I have been using Hauk for ages. Not the most advanced or modern, but works like a charm! https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk

Seems like the worst part is not too bad, all things considered. All you need is half an hour patience with the fizzy drinks ;) Have to say, hate cycling on the cobbles, but love the look of them in the cities! Also, cobbles generally force cars to slow down indeed.

I am still hesitant to try since i am not clear how much storage i currently use on smugmug...

Graphene runs on Google hardware... So deapite getting rid of google, you will unfortunately still have to hand them a load of money.

As far as what device to pick... https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support

I used to use a pixel 7, recently upgraded to a 9. In the EU on vodafone no issues with anything. Also not when travelling outside of europe.

I am a wearer of (regular prescription) glasses. The closest I get to "smart" glasses is my XReal, which is not much more than fancy head mounted display. Which is exactly where I see the added value. The creepy concept of an always present AI, camera's constantly online etc terrifies me. No one needs this. Plus, what do they expect, all people with clear vision to now start wearing this facebook commercial constantly? I truly hope this never leaves the gimmick-level it deserves and dies a quick and painful death.

22 years, been married for ~18 by now... Married twice, to the same woman, first time for the paperwork (that was called a Registered partnership, legally the same as marriage, with a slight difference in the type of "contract"), second time (actual marriage) for the party. Second wedding was 15 years ago

Earlier this year I did a trial run again with a Linux phone and functionality is, at least for me, still too limited for it to be a viable replacement. Tried the JollaPhone with Sailfish for about a month, I really wanted it to work. Gave it up since at some point it simply was costing me a lot of productive time just to keep up with things.

Hahah i never moved on.. It works and does its job...

Extremely simple, but I still do not get why this is not implemented by default. alias open='xdg-open'

Been using it for years on grapheneos. Runs afaik via https only, super lightweight clientside
