My phone is my last big American tech item I haven’t ditched. I’d be interested to know what phone you went with and what distro and de you run?

Surely if you are near a door and someone wants to come through you open and hold it for them regardless of sex?

Just use Ghostery with never consent? I hardly ever see those things. Other extensions are available.

I use Opensuse MicroOS on half a dozen PCs but I keep one on Windows until I can run Fortnite on Linux.
