In case you want to hold on to Win 10, you can use their LTSC version + validate with massgrave / your own activation emulator. Win 10 21H2 IoT (LTS) end of life is 13 Jan 2032. You would have 7 years to figure out where to go from the

I don't know what Microsoft considers me, but it definitely felt bad.

Where would you get help with Microsoft Windows? Same support story as Linux, in my experience. If it's a PC, I'd consider selling the card and getting a different one that looks good from a cursory research, if it's a laptop

I started with Ubuntu back in the day, and later distro-hopped a lot, but honestly, I find the apt package manager the nicest. So I went back to Ubuntu's source: Debian. I use it with KDE. I also have a good out of the box experience w

For office software, consider ONLYOFFICE. Free software, and it uses Microsoft file formats by default, and has a pretty good compatibility with it.

Stop daydreaming and just make the jump. The possibility of things being different down the road, and the fantasy you acting on it properly just serves to make you feel better, without needing actual action, or commitment on your part. Do s

So to throw me to prison, all one needs to do is break in, and let my cat loose. Also, abandonment is just a minuscule part of human animal abuse.

IT is like that in every aspect of its naming, I think. It's a separate domain. We got architects, rockstars, viruses, windows, icons, etc and they resemble the original thing only to a degree.

I guess you're right, in the way that we can either describe and prescribe language, and yes, open source is not defined in exact terms. I still do think that attaching the label to a product, and disregarding the decades long collabor

I believe that it's not a protected term or a trademark or anything, but rather it's the case of misleading marketing. Open source is widely understood to be a specific thing, which Liquibase explicitly isn't. Although, on th

So, according to endoflife.date, Pixel 7a is still good for 2 years and 6 months (until 01 May 2028) Pixel 8a for 5 years from today (until 01 May 2031). These are great numbers. I love this project.

I feel you. Phones move so fast, they require a lot of compromises from the user. I am currently using a Pixel 7a, 8mm longer and 3mm wider than the 4a, and I'm reasonably happy with it. Although to be honest, I also have my pet peeve

I see what you mean, but GrapheneOS has completely different goals. Simply put, Graphene strives to be a secure, degoogled Android. Other than that, it has the same goal as the Pixel phones: to be as close to mainline Android as possible.

What does Android need "in terms of usability, features, and overall experience"? I personally don't feel that anything is missing. I'd love a denser battery maybe.

by npteljes 1y ago
What do you think about selling your old phone, and buying a used Pixel? This would get you a Graphene-approved phone, but generate no e-waste.

Hallucinations are also completely normal, "by design", just the output / experience of the system that produces it. It's just us who decided on the classification of what's real and what isn't, and looking at

I'm a bit sad that this question is downvoted, because it's a valid question, even if a bit pointed. First, we don't really know what's there. Because the entirety of the rest of the world is there, and that's a lot

These dark patterns are the zeitgeist really, for many years now. And they work very well, because of the combinations of vendor lock-in, product bundling, and companies getting better and better at PR. Usually there is an easy workaround.

Very good example, thanks for sharing. Too early do people jump to conclusions online, calling out other commenters as state bots and so on. Influence, and people, look differently than they imagine. Manipulators come in multiple shapes and

Just hyperbole. Obviously reddit is not the default source of all human knowledge, but many times, it's the one place to get critical information from - as in, it's mostly the only place where negative information have a chance to

It's not a fact, but a first-hand recount of a first-hand experience. The bias of a person of themselves affects that on at least two levels: first, on how they perceive their own deed, second, on how they recount the perception of tha

Answering this question seriously, I'm a programmer / IT know-it-all, and I did it under two hours, which included firing up my own activation emulator, toward which I point my Windows. Now that I have the process down, it's
