agree, “unbelievable” or “insane” are better, I am not an english native speaker :)

I’m French and remember in the 70s/80s even 90s we never had 30+°C in fucking May. Now we have 35+ for days, multiple times a year, it’s incredible.

I’m one of those temporary consultant in software development. Working from home 100% since COVID.

I do about the same, something like rsync -av --delete

Haha nice try, if you are Canadian you see this in the news at each election. A simple search will show you all the info you want.

It’s even documented in wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_government_interference_in_the_2019_and_2021_Canadian_federal_elections

and even on official Canadian election site https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=abo&dir=comp%2Fmar0223&document=p2&lang=e

Do not forget China, they are highly trying to mess with Canadian election too.

All those alternatives are Android, but mainly degoogled, lots are pretty good, I like CrDroid on my Poco F3, this is a very nice ROM, Graphene, Lineage, etc are all fine.

Main problem is mainly a lot of banking apps will not work, oh yes you can install Magisk, SuperSU, Zygist, SusFS, keybox, Mask Integrity, Autofix, TEE hacking, spoof a lot of things, etc and BANG! your bank app or Google Wallet will work and you can tap to pay with NFC! It will work 2 or 3 weeks until a google update/bank app update, and you re-spend countless hours on XDA or Telegram to find how to fix this. Until next time.

If you don’t tap-to-pay or your bank app does not mind running on an insecure OS, everything else is perfect in all those ROMs, pick one.

If you want a real alternative, you have the Apple world but you already made the mistake before 😜, or Ubuntu Touch maybe.

Try to get a miniPC on eBay, a beelink for instance in this price range, but obviously a ssd/nvme upgrade could be needed if you are out of space.

Does not work here

Without the US? How the North American Treaty Organization exists without US?

wow shit I was expected some bad B serie shitty movie/CGI like MCU, but the trailer is really good, I’ll watch this movie for sure! I played SF so much in arcade and PC

reminds me of one I took in Paris

I bough a box of 100 Zeiss wipes in walmart, I like them, it’s pretty cheap.

oh god yes because I even used djgpp in DOS in the 90s

Of course!!! Back in the 90s, under DOS, we had something called Norton Utilities, there was some disk explorer and things like this, and a utility called Norton Commander, nc.exe, the double panel, blue on blue, easy to copy, move, explore zip as folder, etc. I used it a lot in the DOS day.

Then Microsoft Windows 3 came and a guy (iirc a Switzerland guy named Ghisler, I know it because when I want to go it, I go to ghisler.ch) wrote a NC clone in Delphi and named it Windows Commander, with the same double panel and shortcut and all, F5, F6, F7, Ctrl-U, etc. He ported it to W95 then NT then then then and at one time Microsoft told him to rename it, so it became Total Commander.

So I used NC in DOS for maybe 7 or 8 years and I’m using it in Windows for more than 30 years. I almost don’t know how to use the Windows Explorer to copy/move/explore archive etc, After 30 years of using a utility to navigate your HDD and manipulate files, it is a second nature.

PS: yes I have a license since early 2000.

PPS: Double Commander in Linux is almost a 100% clone.

Yes, this is why I am always admin on my Windows laptop from work, it’s a requisite for me.

I’m old, so tons of them… mainly SF, fantasy, etc. all the LOTR (extended), Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, BTTF, etc. Dances With Wolves (the extended version)

a good trilogy too: Once upon a time in the West, Duck, You Sucker!, Once upon a time in America.

Seriously tons of movies from 2000 and less. Also dozens and dozens of French movies (native language) I have watched multiple times.

I never watched a MCU movie for instance. Since LOTR trilogy I basically stopped watching new movies, nothing beats them.

LOL they are bringing back the WMD again, it worked before, why wouldn’t it now?

Don’t remember, a 205 maybe (manual 4 speed)

I played with FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD etc 25 years ago, but I am using Linux distro since early 00s, and now it is so easy to install/setup compared to the 00s!!!
