One of the best decisions I made was to deactivate those 'read receipts', aka blue ticks, from the IM apps that I use. Not only people stopped asking me for an answer right away but also I stopped waiting for other people's answers as soon as the ticks went blue. #MentalHealth
@Unairedspecifics Thanks. Now I just need to find a use case for these :)

VS Codium - the community-maintained MIT-Licensed build of Visual Studio Code from Microsoft, is now available in the Snap Store! Edit your code with more added Freedom!
/e/ ROM keeps pushing apps it thinks users might need with no option to disable or uninstall them. This time it was a pdf viewer. Looks nice but I had one installed already and it worked perfectly fine.
I have now switched back to Lineage. This also fixed an issue I was facing (unrelated to /e/) where apps couldn't write to external SD card.

Wasn't aware cat can be used to create a live USB key of the Debian ISO :) (worked with Ubuntu as well)
cat debian-8.0.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso >/dev/sdb; sync
I have always used dd for this purpose.
