Re:iFixit tools in Apple's lab on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @05:45AM (#25057275)
Is that why they invent new and totally unnecessary driver bits? And make it so that you can't even replace a component from one iphone with a 100% apple made component from another identical iphone?

It's obvious that apple has spent a lot of money on intentionally making their devices harder to repair.

I remember that I had some major problems with divinity on arch. Like I had to move around some files after every update, otherwise it wouldn't launch.

Has this been fixed?

Wasn't the whole blue light thing disproved about a year ago? IIRC more light late at night disrupts the cycle, but the color of it was irrelevant.
In my experience FF is not behind chrome with new features. It's usually on par, or even better. Sure safari is annoying. But the developer tools in firefox are alright. I even find them better when it comes to debugging css stuff.

Install Jitsi on your own vps (prefably hosted in your city) and your set.

A vps wiht 2 cores and 2 gb works really well at our company and costs close to nothing. Took maybe 4 hours to set up their docker-compose setup, it even does letsencrypt automatically.

Well there are a lot of swedish stuff in the Canry islands. It's probably the number one holiday spot for Swedes. Or at least it was back then. Just walking down the beach there you'll hear swedish everywhere. And there are plenty of swedes who owns a house there...

There is a difference between goverment surveilance and mass survielance.

In order to escape mass surveilance this is most likely enough. As all you have to do is to be different.

If you think you are actually "target" by a goverment youv'e got bigger problems. And you should probably stay away from email alltogether.

Because Nokia is a soure of pride in Finland. It means a lot to a small country to have a company like that.

And then they made a deal with the devil. And now it's all gone.
