I consider price and technical specifications. I don’t have 200€ to spend on a phone. Most phones I bought were less than 100€ new. What I care about a phone is that it supports two SIM cards.

With such constraints, choice is quite limited unfortunately.

Is it worth having a free device? Indeed. Is it worth spending 4 times the price just for that? Not to me.

As long as your phone model is supported by any custom mod. I have checked compatibility for almost all smartphones I owned, some 7 or 8 through the years.

Not a single one of them was ever supported by a custom mod.

Lemmy is not a good source of information. But it is a decent place to talk about stuff and laugh it off with memes.

I like to have a separate partition for /home Whatever happens I can wipe root safely and install something else.

Thank you for the kind explanation, I did not know about this. I’ll look into it, you never know when something may become useful!

What is ubiquity equipment?

They’d come up in large groups of 20-50 monkeys and attack a few houses. They’d surround the house, sit on high ground and start causing chaos by jumping everywhere. Their objective was to be able to enter the houses and grab whatever they could. The strategy was to lock everything down so they could not enter. Regular window glass would not work as they’d smash through that. You needed small enough metal bars. Once everything was locked down, and in the meantime you likely had to throw some of them out of the house, you’d need to go out with a stick and send them away. If you didn’t do that, they’d smash everything you had outside. Being outside with a stick was very very scary. They’d stay away from the stick, but you’d have monkeys jumping everywhere around you and trying to hit you in the back. You’d need a few people to be able to send them away.

Same, never saw either a server or a desktop running alpine.

For sure I wouldn’t use Google to ping Google.

I had fights with monkeys before. They stormed our house several times. They are scary and organised.

UN exists for that purpose, NATO does not exist for that purpose.

Tbf I don’t remember many occasions in which people were complaining because NATO should have entered a conflict to stop a genocide.

Serbia never attacked the US either.

Vista is the reason I started using Linux.

You reckon people in Iran are not sad that Khamenei has been killed and that almost nobody in Iran is mad at the US?

What do you mean? The US military had to make plans for an attack. An attack of this scale is not organised one day to the other.

they didn’t plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz

They probably did not, so what? Does that take away that they planned the attack? Does that take away that Trump was likely advised on the matter? Does that imply that the only reason why the US attacked Iran is to take away attention from the Epstein files?

Food is very cheap and available everywhere. Clothing is basically free, and clothes are now easily high quality.

his and 90% of people’s material conditions are shit

Other people is richer than you does not mean your conditions are bad.

That is true if they go to Italy after retirement age or very sick. Otherwise they’ll be working in Italy as well and be paying taxes in the country.

The headline conveys a different message. He made a statement in a public occasion.

He stated that these countries may have interest in joining the war, and that he’d be happy if they did.

He did not plead the UK: pleading the UK would be calling their prime minister and asking them what they want to join the war. As far as I understood there has been no contact with UK officials to talk about this.

I’m afraid you are misunderstanding: I have no sympathy for Trump.

Open your mind, around the world there’s a bit more than just republicans and democrats.

Your statement implies that trump has ever had a non-self-interested reason for doing anything.

Yes.

Someone who believes that cannot be reasoned with.

I’m afraid you’re living in a bubble. This is not a good stance when talking with people. If you know better than I do, you can explain.

Saying that Trump never did anything but for his own interest is an oversimplification which I could only attribute to the strong polarization of opinions in the US. However, I don’t know much about this and I may be wrong on whether it comes from polarization or some other cause.

He was after all elected twice as president, some people even tried to topple the government when he lost the elections. He clearly did something those people liked.
