I wasnt specifically referring to you I said yall (the mod team), you made it about yourself to derail my argument

Moving to a shitlib instance is a sign of a mod team that does not care about its community, in addition yall talk about “tankies” yet you think you own your community (you do not, no mods do)

No hornyposting, also sex isnt real, basically 196 but Ace :3 (and even more leftist)

Also 19864 was originally a subreddit that I used to be very active in and I just wanted it here (the rest is accurate)

To be fair onehundrednintysix exists because the 196 mods are a bunch of shitlibs, also 19864 exists because tbh I thought it was funny and I still do (also its more left wing)

I use GraphineOS on my Pixel 7 and even I feel penalized for caring about my privacy. Its absolutely nonsense, not everything needs an app.

If you want a full control over any device, you are gonna get the best experience flashing a custom firmware. But manufacturers don’t like it, they lose the telemetry data and revenue so they do their best to impede that.

Thats why I use a Thinkpad T440p with Libreboot, sadly some proprietary blobs are still present. Hopefully my next laptop will be completely open source and running on Risc-V.

AOSP is the way android phones should be sold I disagree, security is absolutely horrific. I use a pixel 7 with graphics and tbh for a phone the privacy downsides are well worth it for security. Sadly thats a compromise that must be made (at least until a phone brand can offer both security and privacy).

If Trump wants to be a king then he should be treated like a king >:3

Thats because is a SATA SSD

Correct :3

I remember telling my dad “Computers aren’t that hard. You just need to read what is the thing saying”

The problem is more and more systems these days won’t let you read what they’re saying, systems like ChromeOS, Android (AOSP is better but only if you’re a dev), IOS, IpadOS, MacOS, and Windows are going out of their way to hide “power user” features. At this point the only real choice of operating systems for people who want full control over their computer are Linux distributions.

My ssd is sda (with a sda1 boot partition and an encrypted root partition). I may be in Gen Z but I also have Autism, granted I didnt grow up with a lot of technology but I always squeezed every ounce out of them. When I was 13 I installed Linux, by 16 I already knew how to use a terminal (and manage the entire system with it), today I would say im relatively good at basic IT and basic network management (although im struggling greatly at installing coreboot).

Conclusion: Gen Z/Alpha probrally wont be great at computers but there will probrally be many individuals who will be significantly more advanced at computers. I was watching YouTube and a found a video of a 15 year old installing Arch manually in less than 10 minutes on a Chromebook. So tbh I wouldn’t be worried tbh (at least about this specifically).
