Mebuk 4,1 is upgradable to 6 gigs of RAM: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.4-black-13-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
Or at least to 4 gigs — 2 Gb DDR2 SO-DIMMs shouldn't be hard to find at all!
It has 802.11n wireless card — potentially a very nice machine! 👍

@gemlog
And yes, likewise I'd still advise against using Signal or anything relying on phone number as primary means of identification — unless you are using an anonymous SIM-card and an actual burner phone — the one you've never used with a SIM-card that could be traced back to your real identity.

@gemlog
I usually just SSH/VPN home where I have an always-on VPN connection to one of Proton Secure Core nodes, the entry and exit IP-addresses of these are in different countries, e.g. my home VPN box is connected to a server in Switzerland, but I would be browsing from Poland — this makes tracing it back to the device I'm on nearly impossible, but yeah — this involves jumping through extra hoops.

@gemlog
> Moscow where there are no anonymous open wifi networks
True. At least it's illegal to allow people to use your open network without making them undergo identification (linking them to a phone number).
It's also illegal to have a SIM-card not tied to your real identity — but it doesn't mean you can't buy one 😏
I don't consider using a non-anonymous connection such a big problem — you can always hide yourself behind a chain of proxies.

The kind of wisdom you lack when you are young: NEVAR update your software!

You seem to be avoiding the the topic: Microsoft *willingly* having killed off HDCD 😏

WDYM "mad"? Since when poisoning the food of those posting WebP images stopped being okay? 🤨

> you can just communicate that you don't want to have sex
Sure you can! But with this we are back to square one: if one of you genuinely wants physical intimacy and the other one doesn't, of course this isn't suitable for long term relationship, neither it is for short term — and you won't turn it into long term by sleeping in the same bed, it simply doesn't work and it's best to not get romantically involved at all, this was @kaia 's original point!

@bonifartius
When the "right time" comes you might suddenly discover that physically you aren't very comfortable with each other, young and inexperienced people tend to idealise the object of their romantic interest, but with part of that magic gone this would lead to disappointment and invoke way more drama.
