I turn silent off when the home wifi connects. I don’t keep my phone on my pocket at home, but i also don’t allow notifications on most apps, and no noise or vibration on any notification.

I started to just leave when this happen. There are a lot of good people who follow the schedule properly, i take my business to them instead.

We are one old guy away from the first world i see

People are taught how to read. They can just go to the documentation and learn.

Yes, on classic fps you could spaw a console that will drop down from the top os the screen, some terminal emulators allow you to do that.

I like it because then i have the terminal always open that i just draw from the top of the screen with a keypress

On KDE i do that with Yakuake, and on gnome with tilix

I use quake style terminals, and often start writing a file and completely forget about it and turn off the computer, and only remember what i left behind when i find the random recovery files around, so :w a lot is quite useful for me.

You know that livestock needs to eat, right ? And they eat a ton of food, we spend a lot of resources just to produce their food, and about health, the healthy amount of meat is way less that people eat today, people should eat less meat, not everyone needs to stop, but they should reduce.

A top tube bag is quite useful for that, i got one quite cheap on aliexpress when my phone started to get annoying to carry on a bike.

Being able to remap keys is very important, but the thing is that this is basic functionality since forever.

It’s easier for the non tech savy person to keep in a working state, Android depending on the OEM and Windows come with a lot of bullshit that the average person don’t know how to uninstall and avoiding accumulation of bloatware, even simple things like unchecking a checkbox on an instalation wizard are a mystery for most people.

Apple restrictive environment ends up removing a lot of footguns.

Well, Apple uses a Unix like OS, that have a lot of nice things in common with Linux.

I agree that the school environment should be more motivating, but there’s no way to compete with apps and games designed to be addictive, even adults have trouble avoiding their phones at work.

Oppression breeds rebellion, why relying on a software you have zero control over, that the company that owns it respects you so litle that they pre install adware and spyware, learn to use Linux or BSD, you don’t have to use it all the time, but learn the basics, understand how this machine you use so much works, seize that litle piece of freedom back, and even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.

Marketing, and the fact that phones are now super boring, everything is web based, there’s no more cool apps, everything is just a frontend for some web service, or a damn webview.

The historical feature gap between Androids and iPhones is mostly gone, and since the tech doesn’t matter anymore, marketing can go a long way.

The article is also very us centric, in places where cost matters more, the iPhone is seen as a status symbol, just like every other thing that costs a lot for no reason.

I dont really like android. Symbian and even windows phones performed better on inferior hardware. Their weird lifecycle seems to me wasteful and blurs the line between what’s running or not. It only became stable once hardware got way better. It’s a shame that every other option failed. because the only thing worse than android is an apple controlled environment.

Nobody should trust companies with their privacy, especially when they always get away with lying and their tools are in no way auditable.

Subnautica, Yooka-Laylee, gta5, dishonored, they gave away a lot of good stuff.

You can use heroic, it is pretty good and supports epic, gog and amazon games, also setups proton/wine for you if you are not on win

No one should be forced to go to war, trying everything they can to escape it is understandable, the only bad thing is that this is something that only the rich can do, but in their place i would do the same.

Chrome is the new IE, some websites only work on it, and i keep chromium for the same reason i had ie back then, to be able to use those sites.
