Like the other person said, beta software is expected to go through pretty large design changes. It's not a matter of "forcing it on the user" it's a matter of "my software isn't ready yet, I'm not certain what my vision is, and if you're not willing to put up with me figuring out what I want out of this software then wait for it to release and I'll keep it stable from there"

Ran into a similar but slightly different debate the other day, about self-defeatism. Had to explain that non-violent showings of force (protests, words, legislation etc) do work for both sides.
This has always been a strange thing for me. All of my peers starting getting spam calls around middle/high school, but I never did. To this day, I hardly get any spam calls. And when I say hardly, I mean like... I genuinely think the total number of spam calls I've gotten since turning 18 is less than 50 at most.
So, I leave my voicemail on. Because I know that damn near every time I get a voicemail, I know why I got it. I know that person/company and they're calling me because I asked them to
Out of curiosity, do you get many spam calls?
No human has ever used it
TIL I'm not human. I wonder what path life has taken you that you've never been thankful for a voicemail. Granted, I'm annoyed by them more often, but I've definitely had a few good voicemails
Decentralization
I don't see Linux phones being viable for the average person for a long time
Which is really so sad isn't it? The whole thing is so modular it would really just take one dev team a few months to at least get the ball rolling if they had the investment but... It's just not instantly profitable enough for anyone to bother putting the initial money in
Yeah, this is gonna be my next move I think. I was using Proton VPN for a while and just recently started migrating my emails there, then they started doing all of this.
I wanted to self host my email anyway, but now I have no excuse. I've been burned by the last team I expected it to come from, I'll be self-reliant now
Saved. Will be swapping to Graphene as soon as I get a new phone, and that work/personal thing is about to be a life saver for all these garbage apps I'm forced to have installed
Fridge: You're not gonna like my answer lol
Maybe you're just making a lot of money (as would be expected in you're an American living in Albania)?
No no, the cost of living is nothing. A quick google search shows the average cost of living is only around $945 a month!!
Please, just don't go figure out what their average pay is. I promise that doesn't factor into this equation, and it's totally more than half of their cost of living lol
From a quick glance, my only issue with this is that it keeps telling me to be introspective and if I'm introspective enough I have to actually acknowledge my gender identity and that sounds awful.
On a more serious note, I skimmed this link and it does seem to be a relatively good "guide" on transitioning. Transitioning is a very individual thing, it's gonna be vastly different for each and everyone. I noticed lots of general advice about "knowing yourself" and "using support groups around you" and whatnot, which is basically exactly the advice I've given and heard a lot. You're gonna need to figure out who you are, what you want, and why. You don't ever need to tell anyone the why. In fact, if someone asks for the why, be suspicious of them. But you should know why you are the way you are just for the sake of maintaining your ability to grow.
