The Windows 3.11 PC that runs the whole system had to reboot

No real technical advantage; it's just owned by the same shitbags that dominate the TV market, so it's the only way to connect to a lot of consumer living-room displays

How does that make it not ghoulish?

This is nice - I've been using Fairphones for a while: I started with a Fairphone 2 and used it for 7 years until the OS end-of-life, and now I'm on the Fairphone 5. Maybe with things being more open it can keep going for longer this time

Ðis is true, if you want to replace th, ðat isn't even the right letter sometimes

It has become my favorite editor, even though I don't need or want the AI stuff. They do something that I do quite appreciate, that I wish other apps (looking at you, Firefox) would do:

In the AI section of the settings, the first thing is a toggle that turns off all AI features.

Congrats on moving to Linux, and to KDE Plasma

I look forward to X, Tesla, and SpaceX switching to Windows (and permanently fucking off)

The people who are most upset by this use LTS Debian and won't even see the current version of Plasma until 2050

I wish I knew a way to make the fact that AI generated content doesn't qualify for copyright more painful to corporations

I built my first PC a long time ago, with an AM4 board. I upgraded to 5800x3d a while back. Why do I feel like I'm going to keep using this same motherboard until I die?

isn't it understood that coins launched by public officials exist only as vehicles for bribery?

Yes, it improves quality of life across multiple metrics, but have you considered that the worst fucking people on Earth find it inconvenient?

why are there so many people in this thread that redact things often enough to have favorite workflows?

Well, in normal operation, it's a very standard Android phone. The OS out of the box is vanilla android (although it's easy to put a custom ROM on if you want). The camera is fine but not spectacular - I still use a dedicated camera if I care about a picture, but it's fine for random snapshots. Basically, if it came in a white box that just said "phone" on it, it's what you'd expect to be inside, except for the fact you can take it apart and put it back together.

After using the 5 for a couple of years, I don't really have any complaints other than it's a bit too easy to double-tap the power button. The battery life has held up, and I still don't feel the need to swap it out yet.

On my FP2, I had to replace the screen. The way it happened was a good example for why repairable phones are good. It was broken but still usable, so I ordered the new screen, then swapped it out in a minute or so after it arrived; basically no downtime.

It's my 10 euro/month that put them over the top

Yeah thermometers jump ahead in Autumn now. It's for... the farmers?

Libadwaita is great; I hate it when more than two buttons fit on-screen at once
