I’m waiting for a phone to meet Graphene’s requirements that isn’t made by Google. Then I’ll switch. Hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Indeed. It’s like so many people have been trained to be asleep at the wheel.

Good

Lemmy is better anyway.

FBI is already hard at work finding no evidence.

The onus is put on me to protect my info and identity but it’s never my fault when these breaches happen. It’s always a third party or a govt org that drops the ball. It’s so frustrating.

“Mistakenly”. Bugs are the kind of things that can easily explain away intent to mess stuff up.

Well there ya go

They’ll regulate consumer drones and then start using them themselves I bet.

Always have been. It’s why no ICE agents are ever alone or in dangerous neighborhoods.

They absolutely are. The admin doesn’t care about them, their lives, or their livelihood. They will absolutely throw them all under the bus if it means they can avoid accountability. You saw it with what ended up happening to Bovino. Noem ran to Trump to save her skin so they rolled over on him as the leadership to blame for the killings. When consequences come around, and they will come around be it through the established justice system or mob justice (if the Trump admin keeps breaking the justice system), they will try to blame ICE lower leadership and all the foot soldiers for making the decisions as a defense.

They were never going to see that full bonus money. If they thought they were, they were stupid and woefully unequipped at dealing cons and narcissists.

Don’t have to force surveillance on people. They’ll literally pay money for it.

I’ll do it. Then we can have 18 clones.

Same. Now I’m an adult who refuses to be constrained.

Dingdong. Sorry. I had to.

You got most of the direct questions answered so this is just my 2 cents: I strongly recommend you do a back up of your important files on a separate physical medium first as iCloud is going to be a bit of a barrier on Linux. Then lengthen your timeline of getting away from Mac purely to facilitate learning. Look into something like Ubuntu (Fedora and OpenSUSE aren’t the best choice for beginners) as your starting distro to learn about Linux while keeping Mac around in some capacity to do the things you haven’t migrated over yet. Elementary OS might be an option to look at for that Mac feel but it’s purely surface level.

Then phase out Mac overtime as you become more comfortable with how Linux works with what your use case. Eventually you’ll determine what might be an even better distro for your use case and may switch into something that serves you better. You won’t find a perfect 1 to 1 alternative that will meet all your needs exactly as you want them met out of the box. So a period of learning is recommended to figure out how you’d like things to work and how to go about it.

“We’re in”

Felt like reading a bad Mr. Robot fanfic episode.
