All I really need is calls, sms, a solid browser and some more robost messaging apps like signal and matrix/element - I’m a prime candidate for PostmarketOS if we ever get a stable piece of hardware. I have an old oneplus 6 that I’ve played with it on, its so close. If a flip phone could master that today, sure

I do use tap to pay, but meh I dont think I would miss it and android auto in my car could easily just be a bluetooth audio connection

(Yellow circle with white “W” on it)

thats the wayland icon, for whatever running it didnt map the icon

I’m not sure why google is over engineering this, proper mainline distros have this solved since forever. Let the community setup trusted repos with gpg keys, then let me trust the repos. If Fdroid trusts the package and I trust Fdroid, who should care?

don’t stream, download your porn from usenet like a civilised person

Here in Australia, they are almost gone. Disney doesn’t release anymore and other studios only release the biggest of titles, smaller movies get less and less releases. Some TV shows only get DVD. Its got me importing discs for things I really want and importing a lot of stuff from the high seas

Funny BYD is the battery OEM on heaps of non-chinese EVs. If you saw for example a Mercedes EV in traffic today, it likely had a BYD battery. They’ve been doing battery tech for literal decades. Their blade battery system is one of the safest and efficient ones on the market.

no one wants to sit in their office talking to their computer verbally, its fucking awkward. Its cool on star trek as a means of exposition and plot, but not in real life.

Start fixing the actual architecture issue of Windows. An immutable base system and modular containerised app workflow might be a start, but we already have that in every other operating system

I wasn’t trying to make them feel bad, I thought the absurdity was clear. I will mark it the an /s next time

I was being facetious

they know they can fork it and compile their own build for free right?

are you archiving it until the patents expire? I use AV1 because of the license

Firefox

there’s an even bigger issue there - file size (or file systems) are not taught anymore. Hell the ipad doesn’t even expose a file system to its users. I work in schools and teachers and students are both as bad as each other

We hate everyone, because you people only bring us your problems 99% of the time and no one cares about our problems

what’s wrong with conduit proper?

as cool as it is to have a gmail account from back then, I have an older lady in the US who just registers things against it, because we have the same first initial and last name. I found her on facebook and messaged her to tell to please stop using my email address, she still does it from time to time.

Its crazy that stuff like ebay will let you verify an account with a mobile number, but never verify the email address. I ended up moving her ebay account to an email address that I created, but I was tempted to buy a bunch of shit for her…

as a non-american, no one really wants to go there at the moment anyway

Isn’t that a Michael Bay film?

The fact that Waterfox is owned by Advertising Company System1, doesn’t bother you?

the whole spec list and image was probably an ai prompt output
