Good luck getting grandma to install and use Graphene or Lineage on their 3 year old underpowered Samsung device that already works the way they know.

I think you’re making problems where there aren’t any. A device PIN or fingerprint along with Signal is probably way more secure than any family chat needs to be.

I imagine that most people’s families will find Singal easier than using a CLI program anyway. It’s rare to find an entire family without typical cellphones.

Signal is perfectly good under normal usage. Everything is unintuitive when it comes to extremes like losing your device.

This Grav?

I moved all of my domains to Porkbun when Google Domains started to close down or become SquareSpace or whatever they were doing.

No complaints so far.

Sorry for off-topic, but why do your comments end in a license link?

VPS hosting coparison if all you care about is crypto support.

Enshittification continues as usual.

I’ve been laid off twice in the last 5 years, so I get it. I make less money now than I did in 2018, but my job is a lot more enjoyable now.

Good luck getting to the point of buying a house! I hope it’s not as tough as you think.

I never said I was close to the norm, I said I’m quite well off now. I started with very little and got to this point in around 20 years of work.

Yeah, I’m doing ok, but when I first started working I was earning about $20k per year. It’s amazing how much things can change.

I live near San Francisco.

As a person who started out poor and has reached the point of being pretty well-off I can say that $10k would have been life-changing in my early 20s, useful in my early 30s, and not even 2 months of mortgage payments in my late thirties.

I’m not saying that’ll be true for everyone, but it can happen. My internal scale of what is expensive versus cheap has changed dramatically over the years.

I wouldn’t spend $10k on a hotel room or a bottle of wine, but it wouldn’t change my life any more.

It’s a fucking shame that the system is rigged against normal people.
