I think the biggest argument against headphone jack taking up space is the existence of the Samsung Ultra with the Spen. Samsung has an excuse for the Ultra not having a headphone jack with the space dedicated to the Spen. But, most phones don’t have a built in stylus, so what’s the excuse for them. Not like phones have gotten tinier. How is the spen a technological possibility, but headphone is being made to be some technological difficultly that is more difficult to overcome?

Never had those problems of the phones with headphone jacks I’ve used. Feels like an exaggeration of problems being made like an infomercial.

Not like people really can these days. Options get even narrower if people start putting in settings they need like good software support and unlockable bootloader. Despite the many options there isn’t really a phone that doesn’t have some sort of concession to it despite the increasing price points.

Yeah, one of things that stood out was how much Apple tries to push signing into account too. And compared to Linux doesn’t seem like you can use their App store without logging in on MacOS compared to Linux App Store.

That’s nice thing about rss too. With Feeder on Android it has blocking filters to apply the same keyword based filters. Useful if you have a broad rss source that pulls from various sources and find some sources useless. And there’s categories you can set to separate things out so there’s like tech news, game news, international news, economy, etc. And with compact view it looks like a traditional social media subscription feed, and I find myself actually reading the articles with the comments not being the draw with none to begin with.

I found rss has been the best way to stay up to date over user curated articles that itself has its own biases in what they choose to submit. Just seeing the list of news from even one source without some voting or submission based algorithm at play kind of showed how much people submit the most clickbait or attention grabbing articles to try to get karma. Especially some instances depending on how politically driven they are to push their agenda to everyone. So rss has seemed preferable for a very broad look to see what’s going on with current events. Has been the best delivery system I’ve found on the internet so far with more a time of published based feed than a curated algorithm of social media.

I moved to RSS for overall news, so it’s helped to not have to be so careful with keyword based blocklists and keyword based community blocklists. I think that’s been one of the better things to come from this reddit event where I’ve moved towards rss over social media driven news posting.

Connect for lemmy instance block has been helpful. Helps clean up communities in one go if you find you don’t like a majority of the communities from an instance and they seem too active populating /c/all and hurting discovery of communities you might be interested in from during a quick browse.

Fediverse isn’t active or big enough to sustain subscribed like reddit. Some communities just die out too, so new is a way to discover new communities of interest.

I wonder if that suggests that hardware made prior to that data doesn’t suffer from the same flaws? Or if it’s just an arbitrary cut off they decided on for the affected customers they would include in the lawsuit.

The complaint is seeking class-action certification on behalf of people who bought a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro, SanDisk Extreme, or Western Digital My Passport SSD that was “designed, manufactured, distributed, promoted and/or sold” since January 2023.

Looks like this is for people who’ve purchased the drives since January 2023. So does it not affect people from before?

You could at least explain why you avoid firefox, so the comment at least is more informative.

I’m waiting on Linux to get proper HDR support before being able to use one for TV use. Been waiting for that for years.

Yeah, I think there needs to be a push for less of these circle jerk posts. It seem more appropriate for a meme community than something that I at least assume is meant to be about more focused discussion about Linux than a Windows fixation.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand the dislike for snap.

One of the things I found annoying on reddit was when people would cry about getting downvote instead of making a comment without worrying about whether they got downvoted or not.

Making edits crying about getting downvoted or first saying I’ll probably be downvoted for this but… I really disliked those.

But, I will agree that it is preferable to leave a message explaining why someone disagrees rather than just downvoting. Whining about it is just as annoying though. If my instance let me downvote I’d downvote those comments even if I agreed.

Yeah, if they can’t even install steam how the hell do they even deal with getting non steam games to work on Linux, which can be a more involved process than install game and play.

It is surprisingly good at finding generic drivers. First time I actually had to get drivers manually for a printer in years was MacOS Ventura. And then for an old PC I had to get some custom drivers that worked on newer kernel for an old Nvidia card due to the generic one causing freezing.

Yeah, I genuinely do not understand having used Windows, Linux, and MacOS. They are making it sound like it’s trying to decipher some unknown language. Even a quick YouTube would have solved how to install a exe.

Yet you expect random people to know even more when you believe that? Go ask experts like your doctor or search out a university professor if you are that skeptical. Or are they untrustworthy too except for these random users on the internet who you know absolutely nothing about when it comes to their qualifications other than a background in social media usage.

Not like accounts are needed to be able to see content either, which is a plus even if the instance you use is defederated. I think it’s better to just see each instance like an old school forum. Sometimes you need to make another account to access a specific forum. Sometimes not if the forum has categories you are interested in already. So it’s like a way of going back to the old way of the internet where things are starting to get much more decentralized.
