Finally back to LineageOS, I've had it previously on my Nexus 5 (RIP) but I haven't been using it since I didn't have phone which supports it. Now I've finally unlocked Xiaomi Redmi note 8 pro with little hassle but trouble was worth it. Lineage seems very fast although some functionality is missing such is selfie camera (feature?) and fingerprint unlock. Anyway if anyone needs help unlocking xiaomi or have questions about functionality feel free to ask.

This Whatsapp change of terms is making some of my friends replacing it with Telegram or Signal, either way for lesser evil imo. We have yet to see how this move pays out for Whatsapp and Facebook but I hope more agressive marketing and creepy accurate ads will make people wonder why are they so accurate and search for less invasive alternatives.

It deletes a filled password field on linux. In your browser, on the bootscreen when entering your LUKS password, your login password field, in the sudo prompt, …
It's great when you have a long password and you know you hit a typo somewhere.
Try it it's awesome. And it's the worst thing, that it doesn't work on other platforms.
I didn't even realize their Mastodon account was gone until this update. (To be fair, I've been away for a while.) This is truly unfortunate.
