just looking around for now
they really are trying to fuck themselves over, aren’t they?
i’m gonna switch as soon as game devs realize linux needs anticheat support.
and i know a lot of people who don’t care what operating system they run as long as they can use their web browser on it.
recently reinstalled win10 pro, located in europe using a local account.
haven’t seen any yet.
FP4 user here. while that is true, any android ROM with google services on it isn’t privacy-focused.
but i don’t want to miss out on clash of clans, so here i am using their bullshit spyware.
ex-GX user here. i do not miss chrome.
i played a match and i don’t get it, that game is just boring.
how do people actually play this?
i have colleagues who gush over how they want everyone else to play it.
it’s just so… stale
yup, sadly many of the bands/artists i listen to don’t really offer their music as physicals, but there’s also no way i’m gonna spend 20 bucks on an album just to listen to like 3 of the songs ever.
i have a weird way of listening to music.
my dad has a huge collection of CDs he started in the 80s. and he’s not gonna stop buying every single CD that his favourite bands release.
he rips them onto his ipod and his phone. great way to efficiently own music and get some pretty cool artwork.
so from what i can tell, no one (that i know of) buys CDs to play them out of a playback device, just to own your library.
some bands, and their fans. you can make a cassette look pretty dope.
and i’ve heard prisoners often only have access to cassettes.
particular individual
there’s still two left over in our household. while one is really heavy but manageable, the other one hasn’t been moved in years. probably for the best.
holy telemetry, that’s a long link.
like the US military. most of their mission critical stuff has been running for 20 years that way.
if only there were an operating system that could update without shutting down.
i’ve since made a more professional e-mail, but everything remotely to do with personal stuff uses the adress i made when i was 10.
i wish that still existed, there’s conversions for some modern cars, but it has basically vanished.
welp, gotta stock up on spare parts for my little nugget i guess…
My FP4 was affected by the “ghost touch” hardware bug, i ended up getting a replacement screen after contacting support. (it never fully went away, it has a few spasms every once in a while)
also the crashing while connected to 5G put me in a few pickles. sometimes when receiving a call while watching youtube the call’s notification bubble will take up to 5 seconds to appear at all.
it seems to also ocasionally forget that it has a SIM card installed, though that sim has been in use for 10+ years, so i can’t say if that’s the Fairphones’s fault.
i feel you, the fairphone 4 works well enough for me though. a lot of software/hardware bugs are yet to be ironed out fully, but fairphones are steadily getting better.
although the 6th gen needs to improve a lot, the 5’s launch was disappointing to say the least.
unrelated, but my dad’s iphone SE (1st gen) used to almost burn the house to the ground when playing hill climb racing.
i’m using it at my desk where i have one USB-DAC for my speakers and one for my headphones connected to my PC.
that means i have to switch my monitor from DP to HDMI every time i want to play a game (using samsung’s nipple tech), as well as either running my speakers through a splitter cable hooked up the wrong way to get PC and switch audio, or have the switch on my speakers while having the PC on headphones.
way too much hassle, plus i can lose my cursor on the right screen where the switch is, as well as having to blindly drag apps from there as they start. plus i completely miss incoming desktop messages.
and yes, i watch youtube while playing games. that’s why i need PC audio.
yup, noticed that revanced wasn’t working a week ago.
went into revanced manager, patched the recommended version, installed gmscore, done.
suck it youtube, i’m not paying a subscription to watch low effort vtuber edits.
