To add to that, terms like Bronze age refer to different times in different locations depending on when bronze began being used. It would refer to an earlier time in the near East than it would in Scandinavia(3300 BC vs 1700 BC). It is not as relevant in the Americas as metallurgy didn't even appear to exist in pre-Columbian North America. There was some minor use of bronze in certain South American cultures but it doesn't seem to have been extensive enough to define a time period.
I don't really see the benefit in this. You can install LineageOS without gapps and MicroG already distributes a fork of LineageOS that includes MicroG. If you want full control of your device you will likely be better off going with something like Librem 5 from Purism.
/e/ is LineageOS + MicroG already. Seems like a LineageOS downstream distro with bunch of defaults and some Cloud stuff (can be self-hosted) and an Appstore other than FDroid. Oh and they’ll sell you preflashed phones.
So basically AOSP for less technical people interested in privacy. Seems harmless so far.
The alternate app store with a focus on privacy could be a big plus, depending on how broad of a selection it ends up providing. Neither Google Play nor Amazon Appstore respect your privacy at all. F-Droid is great for open source software, but has some big holes (Signal is an obvious one), and side-loading isn't the best option for security reasons (no automatic updates). I have no problem with proprietary software, or with paying for it, if I had reasonable guarantees that it wasn't spyware, and didn't require installing spyware to obtain and stay up-to-date.
Edit: getting downvoted so for clarity this is the part of your comment I'm referring to: MicroG already distributes a fork of LineageOS that includes MicroG
They have LineageOS builds with MicroG integrated that are technically a fork, mostly because they add permission API to spoof Google apps, that got rejected upstream. Also they ship with two location backends (Mozilla and Nominatim), though disabled by default, and FDroid comes preinstalled as a system app.
There is also https://grapheneos.org but I haven't tried it myself yet; I have spoken with the author a few times and it looks like an interesting project.
Go! and Go are two different languages. Read the last section of the wikipedia page for Go! listed above for their objections against Google for picking that name.
Quitting caffeine is as easy as a few days, maybe a week of feeling like shit. Take an aspirin or two, and move on with your life.
Quitting nicotine is a fucking struggle.
It doesn't kill you, but it has negative impacts on your life, when you aren't using. Addicts become really shitty to be around, when they haven't had their hit for a few hours.
What exactly is the public benefit to getting children addicted to a substance that is incredibly difficult to kick?
Menthol competes for the same enzyme that breaks down nicotine, keeping nicotine active longer. It is also a moderately strong kappa-opioid receptor agonist: vaping too strong menthol liquid can induce extreme dysphoria, anxiety and panic attacks.
You are aware that the money collected by the tariffs was extracted from American pockets, right, not Chinese? So you are describing a tax and transfer program: Americans who buy Chinese goods are taxed to compensate Americans who are losing income due to the trade war with China.
> In its annual reports, TI wraps calculator revenue into a larger category (“Other”), which includes additional products. Since 2014, this category has seen a 35% decline, from $2.2B to $1.4B.
But didn't mention the fact that "Other" accounts for only 3% of TI's revenue.
An arbitrary precision calculator language. It can be used as a scripting language or from an interactive shell. It is part of POSIX so you are running Linux you probably have it installed.
