Only reason I'm still using FB is the marketplace. Nothing comes even close to it for my region.

And at the same time, social anxiety has been steadily increasing among young people due to decreased human connection, driven by smartphone use. Tell a random 20 year old to go to their local park and strike up a conversation with a stranger for no reason except that they are at the same park, and they'll look at you like you just told them to assassinate the prime minister of Czechoslovakia - not only are they sure it is a bad idea, but they are pretty sure it is impossible, since Czechoslovakia hasnt been a country for quite some time now.

So these factors combine. They believe that even approaching a woman already makes them a bad person. Then layer on top social anxiety that makes talking to strangers already horrifying. And the brain comes up with a scenario that justifies the fear: You are a bad person if you approach a woman - you're a bad person just for thinking about it - so if you actually did such a fucked up thing, it would definitely get recorded and posted online. Everyone would know what a fucked up person you are, you'd probably get MeToo'd, and sent to jail for sexual assault. Better never talk to anyone, just to be safe.

Damn that was a bit too close to home for comfort. However I'm closer to 40's than 20's xD

I see myself as a shy introvert and I'd rather avoid social interactions if I can, as I feel I'm bothering the other person(s). So approaching a woman randomly... Yeah the second quoted paragraphe summarise how the experience would feel.

That's why I liked dating apps years ago, before it (apparently) went to shit (I stopped now that I have a partner): clear background and expectations, minimised misunderstanding.

Beginner: New Ubuntu install - Wifi card issue (sh.itjust.works)

Hello,

I've been trying to do my first stride in Linux's world by installing Ubuntu on my laptop (Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Gen) to replace W10 who was working well but is loosing support soon.

Well the test result is... unclear. Ubuntu itself is fast and working rather well but... my Wifi card seem to have problem with Ubuntu.

Before giving up and re-installing W10 I'm trying to find help to solve this issue. I created a full description of the issue on the Ubuntu forum, here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lenovo-x1-carbon-ubuntu-24-04-03-lts-no-wireless-connection-error-activation-of-network-connection-failed/69286

Any help would be very appreciated

Edit: After trying the suggestion below to power down and remove the battery without any success, I'll try to use a "windows to go" w10 USB drive to try to change the WiFi card power settings as suggested in some other answers.

Choice of Compact Android Smartphone - 2024 edition (sh.itjust.works)

Hello all,

My Galaxy S8 is starting to feel its age. After now close to 7 years of service, it's starting to show its limits. The usual problems: Battery getting weaker and weaker, generally slow (My once/month visit of instagram for example is... a stutter) and, mot simportantly, no more security update.

I'm tempted to switch it to GrapheneOS and continue but I'm really afraid some "official" apps won't work anymore (mostly banking apps).

In October last year I started my quest for a new Android phone with the S8 form factor, or as close as possible for pocket-fit.

I've checked the various guide on this community and came ouf with the same question I had while doing research on my side.

Contenders were:

Fairphone 5, which philosophy was extremely tempting, especially the "fair" aspect and the self-repairing capabilities. However, its form factor and what I heard about extremely slow patch/updates were the last nail in its coffin-size (161.6 x 75.83 x 9.6 mm).
Cosmic Dolphin (Link) was also extremely tempting (secure OS, mechanical switch for GPS/Camera/Mice...) but a new company means possible bancrupcy and no more security update, plus the form factor (159.7 x 73.3 x 7.8 mm) meant it was also a no.
Xperias 5V and other in the lineup seemed interesting, especially the SD card slot. But no info regarding software updates and way to expensive.

Only two made the cut and I have to choose between:

None have a SD card, jack socket or removable battery but it seems these features are becoming more and more of a rarity.

Both have a at least 4 years of updates still.

Galaxy S23

Positives:

146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm
Updates for at least 3 years
128 / 256 Gb Storage
Cheaper now that the S24 should arrive soon.

Negatives:

~~Proc is a bit less efficient (meaning less time for the same battery size)...~~ Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the S23 being more efficient.

Pixel 8

Positives:

150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm
7 year of updates
128 / 256 Gb Storage
~~I heard their Proc were more efficient than S23's~~ Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the S23 being more efficient.
Compatible with GrapheneOS (if test on my old S8 shows the important app I have still work there).

Negatives:

Google... Data leach amon leeches.
This insuferable camera bar on the back... Not really handy and will probably ruin a lot of pant's pocket.

I'm split between these two.

Would you have any advices regarding one or the other?
Points I haven't mentionned here?
