Rich pedophiles really will close entire stores, losing 100% of profits from them, rather than let them unionize, losing potentially 5% of profits short-term.

Yuzu, Citrus.

Still cis though.

When I hear ‘mainstream phone’, in my mind I picture an iPhone or a Samsung. So yeah, Linux phones are definitely not achieving that this decade. Though personally I don’t think they necessarily need to, at all.

Point 4 is probably not happening any time soon, if ever, either. Rest is slowly being done and progressing, so I’m not seeing any major problems there.

I don’t think anyone realistically expects a Linux phone to compete with an iPhone in terms of ease of use, quality of life features or UI/UX. As far as I’ve seen, people just want a decent phone with basic functionalities like long battery life, good camera, easy to use and smooth UI, maps and navigation. All while being more private and secure, of course.

Linux phones have already been around for many years. Right now we’re very close to Linux phones that are usable on a daily basis. Not as close to decent Linux phones, of course, but with the right (not at all unrealistic) resources it could be completely within reach in a year or two.

Also, Flatpaks exist and work pretty much just like Android apps.

Uh-oh…

Instructions unclear. Wrote my contact address as Pyongyang and now I’m getting emails in Korean.

This is the kind of successful entrepreneur we’re supposed to be looking up to, people.

The moment you realize it’s sometimes profitable for corporations to actively waste resources, it becomes clear that our current economic system is incompatible with environmental care.

The losses on the American/Israeli side are so low they need to censor any publicly available information. Truly nothing to see here. In fact, they’re doing you a favour by saving the time you would have wasted looking for damage done by Iran that clearly doesn’t exist!

American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

You mean lobbies the government to ban Chinese EVs, because they have no means of competing whatsoever? Free market for me, but not for thee.

ethical hackers

Now all we need is for some unethical ones to hack them into bankruptcy.

Thanks for the reminder that suicide is a preferable alternative to living in the USA.

I’ve been gaming pretty much exclusively on Linux (and Steam Deck) for the last few years. No issues so far. What problems did you run into?

Ah yes, USA - the country with the most strict anti-piracy laws, also responsible for forcing them onto the EU. I’m sure it’ll happily defend piracy from supposed attacks on free speech.

Personally I tried using LLMs for reading error logs and summarizing what’s going on. I can say that even with somewhat complex errors, they were almost always right and very helpful. So basically the general consensus of using them as assistants within a narrow scope.

Though it should also be noted that I only did this at work. While it seems to work well, I think I’d still limit such use in personal projects, since I want to keep learning more, and private projects are generally much more enjoyable to work on.

Another interesting use case I can highlight is using a chatbot as documentation when the actual documentation is horrible. However, this only works within the same ecosystem, so for instance Copilot with MS software. Microsoft definitely trained Copilot on its own stuff and it’s often considerably more helpful than the docs.
