I don’t think the award system is the only place where they messed up…

Unfortunately, yes.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 1 week ago:
They also make obtaining games for a reasonable price impossible, so hacking the switch is kinda necessary. And they make playing games with reasonable frame rates impossible, so emulating the Switch on a powerful PC is reasonable.

There’s a very detailed article about GrapheneOS banking app compatibility where you can check if your bank’s app works on Graphene: github.com/…/banking-apps-compat-report/
Regarding the camera: Yes, you lost some quality with the default GrapheneOS camera app. But you can easily install the official Google camera app from the Play store (or anonymously through Aurora) to get full quality. You don’t even need Google play services installed for that to work, and you can revoke it’s network access, so it’s completely offline and private. I use the Google camera app all the time, it works flawlessly.

GrapheneOS gets rid of all the Google crap, it’s a much lighter and more minimal experience, I really like it. It also has some significant privacy and security improvements, it’s pretty neat.
- Comment on Now, if it was a Pixel... 1 week ago:
Do you have GrapheneOS installed on it? That way, you could at least get the update to Android 14.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 1 week ago:
If you have a hacked Switch you can use mtp-server or ftpd. I like the MTP approach, it works just like DeckyMTP on the Steam Deck.

GrapheneOS is the way to go, unfortunately the 5a won’t be supported by Google for much longer, only until August of this year. GrapheneOS will probably provide a few extra months of extended support though.
- Comment on Now, if it was a Pixel... 1 week ago:
The Pixel 7a is almost the same size, just 0.2 inches bigger. Unlike the S10e, it is still supported by Google and gets security updates (until 2028). And you can install a better, more secure Android ROM like GrapheneOS.
- Comment on “Dumb phones” offer an escape from the endless scroll 1 week ago:
I understand why, but dumbphones aren’t good solutions for most people’s problems. They have many disadvantages, for example they don’t offer secure (encrypted) communications (except for the Punkt MP02 which has Signal support, but it also has other issues), you don’t get a proper keyboard, no touchscreen, and you often can’t even look something up on Wikipedia. You can’t listen to music/podcasts, use the phone for navigation or take notes. Most people just end up getting frustrated by a dumb phone, and switch back to a smartphone and continue wasting their time on social media. A decluttered smart phone with restrictions for social media usage is much more effective. The videos I linked in my original comment explain this pretty well.

- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 1 week ago:
2 assumptions:
You need to unlock your phone more frequently than your laptop.
It’s easier to type in a password on a real keyboard than on a small software keyboard.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
In Germany, there is a conservative/far-right party that actually sees things that way. The AfD, the self-proclaimed “Alternative for Germany” (literally the spiritual successor to the NSDAP, the party of Adolf Hitler) once posted this picture on Facebook: Image
It shows a map of Germany, divided in two parts. The east, where the AfD has many supporters labeled as the Federal Republic of Germany, and the West where the AfD has been losing many elections labeled as an islamic Caliphate. These Nazis actually think that half of Germany is controlled by migrants and islamists. This insane view of the world is so fucked up, I can’t really describe it. Fun fact: An AfD member of the German parliament has been caught accepting large sums of money from Russia. Their MPs repeatedly traveled to Russia during the invasion of Ukraine, including the illegally annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea. They also think that Russian elections are totally legit and Putin the war criminal has been legitimately elected by the Russian people. Their MPs also work for the Chinese intelligence service btw: lemmy.world/post/15121591

You. don’t. need. a. dumb. phone. to fix your social media addiction
Basically every modern smartphone has features that allow you to restrict your usage of distracting apps/websites. You can recreate a minimalistic dumb phone on your smartphone using free & open source software or your operating system’s built-in tools/features. There are a few good videos about this:

Israel and China are both authoritarian shitholes, but China is much worse. Boycott both of them, as well as all the other authoritarian shitholes on this planet

- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 2 weeks ago:
Time in terms of setting everything up or learning how to use it? Because I can tell you that both are relatively easy. The installation is super easy, no harder than an ordinary Windows setup. The Steam Deck by default uses a desktop environment called KDE, as a Windows user, you should feel right at home. I’d say it’s very intuitive to use and easy to learn. As Bazzite tries to mimic the Steam Deck experience as closely as possible, it uses the exact same stuff. Maybe check out this video.

You can always dual-boot. Bazzite is a very stable Linux distro, which is optimized for gaming and basically gives you the same experience you would get on a Steam Deck. I highly recommend it.
