Any second-hand business class laptop that fits your budget, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.

Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they’re still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.

You’ll have to install Linux yourself, but generally support for older hardware is OK.

IMPORTANT: make sure the BIOS isn’t locked before buying.

Dual SIM phone

Don’t really know about the US, sorry. eBay might be a good place though.

Jerboa, because it just works and doesn’t overcomplicate things.

Here in the Netherlands my level of German is widely called “steenkolen Duits” (coal German) because it’s course, harsh, hard and dirty)

That’s actually not the etymology. Steenkolenduits (spelled without a space) is a riff on steenkolenengels, which was the basic/broken English spoken by dockworkers with sailors on incoming British coal ships (steenkolenboten).

You definitely shouldn’t need to do that, one account is enough.

Maybe you’re confused because communities can be on different instances (servers). But you don’t need to make an account on those instances, because all the instances are federated together. That means you can just have your account on one instance and follow and participate in all your communities from there.

WHAT YOU SAY?!

IIRC all plugins you can get via the offical plugin directory are GPL-3

They could already have access to your emails, because… you’re running their OS. They can slip in any code they want and run it with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM-level privileges (comparable to root-level privileges on Linux systems).

If you run any other OS you’ll also have to trivially trust the makers of that OS with root-level privileges (or comparable).

(Personally I don’t believe that MS is scanning all your local emails, but they certainly have the technical possibilities to do so very trivially.)

And that’s why I’m explicitly noting that they’re not FOSS, doofus. Besides, if you’re using Windows anyway, using its built-in email client is not a huge stretch.

The built-in Mail app is pretty nice, other than that eM Client is good too

Because Apple ships a great one with the OS, so the necessity to make an alternative is less. Compare this to the garbage that passes for e.g. the Samsung weather app.

The word you’re looking for is ‘social democracy’, which is a broadly capitalist system with socialist elements.

Beancount + Fava

Isn’t it just an improperly displayed network error? Those show up in red in the top left corner

Just use the standard Mail app, it’s pretty good

Ah, but how do you know that the code is well-written?

There have been multiple cases in smart contracts where the code looked good, but a subtle bug ended up being exploited.
