Question is, what is its Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF)?

By breaking the play store version often. It was not possible for author to update it for several years. Seems it got better recently, but still, to have a full fledged version of Termux, you need to install it from a different source - f-droid, ideally.

So that’s why google is killing termux.

Well this is how the app states it. It resolves to this: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=0%3A00+GMT%2B8

Unfortunately not easy in my country - only for repeated warranty claims.

No, it’s the same minute every day, for everyone in the world. 0:00 GMT+8

They have already practically ended it. The official process makes the user jump through so many hoops - registering account, using it for 30 days (!!!), installing their app, begging for unlock through it, getting random errors which the official support refuses to explain (!!!) and only after that having the chance to try to hit the daily unlock request window which lasts less than one minute each day (!!!) - that it is practically non existent. Fuck the fucking fuckers.

These writeups never managed to to convince me me that I should not be able to modify any file on my device. If the system is not able to grant this access to me, and me only, while doing it securely, than it’s bad operating system, designed without my interests first on mind. I am absolutely sure that granting so-called “root access” can be done securely, as decades of almost-every-other-OS have shown.

Weeeell, there’s a school of though leaning towards the opinion that using VPS is still self-hosting ;)

In third panel those are the person’s arms ;)

I think this is the best answer. Separation of concerns and all. And OP can keep using whatever notes app he is right now or even switch to another, without the additional encryption requirement.

Yeah, no. Anything from google won’t be anything Big in my home.

I think they meant the “finance guy” insulted the whole “race” of “developers”, but otherwise they agree.

I love you.

Yea, the Bing chat (or what it was originally called) sometimes used to tell people to learn coding instead of asking it to generate code.

Yes, the classic “no” problem of YAML. But the addition of the comments is very nice.

1. Well, not really, not in any practical sense. It’s hard to customize it in a sense you can customize a linux distro or desktop environment, it’s hard to script things on Android, it’s hard to access filesystem etc. You have to do everything “android way”, not “Linux way” - the skills you may have from one platform are not transferable to the other.
2. Oh, let me tell you about that. I have an Xiaomi phone purchased about 2 months ago, based on supposedly unlockable bootloader… and I haven’t been able to successfully jump through all the hoops they put in the way of unlock in this whole time. Their support is completely useless, the community is full of people with same issues and no solutions and every unsuccessful attempt at unlock pushes the next one one day or two weeks (!) into the future. Fuck this shit. All I’m asking is ‘sudo’ on a “Linux” computer I bought.

You don’t have to use the same provider as me :) I’m sure proton mail has some offerings in this vein; other common choice is Tutanota or perhaps Startmail.

See for example this list https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-email

Except I would HATE 1. having the full computer use the Android OS (or ios) 2. Not having full access (administrative / root) rights on my computer, for some vague security handwaving.

Don’t try to host your own email server, at least not at the start. It’s really hard and the main issue is not technical - makn issue is fighting with big providers so they don’t refuse your mail.

Instead, use a professional mail provider allowing custom domains (I use mailbox.org). You can still keep using your domain for web / http access for other services you selfhost, you just point mail-related DNS records to the mail provider (they all have guides about how to do that).
