Laptops are not generally designed to run like that with a closed lid. Heat dissipation is designed around the idea the laptop is open and some of it is through the keyboard surface. The lid closed would change that.
Systems can of course be setup to power off the display but for server/service uses open laptops may not be efficient space wise.
Having said that if the scenario is low power use the heat dissipation may not be a major issue. But if there is an unremovable battery i'd still be concerned about heat dissipation with the lid closed and even just the battery itself regardless of heat dissipiation.
…but here are some options from a foreign-policy standpoint as laid out by The Atlantic. Seems a reasonable summary to me.
What it completely leaves out is that this is a direct violation of the War Powers Act, the UN Charter (to which the US is signatory), and even the National Security Act. I guess that’s not important anymore.
Correctly, there are calls for impeachment tonight from outside and within Congress. I suggest you write whoever you’ve got up there to do the same. But I do not expect it to go anywhere; I am absolutely confident the MAGAts will find a way to justify their 100% spin on the “peace president” and why bombing Iran – an absolute act of war – is just fine and all the more reason to worship their shit-stain incarnate God Emperor.
I’ve got a short essay going up tomorrow morning at 7:48am. If you know why 7:48am on Sunday is an important time, you’ll probably have some idea what it’s about. You’re probably not completely right – but you’re quite certainly not really wrong, either.
For the rest of you?
It’s about infamy.

Well, fuck. Now I guess we get to find out. Bee sure to tune in at 2200 Eastern for whatever rambling mess Trump is going to spout off.
I hate weekends.
Donald Trump announced Saturday that the US had completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, directly joining Israel ’s effort to destroy the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump said in a post on social media. “All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.”
Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he added.
The White House alerted television networks that Trump would address the nation at 10 p.m. EDT.

Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is so involved in every aspect of the Trump administration’s efforts to radically reconfigure American democracy that congressional aides have reportedly begun complaining about his incessant phone calls.
Ignoring the fact that his “outreach wasn’t always welcome,” Miller would call congressional aides for lengthy, aimless conversations about illegal immigration that contained no specific requests, according to a damning new Wall Street Journal report.
One aide likened Miller to a “grandmother who wouldn’t stop talking,” and compared his phone calls to podcasts. Other aides said that Miller would call to scold them about how they had worded something in a press release or framed an issue in a social media post.
A new report details just how far Miller’s reach is in the Trump administration.Catherine Bouris (The Daily Beast)

Title mostly says it all. Preview is unironically an incredible piece of software. Between feature set and ease of use, I have yet to come across any FOSS that is comparable. Anyone know of a Linux alternative?
EDIT: Due to popular demand I should explain Preview more. It’s a “fully fledged” PDF editor, but somehow it’s completely different from something like Adobe Acrobat. The way most users will interact with it is as a seemingly very plain image viewer, but if you open a PDF you can add fillable boxes, rearrange pages, split and merge PDFs, etc. I cannot place exactly why it’s workflows feel so much better than something like Acrobat.
I’m already running Linux. I’m looking for an application that can run on Linux that roughly matches the feature set of MacOS Preview for image and PDF viewing and basic editing.

Donald Trump posted a laundry list of reasons why he believes that he should get a Nobel Peace Prize.
In a Truth Social post, the president celebrated that he was “very happy” to report on a series of deals and agreements to end global conflicts that he “won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for.” The post came on the heels of Pakistan’s announcement that they plan to nominate him for the 2026 award, _The Hill _reported.

Has it ever crossed anyone's mind, that those of that didn't vote, was usually because we didn't approve of either candidate?
I never approved of orange baby, plain and simple.
Kamala was cool though, looking to help people and not deceive them, and I just might have voted for her.
But even though I have no problem with a female president, she would have too many world stage problems with countries and groups that don't respect women at all.
So, seeing both as a risk, why would I have voted for either? Like, why did Pete Buttiguieg drop out?
That's the real question, what forces in play made my dude Pete drop out? I sure as hell would have voted for him!
What a wonderful response, objecting against someone that would have actually voted if Pete would have stayed in the running.
I may not have voted, but I know for a fact I would never vote for the diaper.
Like, why is it always a heads/tails coin decision?
And what the fuck is up with the Electoral College?
I may not have voted, but I know for a fact I would never vote for the diaper.
By not voting at all, you cemented Trump's victory.
You don't get to say "well I wanted it to be different" now.
Do better next time. Do something next time.
What skin would it have taken for you to just pull the lever for kamala?
Maybe youre saving it for "the one"
You gotta get in the building first. Back in 2016, me and a friend went to vote. I would have voted Vermin Supreme (legit candidate no less), and my buddy planned on writing in Batman.
We stood in line for around 2 hours. For about the last half hour of waiting it was raining. Around half of everyone knew the weather forecast and had an umbrella, including us.
They closed the voting place (library) down at 8pm sharp, and the cops told everyone in line to go home. We were probably 150~200 people back in line.
We all waited that long, even in the fucking rain, only to be ordered to leave?!
If it matters (which it probably does), our state doesn't have early voting, you get one day to do it and that's it.
Wait 2 goddamn hours, partly in the rain, only to get shut down with around 200 people or so waiting to vote?!
Sooo.. I've never had a chance to see the inside of a voting facility. Not for lack of trying though.
Sooo.. I've never had a chance to see the inside of a voting facility. Not for lack of trying though.
Is that what happened in 2024 as well?
"I didn't like either, so I did nothing" is such a bullshit excuse...
Like it or not, we have a two party system and this was the worst possible time for anyone to decide to do nothing. Non-voters are just as complicit in what's going on now because they chose to do fuck all when it actually mattered... I hope the righteous objection through inaction was worth it, because people are dying as a result now.
Read my other comment, I tried in 2016, definitely wasn't going to vote for orange. I never got to see the inside of the voting place.
After waiting around 2 hours, they shut down and cops ordered everyone remaining in line to leave at 8pm. There were probably around 200 people outside still waiting to vote..

You tried once, so you said fuck it this time...
You know mail-in, absentee, and provisional ballots are a thing, right?
Also, if you're in line to vote and the polling place is set to close, you still have the right to cast your ballot, no matter how long it takes. They can turn new people away, but they can't just close up and send people home if they've been waiting. If you were told to leave, those cops violated the law. And if they absolutely had to close, they're required to give out provisional ballots. Know your rights dude.
Okay, good to know. Maybe I can sue the library and the cops and get to cast my 2016 vote, wouldn't that be fucking nice if there was a time machine?
Like I said, we were in a line of probably around 200 people, and we were probably in place about 150 back towards the end of the line.
Everyone else ahead of us followed the orders first and left for their vehicles, we were towards the back of the line and were amongst the last to find out they closed as the cops ordered everyone to leave.
What the fuck you expect me to do, run around the block to get to the library door and beat on it? Get tackled and shot by cops?
You think I'm fucking stupid? If the 150 people ahead of me are complying with the cops, you think I'm gonna be the idiot to catch a bullet?
I don't care. You did this.
Drag every dumb American leftist that was here during the election claiming this exact thing, or that Harris' support of Israel was too much and Trump wouldn't do the same. Collaborationists one and all. May as well have given the order today.
You live with that now. And as it continues to get worse I sure hope someone in your life slaps the self-serving excuses right out of you so it dawns on you, because you will have to stew in this the rest of your life.
You are the enemy, just as much as the average noncommital fascist was in the mid-20th century. You are a cautionary tale for some kid studying history in a century, assuming we get to have kids studying history in a century despite your best attempts.
Oh, no, you're not.
You're a speck of the nameless hordes in a rogue superpower. A collaborationist in a fascist nuclear state.
You have zero relevance as an individual. You are, fundamentally, just a small part of a big problem.
I have no obligation to care about your "individuality". I care about your victims. Which exist. You have real, human victims now. And I really hope if you're being honest about your self-righteous denials throughout this thread, that it at least triggers some self-awareness about that.
Has it ever crossed anyone's mind, that those of that didn't vote, was usually because we didn't approve of either candidate?
Christ, do they not teach the trolley problem anymore?
"Has it ever crossed anyone's mind that I didn't want the 5 guys on the main track or the 1 guy on the side track to die?"
Duh. That's the point. You act and feel guilty about a small bad thing, or do nothing and feel guilty and a big bad thing. We got the big bad ending, feel guilty.
That theory works great in hindsight, but before the election the orange turd was promising to stop wars, not start them.
Sure we all know he's a liar now, but before the election, going on their campaigns, how could anyone be sure which track would actually have more bodies in the future in that Trolley Problem.
You can't predict the future, so that's like presenting the Trolley Problem as if the switch is 10 miles before the tracks split.

So for Friday night, myself and my friends got rather board.
And as the resident "Things collector" i got 2 Maxtor touch sense 2 external hardrives. However those who were alive in 2000's know Maxtor went bankrupt and haven't made hardrives for a very long time.
One of these drive i got BRAND NEW, in box at a flea market. sadly time got to the platters first, i spent a few hours trying to reformat or partition them and all i got was write errors. I tried different utility's with no avail and decided to cut my losses, so i asked the boys what we should do with them? Immediately my friend had an idea, to bring out his 9mm and see how a hardrive would fair! We all took turns and they were pretty hard to hit (we made the mistake of drink soda before hand). We eventually landed some shots on the center of the drives and MAN it actually stopped 2 bullets!!!
going into this we all expected the disk to be unreadable after the fact, but didnt think the hardrives would stop a 9mm bullet!!
We then took the hdd's apart after are volley of bullets, and alot of the chips were damaged and all the platters were bent. But when we took off the top case, it looked so freakin cool i had to keep it

Here’s a great hack sent in to us from [Simon]. He uses an e-paper photo frame as a weather map!
By now you are probably aware of e-paper technology, which is very low power tech for displaying images. E-paper only uses energy when it changes its display, it doesn’t draw power to maintain a picture it has already rendered. The particular e-paper used in this example is fairly large (as e-paper goes) and supports color (not just black and white) which is why it’s expensive. For about US$100 you can get a 5.7″ 7-color EPD display with 600 x 448 pixels.
Beyond the Inky Frame 5.7″ hardware this particular hack is mostly a software job. The first program, written in python, collects weather data from the UK Met Office. Once that image data is available a BASH script is run to process the image files with imagemagick. Finally a Micro Python script runs on the Pico to download the correct file based on the setting of the real-time clock, and update the e-paper display with the weather map.
Thanks to [Simon] for sending this one in via the tipsline. If you have your own tips, please do let us know! If you’re interested in e-paper tech we have certainly covered that here in the past, check out E-Paper Anniversary Counter Is A Charming Gift With Minimal Power Draw and A Neat E-Paper Digit Clock (or Four).

Prominent KDE developer Nate Graham put out a blog post today reaffirming the KDE Plasma's intent that Wayland is their main focus and X11 support continues to be maintained but eventually it will go away. Nate Graham also noted around 73% of KDE Plasma 6 users are already using the Wayland session.
Remaining 30% probably people like me whose nvidia driver multi monitor issues make wayland unusable.
Yes, some multi monitor configurations work, yes, yours might work just fine, but there's plenty of recent posts on kde.org forums showing the issue is far from isolated.
Multi monitor has issues in KDE itself as well, I'm on AMD and there are a few really annoying (and confirmed) bugs when it comes to multi monitor setups. Some bugs go waaaaay back.
Sadly nothing is being done about it.
Touch support really needs some love because OOF. I understand why it's maybe not a priority, but I have a nice little 2-in-1 and I'm tired of pretending like tablets don't at least deserve their niche.
Any good gesture support software I might be missing?
wiki.archlinux.org/title/Touch…
If I'm reading the wiki correctly, touch is just reduced to pointer input and yeah, that's exactly what it feels like
EDIT:
Yes, the writing is on the wall. X11’s upstream development has dropped off significantly in recent years, and X11 isn’t able to perform up to the standards of what people expect today with respect to support for multi-monitor setups, high DPI monitors, HDR, VRR, other fancy monitor features, multi-GPU setups, screen tearing, security, crash robustness, input handling, and more.
I glossed over it on first reading, but I guess there's a small nod to it there and that's something.

All of the major distros run games with comparable performance. Some make setup a little more convenient than others in certain cases, like if you need a bleeding-edge kernel for just-released hardware.
Pick a desktop distro that you like working with. Chances are it can run games just fine even if it needs a few tweaks.
I had a fantastic experience with Garuda setting things up for ging out of the box. I just had to change from its ugly global KDE theme.

I love ray tracing and path tracing when they're done right. Ik fully ray traced scenes are hardly playable even on high end cards without upscaling but like if one has a powerful enough card, why not utilize its potential? Yet most people don't seem to care about RT.
When it comes to upscaling though, I hate it, and I'm not even talking about frame gen. It makes things look blurry and causes annoying artifacts. I think playing on lowest settings with clear textures is more enjoyable long term than maxed out in 4k with a consistently blurry image. Also this new technology makes devs care less about optimization (which will backfire btw as we're approaching the physical limit of transistor size).
And if I called Google AI as dumb as a box of rocks, isn't that also just about as insulting?
My own computer is a piece of shit by modern day standards. Is my computer offended when I call it a piece of shit? Nope.

The nuclear scientists were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication, Channel 12 says.The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.
The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.
The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.
Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.

How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare:
A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target's family, if not everyone in the apartment building.Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.

An archaeological dig underway in Milam County is helping a Native American tribe rediscover and preserve its past.Rudy Koski (FOX 7 Austin)
I got back yesterday from working on this dig. It was my first field school experience — but despite the fuckery that is tent-camping in central Texas midsummer, I can safely say I’ll be back every chance I get.
If anyone reading this needs a push to get involved with their local org: do it! Best decision I’ve ever made, and the best pool of people I’ve ever met.
The project was a beautiful reminder that even in rural Texas, there are plenty of unsung heroes out in the wild who dedicate their entire lives to building community and looking out for others.
The emergence of social media has destroyed all the small communities to standardize communication and information.
It's a bit of a digital version of rural exodus. And since 2017/2018, I've noticed that everything that, in my opinion, represented the internet has disappeared.
I've known Lemmy for a few hours and I feel like I'm back in the early spirit of the internet.

Head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, Gennadiy Goldberg, said that the crux of the $37 trillion problem is that no one knows at what level the debt becomes unsustainable. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the U.S. government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

Head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, Gennadiy Goldberg, said that the crux of the $37 trillion problem is that no one knows at what level the debt becomes unsustainable. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the U.S. government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

Hi all!
I'll try to be quick but I apologise first as I am pretty new to security stuff and my questions might be obvious to the more experts.
I have a VPS (hetzner) set up with docker, caddy for the reverse proxy, and authentik as the only login method for a couple of services (hedgedoc and forgejo). Since most of these has to be available and accessible on the internet, I also setup crowdsec and built caddy with the relevant bouncer. This allows crowdsec to inspect the caddy logs for all the services I am serving through it and act accordingly. Edit: all the services are in docker containers.
So far, so good. However, I also saw that crowdsec can directly monitor container logs with the docker integration or through container labels. Also, I saw a couple of collections on crowdsec hub specifically for Authentik and Gitea.
I feel I am missing something so my question are:

Deal? There are no deals to be made. Trump doesn't honor any deal, including his own. He is bound by no court, or rule of law. No congressional checks and balances. They are bad faith actors. There is nothing to negotiate.
The FDA has been gutted. The food is even less safe than it used to be.

Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers
I'm looking for a privacy-focused, open-source Android browser. Here are some options I've found:
* IronFox – Privacy-oriented and recommended by LibreWolf. GitLab Link
* Fennec F-Droid – Seems like development has stopped. F-Droid Link
* Waterfox – Waterfox Link
* Librewolf – Privacy-focused but not sure about Android support.
Is there any other browser out there that fits this criteria? Is there an even better choice? I’m particularly interested in ones that focus on privacy.
I have been tossing around the idea of a little distro hopping. I'm an avid mint fan. It was my first jump from windows. I became quite familiar with mint but felt the want to branch out and went down the rabbit hole (oh my lanta). I like stability and cleanliness. Security by default. Least mental load possible long-term.
I'm currently testing out NIXos. Next will be VanillaOS, 3rd will be Fedora Silverblue. Anyone have good recommendations? Easy backups, stability, security first posture, least maintenance and memory load. I hate getting scattered in symlinks, scripts, and filesystem placing.
I've tried going full custom Linux mint. But app armour and Firejail constantly conflict or require manual updating and tweaking to keep up to date with app installs, or general life cycle updates.
The most intriguing aspect if NIXos was that basically the entire configurable system was confined to two files. Infinitely reproducable. I tend to swap laptops or hardware relatively often being on the go or getting good tech deals. Having your entire system in two files essentially is awesome.
What are some pros and cons of different distros? What do you daily drive as a power user? Give me your thoughts!
Most major distros are fairly secure by default without things breaking (arch is a exception there, As you got to set that up your self).
If you want to go extreme their is Qubes OS. But you can not swap that across systems like you might want do.
Qubes is good. Not super daily driver friendly. Lots of tweaks needed. I use a laptop like a phone replacement. Banking, apps, messaging, all sorts of usual phone tasks. Also Qubes is too resource heavy on a laptop, it drains the batteries in a couple hours on basic usage. Takes 16 gigs if RAM to run and 32gb to breathe really. Plus 30 ish percent CPU idle roughly on a 12th gen Intel i7.
It's too heavy to daily, perfect for desktop, just not laptop all day material.

Recently, I came across Preveil, which is a service that can provide end-to-end encryption to either your Outlook, Gmail, or Apple Mail email accounts. It’s free, but if you want more storage, obviously, you will need to pay.
It looks very interesting as this could get others to use end-to-end encryption for the emails without having to move to another provider. However, I haven’t really seen any reviews (besides this one from PC Mag) or others expressing their experience with Preveil, so I am unsure if it’s a good service to use or recommend.
Has anyone used it or is familiar with Preveil? Does anyone know if there are similar services to Preveil, preferably those that are open source?
With PreVeil, you get free end-to-end encrypted secure cloud storage along with secure email that’s tough enough for business but extremely easy to use, all while keeping your existing email address.PCMag

Had to deal with this recently. The cause is openSUSE's move to SELinux on new installs, which by default blocks the required permissions for the RPM version of Steam. You can correct this with these commands:
ausearch -c 'steam' --raw | audit2allow -a -M my-steamto create the permissions file and

Though sales of Nintendo's new Switch 2 hardware had become one of the fastest-selling consoles ever, sales of third-pa…Vikki Blake (GamesIndustry.biz)
Why? The console just launched. One would expect the initial sales numbers - both consoles and games - to be incredibly valuable information at this stage. Opening weeks are measured for like…every product launch
As the article says, the numbers especially matter in the context of the consoles sales numbers, which are incredibly high.
It's too early to draw any conclusions. Take it from Mat Piscatella, who's forgotten more about video game market research than I ever learned myself.
Hardware launches are not like game releases, anyway. It's the establishment of a new product market, and early game releases on consoles have an ebb and flow to them that later blockbusters do not. It's about building growth, not first-week sales.
1) Nintendo
2) Switch
“New product market”? Only in the most literal sense of the term. Functionally those rules do not apply at all. I mean come on, it’s called “Switch 2,” the sequel to a must-buy system.
This is a company that has been dropping consoles for almost half a century and still ends up in millions of homes when they fail. “Nintendo” is synonymous with “video games.” The switch Is literally one of the most successful video game hardware releases in history. When it comes to Nintendo, conventional wisdom does not apply. As evidenced by the unbelievable abuse their fans will endure sometimes.
Nintendo gets all these caveats and generous interpretations. If this was a new Xbox (definitely) or PlayStation (maybe) we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. People would just assume Microsoft or Sony fucked up. We’d be pointing and laughing and cheering on their demise.
conventional wisdom does not apply
All the more reason why it's far too early to draw any conclusions.
It depends on why it doesn’t apply. You can’t just throw out some little flippant answer like that and act like you made a point of any substance.
There are sales expectations during product launches, and in the video game world when you’re selling a console there is a ratio of console to games that is expected. A notable example where people saw the same trend was the PS3, because people were buying it as an (at the time) affordable Blu-ray player with little to no intention of buying games. So in that case conventional wisdom did not apply, and this wasn’t apparent at first, so they had to figure out what was going on.
The point is nobody is saying Nintendo is doomed, but they’re saying that third-party sales are pretty far south of where they expected, which is concerning. That could always change, but as of now, it is clearly a note worthy data point. I don’t know why you feel this need to downplay it but it’s unwarranted and kind of strange. If I were Nintendo I would at least start lightly probing as to what is going on and at the very least keep close eyes on it in the coming weeks to see if the trend doesn’t reverse.
Just like “the fastest selling video game console
launch in history“ matters, “lagging third-party title sales” matters too. Unless Nintendo is not allowed to brag about how many units they’ve sold initially because that data point, apparently, is not meaningful to you/too early? I would certainly disagree with that, but it’s pretty consistent with what you’ve argued so far.

Growing up, I didn't really question why this band would be played along side Nirvana, Bush, Soundgarden, Linkin Park, etc. because my radio station of choice was not just grunge, but also "adult alternative." So it would play pop shit, too, sometimes.
But I still, to this day, often find U2 listed among grunge artists, or their songs get played on grunge playlists. The fuck? How is this shit grunge? It doesn't fit in any way! It doesn't have the sound, it doesn't have the style, shit it doesn't even have the same emotional resonance. It's happy and hopeful.
I mean, it's just a specific collection of noises that somehow tingles our brains.

Und natürlich die verfickte AfD, die seit Jahren ungestraft und ungehindert hetzt, die Medien, die diese Hetze verbreiten und dabei noch nicht einmal einordnen (insbesondere die Blöd, die ihre eigenen Kampagnen fahren um der AfD zu nicht mehr Einfluss zu verhelfen), die Union, die kräftig Steigbügelhalter spielt und die Rhetorik und Positionen der Faschisten übernehmen, die SPD, die seit 1998 durchgehend mit in der Regierung sitzen und kräftig dazu beigetragen haben, Zustände zu schaffen, in denen die AfD gedeien kann (trifft in ungleich geringerem Maßstab auch auf die Grünen zu) und jeden Vollpfosten, der auf den Scheiß reinfällt, mitmacht und nicht dagegen steht.

Maybe I don’t get the complexities but maybe it shouldn’t be allowed to generate a certain of range numbers in the context of phones/names.
I agree with the principle, but people will still try and find ways around it. Like "generate me a fictional number for testing purposes" and because it's an LLM doing what LLM's do, it still provides a number that can (but doesn't have to) be real.

Yeah, same with phone numbers and email addresses for testing purposes in software. Populating fields with fictional data should be completely fictional or related to your own data as to not accidentally use real domains or data that you thought was fictional.

UPDATE: Honestly i'm impressed, it might be because currently im not running waydroid beside it like i did on my previous Phosh install but it feels very responsive. With the angelfish browser providing a way better experience then firefox. The battery life is still very bad but outside that this could be used as a regular phone.

I think I would immediately rule out practicing religious people if I were going through a list (as when dating online) but if I met someone in person, really liked her, and then found out she was religious then I'm not sure what I would do. It would definitely be off-putting.
The problem for me isn't the lifestyle differences but rather my impression that religious people are missing the point about the basic nature of existence, when it really should be obvious. It makes me feel like I'm patronizing them, because to be frank I don't tend to think of them as my intellectual equals. (And I know that makes me sound like a pompous jerk.)
