I recently discovered that GrapheneOS users can use Curve Pay for mobile NFC payments in the EEA

Believing all the cryptocurrency ecosystem is a scam is just a big indicator that you know nothing about it

The main thing is to have a trustless currency that is decentralized (can’t be easily censored), and that isn’t owned nor controlled by some centralized organization (ex: a country). Its uses are best seen in countries where the government goes bankrupt or fucked up the currency by printing a lot of it, or for currencies that no other country trust

It will be niche and useless to most people, but it’s a verifiable way to check money is not being tampered with. It’s also the best way to transact online anonymously or pseudonymously, and not relying on a company that’s trying to make as much money as possible

Due to the way some cryptos are, they became a speculative investment. The fact that they’re not well known increases this use. Some cryptocurrencies are designed to be inflationary. Some are straight up pump and dump scams, like a lot of things. There will be assholes everywhere

/e/OS is also a fork of LineageOS

alright, thanks for the recommendation

iodéOS

How does it compare to /e/OS?

I was considering it but was afraid it would be slow

Does it still seem okay?

I ruled out the google tablet due to it being too expensive with an LCD screen

I didn’t want it, but after looking at the market, I realize it’s not that bad for the price range and for my requirements. It might sadly be the only final answer

I’m also considering the Xiaomi Pad 5 with /e/OS

I care a bit less about security, no one will have direct access to the hardware except me, and there won’t be anything sensitive on it. Security updates are still important because… it would be nice not to get the entire OS fucked and joining a botnet

I don’t want to bother too much, and yea sadly I don’t care much about OS features as long as I can flash some custom OS or something. Even AOSP might do the trick because I probably won’t install proprietary stuff. Why can’t manufacturers sell tablets with a good screen and speaker, without cameras or annoying useless BS?

Considering your use case u might be able to get a standalone display and put it in a custom 3d printed case with a raspberry pi and battery. I believe their are some similar projects online that are worth checking out.

Seems interesting if well made but I would probably prefer some Android device

How do you do with Play Services? Did you install the proprietary stuff or installed MicroG (or just don’t run GPServices at all)? is it easy?

I was also worried a bit about the updates. They seem to take time and most of the stuff is community releases only. Coming from GrapheneOS, so that shocks me a bit

It causes cancer so how good is it really

What is grass and why should I touch it?

Is it good? Haven’t watched it yet

It doesn’t make sense biologically

I don’t get distro hopping

There are better uses for your time

But hey, do as you want

Help step bro I’m stuck

damn, it sucks

Do you use a VPN or something? Sometimes it can block local devices or crash drivers for some reason

Nice

Never played any FF

To the moon 🙂‍↕️ but not much

You spoiled us

Is it because of the game then?

isn’t it an issue with flatpaks requiring some permissions that aren’t enabled by default

You should try using Flatseal https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal to check the permissions
