I mean I’d love to buddy. When someone releases a phone with all the modern features I want and the best processor and a repairable battery (or any other of the consumer friendly practices we all want) I’ll buy it. But don’t act like I’m choosing to not get the ideal phone when it doesn’t exist. It’s compromises everywhere.
No word on if it’s coming to the EU :(
My pixel 6 is dying and I’d like to get something for graphene or another less monopolized distro but there’s no support for phones released this year as far as I can tell from most distros so I’m looking for one more normal phone until hopefully that ecosystem is better off.
Even the new pixels look weak from several angles It was hard to get want them after all the reviews came in.
Idc, so thanks for the work. Followed there.
Which is totally valid… And also the entire point of my comment. This video had Linus Torvalds in it, giving a pretty decent interview, while building a Linux PC and this thread was nothing but hate. Literally no appreciation for the positive impact LTT was having in a community that, at least on paper, should be over the moon.
I don’t see much Torvalds stuff on camera, so this was nice. I’m not asking people to like LTT, it’s just the dialogue around them on reddit and Lemmy feels extremely immature and outspoken and in this instance felt detrimental to the space and the supposedly shared hobby.
LTT was a big supporting factor for why I degoogled and switched to Linux when I did. It was partially because of their work I jumped over to self-hosting, open source, or other less “evil corpo” apps.
I’m not really interested in defending the channel or the guy, especially in areas so polluted with hate for the guy, but there’s no way they were paid by Microsoft to slander Linux and tbh I never took their Linux videos as overly critical or completely thorough examinations of the Linux experience. Idk, just feels like over exaggeration on the part of people who have too much fear a bit of non-perfect coverage will hurt their darling product.
God damn the LTT hate is huge in this channel. I don’t really get it, but shit you guys really don’t like a tech review channel.
When I posted this, there wasn’t a single comment about the actual interview with Linus Torvalds. That’s a crazy amount of vitriol.
Why make this comment encouraging bad behavior? This feels like injected negativity for negativity sake. Idk man, be the change you want to see in your community.
It says there are 200 comments but I can see 2. So my 2 cents, jump onto the easiest instance you can. For me, that was .world. Get on the boat, then reassess when you have more time.
The first jump, reddit to Lemmy, is the hardest. The second is super easy in comparison.
Fair enough, I just like to establish a pattern of bad behavior and Lemmy provides the tools for me to passively track assholes so I share when I can.
I do have this person (Endymion) tagged as “Anti-immigrant” just as an PSA.
Running arch Linux KDE on Wayland with a 4090. Not a single issue graphically in the last year.
Would also highly recommend kombucha.
Cold, fizzy, relatively healthy as it’s mostly tea by default with probiotics, and you can change up the flavor. The default is kinda tart and vinegary, but then you add (or buy) fruit or herb flavors and you can really find what you personally love.
I don’t know how many people have watched SG-1 recently but my wife and I just watched the movie and the first like 8 episodes for the first time in the last two months and… It was not good. The tech made no sense, the plot often times made no sense, the characters were very 90’s television, and of course there was a lot of racial, sexism, xenophobia embedded or explicit in each episode.
I’m happy people enjoyed it in its time, and if you still watch it and like it that’s fine. But I wouldn’t recommend this show to anyone young or that I know personally cause it wasn’t good.
Stargate felt like it lacked the philosophical core that other sci-fi shows at the time (or before) had and didn’t have the sci-fi down really either. It was mostly “look at these lesser earth based cultures”, “nerds are so annoying”, “cool military guys are just built different”. Coming off of Babylon 5 which had like Worker rights episodes or nearly any season of early Star Trek, SG-1 felt hollow. I’m surprised people like Stargate as much as they do.
Arc Raiders runs flawlessly on Linux.
Arch.
No steps required.
Protondb exists for a reason.
Thanks for this. I’m happy to know it’s still passable for you. Just sad to know they couldn’t keep it up. Unbelievable that they wouldnt approve 4 seasons or front the cash for good set design.
The acolyte was terrible from the first episode. The plot was bad, the characters were bad, it was barely grounded in Star Wars as an actual IP - meaning the IP could have come after the story was written it felt so irrelevant. Like it’s not just “we just fumbled the details and somewhere along the way a good thing got broken” it was big picture stuff in so many scenes. Like palpatine returning and creating death star ships and dying to lightning again doesn’t happen because a good script and good teams attempted to make a good film and something got mistranslated eventually, it was flawed from the start. Which is as upsetting as it is, for me personally at least, because the IP is a slam dunk gold mine of easy to tell and rewarding stories. I can’t even imagine being handed a 2 billion dollar easy payday to make a trilogy and having no artistic opinions about what is going to happen and what it’s going to mean.
I’m ranting again. Whoops. I could believe YouTubers have outweighted influence on a film’s production. I do not believe anyone involved in the Acolyte, especially higher ups who should be able to steer their own boat, could convince me that was what went wrong with that show.
A mature series about how the Sith convert people, even do some good via evil means, and make a case for why characters like Maul and Dooku and Ventress were converted would be fantastic. In fact Dooku has had some good development in the animated world showing a bit as to why and how he turned. There’s a gameplay trailer for a character I do not know, showing them being influenced by a powerful sith, and it’s compelling enough for what it is. Like, it’s clearly the rights holders are not artists or fans and the structures at play do not allow a good thing to be produced with any meaningful regularity. The only star wars rule nowadays seems to be the thing is bad from the start or, if it was surprisingly good, it will get run into the ground ASAP.
Oh no. I haven’t watched season 2 yet.
Are you telling me they took the home run, slam dunk, unbelievably good setup they had for Season 1 and fumbled it in season 2? I’ve specifically avoided spoilers and reviews cause we’re going to watch it regardless given how good season 1 was.
Without spoilers, what made season 2 bad? Was it the same thing with Mando where they completely lost the plot in order to sell different characters and toys? Or…?
I can’t say for certain what their official position is, but I’ve been playing on arch with friends who are also on arch and we’ve been having no issues. So right now it works. I believe the devs have been very clear about wanting to maintain Linux support forever, although I don’t have a source so take that for what it is. I also believe they’ve said they are not targeting the steam deck as a viable platform, although if you can or can’t I’m not certain.
Based on their support for the Finals, the general growth of Linux, and steam’s consistent work to make it all compatible I’m pretty confident in saying this game will likely be Linux friendly for its lifetime.
I think that’s a great idea.
It’s comments like this that make me worried about literacy rates and reading comprehension.
I want to replace my Pixel with a cutting edge phone that is user friendly, repairable, highly private, has all the features I like, and whose company is owned by its workers and not evil.
That phone doesn’t exist.
So now we talk priorities. With Google looking to close down android, I want something more open than stock android. My options are very limited. Graphene only works on the pixel line and not even the newest pixels, which are very underwhelming, so that’s not a great fit. LineageOS doesn’t seem to support any new phones albeit I didn’t cross reference every phone. The nothing phone, and every other competitor, seems lackluster as well.
So I’ve resigned to settling for any phone that’s cutting edge. If this is going to hopefully be my last mega evil corpo phone, I’ve been flirting with going with multiple screens because I doubt in 3 years there will be a non-corpo folding phone option if the normal slabs are still struggling. Samsung only “comes to mind”, and this might surprise or confound you, because we’re commenting on a thread about a Samsung phone.
If anyone has better recommendations for a last corpo phone out now or on the horizon, I’m all ears. And if someone wants to try and convince me there’s a great phone out there that can run a non-stock OS and still be a largely enjoyable experience I’m also ready to be wow’ed. But I’ve looked around a bit and failed to find anything.
