This reminds me of the quantum dot camera tech that apple bought and shelved. Invisage, they put out a short film called Prix and it looked amazing. Was pissed about that. The video has been taken off Youtube by the looks of it, this article still references https://petapixel.com/2015/10/26/prix-is-the-first-short-film-that-shows-the-power-of-a-quantumfilm-sensor/

I still have 6 months on my subscription - if I cancel I can keep using it until that time is up while I decide on a replacement?

People realise they can just stop viewing social feeds and the quality of life either doesn’t change or sometimes improves?

makes me think of Orchi *perhaps NSFW depending on your workplace

its not about making sense, there are plenty of system settings in the settings app. Moving to the setting app was about getting the minimum shippable set of settings into it, anything that is left in the control panel is there because it was high effort for them to untangle (or in some cases the expertise to untangle it is no long at Microsoft). They keep saying eventually the Control Panel will be retired, but its a long and expensive process

if they cherry picked Zen’s implementation of split tab, I’d consider going back

Motorola is supposed to be doing Graphene supported phones soon, whether thats from the factory or with an official installer I am not sure

but I’ve been standardising my library on AV1

As much as I have enjoyed all the spider-man titles and Horizon, if I have to buy a ps to play future installments, that’s going to be a no from me

Is there a reason for not being centrally distributed like on flathub and fdroid?

more in-between like Waterfox

is that one still owned by an advertising company?

odds are pretty good these days, and if you’re worried dont switch now, but next time you buy hardware buy it with the intention that you may switch and opt for some Linux friendly hardware, which is pretty simple - avoid nvidia and realtek (avoid realtek on windows too if I’m being honest), make sure things are compatible with standards.

why the hell aren’t people running this shit in isolated containers?

I get the impression a lot of people think that framework are a lot bigger than they actually are, in reality they are not much more than a start up

All I really need is calls, sms, a solid browser and some more robost messaging apps like signal and matrix/element - I’m a prime candidate for PostmarketOS if we ever get a stable piece of hardware. I have an old oneplus 6 that I’ve played with it on, its so close. If a flip phone could master that today, sure

I do use tap to pay, but meh I dont think I would miss it and android auto in my car could easily just be a bluetooth audio connection

I’m not sure why google is over engineering this, proper mainline distros have this solved since forever. Let the community setup trusted repos with gpg keys, then let me trust the repos. If Fdroid trusts the package and I trust Fdroid, who should care?

don’t stream, download your porn from usenet like a civilised person

Here in Australia, they are almost gone. Disney doesn’t release anymore and other studios only release the biggest of titles, smaller movies get less and less releases. Some TV shows only get DVD. Its got me importing discs for things I really want and importing a lot of stuff from the high seas

no one wants to sit in their office talking to their computer verbally, its fucking awkward. Its cool on star trek as a means of exposition and plot, but not in real life.

Start fixing the actual architecture issue of Windows. An immutable base system and modular containerised app workflow might be a start, but we already have that in every other operating system

I wasn’t trying to make them feel bad, I thought the absurdity was clear. I will mark it the an /s next time
