Dad here. I’d fall flat on my ass if some boyfriend came to me asking permission - pretty sure it won’t happen given the way we rose our daughters.

Fun unrelated to marriage fact: I once had my SO check the front window of a jewelry shop to “pick her favourite” - the stated game was that if we both silently picked the same I’d buy it for her. Some 30+ years later she still wears it on her ring finger. No stone, a ladder of white gold encasing gold stars.

Many imaginative solutions around :)

2 completely different propositions :

• gOS is all about security - do you live in a Surveillance State? (The answer today is most probably yes)
• e/OS is all about🖕google - do you think google is a nefarious entity part of today’s world problems? (I think absolutely yes)

So your choice isn’t one because it’s apples and oranges. I can’t go for gOS because they don’t care about google, and it means I’d be waving around a pixel, I’d be a mobile billboard for google - and also if “someone” wants to get into my phone, they will anyway. A fairphone is another statement entirely, and with an alternate OS from a small French business it’s the most political choice I can make. Also, fuck google.

[edit] e/OS is built on LineageOS which runs on many many phones.

Bah, I’m too old. Had a commodore 64 at home tho.

I’m daily driving my M2 mbp these days - smooth fedora experience, superior sound and screen, good battery life. I hope it comes soon to your machine!
