I just got a new Pixel 7a a few days ago. I specifically got that one to get the smallest of the bunch. It’s advertised as the smallest (and cheaper) model, phone size comparisons showed it to be indeed smaller than most competing devices and it’s even listed in some “best small phones” lists....
I hope somebody has a better answer for you but I think it’s just that the world has decided that one has to use two hands to operate a Smartphone now. I’d love a phone with a 5" screen but it looks like we are a (vocal) minority that’s not profitable to serve?
Sounds good but there isn’t any consumer equipment that can handle 2GB/s. Even 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches are super expensive and I don’t think we have anything that can do more than 10Gb/s in the consumer Networking space at all .
As somebody who likes using the terminal I too have mostly stopped using dd and use gnome disks instead. Getting the rightdd flags to get the best performance and progress indicators is a challenge to Google every time.
I downloaded StreetComplete to contribute to OSM and on f-droid.org/en/…/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ it warns you that “This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service”. I’m not super concerned about that and will still try out StreetComplete but i was just wondering what non-free network...
I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do...
Hey I have never contributed to OSM and I just looked at f-droid.org/en/…/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ on fdroid and there is a warning about “This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service”. Do you know which non-free network this is referring to?
GPT3 is 800GB while the entirety of the English Wikipedia is around 10GB compressed. So yeah it doesn’t store evey detail of everything but LLMs do memorize a lot of things verbatim. Also see bair.berkeley.edu/blog/2020/12/20/lmmem/
After only 3 short years my Google Pixel 4A is EOL. It still works perfectly fine, but since our entire lives run through our phones I don’t feel safe trusting my bank accounts and so on to a phone without security updates. I feel like I wasn’t quite aware how short the supported time would be when i bought it....
I like the idea of a Linux Phone. I don’t know much about it. My bank’s 2FA probably wouldn’t be supported on that and i do need to have WhatsApp because it’s the default mode of communication for everybody that’s not deeply into privacy, right? What DE would you recommend?
I wonder if there are any technical reasons with maybe ActivityPub that old posts might have to eventually be archived?
But I enjoy the idea of never archiving or at least keeping posts open for a long time like 10 years. I’m not sure why but there is something special aboaut old threads being revived or kept alive. I had this one comment on Reddit where I purchased a product and months and years later people would still respond asking if it was still working or if I’d still recommend it. This I is like “The internet never forgets” but in a good way.
New Pixel 7a user... am I not "getting" it?

Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently) (www.omgubuntu.co.uk)
A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.
The Pixel 4A will stop receiving security updates in August. New phone suggestions?
