my point is thatfor us techie users (i use arch btw) having choice is good. But for the average user it’s a big negative actually.

The linux ecosystem needs to standardize on more things to also allow linux development to be worthwile for devs.

Choosing one distro is not enough, when it can decide to rip out and replace half of its subsystems at will. The most stable api on linux for games is win32 ffs! I have linux native builds of games that simply don’t run on linux anymore.

offer less choice and have an official version of things.

oh quit that bs. There was waterproof (not resistant) micro usb more than a literal decade ago. If anything they should have gottn better.

exactly. But what if there were more than just three (the infamous “guardrails”)

bully for you :)

Don’t. It’s a horrible overheating piece of crap. I literally cannot shoot more than about 3 minutes of video with the flash turned on (at 1080p, not 4k, and not encoding as hevc either). The phone overheats and turns off the flash.

Keeping the phone in my pocket, out of direct sunlight in my car? I see the “3d buildings have been disabled because your phone needs to cool down” every single day. And I live in Malta; in the summer it’s a 20 minute trip, at most.

And even then, the battery life sucks anyway.

Android 16 is buggy af too, though that’s not specific to the 7a.

and the only reason it’s not slowing you down on other things is that you don’t know enough about those other things to recognize all the stuff you need to fix

these types of laws usually come from the most technically illiterate people ever

funny how everyone who wants to write a new browser (except the ladybird guys) always skimp on writing the actual browser part

in yes/no type questions, 50% success rate is the absolute worst one can do. Any worse and you’re just giving an inverted correct answer more than half the time

they are improving at an exponential rate. It’s just that the exponent is less than one.

because it’s supposed to be usb. Which it’s not, intentionally

so? It was never advertised as intelligent and capable of solving any task other than that one.

Meanwhile slop generators are capable of doing a lot of things and reasoning.

One claims to be good at chess. The other claims to be good at everything.

I was 14 years old, and I got the 128meg stick for free. Beggars can’t be choosers haha

i started using linux on a single core pentium 4 with 384M of ram

where did i say it’s less secure? I said it will be coded around. as in forked and the changes patched out/worked around. The point is that it’s pointless to even try. Because it won’t work for those who do choose to use it, due to all the ones bypassing it

if it’s linux, it has to be open source. If it’s open source, people will code around it immediately. How about not trying to shoehorn this useless crap in the first place?

if only they made the thumbnails just a little bit bigger. My monitor still fits 9 of them, tsk tsk

subtitles have completely stopped working for me :/

faster != more efficient. And you cannot compare brains to computers. Speculative execution improves speed in the cpu, at the cost of efficiency
