It's not perfect but depending on the accuracy of their data source it might be a decent replacement for my normal weather app. It's not gonna replace [Wx] (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=joshuatee.wx), (Play store link, but it's on Fdroid too), but it's not bad tbh.

Too late for me. It's been fine so far, but I'm also not really using anything new.

If I'm reading that correctly, yeah all you should need to do is install the AUR package. 1.1-1.3 in that section are different options that don't depend on each other.

Maybe not 40km, but still, are you absolutely sure about that?

I've installed Arch a dozen times at least over the years on various machines.

First off, some advice. People will tell you to watch videos or read some specific guide, and by all means do so to get an overview of the process, but I'd highly recommend double-checking everything against the official install guide. It's fairly terse but contains everything you need to do, and if you research the topics you don't understand you'll learn a lot quickly. This is best done in a virtual machine the first time unless you have a spare machine laying around.

Overall, it amounts to creating the install medium, booting it, any post boot configuration (including networking), partitioning and mounting your disk(s), writing some config files and installing the base packages and a bootloader, plus anything else you may need or want. I'm glossing over a lot of individual steps and "anything you may need or want" is essentially endless, but you get the point.

Overall it's involved but not terribly difficult. Like I think others have said, fairly similar to building a desktop from parts. Gentoo is a step up, and installing Linux From Scratch another few steps above that.

Ok now I'm curious about what the fuck the two centipedes I found in my basement that I thought were fucking were actually doing. They sure looked like they were fucking.

Not now. Maybe it'll be useful once the bubble bursts and a few actually decent uses for something that could actually run on a phone emerge from the rubble and actually work.

At the moment I'm not seeing a whole lot overall that actually works unless you're an expert using it for science or something like that.

n=20. This is wayyyy too small a study to draw conclusions beyond "more research required".

For anyone else wondering, he was working as a cop in a small town in Mexico. It's still surprising, but not like he was a beat cop in NYC or something.

small brewerys pay half tax.

This is smart. Why don't more places do this?

I keep it installed for the odd site that requires it and because Firefox still doesn't support WebSerial.
