You still can, at least on Android, it’s just less straightforward, and a bit less consistent

For anyone curious, makes mobile gaming a whole lot less painful too

I… Don’t know that I’d call Mullvad a good Chrome alternative. It’s the Tor browser for clearnet. Vivaldi yes, Mullvad… I love it, I use it, it is not what people who use Chrome want, largely

Honestly, I don’t even code much, and I didn’t at all when I downloaded emacs, but it’s so damn useful that it stays open any time my PC is on. Only time I close it is to make sure that my files stay synced when I leave my laptop on, and do something on my desktop.

Oh that’s gross as shit. Seems they have a general BYOD plan, but I guess that only applies if they have that model of phone.

Didn’t even realize that could be an issue, given I’ve used a PinePhone of all things on my carrier and it worked as fine as one could expect mobile Linux to work

Yeah, I’ve tried finding alternatives, because having a second phone number was helpful, but… Nothin’. It’s still the fake phone number I give out to companies to stop them spamming my phone though

As a reminder to everyone:

If you can afford it, you can 100% just… Buy a phone online and use it with your carrier. Make sure it’s carrier unlocked, but yeah. All but one of my phones (bought in an emergency) was bought this way, and I’ve been through… 5 or 6? carriers and never had an issue

goes to focus

PAID: Lootbox Losers™️ is an immersive online experience-

I both love, and hate this. Thanks.

Here’s hoping they put their money where their mouth is.

I mean, SL took off enough that it’s still here. A lot of F2P MMOs from around then aren’t really around anymore at all, I can only think of 2 others.

It may not be one of the big MMOs, but an estimated 600k MAU isn’t anything to sneeze at either.

I mean, yeah, it’s your computer. Just login on the root account, nothing bad ever comes of that, not even once, nope.

Who needs ISOs in 2026?

It’s even simpler now: Plug in stick, reboot

Select the stick as the boot media

“archinstall”

Configure

Done.

I don’t recommend it to first timers, because the install process does get you a good feel of what you’ll be expected to know, but I’ve been running arch for years I’m not doing that manually anymore xD
