how do i transfer files via usb c cable from a pixel 6a (grapheneos) to linux mint?
  • If OP installed GrapheneOS they likely already have adb and USB debugging configured.

    That said, as recommended in the FAQ, one should use android-file-transfer, since enabling USB debugging (and using adb) is a security breach

  • Applications to reduce mouse usage
  • You're in for a treat, it's a PITA to configure if you're learning it (especially on the UI part, I found). Good luck on the journey :)

  • vscodium, vscode without spyware
  • IDEs like VSCose are only powerful because they integrate coding tools like LSPs and completion enginea. Those tools are also available on neo/vim or Emacs, so you can be as proficient as you were with VSCode. Hell, even GitHub's Copilot is available on vim!

    And frankly, having started coding on Atom before switching to neovim, I find a keyboard centric, mode-based coding much more efficient than a usual mouse-centric workflow.

    It really boils down to personal preference, but I'm eager to find some objective arguments proving that "vim is outdated when it comes to ease of use", because that's not what I experienced.

  • Macron calls crisis talks after another night of violence across France, with more than 600 arrested
  • « Nights of violence » and « Attack against democracy » is the narrative the government and (some) media stick to, because they can't lose face. We've been calling it out for a long, long time now, both in France and in the rest of the world. Situation in France escalated dramatically since 2016 and the law « El Khomri » relative to work rights, but (unfortunately) even quicker since Macron became President, as he will not consider people's voice.

    In 2017, a law was relative to firearms passed the Parliament, giving police officers more latitude as to when they are allowed to use them.

  • what phones are you all using?
  • Saying Micay has stepped down is big assertion, since they could be pretty much anyone coding for the project (I mean, having an alias). It's a matter of trust and if I cannot trust them to do what they say, I still trust the community behind the project.

    That's why I ended up flashing GrapheneOS. I did try CalyxOS, but couldn't find any real value compared to LineageOS (besides, maybe, network authorization) when it comes to apps installation and behavior. I'm happy with the settings of GrapheneOS, and I'll see how the situation evolves to decide if I keep it or not :). I have no doubt that if Micay stays around, we will hear bout them in no time.

  • Hey :)

    I recently broke my 1+6T, and settled on a Pxel 7 to replace it. I will flash a custom ROM on it, but I have concerns regarding GrapheneOS since Rossmann exposed Daniel.

    That said, I've heard about CalyxOS, and I'd say the Calyx project is interesting! How does it run for a daily driver? Security-wise, I reckon ir's a middle ground between GraphenOS and LineageOS, but I'm not sure what to expect from it...
