What do you think about Pinephones? I'm thinking about buying one as my next phone.

I have to agree. I used to play Rainbow 6 with my friends. I enjoyed it, because I was addicted to gaming and they were the only friends I had. After I switched to Linux, I couldn't play R6 online, which led to them... well... not being friends with me anymore. I'm glad I got out, because if the only thing keeping them being friends with me were the all-nighters of Rainbow, there was no friendship to speak of (I knew these people offline, not just online). After this I eventually stopped gaming completely, not because of a few very minor compatibility issues, but because I realised how much time I was wasting gaming.

So essentially, not only did Linux help me get back control of my computing, but it also completely eradicated my gaming addiction and helped realise what functioning relationships look like, since I even started socialising more. An absolute bargain!

This is definitely the case, but I wonder why companies don't add a button, such as "Access website without support", that would get you to the site while clearly telling you that any technical problems (of which, in 99% of cases, there will be none, since all of this seems like supporting Google internet dominance) will be ignored by support.

Fair enough. But again, I seriously doubt that Duolingo uses something not supported in Firefox..

Please elaborate

Your phone cannot be used as a USB by itself. Both the phone and the computer must have an OS running on them already to utilize the MTP protocol, which allows you to transfer files between them.

Edit: A possible approach:

Warning, this is not secure and kind of defeats the point of Tails!

In this scenario, the only way to boot Tails from a phone would be to first boot a different OS on the computer, plug the phone in and mount it using the MTP protocol, then boot a virtual machine image stored on the phone with QEMU or similar.

What are you going to wrap the last blade in if you forget to buy new ones?

hackris ,

Some Slavic languages, such as Russian, use Roman numerals for numbering centuries

Edit: why was this downvoted? If I'm wrong please tell me, I'd like to learn :)

Please. For the love of god, NEVER use a proprietary app to use a piece of FOSS software. I think it's kind of sad that we have this amazing FOSS social network and people use fucking proprietary software to use it.

And, when called out, everyone tells you you're a paranoid, tinfoil hat wearing, organ trafficking criminal
