What made you pick Colemak over Dvorak? I am not criticizing your choice, just curious. I chose Dvorak because I found the vowels on the home row cut my hand movement a lot. I fully agree with you on the pinky stretches, that’s my worst movement, which I triage by turning on KDE’s “Caps Lock is another backspace” option.
I was a member of a number of groups in a larger gaming community most of which migrated from Reddit/Mumble to Discord. It destroyed the quality and accessibility of written content and lore and I wish it had never happened. Then again, we can’t go back to reddit at this point either.
Guess I’ll be posting my screenshots in 640x480 from now on!
How do you understand this without falling into the defeatist mindset that the sheeple deserve to be imprisoned in the state of enshitification that their ignorance, laziness, and unwillingness to learn has helped build? Put down your iPhone, or go check into your local FEMA camp. I hate to be negative like this, but people really seem to be willing to give up everything for convenience and bling.
This is the only way. These companies are essentially asking for a free license for themselves while everyone else must pay.
“Copyright for thee but not for me.”
Will your warez be legal after you wrap them in an AI model, or only if you are a big, greedy, invasive, tech company?
Giggity?
If we could just remove every parking lot and replace all major roads with trains, we would free up so much mammoth habitat.
From the sound of it, we’re well along the road to better Linux gaming. You have to pay attention to a few things like distro choice, setting up software like wine, and certain tweaks and adjustments, but my understanding is that you can play a lot of good games on GNU/Linux now! If Windows Recall can’t be disabled, I may be diving into Steam, Proton, etc. all over again as I ditch Windows for the last thing I use it for.
You save it for last, but I think your last point should not be overlooked. Linux’s recent successes have been augmented by Windows recent missteps and failures. Considering how bad those are, I think we should credit at least a portion of Linux’s use to Microsoft’s inadequacy in customization and/overreach in privacy.
Agree with you that gov and education should really be using open source software and hardware. Having said that, a normie friendly UI is what killed android and windows for me. Gnome does a good job being easy to use but I prefer KDE because I want configurability more than out of the box simplicity. I do agree with you though that having hardware paired with Linux software like System76 does would increase adoption. Just don’t take away my ability to configure things how I like them.
The gov and higher education should be forced to use open source software. I would absolutely support that.
Teams isn’t a loss, but MS are scumbag greifers for messing with my Minecraft.
This is also the reason why typing on the TV is so bad and the remote has a huge microphone button on it.
The only thing that sounds sketchier than an Amazon drug marketplace is a Temu drug marketplace.
I think this is the most likely theory yet. I don’t install loyalty apps, but if my phone gets the signal and tries to access something that isn’t there because the devs ripped it out that could explain the instability. It would also make me like the devs more as I don’t want to relieve advertising or be tracked. :-)
Let me see what I can figure out.
Definitely running root adblock, but no loyalty apps. I’m curious how that would result in a reboot, but you absolutely pegged the type of user I am. :-)
The last time it happened, I turned off WiFi and BT as well as doing a reboot and it still happened.
I will go and try turning off cell connectivity and if that works, I’ll cycle through 2g/3g/4g/5g and see if it happens with all of them.
My phone scans for networks, but does not automatically join.
I will check on the cell signal aspect of it. The store is walking distance of my home, but the building materials at the store could deteriorate the signal quality worse than being in a timber frame home.
Thank you for the suggestions.
Found a very similar report, but I’m on TMobile, not FI: https://support.google.com/fi/thread/98016588/my-supermarket-reboots-my-phone?hl=en
Hi, yes, I believe its just the UI, it’s not taking nearly the amount of time as a full reboot. I haven’t had a lot of luck capturing meaningful logs on Android but I’ll read up on what logs I can grab. I seem to remember something like “KMESC kernal this or that” that I had to read when troubleshooting an old tablet, but I’m in a bit over my head which means a lot of reading to learn more about Android.
I am not connected to the WiFi, nor do I have the store’s app installed, my garmin watch is connected, but it is always connected.
Millennial here. In high school we used to tape the latest proxy URLs to the bottom of the computer lab keyboards… allegedly. Organized resistance. I remember almost getting in trouble for making IT cry because I made fun of them for accidentally blocking their own website.
