Why don’t you get one of the anonymous esims from kycnot.me ?

It’s likely an alternative to blik or internal revolut/n26/cashapp transfers. And in that regard it’s an improvement because of its openness. But privacy is not one of the reasons to use it.

The expiration date on the money and p2p fund transfers requiring an intermediary and an ID.

Now go read the FAQ and reconsider posting that in a Privacy community.

When was the last time you tried to access a Google account from another device in a new location? They won’t let you in, you’ll be in a maze of fake “wrong password” errors, recovery emails that never arrive because they have nevet been sent and whatever they came up with this year.

I like that when you come across one of the many Google dark patterns and complain about it, a fanboy always shows up out of nowhere to tell you it’s impossible and you did something wrong.

Thanks!

Any idea where to find one of these?

Yewtube is like an institution, running since forever. Afair it’s the same person which runs xcancel.

I haven’t seen these until much later

I didn’t get that far. And I only had an Amiga at that time, which made things more difficult to set up. I wonder how fluent transparency would be with AGA, haha. My next attempt was woth a PC around 2003 with KDE3 and it got me hooked.

I loved reading HOWTOs, they were a bit like scene zines, but the content wasn’t that helpful indeed

Contrary to other OSes, the information about it was mainly on the internet, no books or magazines. With only one computer at most homes, and no other internet-connected devices, that posed a problem when something didn’t work.

It took me weeks to write a working X11 config on my computer, finding all the hsync/vsync values that worked by rebooting back and forth. And the result was very underwhelming, just a terminal in an immovable window. I think I figured out how to install a window manager but lost all patience before getting to a working DE. Days and days of fiddling and learning.

Aren’t sysfs entries supposed to be created by kernel modules?

Hauk is the best, rock stable, ephemeral or permanent links, group shares, really has it all

XFCE, using it for over 10 years, not planning to change it unless the DE changes radically.

Xubuntu LTS. I’ve been meaning to switch to Debian Stable when something breaks, but it’s my third LTS on the desktop and 5th on the laptop and there was just no opportunity. I also learned to avoid PPAs and other 3rd party repos, and just use appimages when possible.

You can have a kernel from Testing or even Sid, I believe, but yeah, it’s what we want to avoid - tweaking.

LTS is released every 2 years, for reference.

A mandatory part at the beginning of every Ansible playbook!
