My Pixel 6 Pro commited suicide this week

Reply in thread

Bought the budget version, pixel 6a. I have nothing but good experience with it. It is the best phone I've had, never again spending money on flag ship phones. This shit cost me about $250, and it feels, looks good and faster than my previous bloatware s10 - which cost me $1100 brand new, the battery and the camera was shit, had it for 3 years, couldn't stand having it another year.

In a couple of years I'll by a new low budget phone. You don't need a flag ship phone trust me, if it's not for the camera, but then I'd buy an iPhone.

I honestly don't get these posts, there's a couple of things that is super weird.

  1. Why does every discussion about Wayland include trashing xorg?

  2. Isn't the solution pretty obvious, stop mainting xorg if you don't like to maintain xorg, who is forcing you to maintain xorg?

I really don't care if I'm using xorg or wayland, I just want something that works, and I have tried wayland and that isn't the case as of the moment. And I don't care about the why, because I can't be like yeah I use Wayland that's why I can't be on this video conference.

Just stop mainting it if you don't want to maintain it, problem solved, move on.

Read the article again, if you didn't understand read it again, if you still couldn't manage to read to whole article, look for help. Because the Article answers exactly your question and it states: they are not against targeted ads, meta can still use information that the user gives meta - their bio, their interests and other shit. What they are against is meta spying on it's users and collecting information about the user, that the user hasn't given meta permission to use, like location data, behaviour patterns.

I remember when YouTube was relatively new, there were a lot of fox news videos. But all the videos of fox news or rush Limbaugh was, compilations of how retatded they were. Now some how, they are seen as a real news media. 🤮

The people who liked fox/Limbaugh type of media were rideculed, so they wouldn't come out of the woodwork. Now they're everywhere, they have managed to radicalize the whole world.

Rant about Nvidia related updates on Linux

Reply in thread

Yeah no, most build scripts if they are worth their salt, will absolutely not pull the latest package from a given source. Because that is insane, 99% of the time they validate the download with a checksum, meaning that you have to update the checksum in the build script, or in the case of multiple downloads - multiple checksums.

Yes pacman is the underlying technology that enables aur to exist.

I'm not new to Linux, I know what arch is. And Debian isnt the only alternative to arch. Like I said every Major distribution has community repositories.

Ubuntu has packstall, Fedora rpm fusion, opensuse probably has some aswell, void has community repositories in xbps. And guess what they are all pretty up to date.

I'm not going to install a Linux distro based on the community repository, I'm not even running any of the major distro, because I don't care what packages are available. I have a few programs that I run, and it's not that hard to make other programs work, when you know what to do.
