Well, my first Ubuntu (circa 2006…07) wasn’t working well on me (with wired internet, no Bluetooth and an average Intel PC. These days, only one obsolete GPU wasn’t working for me. Basically, a default Fedora installation works well with ev

So, if you have money, you can throw away as much as you can, right? I have bought loads of Apple tech during 2010s and all of it is trash. Every iPhone (e.g. models from 4 to 7) costs tens of dollars today, down from a thousand. Not only t

Which distro did you choose? What about the interface, did you have any special things to mention about the migration, was it all the same for you? I find it curious to have someone new with that much of Windows experience.

Well, this time I tend to agree with your points. Personally, I don’t believe an abstracted black box system can assure you it’s going to work as intended without any issues. To me, that’s more like an illusion, since you know no internals

I’d like to point that exaggerations like $430 an hr (isn’t some average salary) or three Starbucks a day being something everyone casually does, they weaken your point. As the rest of your comment, personally, I see it more like a pitch to

Pinta is the best for editing screenshots, I’d say.

At least camera and other sensors. It looks much better than other devices, though. What I meant is that compared to Android, the average user might not want a half-baked device.

But is this not needed with the so-called cloud systems?

First Retina MacBook Pros 13" were with 8 GB base memory. That was either 2013 or even 2012, so, yeah.

Looks like it is not. Unfortunately.

Backup strategy? What do you mean by that?

I thought there’s some sort of ‘adding this and that to the interface would make it actually pretty solid’ kind of thing. As I myself see this as promising, if it would be worked through. As the current implementation is just student (at be

Upon commenting, I removed the snarky part of the website being visually… well, bad. After all, FSF isn’t about design and aesthetics, right? But donate button not working demonstrates the whole seriousness of the effort.

Have you been around when iOS 7 was released? If not, I’d say that was the same, whatever that means. Things might get better, but we’re not entitled to it.

To me this feels like blah blah blah, but I’d love to be very wrong, of course.

I swear, before I finished reading your comment, this thought jumped into my mind: ‘oh my, they do host everything with a computer similar to my [pretty old by the way, but still beefy] for-work computer! Impressive!’ Which is, I still beli

You don’t because it’s not reasonable. It’s fun to play with (speaking from experience), but it’s not reasonable in day-to-day life. That’s why smartphones are so successful. That’s why we need to actually open platform.

My bet is that YOLO is the reason for Microsoft being unable to make the authenticator work on an older iOS.

And the average person would understand that as a non-issue. The issue is you need a developer account to distribute your app, and Google can censor you not explaining anything to you or others. The issue is Google being a gatekeeper. And t

Ditto! I try reading some silly things, play some old silly games (e.g. Warcraft, not arcades), or just watch some YouTube. But I don’t watch YouTube in my daily life, so I’m not addicted to it.

That’s precisely what I meant! I’m at my sixth year, I guess. Maybe longer, I’ve lost my count.

I had a side gig that involved me driving every day for at least one hour, but usually more. I listened to all kinds of podcasts and audio books. But at some point, I realised I cannot process that much of information. That’s how I stopped,

A small iPhone has pretty good cameras, e.g. 12 or 13 mini.

I researched this phone, and while being cool (I like the idea), it’s not practical for me to hunt it, it’s not trivial to buy in my area. However, I have a similar idea to others: an old tiny iPhone (4S or 5S if you can survive with the ob

I use Thunderbird everywhere, but I want to contribute this to the conversation: you don’t have to have your email client open all day long. I open my email client few times a day, and that’s it. I do the same with my chats, but with the ch

I’m in a similar position, but also I am so angry that none of the bugs from iOS 18, those I encounter daily with, none of them were addressed. Not even in the slightest. I am so sure there would be a proper release one day, but the plebs w

Hey, but the release of iOS 7 was the worst release in the entire history of iOS releases. At least my personal impression is so. This release completes with that. So I agree, sure thing, we can substitute iOS 7 for iOS 26, and it would be

On iPhone 12 mini, the battery life is incredibly worse. I was charging once a day, 30 → 70% usually, and now I’m charging all the time I have a chance. I’m not very active user, but each session of screen time reduces the battery significa

Also, I think they will work through bugs, but the losers with the older devices aren’t going to get it.
