Solus. Snaps optional.

Honestly I thought it was an abbreviation for “for example” and probably used it one gazillion times 😅 now that I google it it seems like “e.g.” is what I was going for.

Idk which third party apps are compliant which aren’t? There is this one feg: https://f-droid.org/packages/it.belloworld.mercurygram/ Unlocks the premium app icons for free. https://f-droid.org/packages/nekox.messenger/ This one surely has a few premium features no? Unlimited accounts feg?

Personally I just use Telegramm-FOSS since years. Not sure what the actual differences to official client are at the moment, but this one is just fine and I’m never annoyed by premium feature ads like it seems to be the case for you.

I highly doubt that F-Droid team removes third party telegramm apps when they are against tos of telegramm. They are actually out there defending our freedom, even and especially when proprietary services do not want us to use Foss third party apps. Google does not want you to use third party apps for their services. F-Droid still out there publishing foss YouTube clients. Give them some credit instead of just assuming they suck up to big companies.

Yet another problem the free market will surely solve aaaaany minute now.

“See when I slap you in the face that’s actually a really nice thing of me to do. Because if I don’t slap you in the face I’d kick you in the groin really hard instead. Do you want to get kicked in the groin? No? That’s what I thought.”

A little niche, but I am really happy with solusos! It’s a small distro, so software availability is the biggest issue imo. But if what you need is available it beats every other distro out there for casual desktop use!

Imo dual boot can lead to issues if you got both os on one drive. In this configuration Windows tends to mess with the Linux partitions. But I never had any issues with one os per drive.

I invite everyone to have a critical look at the study. https://www.ascl.org.uk/ASCL/media/ASCL/Help and advice/Inclusion/Safer-scrolling.pdf

Personally, they lost me on page 12.

How can one “not get a good Android tablet”? You just… get one?

Sure but what does “enticing users to pay with adult content” mean?

As always: I’ll do what I have to to be able to play the online games I want to play. Linux for everything else.

Oh I must have skipped a line I thought they were talking about the brave search engine never mind.

No they are talking about the search engine.

Everyone take a step back and take a deep breath. Now, do you really believe elon removed an emoji from the built-in keyboard of your smartphone?

This is not an issue of Bluetooth itself. Some audio devices include too large caches (because in the early days not having interrupted audio was a bigger deal than having video and audio synchronized), but you get Bluetooth audio devices just using the default SBC codec that don’t have any noticeable delay. Using codecs like aptx adaptive fully solves the problem.

The reason you don’t see BT gaming headsets is not latency, it’s Bluetooth missing a proper mode to submit audio in high quality bidirectionally. Long story short: when you got high quality sound on your headphones, the mic of your headset is not in use. When the mic is in use, the quality of the headphones is reduced to basically telephone call quality.

There have been technologies trying to work around that, most important would probably be faststream, but it never really caught on. It’s pretty
obscure still, you have to take care that all the devices and software you want to use support it, so I guess it’s just easier and cheaper to get a dedicated wireless gaming headset with dedicated USB dongle.

At least since BT 5.0 I read stories that BT will be able to support gaming headsets aaaaany day now but well, nothing for now.

Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new “features”.

Unix philosophy. 50 years old idea. Imo devs would love to work that way but they are never the ones making decisions. And every CEO wants to have the new everything app ala wechat.

As always: Dual sim, dedicated microsd slot, headphone jack, big battery and as a bonus ois on main camera. Won’t buy a new phone until one checking those boxes comes out. If I am lucky removable batteries will be mandatory by then!

Don’t do one of those “5vs1” interventions! All it will do is make your friend think you are “ganging up” on him. Talk with him one on one, make your other friends do the same with some time in between.

Use grapheneos, lineageos or something similar. Those contain the AOSP keyboard instead of the google keyboard.

Yes and it’s incredibly annoying to me. More. Some houses cost more than Indian space agency spent on getting to the moon.
