Exactly the same way their PC did; re-read what they said.

Signal on GrapheneOS with no Google anything here, and it works great.

It may surprise you to learn that the machine you describe has existed for many years now. I own one. It is wonderful, built solidly with high-quality components.

It is the Panasonic FZ-55 Mk2. The Mk3 is a bit newer. Both can be had on eBay reasonably priced, and Panasonic will sell you parts. (I recommend against the Mk1 because it is quite a bit slower.)

The FZ-56 is the newest, not yet available used.

These are from Panasonic's semi-rugged lineup, not nearly as heavy or thick as the fully-rugged.

Linux runs beautifully on it. I personally use Fedora KDE. Everything just works.

What could possibly go wrong.

I have no Google anything installed on GrapheneOS and SNCF Connect works fine.
You are mistaken.

That link just gave me cancer from simply looking at it.

At least cut everything from the ? onwards.

Are these not mutually exclusive?

I'm on board, but this doesn't sound right:

>Drop the connection mid-transfer and you get partial execution: a command like rm -r /usr/share/program can truncate to rm -r /usr.

With truly terrible timing it might truncate to that, yes, but since the pipe broke at that point there'd be no final CR to launch it.

Or am I wrong on this?

Any bank is welcome to hold an account for her, but if the US finds out they will exclude said bank from the US financial system, which is generally a kiss of death for a bank.

So, no bank will go anywhere near her, alas.

I use Comaps daily on GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 Pro and it works great.
