There is the Linux-based Jolla phone:

But their UI framework and Android app support system are not open source.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 2 days ago:
I wouldn’t trust a local LLM solution from a large American company. Not saying that they would try to “pull a quick one”, but they are unreliable and corrupt.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 2 days ago:
Nadella maybe know a lot more than any of us about LLMs/GenAI tech, but one doesn’t need to know anything about LLMs (or even technology) to know that an oligarch like Nadella cannot be trusted (in any context).
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 days ago:
Of course, of course!
You’re not at all engaging in demagoguery and trying cheaps tricks (no one can read the thread OP what it says specifically)! So what kind of discussion can there be about no one buying into your narrative, right?
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 days ago:
Right, so because I don’t believe the following:
China is a democracy with 9 political parties … You’re allowed to criticize the government … [GIA conspiracy gibberish]
This makes me a “doomsday cult leader”.
Sure, thing! ;)

Have you ever lived in a non-Western country? Or are you parroting some random copytext you saw online?
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 days ago:
I hope this is satire, but this being Threadi I have my doubts.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 days ago:
much cheaper sodium-ion battery
To my understanding, these aren’t suitable for many use cases we associate with batteries (smartphones, EVs, laptops), but it has the potential to have a massive impact on utility scale battery systems and industrial use cases.
- Comment on Ideas for a better Lemmy experience 3 days ago:
This sounds like a much better approach.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 days ago:
I don’t think they’ll bother, they get oil from the russians at a massive discount relative to world markets.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 days ago:
I wonder if the prediction that China will hit peak oil in 2027 will come true. This will have a massive impact on oil markets.

I stand corrected. :)
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 January 2026 Update Issues, Releases Fixes 4 days ago:
I live in Excel and PowerPoint, for games messing around with mods/config is fine, for work I cannot deal with random edge cases. PowerBI is Microsoft’s visualization platform, I am actually not a big fan of it (for the area where I work, I could see it being fine in other cases), but this is not something that’s going to change quickly.
There is indeed a version of Teams for Linux. I really need to get a new laptop and try dual boot, I am behind the times on desktop.
I’d also recommend using a laptop with two SSDs if possible, one for linux and one for windows, to alleviate some of the headaches in dual booting.
Good to know, I only buy 17” inch laptops (thinking of going 18”, but the selection is a lot worse), so I might even be able to get one with dual SSDs.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 January 2026 Update Issues, Releases Fixes 4 days ago:
I am planning to do some experiments once I get a new laptop (which I will dual boot). I think gaming support has increased massively since I last tried it 5+ years ago (my usage of linux is via DIY SBC home server).
Office/PowerBI/Teams and some other business applications (where the web version does not cut it) is the real dealbreaker.
That being said, I am not moving to Windows11, so I have three year to prepare to move to Linux (and I suspect Win10 will be supported even after that).
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 January 2026 Update Issues, Releases Fixes 5 days ago:
I need Office/PowerBi/Teams to work without issue. The web versions do not cut it for my use cases.
Some older games that I still play regularly (Simcity 4 with heavy modding) also have problems when running Wine.
That being said, I will probably try dual booting when I get a new laptop, I am done with US platforms (this covers Android too).
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 January 2026 Update Issues, Releases Fixes 5 days ago:
It sounds like you will have a more stable experience on Windows 10 where they only release security fixes.
- Comment on Any scheduling fediverse serivce other than schedule.lemmings.world 5 days ago:
Piefeds scheduling is very intuitive and works well (it supports Lemmy communities too).
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Stupid idea.
I say this as someone who lives in a country where multiple random US sites (from work-related to gaming) do a country-wide IP block.
- Comment on ‘They’ve pickled each others’ brains’ 1 week ago:
This is a “teenager just discovered speed” level of sophomoric writing.
It really is. It’s almost reads like a parody of a regressive oligarch.
- Comment on ‘They’ve pickled each others’ brains’ 1 week ago:
There is a silver lining to all this, an opportunity for the rest of the world to embrace new models (open competitive markets, truly customer-focused services) that go beyond the American cult of the pompous, regressive oligarch. Not saying it will happen tomorrow or in an utopian fairy tale manner, but history tends to be cyclical.
To get the next peak, you have to hit bottom first.
A side note, check out Marc Andreessen’s “manifesto":

This is “teenager just discovered speed” level sophomoric writing.
This is a good thing, it means with right kind of pressure he will fold as he doesn’t believe in what he is writing.

- Comment on A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers 1 week ago:
I don’t have a bias against LLMs, I use them regularly albeit either for casual things (movie recommendation) or an automation tool in work areas where I can somewhat easily validate the output or the specific task is low impact.
I am just curious, do you respect robots.txt?

- Comment on we need more users 1 week ago:
I am talking about MAUs exclusively, not the number of accounts. MAUs of course don’t account for users with multiple active accounts, but I would suspect that this class of user is a small minority.
Still not sure why there is such a big difference in MAUs between FediDB and Fedi Observer (Hexbear does not have 10K MAU).
- Comment on we need more users 1 week ago:
Interestingly enough, the stats for Piefed are nearly identical for both sources, the Lemmy delta is huge though.
