  The new Jolla phone can’t come soon enough. I truly believe the future of tech independence lies with linux, for us, europeans. Anyone welcome ofc.

  I do hope it’ll be a good enough device, even if there will be no NFC phone payments possible.

  ImageI would say something like this rather. We are the lich kings!

  I understand, but they are losing the train I guess. People are giving up easily when they need a solution fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t even create an account on Stoat yet. New account confirmation emails take hours to arrive and by the time they do, they are already expired.

  This is not a discord alternative yet and not be for a long time most likely.

  i’m guessing ipfs is not an option.

  For sure, an ActivityPub video platform that is not TikTok like (i.e Loops) would be amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2k is the best. For pc games it’s thr gold standard for me. I can hardly see the difference from between 2k and 4k and my GPU is grateful.

  “rethinking Recall”… again. Doesn’t Microslop understand anything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And here I thought I was special, seeing as other people actually bother enough to redeem those free games every week. I stopped doing it a long time ago and I’d rather pay for those games on steam/gog offers.

  I can’t be bothered with epic even for the free ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I could sure, with usb passthrough, but the laptop is pretty shit, so it would just be painful and truthfully, I was also curious about how shitty W10 has gotten over the past 10 years.

  I will reinstall linux after I’m done with it anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about such claims. I’ve just finished installing W10 on one of my laptops.

  Use case? BMW coding tools are only built for Windows and using them via wine doesn’t really work.

  As a long time Linux use I can’t even describe what I’m feeling right now.

  Well, I’m 44 so I do remember those days, but I used to be a Netscape user, so there’s that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure.  Next time my wife asks me how how it is outside I’m going to tell her 25.3 degrees and she will be amazed and forever impressed. For sure…

  For normies Chrome IS the internet.

  One plus joined my short list of “I can’t be bothered” companies like Samsung and Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo and some other sub par companies.

  I have coworkers who refer to Chrome as “The Internet”, so there’s that…
