butter,

10 years ago was the time to start, too.

Imagine a Linux-like OS for mobile as a reasonable 3rd mobile operating system. People would run it and seem weird like when people run Linux on their laptop nowadays. 1-2% market share. Basically nothing is native to it but a handful of open source apps, but waydroid would be more complete. That would be beautiful.

Shoot. Imagine a reasonably new phone running something Linux with a shell laptop that lets you properly converge. Linux has the best ARM support because basically anything can be complied.

Literally 1984

butter,

AI is broad enough that it does include those features.

But it’s probably referring to machine learning.

butter,

This seems like a meme made by Rhino as a thinly veiled attempt to advertise

butter,

Google got jealous of iMessage and remade iMessage, but Android with the promise of making it more open.

They haven’t followed through on ‘more open’ until just now.

Rcs officially works on 2 apps. iMessage still has just 1.

But hopefully Rcs will actually become open in the future. Allowing anyone to make an Rcs app, like they can with SMS

butter,

The point is getting adoption. Especially in the US, where people actually use iPhone, no one wants to download a second app because iMessage is ‘good enough’ 99% of the time.

I used to love Bryant Gardener when he was The Linux gamer.

But since the announcement of the steam deck, his view has narrowed far too much. He hasn’t made a non deck video in like a year.

butter,

Probably because they wouldn’t be as profitable.

HP could sell like a tenth the printers and still make more money

butter,

Another day, another chat service.

butter,

Did that in my high school. Turned on Thomas the Train.

I was a rebel. They unplugged the TV after that

Or have they?

butter,

I went Debian without a Desktop for my server. I later installed a desktop for the occasion that I need it. But mostly, I use SSH

butter,

Why would telegram be the solution? Centralized, not particularly private, not open to other standards.

butter,

I believe it was this tool that I used after I bought an app to them install the app on a phone that didn’t have Google Play. I turned an installed app into an APK and copied it to another phone.

I wish this was a haiku

butter,

Skyrim came out in 2011, sir

butter,

If you want to play this game and t it’s telling you it’s in early access.

The image on apkpure is good. It’s an xapk. Find an APK installer that can handle xapk and it should work.

butter,

I also do keepassxc, dx on Android, and syncthing to keep them updated. What is it you paid for?

Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?

Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...

butter,

Only correct answer.

butter,

Unless you pirate.

Or buy it in a one time payment.

In fact, you’re pretty much the product in every one of these examples, even if you pay

butter,

Depending how into computers you are, you can get pretty fancy with your setup.

I run slskd on my home computer, through a VPN and access it through the Internet by domain

butter,

You’d take a hit to camera quality. Get a phone case you wouldn’t have to worry.

butter,

You might check out privacy guides instead of privacy tools. Basically, the owner of privacy tools wouldn’t make changes that the community wanted, causing privacy guides to be formed.

Read both, form your own opinion. I don’t like how tools has what amounts to ads on it.

I have the itch: Distrohopping - MakuluLinux – A Whole World of Possibilities (www.makululinux.com)

I have an itch to test out some deb-based distributions. I use OpenSUSE. Although I don’t want to switch distributions, I do want to experiment with some new feature-rich distros. I discovered this distribution MakuluLinux which appears to have numerous personalized desktops and a strong AI integration. Rhino Linux, which has...

What’s slackware

butter,

I played Wii bowling on my steam deck. Using Dolphin, a Wii mote connected through Bluetooth, and a USB sensor bar. Then just a dock to put it on the TV and charge it.

Only thing that gave me trouble was the speaker in the Wii mote.

butter,

Disagree. It takes very little time to pirate something. Anything.

Also, there are a lot of numbers between 0 and 60 that someone may be willing to pay to play a game. But for a modern game with DLC and stuff, more like 120.

butter,

I should clarify, I haven’t pirated a game since prototype 1. At least a game that I could buy. I have pirated games I have emulated, but this is clearly a different thing.

You can also use pirating to send a message. If a company does something really bad, like loot boxes or micro transactions, you can pirate take money they likely got from someone who’s addicted to gambling.

Mood

butter,

Pokemon go chugged on that thing. I ran it alongside my oneplus 8 for a while, and I promise it wasn’t running perfectly.

Nevermind that the oneplus 8 ran at 50% higher fps.

butter,

Those are some… odd specs.

1TB NVME, OLED with an Intel N CPU?

butter,

You could have a decent experience. Take away the NVME, even with an m.2 ssd, and the oled and bring that price down into the 400-600 range.

Hell, put an arm CPU and keep those other specs and stay in that range

butter,

They won’t open the api. Anyone else who tries to make one would be starting from scratch. Including with a server

[Discussion] With the recent rumors of a possible hardware refresh, what are your most hoped for changes in an updated Steam Deck?

In the leaked info, we know that Valve has an upcoming device that will use the same APU as the current Steam Deck. We don’t know if this will be a new VR headset or a Steam Deck hardware refresh. Even though using the same APU means there won’t be a performance increase, there could be various other improvements in an...

butter,

There’s nothing that would make me get a half upgrade like that. But I would like to see improvements toward a steam deck 2. If this gets an oled screen, I’d like to see a model in number 2 with an oled screen

butter,

Sorta. I would argue the face on a human is used to distinguish a human from another human in the same way the top of a flower is used.

It’s the main thing you look at. It’s roughly in the same spot.

The sex stuff is more inside

butter,

I know right. What’s Spotify’s goal with this move

butter,

Skip Lidarr for your initial move. Use Deemix. You can find links to premium ARLs on the wiki or with a google search (or DM me).

Deemix has an option to sign in with your Spotify account and download playlists. There’s a weird song count limit, and you may have to manually hit some tracks. But this is the way.

You can also do Flac with this setup. You don’t necessarily need it, but if you’re making the move, I recommend it. Since Flac is lossless, there’s never going to be an upgrade.

butter,

Also, if you’re up for the self-hosted life, what comes next is a music server. If you have good access to WiFi or unlimited data, this eliminates storage as a bottle neck. I recommend Navidrome. But something like Jellyfin or Plex can do Movies and TV, if you want a 1 size fits all.

If you’re not, look into Syncthing. You chose a folder on your computer and one on your phone and this app keeps them in sync. After that, my favorite player was GoneMad. It’s offline, with real support for music tags. This allowed song ratings and real smart playlists

butter,

So someone can ignore the ads, ignore not being able to chose a song, and ignore no download. But having to open musixmatch in a separate app is the straw that broke the camels back

butter,

What’s it called

butter,

It can be argued that the libreoffice dude is providing a service. If you were deeply invested in the windows ecosystem, with most of your apps coming from the store and you also have like 20 windows computers, buying it for $10 is totally worth it.

1 click install and auto updates being the advantage. Not to mention a centralized way to make sure all your machines are running the same version.

It’s not like it’s a subscription or per machine license.

butter,

This is entirely on the companies. There’s no technical reason or requirement for this happening.

Fdroid works great and is the most likely thing to be adopted, in my opinion. It’s easy enough for anyone to spin up their own fdroid server and distribute their own app.

If you’re wanting to use a new store, you’re going to have to wade through the growing pains of adoption. It’s just a fact of life.

butter,

I didn’t pre order. I waited for review embargo to lift, then I bought it today.

This isn’t “early access”, this is Bethsda squeezing money out of game pass subscribers

butter,

Microsoft is not freedom. It’s vendor locking.

butter,

Browsers will never have a higher requirement. It’s the particular websites that will use newer technologies that older browsers may not support.

It may not be a mainline browser, but there’s no reason you couldn’t grab a new browser made to allow your currently out of date phone to use newer features, or at least the features your phone supported at launch. A cursory search on fdroid showed at least 1 browser with a requirement of android 4.4+.

The main thing to remember is that every website doesn’t take more power or newer technologies than the last. It’s only very specific situations where anything will need more power than something had 5 years ago. 99% of my apps could run on anything probably just fine. Email, Music, Audiobooks, VPN, 2FA etc. Most of those probably have security checks requiring a minimum OS version. Meaning they would actually work for longer on a phone with longterm OS updates than a phone that’s much stronger.

With the obvious exception being games. But I would never recommend thinking long term about games in any circumstance.

butter,

My phone is 2 years old for me. I bought a oneplus 8 refurb in 2020 for Christmas. Unlocked and outright. I got it because my Galaxy S9 before that was Verizon locked, and I just got off my parent’s phone plan. Verizon is very expensive.

I’ll still use my old phone from time to time. Mainly for dual account Pokemon Go, or plug it up to a TV to watch something that doesn’t support cast, like Newpipe.

I’ll keep this phone as long as I can. It’s on its last update, though. I’ll use LineageOS when I can.

butter,

If you’re looking for a round about solution, you can use whatever IPTV provider and link it to your Jellyfin.

This only makes any sense if you’re already using Jellyfin, of course

butter,

Fun fact. The Wii 2 was called the Wii u because the Japanese word for 2 is ‘ni’.
