I think the biggest argument against headphone jack taking up space is the existence of the Samsung Ultra with the Spen. Samsung has an excuse for the Ultra not having a headphone jack with the space dedicated to the Spen. But, most phones don’t have a built in stylus, so what’s the excuse for them. Not like phones have gotten tinier. How is the spen a technological possibility, but headphone is being made to be some technological difficultly that is more difficult to overcome?

Never had those problems of the phones with headphone jacks I’ve used. Feels like an exaggeration of problems being made like an infomercial.

Not like people really can these days. Options get even narrower if people start putting in settings they need like good software support and unlockable bootloader. Despite the many options there isn’t really a phone that doesn’t have some sort of concession to it despite the increasing price points.

Yeah, one of things that stood out was how much Apple tries to push signing into account too. And compared to Linux doesn’t seem like you can use their App store without logging in on MacOS compared to Linux App Store.

I wonder if that suggests that hardware made prior to that data doesn’t suffer from the same flaws? Or if it’s just an arbitrary cut off they decided on for the affected customers they would include in the lawsuit.

The complaint is seeking class-action certification on behalf of people who bought a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro, SanDisk Extreme, or Western Digital My Passport SSD that was “designed, manufactured, distributed, promoted and/or sold” since January 2023.

Looks like this is for people who’ve purchased the drives since January 2023. So does it not affect people from before?

You could at least explain why you avoid firefox, so the comment at least is more informative.

I’m waiting on Linux to get proper HDR support before being able to use one for TV use. Been waiting for that for years.

Yeah, I think there needs to be a push for less of these circle jerk posts. It seem more appropriate for a meme community than something that I at least assume is meant to be about more focused discussion about Linux than a Windows fixation.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand the dislike for snap.

One of the things I found annoying on reddit was when people would cry about getting downvote instead of making a comment without worrying about whether they got downvoted or not.

Making edits crying about getting downvoted or first saying I’ll probably be downvoted for this but… I really disliked those.

But, I will agree that it is preferable to leave a message explaining why someone disagrees rather than just downvoting. Whining about it is just as annoying though. If my instance let me downvote I’d downvote those comments even if I agreed.

Yeah, if they can’t even install steam how the hell do they even deal with getting non steam games to work on Linux, which can be a more involved process than install game and play.

It is surprisingly good at finding generic drivers. First time I actually had to get drivers manually for a printer in years was MacOS Ventura. And then for an old PC I had to get some custom drivers that worked on newer kernel for an old Nvidia card due to the generic one causing freezing.

Yeah, I genuinely do not understand having used Windows, Linux, and MacOS. They are making it sound like it’s trying to decipher some unknown language. Even a quick YouTube would have solved how to install a exe.

Yet you expect random people to know even more when you believe that? Go ask experts like your doctor or search out a university professor if you are that skeptical. Or are they untrustworthy too except for these random users on the internet who you know absolutely nothing about when it comes to their qualifications other than a background in social media usage.

Not like accounts are needed to be able to see content either, which is a plus even if the instance you use is defederated. I think it’s better to just see each instance like an old school forum. Sometimes you need to make another account to access a specific forum. Sometimes not if the forum has categories you are interested in already. So it’s like a way of going back to the old way of the internet where things are starting to get much more decentralized.

Modding KOTOR 1 and 2. The wiki guide was incredibly helpful. Also suggestions to use mod organizer for when modding Skyrim and Fallout games. Gunpla sub was helpful in finding out the tools needed to get started to make a nice snap build. Buildapc and buildapcsales all very helpful for finding deals and also helping with putting together a PC. Gamedeals helpful for finding game deals. There was some reddit sub that was helpful in finding what foam to get for replacing old couch cushions too I came across through search results long ago.

I like SeriesGuide for tracking shows and movies I watched, so I bought Series X unlock for it.

Other apps I’ve been happy with purchasing was swiftback up for backing up and restoring apps on rooted phones once Titanium Backup stopped getting supported.

Power Amp for listening to music.

1DM+ for downloading stuff from websites. It detects what are videos, pics, etc.

Hermit which makes lite apps. You can do that with Firefox or any browser for free, but I’ve liked hermit enough to get the pro version.

Got solid explorer and mixexplorer which are file managers.

Then there’s some decent games like Stardew Valley you could buy.

And when you don’t know what to spend it on you can donate money to some of the apps you bought, since some have in app options to send them donations.

People are trying to find new communities to subscribe to. New has been a good way to find them.

As for Reddit that’s what amazing browser extensions like RES and third party browsers like RiF were for to filter out content by blocking subs, keywords, urls, and flairs, which made /r/all a pretty pleasant experience over default.

No and I’d say diversity is worth over a homogenized society even if it comes at an increased chance of conflict. And it’s not like people who live in the same country and speak the same language don’t fight each other. People argue over mundane stuff like tv shows after all, and get into online wars and exoduses over social media platforms.

The peace you seek is probably only possible through massive brainwashing or an absolute privacy infringing totalitarian state that monitors everyone and is rapid in exterminating dissidents that are flagged for abnormal behavior.
