Yeah if 4 people uninstalled the program last time, and 6 people uninstalled it this time, that’s a 150% increase from last time.

I accept your reality and add it to my own.

Pixelfed I think? Though it’s developed by the same guy as whatever the Instagram clone is called so it’s been kind of slow to become usable?

I will assert that, again, for most people, instead of computers remaining at the same TDP but increasing vastly in processing power, they would have been fine with the same processing power at vastly decreased TDP. Look at how long people held onto Win 7, and how long they held onto Win XP before that. Because they were fine, possibly better than the new offering, especially since you already owned it. Some time around 2012, anyone who wasn’t a power user ran out of reasons to get excited for new computers.

Don’t we have that?

That tracks.

I’m 100% okay with how my Samsung Galaxy handles it: You access the Developer mode by pressing on the phone info screen in the settings for several seconds, and then there’s a switch that allows execution of random .apk files.

“Yes, do as I say.”

For most people, computers became powerful enough around the year 2005. A machine from late in the Windows XP era could run 3D games, CAD software, edit video, communicate with the entire world through broadband internet. What abilities have PCs taken on since? So much processing power filled up by doing the same tasks less efficiently for no reason.

This Lemmy comment will be performed in the voice of that fat British guy on Youtube shorts that talks about marketing

You see, the problem with marketing it as a “second phone” is that you’re implying that it’s too shit to be someone’s first phone. Or that you’ve chosen to do something to it that would make it impossible to live with.

I remember in 2018, Verizon started offering a tiny little Android phone branded as a Palm of all things, and that small but vocal minority who insist they want small phones started clamoring for it only to be told that it’s a “companion device” and you still had to have another device active on that line. It cost $350 plus $10 a month on top of another device and plan.

There was essentially no one on earth who wanted a special phone they only used to take to the gym with them, they refused to sell it to people who specifically wanted it, and so it didn’t sell well, to say the least.

I’d rather have T9 than swiping. T9 actually worked.

My smart phone has 6GB of RAM. I’ve managed.

What was it, the G in GTK stands for GIMP, and the G in GIMP stands for GNU, and the G in GNU stands for GNU, and…

In a corporation that size? Yeah it’s entirely performative.

Once again I say, “Oh no!”

It is my understanding that sh.itjust.works is hosted on hardware that is in The_Dude’s physical possession, so I think we could manage.

Now let’s be clear here: I’m only inciting violence. My person committing violence may or may not occur, your honor/ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

I used Cinnamon as a daily driver for ten years, I’ve still got Mint Cinnamon on my laptop, and Fedora KDE on my desktop.

KDE offers Wayland with all its bells and whistles ready to go, but Fedora is the second worst operating system I’ve ever operated. There’s a lot of shit that doesn’t run on it. .rpm is a complete joke compared to .apt, it’s just a shame that Ubuntu is such a joke compared to Fedora. Frankly this might be the perfect time in history to take a fire axe to everything more technologically advanced you own than a wall and go roll around in the mud.

You remember a few years ago when some random town in North Carolina made the national news because some Proud Boys shot out the substation because there was a drag show at a local downtown theater?

I’m from there.

What I learned in those four days without refrigeration or air conditioning is that substations aren’t bulletproof.

Whose this “you” you refer to? XD

Oh no!
