Not a single gram of brain

This was a grapheneos feature before it was an iOS one.

It’s purely anecdotal but every time I’ve used an Ubuntu based distro it has been unstable or it nuked itself after 6 months to a year of use. I’ve been on fedora for 2-3 (4?) years now and I’ve not had a single issue apart from the Nvidia drivers behaving wonky sometimes.

Depends on the voltage, the max for planes is 100Wh

Hahahahahaha my digital footprint is crazy

???

Maybe it was me idk

It would be fine IF iOS allowed other app stores to compete with their own. This is why it’s fine when steam does it, because the game developers can always go to GOG or Epic or itch if they want

I know this is “buy European”, but In North America JMP.Chat is your answer (from memory they are Canadian). It uses XMPP for the client, so you can sign in using their official android app, or you can use any XMPP client, which there are for any basically imaginable platform. Their onboarding and setup wasn’t the most intuitive or straightforward when I used it (in 2021 maybe?) but it’s still not too bad if you’re minimally competent with computers. It’s open source too so you can audit everything they do! They are also over here on lemmy: https://lemmy.ml/c/sopranica

I think there is also Sudo privacy, but I’m not sure where they are from

didn’t know Android studio changed the gitignore file reference, that’s good to know. Good to see it’s already resolved, I just wanted to make sure you were aware

Not sure if it’s been done already, but your sentry token is still visible in the latest commit, you should probably revoke it

Gboard is such a good keyboard it’s such a shame it’s made by Google

Nvidia users having to shutdown anyway because the computer will hang when trying to put it to sleep:

It was a terrible experience, every software update broke an important feature, without exception. For example, once, casting was broken for 2-3 months. The Zenfone 8 also had issues with the phone randomly bricking itself with no way to recover (hardware defect that affected the batches from 2021-04 to 2021-05) without ever issuing a statement or recall, they just did warranty replacements. Then there’s the phone itself, it’s okay I guess, but the cameras kinda suck and the display is calibrated like shit with various color shifts when changing the brightness and refresh rate modes. Also back to the software, you get 2 years, and during that second year, you get an update every 2 months. And not to forget that their oem app quality is dogshit and looks and feels like they are from 2015.

So basically the Zenfone’s only selling point/reason to get one was the small size from the 8 to 10. But now they’ve essentially gotten rid of it, so you’re left with a generic phone that has shit updates, shit customer support, potentially shit hardware, shit software quality, and that can no longer be bootloader unlocked, even though they promised multiple times that bootloader unlock was coming back soon™️ (they said that in 2023)

Never again, Asus

Still mad at Asus for what they did to the bootloader unlock. Terrible terrible company making terrible phones with terrible software. Definitely won’t go back to zenfones ever again

It’s rare that I see something this false on here, damn. Nvidia does supply Linux drivers and they are 95% painless nowadays (still much worse than what is found in Mesa for Amd or Intel, but the bar is high). Intel has excellent Linux support, better than AMD in some cases (think wifi chips). Anectdonally, I have had a bit of issues with my Amd laptop, and the flaws were all related to the integrated GPU!

Apple don’t guarantee software support but generally it’s between 5-6 years of support, with some models going to 7. Samsung and Pixels now have a guaranteed 7 years, which in my book is even better than apple because it’s a guarantee. And on top of that, it means that for pixels, you get 7 years of Graphene OS support!

Never was able to try mint, I only did once but the installer didn’t work for some reason, probably Nvidia related so I don’t blame mint for it.

Oh wow yeah I had forgotten about the grub update, the only way to not have a bricked computer was to be active in the arch communities because they didn’t remove the faulty package even though it was known to brick computers

The level of disillusion in the thread is insane. At no point in time is it a good idea to recommend Arch and it’s derivatives to Linux newbies. They will 100% wreck their install in the first two weeks. Even I, as a pretty experienced user had to wipe my arch install after failed update attempts, luckily I had a separate home partition. Anything else like fedora or tumbleweed will provide packages that are very up to date, but that are also tested. For example I don’t fear that updating my fedora install will completely brick the networking of my system like what happened to me on arch.

Ironically I wouldn’t recommend any Ubuntu derivatives as for some reason, every single time I’ve installed Ubuntu or one of its variants like PopOS they ended up messed up in some way or another, albeit never as critical as Arch did to me numerous times. Probably some kind of PPA issues that make the system weird because it’s always the fault of PPAs
