Every time I update my flatpak apps I get a warning about deprecated libraries. I don't think flatpak is the issue but rather apps being able to not update really old libraries that could have security patches available. Does anyone know of a way to force these old libraries to update?

I went that route with an unlocked ASUS zenfone and it turns out that phone is impossible to replace the screen on because replacement parts are not available where I live. I had to buy a new phone without a headphone jack. Check for parts availability before buying something from a smaller brand.

So why not just use the van? At least the cargo space is covered from the elements. Most people who drove these yank tanks don't actually need the truck part.

One is a truck made for actual work and the other is an abomination pretending to be a truck.

To be fair, lighting is the most important part of generating photorealistic graphics. Having realistic and real-time lighting makes it look so much more realistic

I use a mokapot, but I also run fedora on my laptop. What does that make me?

Its quite common around here to see height restrictions signed in mm. For example a car park entrance might have a sign labeled 1800mm max height

This is exactly where I'm coming from.

I personally don't believe in copyright. Nobody should be able to own an idea or data and be able to tell me what i can and cannot do with said 1s and 0s, which is what digital media is. I will find other ways to support artists and creators like going to concerts, donating or buying merchandise etc... You can't steal data because nobody owns it to begin with in my view.

Anything confidential should be kept encrypted or offline of course.

AirVPN still has port forwarding. They are run by a non profit activist group and you can use it without their app. Works with openvpn and wireguard natively.

To be fair, the calculator on my phone has a built in currency converter and would need network access to get the exchange rates

That took a twist at the end
