Cisco used to not be that selective.

They used to give out free Meraki APs to everyone just for attending their webinars. The catch with those devices was licensing. You’ve got some limited-time free license, and then you either paid or kept a paperweight.
At least officially. Some of them were later supported by OpenWRT, but newer ones are more locked down.

I don’t really expect more than like 2-3 Lemmy users to know anyway. It’s just a random joke.

Based on what I’ve heard about the US’s 988, it may rather be negative.

Oh, you’re thinking of killing yourself, let us reinforce that by being absolutely rude, or better yet, time to get taken away by cops into a psych ward.

Let’s see what’s out there with some example (Reddit)
Summary: Person called 988, police showed up 90 minutes later, got taken for mandatory psychological evaluation, forced to stay 2 days in ER, ended up getting billed $6,470.

Or switch to any rolling-release distro which won’t have major updates to begin with.

I mean, wouldn’t that be similar to leaves moving in wind though?

This is obviously more elegant, but you can also use GPG in Termux.

Just saying.

Well, I do fuck up a lot.

Does that count?

OH, least favorite.

I was wondering why everyone is so sarcastic.

Well, buggy software (MIUI) and the surveillance. I mean, there’s a higher chance MIUI bricks itself during an update than with any Alpha-release custom ROM (so I don’t update… [But it’s also due to Android often removing features from API and breaking niche apps]).
E.g.: Wallpaper bug (stretched or awfully upscaled after changing brightness), brightness slider not working, broken screen rotation, battery drain, swapped L/R microphone audio channels, FM radio cutting out, system crashes and waves of killed apps, camera app in landscape has some buttons off-screen, MIUI screenshot tool occasionally breaks and stock screenshot tool is used (with full-blast audio sound effect no matter current volume settings), notification access service needs to be manually reset for each app after the app is restarted, 120Hz gets laggy after toggling battery saver on and off and needs to be manually reset, dark mode is forced on all apps but the setting to change this sorts all apps in random order,… Also, the Poco X3 Pro motherboard has a tendency to die. I am on this phone’s third motherboard currently.

Also… the volume buttons can get stuck. Xiaomi phones have issues with dust particles making their way into buttons and activating them randomly.
