Install dovecot and set up your email client to connect to it. Email is trivial if you're not sending to other hosts.

Doesn't gnome change their APIs all the time between minor versions, so themes and plugins have to be constantly rewritten?

In mine, the keys stopped working reliably, but it was still my favourite Android phone so far

And recaptcha. And Google-hosted Javascript libraries. And youtube embeds.

I bought a google account for less than $1, used it to log in to pipepipe and nothing else. Then I only use pipepipe when all else fails.

I haven't found any other way, even an unreliable one.

I also found myself not wanting to click youtube links because there's a good chance I'll spend the next 5 minutes switching apps and vpns and whatnot to make it work.

And start a huge fight every time you want to go on a bike with them, so after a few years you just give up and watch your body deteriorate as you turn into a couch potato.

Haha yes if you get a nice grateful one in the genetic lottery. Supposedly.

Yeah they fucked up v30, i updated from v29 a few weeks back and had to restore it and now I'm back at 29

 

Is there a consensus on how to run Steam and games isolated from the main system? I've seen Flatpak mentioned in some Reddit post but I'm not sure how good the separation is. Everything about Flatpak sounds like an early work in progress, but I can be convinced otherwise.

I don't trust Steam or the closed source games at all. Currently I've got a second disk with a separate system for gaming, but I very rarely have the motivation to reboot. I want to game more (and spend less time on social media) but compromising my main OS is out of the question. Stuff in the home directory should be isolated from the games. Ideally no network access too, but Steam will not work in that case.

If someone has seen a ready made guide I'd be happy to read it. Any tips would be nice too.

 

I've noticed that the Nivea roll-on deodorants I'm using are pretty easy to open after used up, but haven't found any refill fluid on the market.

I know some people use powders etc, I'm not willing to try that, but does anyone know of a reasonably priced refill?
