- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 day ago:
More like the fact that some distros still cling to X11 will and should scare people the hell away from Linux.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 2 days ago:
I cannot recommend Bazzite. It’s an atomic distribution, which is pioneer tech that tries to make some things better but in effect makes a lot of things more difficult.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 days ago:
Mint’s popularity is unfortunate because it (the last time I checked) defaults to X11, which gives you a desktop built on technology from 1984.

- Comment on I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn’t expect them to be such losers 1 week ago:
That’s exactly what happens when a Facebook competitor (possibly an ethical one) rolls out. Which is part of the problem.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 1 week ago:
I don’t know to what extent they smuggle data out of the devices, but afaik a de-googlified phone such as Pixel + GrapheneOS gets you close.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 1 week ago:
USA is being horrible at the moment, but China has a LOT of convincing to do before I’ll let them deliberately have my data.

How about neither?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 week ago:

- Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. 4 weeks ago:
No, it’s the other way around. Fairphone needs to implement the things Graphene requires.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. 4 weeks ago:
I used a Jolla when it was new. It was pretty decent, and in fact had many innovations. Apple brought gestures to their OS several years after. It was one of the first implementations of a phone UI implement on Wayland. Might still be.
