Cool. Now use the data to get them all blacklisted on dating sites, that should reestablish some semblance of balance.

Who hurt you?

greybeards dunking on you because you’re not a “real” linuxer

Oh, right. I see.

They’re like Cylons

THERE ARE MANY COPIES

AND THEY HAVE A PLAN

androids can’t do base distro’s anymore?

I’ll be honest, I never tried. Seeing that there are projects working independently to bring Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch to Android, I’d guess no? Plus I know you can run any distro in an emulator within Android systems, but that feels more like a curiosity.

Shocker! Good for them, course literature costs a literal fortune.

So, 15 years later we’re worse off than then? Argh.

Out of curiosity, was it “just” a plain Debian system, or did it support touch screen and phone service?

I didn’t bother clicking through, so grain of salt — wouldn’t torrent indexers and search sites also be included in this many site blocks? Streaming sites seems to be the lowest hanging fruit.

This message doesn’t say anything about the validity of your license, though. Or am I missing something?

I’m not up to date on Windows versions, but saying Win 11 has reached end of service is… unexpected?

Ew, blooskie.

You say “chance”, I read “intent” 🤷 Mainstream isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

While true, covering up fundamental faults to keep afloat is hardly an example of best practice.

Exciting! Hoping the RC process is short for this version 🤞🤞🤞

No, it’s only code and pixels 🙂

For your last question, there’s the Lemmy terminal viewer — I think it’s unmaintained, but it’s a start?

Ah, tech journos…

Ubuntu Touch [is] a great choice if you seek an alternative that prioritizes privacy and open-source ideals.

But

One area that has improved is Google account synchronization. While it’s not flawless, it’s easier to sync services like Gmail and Calendar than it was before.

🤦 I don’t think he fully grasps that Google is the main reason to use a more private OS than (stock) Android.

Nope. He explicitly only praises battery life in that parapgraph. He experienced some performance issues in his (old) test device:

Ubuntu Touch shines in battery life (at least in my experience). Since the OS is lighter and uses fewer system resources, many users report better battery performance than on Android. Ubuntu Touch is optimized to reduce unnecessary background processes, making your phone last longer on a single charge. However, if you push the OS with more demanding tasks, you may still run into performance issues, especially on older hardware.

So fork the latest enshittifree release, setup your own web app, pretend nothing has changed?

Marktext does this for me, can’t compare 100% to Obsidian as I’ve rage uninstalled that several times within an hour of installing it.

Thanks for clearing that up 🙂 Still, migrating all your locked-in reviews or whatever to the Fediverse is a pretty big deal for compulsive opinion-havers!

…but at some point those giant sites may go offline. I see the point of archiving them now for posterity, but you’re right. The archive shouldn’t be used as a concurrent mirror of those sites for privacy reasons.

I have my browser set up to redirect Reddit links to libreddit instances for that purpose.
