believe there’s a few free apps which use the model to use it standalone.

I still haven’t gotten to give it a full proper go. But Toolbx is designed to assist with development on immutable OSs. Let’s you do regular package installs for all the various Dev tools into a container. Can either install your IDE into the container and run it like a regular app, or use an IDE with built-in Dev Container support.

I played the demo when it came out. You got the option near the start of the game to either destroy the caretakers array or just use it to go home. I tried the latter, but I failed the check. Not sure if that’s guaranteed or if you can really get Voyager back home in a few hours of leaving.

This amount obviously includes automated emails sent on your behalf by Jira and Confluence. Of course also a tiny *Up to 400 in the fine print.

Is this why Cabin in the Woods listed “Angry molesting tree” as an option?

I did the exact same thing. Wouldn’t like to see it adopted due to accessibility issues. But its a neat trick.

Can you point to any vulnerabilities in its source code as evidence for this?

I’ve tried to play it through twice and haven’t really been able to get much past Act 1. Only saw hope it ended a bit though a Let’s Play stream.

I’m using Bank Australia with GrapheneOS and it works well. Does the Comm Banks builtin tap and pay work on GrapheneOS at all? Assuming they still have their own version, I haven’t been with them in a while.

Guns don’t kill people. Physics kills people.

That’s pretty much exactly it. Not much benefit for only one application. But I have multiple apps that all recieves notifications via UnifiedPush. My UnifiedPush client (ntfy) stays running in the background, the rest of the apps can go to sleep and get woken up if something haopens.

Is that with using UnifiedPush or the WebSocket notification method?

Signal uses Play Services for its push notifications. It does have a fallback method which maintains a connection to their servers to get message notifications. It requires changing some battery optimisation settings which might have some minor battery impacts.

Personally I’m using Molly which implements UnifiedPush for Push Notifications without Molly/Signal needing to run in the background constantly. Also swaps a few other Google dependencies (like location pins) with open source alternatives.

Having the second profile with Google Services is a good idea though. That was what I used to do before I shed my last few Google dependencies.

We all know all the cool kids are hanging out on GitHub contributing to Buttplug.io

I’ve just started using beets for organizing my collection. It’s relatively easy once you get the hang of it. Ease I suppose differs based on how organised/tagged your collection is currently.

When someone first told me about Studio Ghibli I was told it was “like Japanese Disney films”. Went to watch a Castle in the Sky and quite enjoyed it. Then I watched Grave of the Fireflies. I kept telling myself through out watching it “it’ll get happier soon right?”… Pretty sure I just sat there for like 10 minutes after it ended.

It’s fantastically well done. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to bring myself to watch it again.

I’d quite like to see the voting age lowered to 16. I’d lean towards it being made compulsory over allowing voluntary voting in Australia.

As the one expert mentioned we could use some more education on voting in the curriculum to help prepare students for it. Teaching them how prefferential voting works, how to research candidates, etc.
