This could lead to more devices being waterproof xD

We don’t even have to find new reasons for people to switch to Linux, Microsoft does all the work on its own.

I honestly think deleting personal social media accounts regularly would be a great privacy measure, as I don’t think most people (myself included) have any clue how much they are identifiable because of their social media activity.

From how they’re presenting themselves on their website, I would also guess their payment methods aren’t private /anonymous at all. It seems like you could even be forced to use the Apple/Google integration to pay for your subscription (which just means you can’t really pay privately).

Also, VPNs that have own apps and don’t allow access via OpenVPN are a red flag. You don’t know what their apps are doing and they don’t give you any reason to trust them either.

No, but as far as I can tell, it’s a private company in the US (which is pretty bad for a VPN). Also, all of its features are closed-source. The encryption seems to be closed source. That should make you question their motives and integrity. And trust them not much more than Google or Facebook. For everything not privacy related, as their virtual cards and in a sense also phone numbers and email addresses (those could be private, but not using this service), this service seems fine.

Or you update your uBlock Origin blocklists and declare YouTube the war.

There is Axolotl or Wayland, as far as I know.

German; but close enough.

Yeah, the problem there is that Lenovo seems to release new Duets without changing the name so it’s kind of difficult to choose a device.

FYI There are also open source discord clients available:

  • Discordo is a nice CLI to use Discord
  • ArmCord: Full Open Source Discord client with themes, etc.
  • gtkcord4 & gtkcord 3: Both are simple GTK Clients for Discord

Third party clients are against Discord’s terms of service, so use at your own risk.

That sounds great! Could you tell me how you like the stylus and what’s battery life like? I’m also a bit curious of how big/clunky it feels compared to a real tablet, because the 14" screen is kind of keeping me away from it (I’m leaning towards the IdeaPad Duet 5 at the moment, which is comparably weak in performance for the same price, but has a detachable keyboard which would be more suited for school).

Looks like a nice device, unfortunately not at all under 700€
