Why shouldn't I use pic related?>been running for 18 years>no ads>basic IMAP/SMTP support (unlike ProtonMail), and decent webmail GUIinb4 based in US. I'm assuming that my emails will be collected no matter what. I just don't want them scanned for ads.Alternatives:>ProtonMail (running for just 4 years, mentioned before, no IMAP support b/c it's ALLEGEDLY e2e)>Posteo (ugly website imo, running for 8 years, shitty domain name to say verbally to English-speakers)Am I missing something?
>>107712089if you don't give a shit about people looking at your email just use gmail
>>107712089I'm removing all my previous mail accounts and since I still need a mail for a few basic things, I'm looking for a "private" provider. So far, the options I have are Protonmail and Tutanota, with 1GB of space for free. For more space the way to go seems to be Infomaniak (20GB), but I don't really like their public declarations regarding privacy.
I have been using it for about 5 years now and no complaints. I was able to find out that a scumbag company used my credit card to try and order an iphone from best buy by using the "masked email" feature which was cool. You won't see it here because it's not le anti-glowie turboencrypted offshore server schizomail.
*wheeze*AMDSISTERS HOW WILL WE EVER RECOVER?
>>107712238They don't even need collusion to form a cartel. All they need to do (which is literally what they already do) is not seriously undercut their competitor and both make bank.AMD has no interest in heavily undercutting Nvidia because they already sell all their stock, they wouldn't be able to meet demand if the prices were that much lower, and all they would do is force Nvidia to lower their prices (which they can easily do). This would only benefit the consumer, but wouldn't benefit either company. So why would they do it?AMD keeps selling ever so slightly lower than Nvidia, sells an insignificant amount of GPUs compared to Nvidia, both make as much bank as they can. That's it.This is how business works everywhere btw. You don't need backroom deals to have collusion and price fixing.

i always hear retards crying about muh resolution but all movies are 1080p on blu ray and every retard knows that bit rate is all that matters
>>107708323AI
>>107706543Yes but how can I enjoy a movie if I can't see the pores on the actors faces? How do mere mortals enjoy the stories and special effects without demanding every pixel be in 4k? /s
>>107708323Wonnie, the lead vocalist of IVE aka my wife.
>>107706543Okay, first things first. What does "resolution" mean?
I like my dell 1440p 27" but I probably should have gotten 1080p. There hasn't been any benefit to this weird in-between resolution and UI in games is always too small. 1080p is a lot nicer for practical use.
Mine's 3840x2160
>>1077125701440p is my new 1080p and I plan to keep using it for the next 15 years just like I used 1080p for 15 years or so.

What terminal file manager do anons use?I'm on Yazi but I'm looking to leave it because it's clunky and annoying.
>>107712905>>107693610...or you could use commands on files with fzf. Blazing fast. Instead of typing everything out, filter the list and press tab on the things, then the keybind that does the stuff you want to the things. It's less keystrokes than typing out 10 filepaths and faster to use than any fm. I've been trying to get an llm to spit out a wrapper script for xclip that allows me to copy and paste whatever I want, but xclip apparently has some problems that I'm not going to be able to get around until someone makes a better clipboard tool for x11. So, the ability to copy and paste images is my only remaining use case for a fm of any kind. Instead of typing out the filepath as an argument, I just press ctrl-f, opening fzf with all the files in the directory. I can still just type the path like I would otherwise, but now I have the opportunity to easily do file management tasks 'on the way' to do something else.
>>107693610>>107712905>>107713002I will also note that with autocd enabled, when you open the fzf-file-widget (my ctrl-f), you can just cd to the directories in the list by pressing enter.
>>107713021**assumine there's nothing else on the command line and you aren't trying to complete an argument or something.
cd, ls, mv ,cp ,rm
>>107713095I would also like to point out that fzf has a preview window that can be configured to show file metadata. Why type out so many commands when you can simply browse a list with up and down to get a clearer idea of what you are looking at? I understand everyone's despisal for file mangers, but there's nothing more efficient than fuzzy finding a string in a searchable list, where you already know the fewest chars to match the things you need most often.
Why is rechargeable battery advice always so inconsistent?>let your battery discharge every now and then>never let your battery hit 0%, always keep some charge in it>but don't charge it to full constantly>don't charge it frequently>don't let it go too long without being on a charger
>>107712118I charge my phone to 100% and let it drop to 0% before charging because phones are made for retards and 100% and 0% should already be physical spec 80% and 20% and if I'm wrong I don't care anyway, my phone is 7 years old and its battery still holds for 3 days unless I run some bing bing wahoo.
>>107711424Schizo tips to avoid their phone exploding.
>>107711424The BMS does all of this for you. You do not need to care. Just use your phone normally.
>>107711643I tend to let it discharge to very low levels if I do that as a typical day of usage consumes 75%
>>107711424Just replace it when it runs out, all of this is just pointless micromanaging.
If you use the GNU Image Manipulation Program, there is something wrong with you mentally.It is the only thing preventing me from using a Linux-based OS on a permanent basis. I need Photoshop to work and WINE is buggy as shit. The GIMP is a shit alternative.Prove me wrong. Why would anyone deliberately use this garbage?
>>107705654I think the reason for that is that Photopea is a Photoshop clone that tries to replicate its features and design. GIMP was never meant to be a Photoshop clone or even a true alternative. It's an image editor designed by programmers, and it shows. The UI is awful, some basic features were added in GIMP 3.0 that Photoshop has had for decades, and many are still missing. The type tool is still awful, and the lack of vector layers means that if you create a shape and later decide to make it bigger or change the stroke width or color, you need to recreate it.If you only use Photoshop for basic designs, you could replace it with GIMP, but everything is more convoluted.
>>107713011I have an AI plugin that makes vector shapes. I manually modified it so it does an outline on a checkbox https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21708I'm so hesitant to say I have AI plugins because then normies will assume I'm nothing but a vibe coder when that isn't true at all. Most of my GIMP plugins were made long before I touched AI. The first AI plugins came in April 2025. The first time I studied GEGL was June 2021
>>107713011Even without my plugins you can change the color and stroke wdith.For example gegl:color-overlay can change the color and gegl:styles (that I made) can adjust the outline.
>>107705635Try Krita, though it's for artists, not some wannabe.
>>107712546I see, that looks handy. I'll install it. I normally don't like massive bundles of plugins because they clutter the menus but this one in particular is very nice. When I did it by myself I think a mix of layer modes, masks and NDE effects were used>>107713103alsohttps://www.gimp.org/news/2025/09/01/gimp-3-1-4-released/#vector-layershttps://www.gimp.org/news/2025/11/17/gimp-3-2-RC1-released/#link-and-vector-layer-updateshttps://www.gimp.org/news/2025/12/15/gimp-3-2-RC2-released/#paths

>>107711828It has a removable SIM slot, so I could buy a prepaid SIM with cash but I'm trying to think of uses for that which aren't monstrous or criminal
>>107711855>making calls and taking pics is monstrous and criminaldo isissies really?
>>107696921I always wonder, is there something you're doing with all those phones or is it just for consumerism/fun? And most importantly, so far this gen which phone left you with the best impression?I got kind of bored of changing flagships every year, at some point the improvements are too minuscule to justify (at least for me).
>>107712260I just really like tech and in the past I had worked in the cellular industry, having worked at multiple carriers while I was in college so it just grew on me and I'm just really into it for fun. At the moment in my life I'm blessed by God where I can spend thousands of dollars on tech for a hobby and I couldn't be any happier honestly.
>>107712129These AI cameras are not just for speed, they can detect multiple types of infractions including shit like not using your turn signals when changing lanes, tailgating, or using a cell phone while driving
usecase of speeding instead of taking it slow, comfy, and easy like a civilized person?it has to be a subhuman gene thing
>>107708996But only through speeding, it doesn't prevent the immigrants who drive trucks from killing people because they are incompetent and never went through training
>>107708955>>107709032>>107709945>>107710119Great, I'm glad you agree that we need mandatory speed governors in every car in order to be certified as road legal.They don't even need to be "smart" ones with dynamic speed adjustment. Just take the highest legal speed in the jurisdiction, add 20% as a margin for emergency maneuvering, and help reduce the number of deaths from drunk drivers and medical emergencies. No recording where and when you are driving. No mass surveillance. Just the proven technology of "constrict the gas flow when the wheel is spinning too fast."
The fun part is that immigrants will remain unaffected. Most of them use those fake paper plates so will never receive the fine anyway.
Am I retarded or a genius? Gonna hook it up to an external monitor and unironically install Gentoo on it.

>>107709926I hate the keyboard layouts on these. Every key on a keyboard should be at least 1x1u. 0.5u wide keys are impossible to use.
>>107709926this exact mini laptop is quite terrible, the mouse buttons are literally just keyboard buttons and they use software on windows to emulate the mouse buttons (if anyone knows a non-janky way of turning keyboard buttons into mouse buttons on linux i kinda need that information)also the audio interface doesn't seem to have linux drivers, or at least i never managed to get sound on that thing, the keyboard is uncomfortable but that's expected, the touchscreen is unreliable and sometimes just stop working, it does not have type C charging which for a brand new device is quite unacceptable
Are phone VR sets good enough for gooning to VR porn or should I look into something more expensive?
>>107711307You want a Meta Quest 3.If you have money, buy a Pimax instead.
>>107711307For the bare minimum, I agree with >>107711312
>>107711312Quest 3 is too low res for it to be any good.Anything below 4k per eye is, and even 4k per eye is kinda shitty compared to our eyes ability
>>107711307If you have money, wait for the Steam Frame. It's basically a Steam Deck but a super comfy VR headset.If you have LOTS of money, get something like the Apple Vision Pro or Galaxy XR.
>>107711312Doesn't the Quest 3 require signing into a Facebook account to use it at all? I really don't want Zuck knowing what porn I'm watching.
are there any good attention grabbing laptops that aren't gaming ones? (as in not like the pic)I hate how drab and boring a lot of modern laptops are. It's like they're designed for people who are anti-social.
>>107708093lmao wtf
Thinkpad P series with some "I HECKIN LOVE SCIENCE" NASA larp type stickers
Laptops are a tool. They are usually designed to fit their intended purpose which most of the time doesn't include "attention grabbing".I'd advise you to buy some colourful stickers if you think they're boring
