I’ve only ever heard of this Holy Trinity, which replaces the carrots with peppers.

I find it doubtful and regret using it. It showed me a bunch of people I already follow, and proposed that I follow them. I’m expecting to get some spam now :/

It’s not in FDroid :(

I almost got killed driving the Gary, IN years ago. I still remember it well to this day.

I have a Vivlio, a French ebook reader, and I’m quite happy with it. I have a Kindle Paperwhite too for Amazon purchased books, but mainly use the Vivlio. I’m not sure if it’s available in the States, or even outside of France.

It’s a French collective for alternative, transparent, open, neutral and solidary hosters, launched by Framasoft who ended up hosting a bunch of tools that they actually wanted others to host themselves.

I recently discovered Monocles.eu, they are a privacy respecting email, chat (Matrix?), drive (Nextcloud?), social (Mastodon) and translator platform. I’m still forming my opinion, but they look good. In France, there’s also the Chatons who propose local alternative hosting of many common services, such as Nextcloud, Mastodon, Matrix, Mattermost, VaultWarden, etc.

I recently made a cabbage, carrot curry that came out very well. Sorry, I don’t have a recipe, but just used some curry paste and yogurt and it was yummy.

I’ve been using LineageOS for a couple of years on a Xiaomi Mix 2. I once had a playback error with Deezer (French Spotify competition), which was fixed rather quickly. The team was reactive and had great communication about it. There are regular updates and everything works great. I psyched that my phone now has Android 14 and not 9, which is what Xiaomi left me at…

Great to hear that it worked :D It is a very common error condition.

if you type exit, it should re-enter initramfs with the exact error, probably a disk error. If so, it will tell you to run fsck on a specific disk.

Clojure could be fascinating for you to learn. It is a different type of language from more common industry standards, but it still has a good adoption and is used by many companies. Clojure for the Brave and True is commonly recommended as a starting point. The Land of Lisp is excellent as well.

It works as well as the other corporate offerings. It does depend a bit on who’s hosting it.
