Which is the reason I don’t have a discord account. I just can’t be bothered.
tell me about it. i’ve recently been sort of forced to switch from android to ios (some special circumstance) and holy shit, the virtual keyboard is atrocious.
I would immediately jump on a blackberry keyboard phone when and if one ever gets released.
my cousin had this issue with her 4a and advised her to switch to graphene. not sure if that will do much, but at least 4a still had extended legacy support.
I don’t understand the hype with Bazzite. I mean, any linux is better than windows and Bazzite is just linux with bloat and a bad one at that.
my experience with Bazzite: install, use LACT to attemp a small overclock, crash, reboot, lots of packagers missing from distro, uninstall, went back to vanilla Arch.
immutable distros are just a hype and nothing more.
I’ve been an arch user for years and recently switched to Cachy cause of performance promises and curiosity. I did use their repos before in arch,but I ended up with a mess and instead of fixing the mess I decided to wipe the slate clean.
It’s a decent distribution ,like most,but it did offer me 0 stutters in Path of Exile 2. With Arch I had so many stutters for some reason that it was really unplayable. I think anancy-cpp or kernel schedulers, or everything combined, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Anyway, fire up a vm, or install on baremetal and decide for yourself .
only for it to be a safari wrapper on ios…
it’s a very interesting distribution. it feels and probably is slightly faster than arch, with their optimised packages (I had v3), but to be honest you have to rely on their prebuilt binaries and I prefer flatpaks.
I used it for ~ 3 months, but eventually went back to arch and flatpaks (using flatpaks on cache defeats the purpose of having v3/v4 packages, until someone starts bundling optimised dependencies ).
I prefer the originals always, but it is a viable alternative if you enjoy a friendly installer (their Anaconda is very nice).
not really the same thing but it could happen to anyone: https://www.reuters.com/legal/apple-pay-95-million-settle-siri-privacy-lawsuit-2025-01-02/
I don’t understand why you are being downvoted. that is simply the truth.
I have been using an iphone 12 pro for the past 3 weeks ,while my pixel 6 is getting its battery replaced and it’s been painful.
i’m missing a lot of apps, the ones I do find are limited or asking for monthly subscriptions.
i am unable to play a downloaded mp3 unless i go through hoops&hurdles .
i am no longer able to watch a youtube video without ads (unless I do 3 steps of passing them to adguard), or using sponsorblock ( i am on ios 18.2, otherwise I would have jail broken it to oblivion).
android is simpy better in terms of freedom. IF or when it’ll become a locked garden like ios, it’ll truly be a sad day for the mobile world.
airbnb is the devil. it’s literally ruining entire neighbourhoods and communities with people that only have their vacation brains switched on. they need to be regulated, hard.
my favourite shell just got better!
Oh, I deleted it like 1 year ago. it was probably slightly more reputable back then. it does make it easier in some cases to have a centralised way of handling payments, but I’d rather struggle with inserting my cards each time.
LTT… toilet flushing! I had no expectations of paypal. To my shame I used them in the past,but deleted my account after reading how scummy they are. fuck paypal and anything affiliated with them.
try songs of conquest also
i rate these awards with null.
Ciri or Ciro?
I found SimpleX Chat to be a fairly decent alternative without phone numbers.
All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!
but are they really? how about distros without systemd what would you call those OpenRC/Linux? systemd is indeed a giant intricate project,which is why some people don't like it or are against it,but all its components are working alongside the Linux kernel, without which there wouldn't be a need for systemd. I would say it's rather Linux with systemd,as systemd is optional.
edit: useless autocorrect
Fairphone has a great approach and I would love to buy an EU phone with replaceable parts, however I've read pretty underwhelming things about their software support. in that sense, paying 90€ every 3-4 years to get the battery replaced on a pixel,would be a better bet. That,plus the pixel a variants are very competitively prices and you get huge bang dor your buck.
I wish fairphones were cheaper...
