comment it with some bullshit about avoiding race conditions

Lmao, amazing

But that’s pretty much exactly what this is? Just some random unlockable phone with rebadged lineage on it…

Maybe some of them are, but I think most of the down votes are just from people who recognise this as an obvious scam

Why? It’s pretty much just dropshipping some year old low end chineseum phone with rebranded lineageos. I could probably do that by April starting now…

Can you fiddle up a weird black screen with lots of $ and # symbols? Yes, its a Unix and its probably Linux.

You heard it here first folks, windows is a Unix and probably Linux!

The SPD has zero incentive to roll over

And yet they do it every time

They have extremely similar laws in Switzerland

Their confidence intervals overlap…

Generically, two things can be wrong at the same time, sure, but here the two things aren’t independent. If we “can blame the DNC for several things: ignoring constituents, skipping primaries, etc.” then we are saying that that is the cause of people not voting for them, which is how trump got reelected.

You can definitely get a week worth of groceries for that in the UK or Europe. Nothing fancy, only ingredients, but good nutritional food and enough of it.

I have seen a lot of people blame “the voters” or people who didn’t vote or whatever, and that is often to a degree which implicitly absolves the DNC for their role in alternating them. Can’t really have it both ways.

95, lol, the percentages are there on the screen

Stop spreading misinformation, Switzerland is fully in Schengen since 2008.

No, I don’t think that’s sustainable, nor is it sustainable to act as if it were true. Given the lack of resources we have compared to Google or Meta et al., the only way to make it work is to stick with something for the long run, and bake in protections in both the technology and the organisational structure. Being opensource and federated goes a long way there, there’s no real reason why something not for profit would have to enshittify. But people won’t put in the effort to keep building it if they think that’s inevitable.

If you use arch (btw) it still does

Cars’ buttons need to be used while preferably not looking at them, that’s a pretty different situation to a smartphone

Sales tax, has different acronyms in different countries such as Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST)…

If you already don’t use Google apps, and your bank app doesn’t ban graphene, there shouldn’t be any issues at all tbh

Fairphone would need to substantially modify their hardware to make that work

This reminds me of the (probably apocryphal) Mozart quote where a student asked him to teach them how to write a symphony, and was told “start with something more simple and short, for one instrument”. The student complained “but you have been writing symphonies since you were a child!”. The reply: “yes, but I didn’t have to ask how”.

The application of this idea here is that for someone to know the requirements for their system to the degree that they can really be sure that the most typical suggestions are not sufficient for them, they probably have to understand how the kernel handles swap and RAM to an extent that they don’t really need to ask this question.

People are very ready to assume that their system is way out of the ordinary, but it probably isn’t.
