- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 hours ago:
E/os is just android.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki//e/_(operating_system)
I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.
It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.

Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?

Doesn’t this thing just run android and Google App Store? What a waste of decent hardware.

- Comment on Microsoft Came to Bargain: Use OneDrive for Device Backup, Opt into Loyalty Program and Use Their Products Till You Earn 1000 Points or Pay $30 and They Might Give You Security Updates till Oct 2026. 1 day ago:
Holding security updates hostage is a sicko business strategy. I hope the EU sues them for it.

If you’re going to burn something for energy, burn garbage like non-recyclable plastic waste.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
The ads aren’t targeted properly for one thing. I see ads for stuff that would never apply to me. Such a waste of money. For another, many of the videos already have a sponsor, so they are double-dipping. Also I’m not going to sit through 60 seconds of ads for a five minute video. Get real.
I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO. Charge $3 to $6 a month and I’d consider it. Otherwise I’ll just mute the TV, or skip the programming altogether.

Being a session musician and being a ”star” are completely different. Session musicians aren’t required to sing and dance, stay fit, do interviews, sponsor products, go on tour, do press junkets.
Both session musicians and pop stars can be talented at what they do.
- Comment on A large solar plant in California is closing – what does it mean for solar power? 1 week ago:
Will they re-use the land for traditional solar panels? I mean they already own the average, and it’s already connected to the grid.

Still less than cable/broadcast which runs fifteen to twenty minutes of ads per hour. Given time, I’m sure streaming will catch up.

Maybe he can write some more Google products that he can then turn around and cancel.
- Comment on Having to manage cables is a very 80s thing that we still have to do in 2025. 4 weeks ago:
Still wishing we had used SCART in the US in the 80s. So much simpler than the rca/svideo/coaxial nest of wires.

Look at you, single handily trying to bring back the thorn character.
- Comment on YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing 4 weeks ago:
Interesting chart. Note that this is eyeballs, not profits or subscriber numbers. YouTube is free. All of the other services are paid, even with ads.
I’m wondering where other free services are in this list. It’s missing Tubi and Pluto.
Also there’s no WBD channel. It should be listing out HBO/Max. And where is Hulu on this list?
