Nice! Thanks! That takes me back a few years, really reminiscent of some older themes!

Ohh this is nice. What’s that icon theme?

I mean, they do give a single toggle that disables every AI feature (new and old) at once… I think that’s pretty good

If you have money to spare, the form factor is kinda nice

Not me, but a friend, yeah. And others online too.

It’s real satire, the worst kind. Or I guess you could call it self-aware trash? The whole site is “satire” and makes jokes about how this is bad for the ecosystem… But then, the product works. It accepts payments and delivers code in return.

Yeah, perfect analogy. No amount of external helper tools making installs from GitHub easier would change the security implications. (Cargo-binstall is an example of such a helper.)

I use Arch, btw. But no, I wouldn’t blame my incompetence on my distro even if I were infected, which I wasn’t.

I’m wondering how this compares and contrasts against something like the Mecha Comet. There seems to be a lot of similarities.

If you’re up for self-hosting, you can also use something like Calibre-Web or Stump, they have Kobo Sync support AFAIK. I just use OPDS with KOReader though

Zed has AI features, but there’s a config flag that disables all of them in one go. They also have collaboration features that you might want to disable as well… Also telemetry.

It’s a bit weird in Islam. So some important context first.

Basically all of Islam’s rules/laws and stories come from two sources: the Quran and Hadith. You probably already know of the Quran but it’s what they believe to be God’s words verbatim. Hadith, on the other hand, is basically everything the prophet said or did, as recorded by different people.

The Quran was compiled almost immediately after Muhammed died. But Hadith was compiled 2 centuries after that.

To get to the more positive conclusions, you would need to deny a very specific Hadith narrated by Aisha herself. But we only know that she said that because her nephew said so to his students, who then said so to others… So it’s a matter of the verifiability of that chain of trust. But if you believe that Hadith to be false, it would cast doubt on the rest of Hadith and people are not a fan of that idea.

So instead, most Muslims just accept that he’s a pedophile but get offended when you call him a pedophile.

I can shed some light as an ex-Muslim. There are a bunch of common, disgusting excuses: “times were different”, “girls used to mature faster”, “it was common back then”.

There’re more interesting possibilities though. It’s true that it was a political marriage that was basically forced onto Muhammed. But an extension of that reasoning is that the consummation never happened either.

It’s been a while since I looked at this stuff but I remember that there’s actually also a surprisingly compelling case against her ages being 6 and 9. But it would still be 13 to 16 IIRC. The historical side of this is pretty interesting (like how hadith was compiled vs the quran), but not really worth discussing here.

Anyway, yeah, like every other religion, just a cult that grew too large. Anything but admitting that they’re wrong.

Yeah this is true. FolderSync for cloud and Syncthing for p2p should work nicely.

I realise now that I can think of one too. Which is that you don’t need to host it anywhere if you use something like Syncthing.

Every pro you listed is applicable to Vaultwarden as well. But I assume you misread it as Bitwarden.

I can’t think of a reason to choose Keepass over Vaultwarden.

It’s my mom’s phone and I’m a significant bit of distance away from home. So, I want to make changes that are as non-intrusive as possible because she can’t really troubleshoot.

I forget the model but an especially annoying piece of adware on the phone is Glance, which keeps re-enabling and reinstalling itself.

Ads, as of late. Bought my mom one and kinda regret it.
