Basic neccesities (healthcare, including mental healthcare, nutrition, electricity, clothing, heating, water, communication, housing, transport, etc.) should be covered by default.

Then, less basic neccesities (like entertainment, fashion, safe drugs) could be profited from.

And while at that, I recomend regular Mint (which is based on Ubuntu).

There is Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), but I have found it harder to use (while I can manage, I’m not that experienced with Linux to bother to troubleshoot and solve it [at least at the time], but I think it was dependency, incompatibility, or driver issues).

Plus, the main Mint version is still the Ubuntu based one, LMDE is kinda a side project and usually isn’t as up-to-date, as far as I know.

Germany and being on the side of genocide, iconic duo.

Once I got all I can from it, my upgrade from A1 Mini is gonna be Prusa lol, should have aten the price difference at first.

If they were 100% ethical and secure with the data, one could truly say “Nothing to hide nothing to fear”.

But because we live in a world where they aren’t 100% ethical and secure with the data, we just can’t let ourselves have that mindset (not even in the hypothetical that they are 100% ethical and secure with the data).

How long until they target Proton or Mullvad…

For me, I’m not “cheering” for 100 dead people, but for the weakening of the agressor’s army. It sucks so much that it is by death, but that is war… war sucks and shouldn’t happen, but here we are.

With the amount of games published every day, they can’t. They should, but really can’t. Either they keep it this way, or review each and every game under the Sun to find malware before they get published.

Another option is VMware Workstation/Fusion now that it is free again, or Virtual Box by Oracle.

Oh, it is again? Thanks for letting me know! Edit: nvm an account is needed, bleh

That is what I did for a while. A Debian VM with 2 CPUs MD 8Gb of ram to start playing around with Docker before getting a Pi.

Will try this out, then, thank you for the advice! Since I got my PC on ethernet, but still got a network card with WiFi that I don’t really use for anything, I could set it up so the Wifi card acts as part of the VM as a different computer in the network, instead of having to configure the same connection both for my PC and the VM, right?

Sooo… do I just do with known email providers (proton, tuta, the webmail my domain provider allows me to have)?

Seems like email is the biggest issue to self host lol

So making sure all bugs are accounted for, and making suggestions/giving feedback to developers, thanks for the advice

Thank you! Got StreetComplete now and started contributing through it on my way home :b

Okay, wil lcheck for begginer contributions- I do use some apps from f-droid already, might donate once I do have spare cash flow, thanks for the advice :3

Okay, get practice with it even if it gets rejected, thanks for the advice

That makes sense, will bear it in mind, too. Not neccesarily need to contribute directly, but just being part of the community.

Thank you for the advice!

Okay, thank you for your experience and advice! Will keep eyes more open for bugs and stuff, and try to start small.

Okay, thank you for the advice! Definitely, if I’m gonna get into the codebase, I’m not gonna let AI do the work for me, if I wanted to I’d just straight up tell the maintainers to lol.

Already got the Github account, and know some basics, but I think I should learn further as I only know the basics (forking, making branches, uploading the modified code to my fork, and making pull requests, don’t even know to do these in detail so I guess I’ll look at more extensive Git and Github tutorials lol)
