i use two monitors instead of one

learned keyboard shortcuts and made custom keybinds, installed vimfx on firefox and now i can web browse with one hand, never moving from the keyboard

there are a lot more “news” posts than others, so this isn’t ideal if I want to read discussions in smaller communities sadly

centralized, not open source, even if it’s “okay” now it’ll get enshittified sooner or later. tbh I also don’t really get why people like the tiktok-ish ux…

there were game magazines :p

1. i don’t know, sorry.

2. sadly, yes. the custom rom scene is really dead these days. there are some smaller roms like evolution x, paranoid android, blissos, derpfest (probably a few more) but i’m not sure if using them is a very good idea. honestly haven’t seen much useful feature from those since android 9 days… i just use lineageos btw, but usually an older version (<=android 11 so i can use gravitybox, which gives those customization features)

3. if you can bootloader unlock them, it is possible to install a treble GSI rom, since all android devices released with android 8 oreo and later features treble. try searching phh-treble, these roms are built to work on as many devices as possible and some features may not work properly.

4. sorry, i have no idea about this. maybe you can lock the phone down to the bare minimum by hiding/disabling all the apps except the essential stuff? lineageos stock is pretty much already that, just need to remove the web browser with adb pm uninstall i believe.

i’ll be fully migrating, tho i still occasionally login to the old instance due to muscle memory… lol gotta setup a redirect

lol. i moved from lemmy.sdf.org because their servers had issues too often. seems like it’s back now tho @hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org

can confirm there’s at least a few of us

android tv might indeed be good. something like nvidia shield tv that is officially google certified for those drm bs…

afaik those torrent streaming stuff are based on leeching, i believe having a proper seedbox+jellyfin is a much better choice

afaik you can’t get high resolution or something. i think it can be partially mitigated by running google chrome instead of firefox or (open source) chromium but i never attempted these.

it’s user friendly, used by many normies, better than some alternatives (whatsapp, etc), advertised as private, etc. at least until recently they also mostly ignored governments’ request for data, so it kinda was private for criminals as well.

yeah i do this quite often. tar gz the home folder and pushed it to the phone with rsync/termux

maybe tunak tunak tun

it’s just GPL that’s incompatible with ZFS’s CDDL. FreeBSD has ZFS support built in (OpenZFS). Linux is also supported by OpenZFS.

imperialism, facism, slavery, torturing, … can’t pick one

nah there are hacked/sold accounts

plastic clothes doesn’t seem to get wrinkled as easily, and i guess they shouldn’t be ironed.

you can get some from FOSS conferences, printing them out yourself is also not bad.
