Containers don’t offer a benefit over normal browsing for this, Firefox already blocks and isolates third party cookies.

This is partially pointing out that every time these discussions invariably come up, nobody addresses the cognitive dissonance of ideologues claiming that the benefit of open source like Linux and Firefox is that “the community can hard for

Yes ditching a secure OS for one that can easily be pwned by police / ICE / DHS with ease (especially in a time in the US when they’re doing this more and more) when AOSP can just be hard forked users. Thanks for the input, govern

Seriously. The average person in real life has no idea what MV2 or MV3 is. And despite what people here would have you believe uBlock Origin Lite works nearly as good as uBO and is generally indistinguishable from its MV2 counterpart. A cas

If small phones were a widely popular thing then there would be a company making them successfully or it would’ve been greater than 5% of iPhone sales. An individual company with zero brand power or presence wouldn’t have any decent sales.

Yeah unfortunately this is the case. Privacy and security in general are things most average consumers don’t necessarily care for, and especially don’t care for when it provides inconveniences. Even in more tech enthusiast crowds you see th

More like OEMs need to take security more seriously and add in the capable hardware and commit to firmware updates long term.

Also for better or for worse the ad-centric model to some extent has allowed more people to access information. Gating everything behind paid (but with no ads) likely would hurt a significant amount of lower income users.

“The benefit of open source is that anyone can fork and modify the code!” Yet somehow this argument seems to evaporate since people’s brains short circuit the moment they see the name Google. The community can always fork and maintain a sep

Seriously KDE is so extremely ugly and dated looking compared to macOS, GNOME and even modern Windows. I don’t care about the 30 million configurable options if it looks like a total eyesore. You’d think they’d put some effort into a consis

Same, I enjoy both the current macOS and iPadOS windowing systems. Everything else I tried on linux felt like an extreme downgrade.

I would argue that it’s weird to expect that Apple should maintain a product that sells less when people have consistently shown that they will buy the better performing product anyway instead of not buying at all. Like this isn’t a hypothe

Bro the Mini was a flop for Apple, it could barely surpass 5% of all iPhone sales during its run. It would be nonsensical for a publicly traded company to leave money on the table and keep an underperforming product alive when they could pu

Sorry but this is maximum level conspiratorial thinking. Meta probably has some created some incentive for OEMs to make larger screens by way of people liking content consumption but the idea that they’d be paying for that is ridiculous lol

I would imagine the cross section of people who seek out GOS but would settle for Postmarket OS is nearly non existent.

Supporting an alternative OS wouldn’t change the fate of Fairphone, imo. Most people don’t care to move away from the stock version of Android that comes with their phone or iOS.

by armadyl 14d ago
The overwhelming majority of consumers just prefer larger screens (myself included). People seem to forget that Apple releasing the Mini was them listening to the minority and the sales numbers if it were poor versus the rest of the lineup.

With 5k its 200%, with the 6K I think it was 150% or 200%. I do site closer to monitors lol, but I never bought into the “just push the monitor back” argument to simulate higher PPI, you can always tell the difference (imo).

27” 1440p was not part of this discussion, I was referencing your comment comparing the P20 with higher PPI against the 4K 32”…

I’m personally considering the 5K 27” 27GM950B from LG, but I’m hesitant and wonder if I should save the disappointment or inevitable and just spring for the Studio Display XDR. But its quite a jump and I don’t get paid for coding like that

by armadyl 16d ago
I’m a software engineer (or well, was since I’ve moved on) and a single Pro Display XDR was hands down the best display I’ve ever used for productivity and programming work. It’s night and day and going down to 4K at 27” or 32” is extremely

The PPI of a 32” 4K is horrendous for anything that’s not media consumption or gaming though.

iOS/iPadOS has way more optimizations under the hood than macOS does in order to keep heat/battery life/performance not poor, the most obvious feature being the way apps and tabs get killed or refreshed in the background. I d
